Gathering: New Year's Eve Gala

The annual Nexus New Year's Eve gala began at 8 in the evening. Too grand to be contained by the lobby or dining hall, the gardens at the front of the hotel were employed, with long strings of white lights forming a twinkling canopy from the front doors all the way to the hedge maze. The weather was temperate and calm, and the night perfectly clear.

Drinks were served at various bars set up throughout the gardens and lobby, with champagne cocktails being the specialty of the night. Wheeling through the crowd was a bartender with golden cart providing warm drinks on the go: Tom and Jerrys, rum punch, negus, and Irish coffee.

Crisply-dressed wait staff wove through the collected guests with an abundance of hors d'oeuvres for all different tastes. The Bistro remained open with a limited selection of items for those who were wanting something more substantial.

Above the front doors was hung a large, gold-rimmed clock counting down the last hours, minutes, and seconds of the current year.

"Oh ho, a big deal party!" Darcy said with a waggle of her brows. "You do look like you were on your way to a big deal party, but I'm happy you wound up here instead. This has to be more fun, right?" She took another long sip of her drink, then gestured about the garden. "I mean, the view. Also, if you're looking for a midnight kiss I challenge you to show me any party with a better selection of babes than we have here."

"A work party," clarified Martha, because she didn't want the other woman to think she was getting an OBE or something. "But yeah, this is definitely far better--less watching my back around the administrators, less politics, a lot more...uh."

She appraised the crowd, which did have a lot of handsome men in it, it was true. "Babes. Or at least babes you can actually snog without dying of embarrassment on every shift for the next six weeks."
