Party on the roof, Dorm roof, Friday night

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River looked up at the sky. Once it got dark enough the stars would be visible. She smiled. That would be decoration enough. The music was already playing and she tooka a few dance steps, then spun around, closing her eyes.

Still, to be a proper party there was a few other things needed, and River had made sure they were there. Buffy had let her borrow the CD-player they used for the cheerleader practice, and Isabel had brought a large collection of CDs. River herself had provided snacks, mainly the kind bought from a shop, and had mixed a non-alcoholic punch.

From somewhere a few bags of glitter had appeared, available for anyone who needed it. River frowned, then shrugged. She placed the chair she had promised Adah next to the stairs, hoping that she would brave the long climb up to the roof, and put a blanket on top of it.

[Up early because I'm in a timezone that makes me want to go to bed before everyone else. Everyone's invited to party and dance. Wait for OCDs! OCDs are up!]

"Wait. Boykissy? I'm confused. Is this like magic glitter, like with the space aliens?" River. Her name was River? "So... she's River? What's your name?"

"Boykissy. When boys kiss boys. It's caused by glitter." Oh, she was so going to the special hell for this. "Yes, she's River, the dark-haired girl. This is her party. I'm not River. Two of us would be too much."

"I'm Anemone."

"But I don't wanna kiss boys!" He was not flailing. Really. "Whaddo I gotta do?" Notflail!

He composed himself. "Jack Burton. Not a boy kisser. In that I kiss boys. I do kiss girls."

"If it's magic boykissy glitter, Jack Burton, then you're doomed." Anemone sighed sadly and shook her head. "To be safe, you may want to stay away from other glittery boys. You never know when it might strike."

"If any come at me, I'm hiding behind you. What happens if I kiss a girl? Or several girls?"

Re: Mingle

"Hiding behind me won't deter someone wanting boykissy. I'm a girl. You'd need to hide behind another boy to distract them. Kissing girls won't help either. They'll probably slap you for trying. Unless you ask first. Then you might get slapped anyway, but at least you were polite about it."

"Well, shoot," he said, backing himself against the wall. "I gotta get this offa me." He shook his head. And ran his fingers through his hair, creating a large glitterdandruff pile.

"That's better." (It wasn't.) "Can I kiss you? You're a girl, right?"

Re: Mingle

"No, it's not. And no, you may not. My boyfriends wouldn't like that." Anemone gave him a perturbed look. "I don't even know you."

"You're dating more than one guy"? he asked, a bit shocked.

"Uh-huh." she twirled one strand of hair as she watched the dancers. "Why? Boys do it all the time. I believe it's called 'playing the field.' Or is that the wrong expression?"

Re: Mingle

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Um. Yeah. We do. But just not with other boys!" He turned to look at the dancers. And ogle a bit. "Save me a dance later? If your dance card's not full?"

Re: Mingle

"So boys can date lots of girls, but girls can't date lots of boys?" she tilted her head at him and smiled crookedly. "My, what a strange person you are. I suppose you can have a dance later, if no boys have carried you away to kiss you."

With that, Anemone walked into the crowd, off to pry Gulliver away from the food table and dance with him.
