Second Floor Common Room; Thursday Evening [02/13].

It was time for Tisarwat's first party here, and it was long overdue, really, but she felt pretty confident about it. Something about it felt like justEarth-style party rather than a Radchaai one. She was glad she managed to enlist the help of Nina and Sabine, though. Thanks to Nina, the word had definitely gone out, and, thanks to Sabine, the decorations for the party were abstract and classy, only a little suggestive (because pulling off something not suggestive this week would be near impossible!) and on theme (since apparently there was a holiday this weekend?) without being obvious. There were even lights strung up across the ceiling, set off against soft black fabric, to resemble a romantic and starry night sky. Plenty of food and drinks (mostly finger food, unfortunately, much to Tisarwat's chagrin, but, again, Earth-style party), there would be games later, it was really all ready to go!

Almost. Tisarwat had brought with her one final touch, a large bowl that she set on a stand right by the door, filled with gloves of all sizes and colors and styles, and a sign to go along with it that boldly declared: GLOVES OPTIONAL.

Oh, the scandal!

Tisarwat herself, of course, would be wearing gloves, thank you very much (unless, perhaps, a situation arose where she wouldn't be, *ahem*. She was more than delighted to be reaping the benefits of this planet's uncivilized degeneracy, but she was a little less willing to jump into actively participating in it herself. What she was not wearing, though, was her uniform, opting to go for a sleek black sleeveless sut cut in a feminine style.

She triple checked to make sure everything was ready, and it was, so now, she supposed, she just waited for everyone to arrive.

Because you know you want to! Don't listen to that small voice in your head that may be telling you this is a bad idea! Listen to the one in your head that's telling you it is a very, very, very good idea, because pretty people + alcohol + debauchery = niiiice.

Yes, unfortunately, due to the...style of the party, most of the food is of the expected moddable variety and mostly finger foods like chips and pizza and veggie platters.

Tisarwat sort of felt the food was just there to be there, though, since the real star of the food and drink tables would be the alcohol. She had two bottles of very fine arrack from home that she'd been saving for a special occasion like this, and since two bottles of arrack wouldn't last long, she had also gotten Wayne involved and put him in charge of providing plenty of that beer he always brought with him to parties for everything, plus he also had some of that whiskey he always brought with him, too, though there were also sodas and waters for anyone who wouldn't want to go for any of the harder stuff.

And tea. Yes, of course there was tea, and Tisarwat was about to discover that whiskey actually went very well with tea...

And of course there were going to be games, especially as the night went on and everyone got a little bit more in the, errrm, mood. Subthreads below! If you'd like to add your own, too, please feel free to do so!

A true classic ~~and a personal fave~~! Everyone takes turns sharing something they they've never done before, and anyone in the game who has done that thing must take a drink! It's a good way to suss out what sort of secrets your friends might be holding as well as take easy hits on them to get them drunker faster!

The official narrative for this is that someone *cough*Prompto*cough* decided to use 'I've never played spin the bottle' as one of their 'I Never's, thus inspiring the need for that to be immediately fixed, but, come on, there's a bunch of teenagers and alcohol at a party on sex pollen week. It'll probably come up naturally about a billion times.

Two threads for this one: one for sign-ups/number assignments, and one for the actual game.

Number off as you sign up, and that number will be yours for the game!

Take your turn, get yourself to a nice random number generator like this one, and spin that first empty bottle of arrack to see who's the lucky smoocher.

I think I got it all! I personally will be S L O W, but I just can't help trying to milk this week for all it's worth.

NOT DIRTY.

...okay, no, probably dirty.

Tisarwat, 1

Sabine probably would have made it down here even if she hadn't gotten roped into helping with it. It was an incredibly bad idea, but the last time something like this happened it had been kind of a good thing, if you asked her. So she could just show up. See what happened.

Sabine, 2

It was hard to miss Sidon when he entered a room on any given day, but it was probably going to be near impossible to miss an entrance like this. He had been looking forward to this ever since Prompto approached him with the idea and they decided (or, rather, Sidon decided and convinced Prompto, but Sidon himself was certain it had been a joint effort!) to both be Cupid for the party!

"Behold!" said Sidon as he entered, approrpiately dressed (or, rather, barely dressed, although, to be fair, that was more dressed that Sidon usually was) in a very small white skirt with matching sash and a pair of wings, as well as his bow. No arrows, though, as that seemed a bit dangerous. "It is I, Cupid! With my compatriot....Other Cupid! Ready to sling my...invisible arrows of true love to spark romance in the hearts of all I strike down!"

He...may have been enjoying this quite a bit, yes.

"And also, to party! Fantastic! What an absolutely marvelous night it shall be!"

Gods, what Prompto wouldn't give for even an ounce of Sidon's confidence as the two of them came in today, both of them dressed as Cupid, with an all-too-tiny white skirt, a sash across his very bare chest, and wings on his back. He was also practically slathered in gold glitter, and was carrying with him two prop guns painted very pink and sparkly and covered in hearts.

And he was regretting everything and he kind of wanted to just crawl under the snack table and die, but then he'd look up at his Cupid compatriot, who would flash that stupid toothy smile of his and give him a wink, and his knees pretty much turned to jello and he forgot for at least a little bit what he was feeling so embarrassed about.

Stupid. Sexy. Shark prince!!!

Prompto, 3

"She actually got you to do it," Sabine noted, trying very hard to keep her eyes on his face.

Nina, like, honestly wasn't sure who'd done more to talk her into her dress, between Miss Brooke and Astrid but, like, here she was wearing it and feeling like, really, couldn't it be just a little longer...

And yet she knew she looked good in it...

And, wow, the common room had turned out looking quite nice indeed, hadn't it? Or maybe that was just all the hot people in it...

Nina, 4

"Wow." So, yeah. "You went all out."

And Prompto was trying very hard to just not bury that face in his hands. His shoulders sunk in a miserable sort of groan...well, almost a whimper, if he was honest...and looked at Sabine almost pleadingly.

"No," he said, firmly despite the patheticness of his expression right now, "she didn't." He felt that was important to emphasize, for many reasons. He then jerked a glittery thumb toward Sidon. "He did."

He really felt that was his best defense. After all, how could anyone really ever deny Sidon anything? With that lilting voice, that bright smile, all those muscles...

Aaaand now Prompto was failing entirely at not covering his face with one of his hands, a face that he was pretty sure was hot enough right now to burn off the flesh of his palm.

And to think, he used to actually like this week at one point in time.

Janet didn't really make it to the parties much. But it seemed like the thing to do, and at least she could look at pretty people and have drinks she wasn't paying for. Kind of sounded like a win/win.

Janet, 5

Look, everyone was probably thinking somewhere along these lines.

"I've never kissed anyone in this room."

When Astrid told Nina yesterday that she wanted something different, she wasn't kidding. She didn't think she could have wound up with something as far removed from all theh soft, preppy, classic-Hollywood, angora sweater set aesthetic she'd adopted while under Claire Richards' doting designs.

But what surprised her the most as she came into the common room for this party was how confident she felt in all that black lace and fake leather, the sequins and the gold. Like that time she'd died her hair red on a whim. She felt different; she felt transformed. Maybe this whole time, it wasn't a ghost she needed to be, but a chameleon, changing its skin to something else. It wouldn't be the first time, after all; survival was about change, it was about adaptability.

There was still a knot of nervousness in her stomach, though, but she was trying to ignore it, for at least one night, anyway.

Astrid, 6

Well, there was one, right off the bat. Astrid bit her lip a little and tried to avoid glancing toward the person in the room that applied toward as she took a sip from the drink she'd poured out of one of Tisarwat's bottles.

And then seemed to examine it with an interest in placing its particular flavor, which had nothing to do with continuing to avoid eye contact, honest...
