Being friends with someone as spontaneous as Faith can have its perks. She's invited the entire under-30 crowd at the castle to come celebrate her friend Andie's 21st birthday at an exclusive dance club called the Silver Band in downtown London.

The club is swirling with colors, as disco balls reflect silvery light that catches on the large quantities of glitter that cover just about every surface. The main dance floors are made of transparent glass, and the club is multi-storied, so that you can choose to dance higher up and see everyone below under your feet. Below the ground floor is a strange black canopy that seems to reflect odd flickering lights, almost like stars. There's a sort of classic opulence to the decor, and hallways branch off here and there to private rooms out of sight. Floating lights bob around the ceiling, that look almost like crystalline balls, except they're light as bubbles and can pop when touched.

Strangely, there are cobwebs in various areas of the club, mostly out of reach, as if it hasn't had occasion to be cleaned in awhile, but there's no traces of grime or dirt anywhere. Faith has a private room procured off one of the halls for the mini-buffet, because how can it be Andie's birthday without food??

[Brantley came for two reasons, the first one is to congratulates his first mission mate's birthday, and the second is to eat all the foods, drink all the drinks and dance all the moves, of course. And it is common courtesy to do the former first before he does the latter, right?]

Miss Andie, Happy Birthday!

[asap]

Ugh, do I look like a southern belle or something? I told you to cut it out with that "Miss" thing! Just Andie! Or, you know. Sir Andie if you gotta. [She makes a face.] But, uh, thanks.

[fixyourproblem]

[He nods apologetically while smiling a bit.] Sorry, you don't look like a southern belle, but you are indeed beautiful, Andie, so yes, you're a belle. [And he smiles charmingly(charm 17)] Oh yeah, I brought you a present. I don't have time to prepare anything so I hope this is good enough for you. [He reveals a vintage compass made of bronze. Something you would find in a flea market.] In hope, you will never be lost while sailing on the river of life.

[asap]

Cool! I mean I'm really not a sailor type and by the time the compass lines up I'll probably already be like fifty miles off course but um, thought that counts? [She shrugs, though a pang of sadness does hit her. Thoster's a sailor. And she might be totally 100% over him but... well... she can't help having feelings.]

[fixyourproblem]

It's more like a symbolic trinket. No one use compass anymore when we have GPS on our phone, right? I know your pirate boyfriend probably had given you lots of stuffs like this, but hey, it's the thought that count. [Well, no one told Brantley about their breakup, and the last thing he observed from them was sexual tension. So, he puts on an innocent smile as he makes that comment.]

[asap]

[No, Brantley, that was actually just tension. Her expression falls, and she glances around looking for a way to be talking about anything else.] That's... thoughtful. But now I have to go do... a thing.

[You know what always annoyed Thoster? When she'd be far away before he could even blink when there was a confrontation. Superspeed was handy like that.

Besides, she'd seen Faye beckoning, and that seemed like a great way to not think about her break-up.]

[fixyourproblem]

[Brantley looks confused when her expression turns sour. He really has no idea what made her sad.]

Of course. It's your birthday, you can do anything you like, but don't forget to have fun.

[He tries to cheer her up before she leaves.]
