[ best day of my life -- american authors ]

WHO || All the bitches, tbh. [open]
WHAT || Faye's 18th Birthday, yay!
WHERE || Lost Society Bar, London, England
WHEN || March 28th, 7pm - onwards [forward-dated]
HOW || Actionspam

Formerly a two story barn, the bar Lila rented for Faye's birthday has an Art Deco theme that continues through the building, with each space having been given a contemporary twist. The lavish interiors create a feeling of forgotten decadence. Each room has its own distinct and unique ambience, all complementing one another yet reflecting different moods, depending on the feeling of the moment, flowing through to the secluded garden.

The man at the door has been notified to waive the cover charge for anyone that comes bearing a gift, but if you don't come bearing gifts... don't expect Lila to feel pity for you. You're paying that cover charge yourself, en-fucking-joy, you soulless, non-gifting-bearing bastard. (This was mentioned in the invites she sent out to all the ladies in the castle. It's possible that it's literally all the ladies in the castle as Lila doesn't care whether they're friends with Faye or not. No boys got invites unless they were verbal. The dress code of "fancy but down to fuck" was also on the invitations...)

Tucked in the back is a partitioned off banquet for the VIP party and once inside the ropes, you get a stamp on your hand so the drinks are free for the rest of the night -- and the drink of the night is a Bailey's Comet. Because it's on fire. Drink, enjoy, be merry. Do things. Save room for the cake.

And if anyone is worried about a bunch of drunk knights trying to drive home, Lila rented a handful of rooms at a nearby hotel because when she plans shit, she plans it well.

Anything for her best friend.

[If you thought Felicity was missing this party, you probably don't know her well enough to realize that she didn't have a choice in the matter. That's a lie, Felicity is actually happy to be here and unlike Kate she did bring a gift for Faye, magicked by a magical friend so that she can look like she's wearing an actual flame around her neck.

In case you didn't already know that Faye likes fire, it can be like a warning sign. Or something.

Regardless, she drops off her gift before she starts making the rounds, making notes of new faces and generally being her usual friendly self. Have at her.]

[bittersweeter]

Hey pretty lady. [ LOOK HAPPY SMILING LILA. quelle surprise! she's just hella excited about extended boyfriend time, so she doesn't really care about abandoning him throughout the night. ]

[allmydreams]

[Felicity glances back to her with a grin, before turning to face her more.]

That smile is a good look on you. You'll have to try that more often.

[She gently teases out of love, Lila.]

[bittersweeter]

Oh shut up. [ but she's still grinning so clearly she doesn't care. ]

[allmydreams]

[She grins back at her, before picking up a drink off the bar.]

Anyone interesting so far?

[bittersweeter]

Just me and you and the boyfriend. So nope.

[allmydreams]

Well, personally I think that's all the interesting we need.

[She smirks a bit, before picking up her drink again.]

Still, I love the place. I should come here more often.

[bittersweeter]

Isn't it cute? The hotel we stay at is down the street and I noticed it coming home one night. They have live bands and stuff, I guess.

[allmydreams]

[she nods a bit.]

I'll have to swing by and check it out. Everyone could use a night out every once in a while.

[bittersweeter]

[ lila basically preens. she did good. she did real good. ] Yeah, it's pretty much the bar scene or museums, there is no in between here.

[allmydreams]

The bar scene is usually much more worthwhile. Not that I don't love a good museum - museums just don't love me.

[As in museum security.]

[bittersweeter]

[ lila does love museums, personally, but she's a huge nerd and usually not stealing from them so. :D ] My gorgeous boyfriend took my to the British Museum for Valentine's Day.

[allmydreams]

Very nice. Good to see that he's into smart people dates.

[nepotism]

[ fred did not even pretend to dress up so it's t-shirt and jeans time for him but luckily he's just... always hot. (disguise 6) someone bumps him as he's sitting at the bar beside felicity and he lets out a pained hiss. as they draw away, he lifts his sleeve enough to reveal the nasty looking bruise there, looking down at it with a frown, before sticking his beer against it. ]

[allmydreams]

[Felicity turns at the sound of the hiss and frowns, tipping her head to the side as she looks over the bruise.]

He didn't hit you that hard, did he?

[Because if someone is swinging around dangerously like that, they need to have a talking to.]

[nepotism]

[ he chuckles at that, glancing down at the bruise again ] This? Naw. This is from a particularly educational training session with Lan.

[allmydreams]

[She frowns for a moment, trying to see if she can recognize the name, but honestly she probably wouldn't recognize him as anything other than Sir Wellington, so that's a no (wisdom 10).]

Looks like he wasn't going easy on you.

[nepotism]

[ a chuckle ] Easy's not really in his vocabulary.

[allmydreams]

Sometimes that's the only way you learn, though - getting thrown right into the deep end with the sharks.

[nepotism]

Lan's a little bit more of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

[allmydreams]

That's not always a bad thing. Helps you think outside the box - or be able to fight against someone with a more ... barbaric fighting style?

[Rely too much on technology - be unable to function when you don't have it. Felicity doesn't really think that's a smart way to play.]

[nepotism]

Not saying it's a bad thing at all. There's a reason he used to be in charge of the Hide, after all.

[allmydreams]

[She pauses as she considers that for a moment.]

Hide is the muscle right?

[nepotism]

That'd be one way to put it.

[allmydreams]

Well, at least you know the title was well earned.
