[brokethefourthwall]

Who: Pinkie Pie, the New Feathers, and you!
What: Pinkie Pie's Party Palooza: New Feather Party Edition!
When: September 22, evening until late night.
Where: The Battle Dome
Summary: Get your Masquerade on
Rating: P for Pinkie Pie Party Paradise


The night is finally here! Pinkie Pie and friends have been working hard to get everything absolutely perfect. The Battle Dome has been done up to look like a grand ballroom, complete with dance hall and dining area. A small, but elegantly decorated stage is situated in the middle of the dance hall, and is equipped with microphones and speakers for anyone willing to perform. Otherwise, the dome is set up to play songs on request.

The dining area is equipped with a buffet-style dinner selection, filled with food contributed by various donators, highlighted by a large cake at the central table, which is then surrounded by smaller tarts, pies and pastries. Wine, champagne, and other choice drinks are available from ice chests near the buffet line.

Finally, since it was so popular with the last party, the night will be ended with a fireworks display over the dome. Afterwards, Pinkie Pie will be going around making sure everyone gets home safely, before returning to the dome to start cleaning up.

Note: Like Pinkie's last party, this one has a theme: a Masquerade Ball. Everyone who enters must wear a mask, and keep it on for the entirety of the party. If you haven't picked one out yourself, Pinkie would be more than happy to provide one for you.

Sorry Logan. Any attempts at privacy are completely useless against Pepper's surprise that he's actually at a masquerade ball. Logan is probably one of the last people Pepper would've expected to see there, and what's more, someone's gotten him to actually dress up--or at least, what has to qualify as dressing up for him. Pepper's wear is much more formal, with an obvious color scheme to those who know a bit about who she's with.

"Hello Logan." Pepper doesn't even try to hide the amusement in her voice. "How are you doing tonight?"

[snikting]

Why did all these tall women feel the need to add heels to their already generous height? Not that Logan, short and squat hairy man that he was, showed any signs of complaint about this. When she caught him, he had plate of the cake in his hand.

"Oh, I'm great, Potts. Doin' 'xactly what I'd hoped I'd be doin' tonight."

[handing]

"I'll bet." Seriously, how is she not supposed to laugh at the situation? "I'm almost afraid to ask just who managed to get you out here for this. And dressed up too."

Even if it isn't a full suit, Pepper has no doubt it counts as dressed up for him.

[snikting]

The only way he'd be more dressed up was if he needed to be in disguise in a suit and jacket affair.

"Yeah, well, she didn't want to come here solo." Logan gave a subtle nod over to where Ororo was standing.

[handing]

And then it wouldn't really count since it'd be for a mission.

Pepper looks where Logan has nodded, then turns back to him with a brighter smile.

"Ororo? I met her earlier. She seems very nice. Are you and she an item?"

[snikting]

He snorted, vaguely amused.

"What, me and 'Roro? Nah. We just work together."

[handing]

"Really? You know, Tony and I just worked together for a long time."

Just a fact she felt the need to point out. And if she was grinning when she said it, Logan could probably guess why.

[snikting]

He doesn't appreciate the implication. "Yeah? Well maybe 'Roro's got better taste in men than you do."

Tony was probably a better man than Logan, though. Marginally.

[handing]

That gets Pepper to laugh. "Ouch, Logan. I'm hurt."

Except she really wasn't. Pepper's well aware what people tended to think of Tony. Besides, she had only been teasing him.

[snikting]

"There ain't never been anythin' romantic about our relationship. S'all there is to it."

He wasn't even being that defensive. Just stating the facts. He knew what he was and what she was. Compatibility wasn't a thing there.

[handing]

Pepper nods, raising her hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Okay. I believe you." Because she'll tease, but Pepper can tell when the joke gets old. "It's still nice to see you again, under more normal circumstances."

Ones not involving Pepper wearing a towel.

[snikting]

Or Logan covered in blood.

"These ain't exactly normal circumstances for me."

[handing]

"I meant it generally. We're not being experimented on."

Although Pepper doesn't doubt that this isn't Logan's typical scene. "Have you tried dancing at all? Not that the buffet doesn't have it's merits."

[snikting]

"I don't dance. I ain't keen on learnin' either."

He wanted to preemptively block any offers she might get in her head to ask him. Even if she had her own date, she seemed pesky enough to try it.

[handing]

He wasn't wrong about that. Although she also wouldn't let it drop that easily.

"Have you ever tried?"

[snikting]

"Sure. Once. That was enough."

[handing]

"For your entire life?" Pepper was more than a little curious, although she was mostly teasing. She didn't expect to convince Logan to change his mind. "It wasn't an awkward attempt when you were a teenager, was it?"

[snikting]

"School dances weren't exactly a priority in my teenage years."

By then he'd lost his family and was on his own. Just trying to survive.

[handing]

"Okay." Something about how he says it makes Pepper think that if she doesn't want this conversation to turn somber, she probably shouldn't pursue that path. "So, tell me about when you did dance. What didn't you like about it?"

[snikting]

"All of it. There ain't no use proddin' me over it, Potts." It was enough he didn't like it. It annoyed him that she was trying to pry for a reason.

[handing]

"Okay, okay. Point taken." She didn't mean to make him uncomfortable. The whole even was supposed to be about having a good time. "No more asking about your dancing history, and no making offers to dance with you."

[snikting]

"Thanks. Now that's an offer I can appreciate."
