Tobai will attend the party. He'll be in a lot better shape than the last
time everyone saw him (physically), but he's drowning in the Christmas
blues. He'll randomly meander about, spending the first half of the
evening hitting on every female that moves (and if they try to stay still
to avoid detection, he'll scent them and start to circle. Kinda like a
vulture =). Then after the 98th brush off (I doubt any characters
interested in an aging (he's in the 70-90 realm) decker/programmar will be
around), he will then attempt to cause his new heart to seize by drowning
it in alcohol. Of course, most of his internal organs have undergone some
level of replacement, and the doctors don't want him doing too much damage
to himself, so he'll have quite a difficulte time getting pissed. But he
will manage it eventually... =) If anyone sees his liver trying to escape,
please stop it. I hate running incomplete characters. =)

Zippy can't show up (she's in Europe).
Nameless won't (not his style).
Jen and Gabe will. They will make a very definite impression. Jenna will
be slightly buzzed when they get there (nothing noticable except for a
flush. And the way her eyes move) progressing fairly rapidly to becoming
well buzzed, at which point she will start acting the way she does on
Shadowland. She will flatly deny being drunk, and take it as a personal
insult if anyone mentions it. Gabriel will wander around (doing his best
to ignore his partner) being amiable and attractive (which he is -- which
is actually a plot device. =) carrying with him Killer. Killer is a six
month old black kitten who registers about an 11 on the Sailor Moon Scale
of Cuteness. The cat will be continiously clambering over Gabriel (thusly
popping up it's cuteness level another point =) and doing cute cat things.
Gabriel will use Killer as a conversation point. (PLOT NOTE: Any mages who
take a gander at Jen and Gabe will see that their auras are heavily
masked. Their patterns are very efficiently hidden away. Killer's aura is
also slightly abnormal, but that could easily be explained away as a
genetic defect. The pair are also somewhat similar in appearance:
Attractive blue eyed blondes. =)

Righteous and Dana will prove their intelligence by not showing up.
(Gee, that would be great, a party devolving into a lynch mob. Nice story
effect, bad idea. =)

Those are (to my knowledge) all of my 'runner characters. =)
