ACAB | ANY REP (<8 MOST LIKELY) | NYE PARTY
What: A New Year’s Eve Celebration at The Velvet Veil
Who: Hosted by The Velvet Veil — all patrons and members welcome.
Cost: 14s cover charge includes one Polyjuice dose and a complimentary “Midnight” cocktail
Where: The Main Club (with access to suites, lounges, and member areas as usual)
Why: Out with the old year. In with bad decisions.
When: December 31, 1895
As the clocks tick toward midnight, the club leans fully into indulgence: polyjuice night so you can go all out and still protect your identity, euphoria elixirs have been snuck into the mixed drinks (and the bar staff has been instructed explicitly to be heavy-handed), and at 9pm sharp, there is an anonymous auction to bid on the remainder of the evening with someone of your choice. It's a celebration of endings, beginnings, and the knowledge that whatever happens is covered by the magic of anonymity.
Begins at 8pm: Polyjuice Night (Included with Cover)
Polyjuice is the centerpiece indulgence of the evening. Every guest receives a Polyjuice dose upon entry — if you pay the 14s cover, you receive a randomly selected polyjuice. If you pay the 28s cover, you're able to select from a curated menu that show's a mini portrait of who you'll change into. The effects last until shortly after midnight… or until removed by the entrance wards upon exit for those who leave before then. (Polyjuice might be your employer, a Ministry official, your scorned lover, an innocent debutante, etc.) Guests know they may be mistaken for someone else all evening and that others may react to them accordingly.
(The club maintains plausible deniability. You chose to drink it.)
From 8pm-9pm: Musical Stage Performances and Dancing
The stage rotates performances throughout the evening:
- Goblin jazz ensembles with heavy bass and slow, sultry tempos
- Drag chanteuses performing bawdy Victorian ballads
- String quartets that shift rhythm mid-song, forcing dancers closer
9pm: The Anonymous Auction
The auction is silent and anonymous and run by a Legillimens staff member. Bid on spending the remainder of the evening with the polyjuiced person on stage for dancing, drinking, conversation, etc. (Maybe they volunteered themselves, maybe their friends did, or maybe they thought it was the line to the bathroom.) Each is introduced with a short, suggestive description that the announcer made up on the spot that has a 99.9% chance of being inaccurate and theatrical.
Midnight:
The music swells into one final dance (during the last five minutes of the year), and the new year is announced with showers of glitter and fireworks. The Polyjuice effects fade, but the euphoria elixir effects hit their peak.
Contact Player(s): Barnabas Skeeter Té, Lynn, Fox, Beanie, Kit, Lady, but also it's meant for everyone to use so just have fun!
