Welcome to the 1980s Morrow’s invitation! “We Can Dance If We Want To” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjPau5QYtYs Morrow’s invitation! “There was no text in the body of the email. Just a file attachment—an invitation to one of the most exclusive gatherings in the OASIS: Ogden Morrow’s birthday party” (180). OGDEN MORROW’S ‘80S DANCE PARTY IN CELEBRATION OF HIS 73RD BIRTHDAY! TONIGHT—10PM OST AT THE DISTRACTED GLOBE ADMIT ONE

Morrow’s Party- Art3mis & Parzival “The Distracted Globe was a famous zero-gravity dance club on the planet Neonoir in Sector Sixteen” (181). “And then, before I could stop myself, the words just came out: I’m in love with you, Arty” (186). “She didn’t respond at first. She just looked at me in shock as our avatars continued to drift in orbit….You aren’t in love with me, Z….You don’t even know me…You only know what I want you to know. You only see what I want you to see…This isn’t my real body, Wade. OR my real face…Trust me. If I ever let you see me in person, you would be repulsed” (186)

Sixers at Morrow’s Party The Sixers invade the party! See page 187 “Total chaos broke out. Half of the avatars in the club swarmed toward the exit, while the other half drew weapons or began to cast spells, firing laser bolts, bullets, and fireballs back at the invading Sixers. There were more than a hundred of them, all armed to the teeth” (187). “…why would they be dumb enough to attack a room full of high-level gunters…Then I realized…they were here to kill the two of us” (187).

Morrow Reacts: “Nobody busts into my joint uninvited!” (189). “ I glanced up at the DJ booth just in time to see it crack open as the Great and Powerful Og emerged from within. He looked really, really annoyed” (188). “You jerks think you can crash my birthday party?” he shouted. His avatar was still wearing a mic, so his words blasted over the club’s speaker array, reverberating like the voice of God…He stretched out his arms as he turned to face the onslaught of Sixers…A dozen tines of red lightning erupted from each of Og’s fingertips, branching out in all directions…in a millisecond, every single Sixer in the club was completely vaporized. Their avatars froze and glowed bright red for a few seconds, then simply vanished” (188).
