Barabbas:

Gary of all people would be insistent on a big end of the year bash- any year, really, but especially this one. Even if Kindred don’t have to worry about catching airborn viruses, all the societal changes and avoiding drawing attention by becoming a plague bearer would add stress to everyone’s unlives. (Though I imagine the mask mandates might’ve negated a bit of that for higher generation nossies who can pass for human in a hoodie, mask, and giant glasses.) Just nosferatu, really, maybe some of the higher performing and trusted ghouls. He’d dress up and encourage others to do the same, but I doubt he’d *force* the issue out of respect for his other clan mates. Not a lot of nossies bother keeping formal wear- except for maybe JUST these kinds of parties- and for some I’m sure wearing it would only aggravate their insecurities. Games of all varieties, music, candle light, an elaborate selection of different blood bags and rats. Spiked and virgin options are available. Maybe some gambling, but with secrets on non-nossie kindred instead of money. Gary is in the middle of it all, playing the perfect host and basking in the attention. The skeletons ARE out and decorate accordingly. No one is allowed to move them.

Imalia would 100% be in attendance in a lavish ball gown. Gary’s extreme makeover didn’t stop her from being a fashionista, and she’ll take any chance she can get to doll up and show off. Dance a little- Gary always makes sure she owes him the first dance- play some cards and board games. Try to demolish Mitnick in Mario Cart or Smash Bros. She might even enjoy herself a little, not that she’ll say that out loud.

Mitnick shows up for the games and because Gary expects him to. He is NOT dressed up, mostly because he forgot until the last minute when Gary dragged him away from implanting some viruses on an unsuspecting moron’s computer. But his clothes are at least cleaner and more wrinkle free than usual. He might not stay the whole time, but he’ll enjoy the games and chatting with some other nossies who maybe don’t drop by the Hollywood warrens as regularly.
