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??

[So after mistakenly assuming that Faith had thrown this party for herself, Adam was pointed in the right direction. It didn't take him long to spot the flash of red she'd mentioned, which led him to the One True Birthday Gurl to rule them all.]

Andie, right? Happy Birthday. [Which felt a little awkward toward someone he'd never met, but then that was why he bothered.] There's a couple free drinks lined up for you at the bar if you're feeling thirsty. [Because it's tacky as fuck not to give some kind of gift--even if you've never met the person you're celebrating in your life.]

[asap]

Whoo! Free drinks! [She seems happy enough at the present, and promptly... vanishes. Pretty much without a trace. Though if Adam looks to the bar, he'll see her snagging one of the drinks. Moments later, she reappears with a glass in her hand.] ...who are you, by the way?

[ex_psionic439]

[Wow, Faith wasn't kidding about Andie being light on her feet. When she pops back in front of him, Adam sort of leans back where he's standing like whoa there, Turbo.]

Adam. Tonight's sort of like my first day, so great timing with the birthday.

[asap]

I totally did that on purpose. You know, 21 years ago when I had... no idea who you were. [She grins.] I'm Andie. Obviously. The birthday girl.

[ex_psionic439]

For someone who was home-schooled in Ireland, your friend Faith sure knows how to throw a party.

[asap]

Yeah, she's like the definition of too cool for school.

[ex_psionic439]

[Wait, what. Please tell him he wasn't just freaking with a high school freshman or something.]

Does she even go to school though?

[asap]

Now? Nah. Don't think so, anyway. She's a knight, we learn tons without the whole formal education thing.

[ex_psionic439]

[Oh, Andie. You're losing points here, gurl.]

So you're basically all homeschooled.

[asap]

Maybe sorta? I went to high school in the states, but it's... really hard finding anything in common with non-knights. And teachers are super SLOW at talking.

[ex_psionic439]

Well, no shit. [You didn't need superspeed to come to the conclusion that most teachers were boring as fuck tbh.] I just think it's kind of weird, I guess. [But then again the military preferred their recruits to be uneducated so ... maybe it wasn't so strange after all.]
