Jack's Smashing Party!

[tenthdoc.livejournal.com]

The Doctor was asked to help do the greeting of Jack's guests, he's standing there trying to keep his hands from walking over towards a pile of pizza boxes. The Time Lord sways on his feet and he goes to walk towards the ball room doors that the party is going to be held in. "I was really hoping for the beach party." He even had an outfit lined up for that one that wasn't his tuxedo and bow tie.

With the doors open, he's there to lend out a hand and he was kind enough to help transport people to New York. "Well, welcome to Jack's party, if you were expecting a meal for a king...well if you're the King of the Pizza people this is it for you lot." That Lombardo's Pizza is tempting and he's trying to keep his Meta-Crisis from helping himself before everyone arrives.

The band consists of a few random street musicians who were willing to play on demand. "Ah, that's lovely. The sounds of New York City are happening right here!"

OOC: This is a typical social gathering thread. There's no pose order but please be mindful of the other players involved. It will continue so long as people tag to it, make sure to track this one!

Romana enters a bit nervously wearing this:

Yes, it is blue... TARDIS blue, as is only appropriate.  She sees Ten going after the pizzas and wanders over to him. 

"Don't you think you should wait until the party's started?"

[tenthdoc.livejournal.com]

The Doctor's about to finger the pizza's and he looks over his shoulder. "Oh, we've got enough for everyone." There's no sign of that little blond who nearly made a mess of Johnny's funeral so there should be enough for everyone.

He glances at the other bits of odd, there's mini hot dogs and your basic party nibbles. "Oh, there's lots of nibbles here." He looks back at Romana and he smiles brightly. "Oh, you look lovely, its TARDIS inspired right?"

[romana2]

[Romana smiles sweetly.]

She wouldn't let me out unless I was wearing something blue....

[She looked him up and down.]

You cleaned up nice as well.

[tenthdoc.livejournal.com]

He looks at his tuxedo and then the trainers, he wasn't going to wear those dress shoes simply because they're painful. "She wasn't going to let me out without this. Alisa said, dress in your finest."

He's sure to find others out there without fancy clothes. The Doctor's eyes light up at the sight of a tray of crab balls. "Ooh, these look nice." He takes one of the sword poked crab delights at least they managed 'normal' food for the occasion. "I think Jack will like this myself."

John is totally crashing this party. He thinks his invitation got lost in a time vortex or something.

"Oi! Any liquor? There'd better be an open bar..."

[tenthdoc.livejournal.com]

There's a bar, a very open bar and sadly they've had to put this together at such a short notice. "There's a few kegs and well..." He looks at a couple party balls of all things there. "Those. And well..." He points to the bottles of liquor, juices and pretty much a 'do it yourself bar'.

[justsex-sex-sex.livejournal.com]

"That's barely enough to give me a decent buzz." John mutters, giving the tall Doctor a mock salute before seating himself at the bar and beginning to pour ten shots of vodka, five shots of tequila, and another five shots of rum. 51st century metabolism is nothing to sneeze at, it took a lot for him to get drunk.

Andrew enters with the meta-meta in tow, both of them dressed much differently than normal. Andrew went for the full three-piece suit, but the meta-meta's suit is simpler and the blond isn't wearing a tie, as it was hard enough to get him dressed up at all. He's got his wrist cuff on under one of those nice sleeves, too, and Andrew feels mildly guilty about that and about the leash he put in his pocket just in case a need for it should come up...but not guilty enough to have refrained from putting it on him.

And, of course, as soon as they enter the meta-meta wants to make a beeline for the pizza. Andrew grabs his hand and holds him back. "Let's say hello to some people first, alright?" he asks quietly, though really, he just wants to stop the meta-meta from pigging out and giving them both stomach aches.

[tenthdoc.livejournal.com]

The Doctor's there among the people, or was more like it there among the cake when he tried to swipe at some of the colorful icing he was given a good pull towards Andy. "Andy! A pleasure to see you here! And, Meta-Meta!"

His own hand is there in his nice suit with a fancy top hat to add to it. He watches Meta-Meta and he ohs. "He wants the party nibbles. I don't think Jack wants his food to go missing now."

The Doctor was going to consider going to the 51st century to get a nice bottle of hypervodka but he wants to avoid people getting sick or a 51st century orgy.

[romana2]

[Romana follows the Doctor and smiles at Meta-Meta. She smiles, albeit a bit forced, at Handy and offers her hand for him to shake.]

It's good to see you both.

Koschei arrives dressed in a proper tuxedo, not just his usual black suit. With something pinned to the lapel... a name badge, clearly showing anyone in front of him who he actually is. It is a bit demeaning, but, still. If that was what it took.

[mrcoffeejones.livejournal.com]

Ianto has been there helping with getting the place set up, he did the best he could in getting more quality food in such a short order. He knew that there was a chance of the Meta-Meta being there and his own Meta-Crisis was trying to get at the large fancy cake that he managed to get.

He steps out from the kitchen doors with his Meta-Crisis in a suit. "Evening." He tells the rest and he looks to see if Jack and Patrick eventually arrived.

Gwen slowly made her way into the party, looking around at everyone with a shy smile. She looked beautiful in a simple black dress and faux fur wrap. (http://i52.tinypic.com/2ewywrd.jpg) In her arms, she carried her daughter, Anwen, in a simple pink baby jumper with matching hat and booties.

Looking around, she saw people she knew and people she didn't. Though, the only people she had met so far was the Doctor, Liz, and Jack of course. He had told her that the other team members were here and alive, but she had to see it in person. Reaching up, she wiped a tear away, unsure who to go see first.

Hesitantly, she made her way over to Ianto. "Yan," she asked, gently rocking Anwen in her arms.

[mrcoffeejones.livejournal.com]

Ianto's dress code is normally something fitting for this party but he went for a classic tuxedo instead. He had heard that there was a Gwen joining them and he looks over his shoulder to see who might be the one. He was well briefed on his status to this one.

A smile crossed his face, he was happy to see her here and he walked over towards her. This has to be the one, the one who has a child. "Hello Gwen." He's gotten used to being that dead man walking and he glances down at the little one in her arms.

He looks back up to her and he shifts on his feet a bit. He's used to being a ghost to the various Jack's he crossed. "It's a pleasure to see you here tonight."

Owen has arrived in just a T-shirt and a pair of jeans, he broke the dress code simply because he hates suits and his other was left in Malibu. He's going to make his way over towards the bar to begin drinking.

He recalls the last party for a Jack they had and it simply went badly. He waits to see if Liz will join him there. "This is all going to go to shit."

[open-flame.livejournal.com]

Unimpressed Liz is unimpressed. "Owen. Seriously?" He's not even wearing a jacket for her to steal to cover herself up. Now that she sees her date isn't even in a suit, she feels flat out ridiculous in the pink dress and accessories (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=28720291) she bought to mock the fact not one, but two Jack's called her a princess. "Tell me I at least look a little bit hot...please?" She's pleading. Liz was of hoping to lean on Owen for a bit of bravery to pull off this joke, but it's not working.

"I look stupid, and you look like you just came from the mall. No fair." She grumbles and leans against the bar. "Nobody's gonna get the joke. I feel like I'm dressed up for Halloween." Liz grumbles and grabs for a scotch. "Nice to be back in New York, though." She adds after a huge sip of liquor.

[wanker4life.livejournal.com]

His leather jacket is resting on the back of the bar stool and he looks at Liz. "What? I left my suit back in Malibu and besides, I think our neighbor threw up on it." He tells Liz and he leans back with his hand on a bottle of beer.

They're back in New York, he's got his medical stuff here and he's simply happy to be back somewhere close enough to home. "Want a drink?" He asks her and he then looks at the dress. "You look gorgeous Liz." He's trying to be honest with her about this and he nods towards his jacket. "If you feel that repulsed by it? You can borrow my jacket."

"Yeah, it is nice to be back here. Los Angeles is nice but our work is mostly here still."

[impossible-jack.livejournal.com]

He straightens his coat and steps through the door. Strangely uncomfortable in not only the attire, but the surroundings as well. All the familiar faces, some not so familiar. Quite a few that hurt him to see. He hangs back trying to remain unnoticed, once again unlike himself. He would really rather be back at the HUB working, or monitoring, or just sitting alone than be here surrounded.

Oh well, He puts on a bright smile and glances around the room. Hoping to spot a nice quiet corner to sit in and wait.

[tenthdoc.livejournal.com]

He's almost about to give people the word but this, this isn't there Jack but The Doctor wanders over to see him anyway. "Captain!" He wanders over to join the Captain and he leaves his Meta behind with Andy and Romana.

He notices this one is off and he goes to join him in the nice quiet corner. "Nice corner, yeah?" The Doctor asks him and he looks at the suit. "And, you look completely smashing."

[impossible-jack.livejournal.com]

He looks up at the Doctor and half smiles. "Doctor." He snorts a small laugh and looks around at the corner he's sitting in. "Seems like it, so far. It's got a good view." Jack looks down at his suit and then back up at the Doctor, "Thank you. It's taking some getting used to, but I don't think I mind it so much." The captain grins a little bit brighter at the Doctor. "How are you?"

[theflyboy.livejournal.com]

Jack slowly made his way into the room, looking around in confusion. Not only did he not recognize anyone in the room, he was soaking wet and dripping water on to the floor. "Huh..." He looked around the room, then blinked when he saw another Jack as well.

"Confusing doesn't begin to sum it up," he murmured to himself. Looking back over his shoulder, he peeked to make sure Jack was with him. He was strong. He could do this. He didn't need Jack beside him as he entered an unknown situation. And yet, he really wanted Jack there with him. At least till he got a proper drink.

[iwasforgiven]

Jack made it into the ball room on one of the lower floors that lead towards the elevators that would bring him up to his penthouse apartment on the top floor of the building.

He tried the best he could to explain things to Jack during the flight into Central Park across the street. It was a mad and wet dash across the street and Jack tried to keep themselves from being bounced off a few taxi bonnets. Alisa left to return the helicopter to the heliport and to get the twins.

He finally stops to look at the room full of people that he knows and he blinks a bit. He's wet and he looks at the other Jack. This is awkward for Jack and he looks to the pool of water on the hardwood floors.

His name is posted everywhere on there and he tries to fight back at tear or six. There's the missing factor of his wife and sons.

[theflyboy.livejournal.com]

Jack looked over at the Captain and smiled at him. He looked very touched. Glancing around the room, he could see that this had been a party for Jack. He wasn't sure, but now seeing Jack's expression, he knew that it was a surprise.

"I'm so sorry, Jack. I didn't mean to ruin your party," he says softly. Reaching over, he takes Jack's hand in his, giving it a squeeze. It's then that he looks down at Jack's hand and sees the wedding ring. It was a ring he hadn't been wearing yesterday. Somehow he'd missed it in the helicopter. Slowly, he pulls his hand back. If the man's wife is here, he doesn't want to get Jack in trouble.

"Is there a loo around here? Maybe I can go get toweled off?" His head tilts to the side and he raised a hand, motioning to the party. "You're not as wet as I am. You're still pretty well off." With everything that Jack had said to him on the way over, he thought maybe getting a few minutes alone might clear his head.

[enigmassweet.livejournal.com]

There's the sound of a gigantic helicopter (http://www.controller.com/images/Controller/fullsize/81744021.jpg) coming from over the roof, it's getting closer and closer until it touches down. The big gift has arrived for Jack and his wife makes her way down along with twins.

She steps through the doors wearing a red laced dress (http://www.polyvore.com/new_york_party/set?id=29262779) and the boys are in little tuxedos (http://www.polyvore.com/red_carpet/set?id=28701952). It was a long night and she goes to find Jack among the people that are there.

She smiles at the sight of Jack's friends who are there and she looks at the people mingling. It was to be a surprise but with the man they picked out from the East River that didn't happen. "Glad to see everyone made it tonight." She offers with a smile and she lets Jon nom on the strap of her dress.

[iwasforgiven]

Jack made it, he made it even if he's a bit wet from going to get Jack but there's a smile a large smile on Jack's face. It was exactly how it should be and he glances at the efforts everyone made.

The pizzas the smell of normal food and then even more important his friends. He loudly clears his throat to try to get everyone's attention. "I'm glad that everyone was able to come." Sure it was to be a coordinated surprise party but Jack's still surprised as he stands there with David in his arms. "I know everyone was looking forward to jumping out and yelling surprise, but believe me I am really surprised to see everyone here."

He gives his best attempt at a speech for one of these things, he's gotten good at those or he always was. "It's been a year come Sunday since the universe began to bring everyone here. It's a bit of an irony that I picked Friday as a day to celebrate my birth. Trust me, I don't exactly remember my actual birth date."

He shifts a bit to fix David's position and he continues with his little speech. "I'm hoping for another great year with a room full of my friends that are here today and many more than will come. It's not the gifts that everyone has brought for me that matters but it's the people came here."
