Lila had basically commandeered Astrid's birthday months ago, all but demanding that Astrid let her plan her party while... it was still Faye's birthday. By the time she is done decorating, it looks like Pintrest collided with Queen Regina and puked black and white Halloween drama all over the room. Glittery skulls, blood red candy apples, candles flickering in black lacquered candelabras. Is that raven real? Probably. Is that skeleton real?

Maybe. Y'all don't know what tricks this girl can do. Maybe Slenderman will show up.

The lights are dim and there is an entire table stacked with cupcakes and cookies and other assorted nibbles and hor d'oeuvres, shoved up against the bar where bottles of every kind of alcohol imaginable are just spread out willy nilly amongst mixers and juices. Bet your ass there is Fireball around. There's soda and punch for the teetotalers, but with far less variety than the liquor. There are even party favor bags for the end of the night stuffed with nips of peach schnapps, Jagermeister, and cranberry juice (the recipe for a red headed slut) and various jewels and baubles, plastic Starbucks cups, hella neon nail polish. And condoms. They are all jammed with condoms.

Invitations aren't sent so much as Lila and Astrid invite every single person they know and don't loathe. Costumes are a requirement, but presents are just highly encouraged. But it's Astrid's birthday, okay? Presents are a must.

And no one is allowed to dress like Jessica Rabbit on pain of... well, pain.

[astrid swans over to sebastian eventually. the crow isn't as exciting as beetlejuice ok!! but she is trying to be a good hostess, and she remembers him as —] Hey, I saved your life on Andres, right?

[opprobrium]

Yeah, you did. [ he snapped as he remembered it.] At least I have a face for the name now. Nice outfit.

[ Yeah, hes checking her out and not even trying to hide it.]

[pathology]

[she doesn't even care. she even does a little spin so he can check her out from behind, too. #shameless] Danke. I worked really hard on it. Halloween is very important to me. I mean, like, it's practically my birthday.

[opprobrium]

[ Oh yes, yes he certainly does give that very a very appreciative look. And a low wolf whistle.]

Hot damn, you've gotta be the hottest babe here. Only fitting since your the birthday girl. Halloweens kind of new to me, but it seems alright. Fun enough now. How about a drink?

[pathology]

I would love one. [grin] Halloween's new to you? Are you from the other side of the Veil, or ...?

[opprobrium]

Yep. [ And just to be the dick he is, he winked.] One of the rare bastards that remembers the other side. So all this stuff's new to me babe, name your poison, I'll go fetch it for the birthday girl.

[pathology]

Hm ... champagne! Danke. If you have any questions about this side, just let me know.

[opprobrium]

But of course. [ He winked, before laughing a bit.] I've been here about a year, I've figured a bit of it out, but, if I need it I'll take you up on it.

One second, let me get that drink. [ And off he goes~]

[pathology]

You're fine. [she'll just wait. and try to watch his ass as he walks away. whoopsie.]

[opprobrium]

[ Sorry, he wears a trenchcoat literally everywhere, No sign of the fine body under from behind.

He does return quickly holding the glass out to her.]

A drink for milady. [ He's playing it up on purpose.]

[pathology]

[I SAID TRY OK. which might be why she's still sulking a little when he comes back. but she's quick to snap out of it.] Milady? [laugh] Protip: milady is so out. Also avoid fedoras.

[opprobrium]

Noted. [ He had to laugh a little. Leave it to him to say the wrong thing.] Told you I dont know much here.

[pathology]

You're not that bad. Trust me, I've seen way worse.

[opprobrium]

well, that sure makes me feel a bit better.

[ He shrugged some.]

Looks like you got a nice turn out here, you actually know everyone?

[pathology]

Um, most of them? Lila put the party together, so I let her invite her friends, too. I trust her taste.

[opprobrium]

Lila, I've heard her name before.

[ never met her that he can recall, but he might have...]

You wanna go hang out somewhere some time? [ he decided to cut the foreplay and just ask.]

[pathology]

What? Oh, sure. If you ever can't find me, it's a pretty safe bet that I'm usually in the Light wing.

[opprobrium]

Cool.

[ He looked pretty pleased by this.] I'm gonna go out and take a nicotine break, but I'll catch you later Birthday girl.

[pathology]

Auf wiedersehen! Thanks.

[opprobrium]

[ And off he goes.]
