Thing was, this was actually scaled down a lot from Kennedy's original plans, since her original plans had banked on being in Fandom for this party.
...that begged the question of how insane her original plans must have been, given she'd rented out a Vail nightclub (on short notice, and hadn't that taken some effort). One side of the room was occupied by the open bar (although unless you had really good fake ID, you'd be stuck with soft drinks), there was plenty of space on the dance floor, and the DJ looked a bit bemused by the collection of music he'd been given to work with tonight. There was a decent enough selection of modern rock, which had been Kennedy's contribution to balance out the majority of it: lots of ambiance, New Age-y, Loreena McKennitt-type stuff as provided by Raven.
A couple of servers circulated the room occasionally to replenish the trays of food set up on the tables near the walls, but the real piece de resistance was in the center of the room: a chocolate river. Okay, not a real chocolate river-- but courtesy of Ben and Ender's handiwork, there was a fountain of melted chocolate running down an elaborate trough, plates of fruit and cheese and fondue implements laid out along its "banks." There were ice sculptures on the various tables, too: whimsical little animals, like cats and otters and one unicorn that would probably end up a private source of amusement for four people. (Speaking of sources, Kennedy wasn't telling you what her hookup had been for getting those. Or why they were strangely resistant to melting.)
It wasn't quite as big-scale as she'd been planning on originally, but hey. It had turned out pretty good. Even if it wasn't a surprise; despite any efforts to be sneaky on her part, Kennedy totally failed at subtle anyway. Which wasn't the point; the point was, it was Tara's birthday, and that meant celebrating. So there.
