A thump at the door, the morning mail. You called and told them to unsubscribe you from their mailing list two months ago, but the Ximbo Times seems hellbent on upping their readership. Whatever, it’s their production costs anyways. Might as well see what’s going on in the world.

You open the door and on your front step sits a rolled up stack of the nation’s general going-ons, crammed into a few sheets of dubiously degradable material ready for you to ignore just like every morning. Unlike every morning, though, the headline of this issue catches your eye,

“State Wars Jamboree,” The font was huge, “Antitheocra Set to Celebrate!”

Great, politics. You’d been following the fight as it went along, completing initiatives, rationing copper, all war time things, but it’d been Antitheocra who’d brought the win home. Instead of a tally of those dead on the front lines, though, the text below the title read out, “In a show of peace, winner state set to host an all nation celebration. Story continued on page A6.”

Your hand flies to your phone - seems like everyone else saw the paper too, Xwitter is blowing up. You type out a quick Xeet, ‘yall what r we wearing to the party’, hit send, and by the time you’re to your closet, you’ve got about twelve different replies. It starts a bit of a re-xeet chain, everyone adding on asking what they should wear, and for approximately twenty five minutes you’re Xwitter famous.

In the middle of getting ready, it occurred to you that you should probably check the details of the celebration. Xwitter is no help; your feed is now overrun with dead Tumblr gimmicks and they haven’t figured out the search function yet. Running back to your door, you snatch up the paper off your stoop and flip to page A6, first skimming over the half page ad for glitter diet pills that require a surgeon general’s warning on the package before snapping a picture of the deets.

Antitheocra Manor… That place sounds familiar. Wasn’t there a huge party there like, a few months ago? Rumor is they lease it to local frats for events and have a secret sex dungeon under - that’s not important! What is important is that it's an all-night open bar and they’re validating parking.

Judging Criteria:

Q: There's a lot of diamonds on the line here. How will the winners be decided?

A: Winners will be decided on four categories:

On Theme – This is a post-war party, so I expect to see some party people! Whatever it is you wear, make sure it shows you’re here to celebrate. This can look like a variety of things, such as wearing your state’s colors, streaking across the dancefloor, or just something you can throw down in, so don’t feel boxed into ‘typical’ party wear!

Creativity – There’s a lot of different ways to party, so why look like everyone else? Points will be awarded here based on unique and interesting ways in which the prompt is interpreted.

General Sex Appeal – This does NOT just mean sexy, but rather that your look has that ‘umph’ of a true Ximbo. This category is the combination of overall cohesiveness of the look as well as visual appeal. Basically, this is for if your outfit fucks or not.

Story – While Ximbo technology is quite advanced, I’m almost certain we haven’t figured out teleportation yet. So, you’ll need to tell us how your Ximbo got to the party and what they’re doing there! I encourage you all to build off each other’s stories and interact with other guests, but you’re also welcome to be a wallflower and serve from the sidelines. However you choose to show up and show out, make sure you tell us!

Here's a example of a look and story combination:

—

Katrynah’s affinity for blow and xinfluencers made for an interesting host experience. A dignified figure mingling about as if she was a partygoer herself, it was only jarring if you didn't know a part of her voter base were modern disciples of Dionysus. Before you now stood Clytemnestra… or at least, what the queen would look like as a bimbo. Not easy to make muslin like that look as good as it did on her. It really played into the whole ‘traditional war’ aspects of the competition.

Rumor has it there was a conspiracy around the win. It’d been a swift and unexpected victory, but it wasn’t any of the general’s first war either. Xeen Vouge named Melpomene the, quote, “top girlboss of the war”, before reminding everyone to go vote in the upcoming State Minister election. It’d been a while since anyone had seen the current Minister make a public appearance, so meeting her here may never happen again.
