party ♔ ding-dong the dick's dead

[recruited]

WHO || Everyone. Everyone come if you're not on a mission.
WHAT || A party to celebrate Dimitris Sarandis sleeping with the fishes.
WHERE || Knights HQ. The fancy ballroom.
WHEN || Mid-March 2016.
HOW || Prose or actionspam welcome.

Cordelia and Steve have gotten together to plan a rather fun party to celebrate Sarandis being taken down. Abbie even managed to grab them a rather awesome band to entertain the guests and everything else was hand picked and decided on by Cordy and Steve. It's not as fancy as a squiring after party, but it's just as fun. The ballroom has been "dressed down" a little to match the relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy yourselves!

Don't worry. Learned that lesson. Since Arthur, I don't punch the good guys in the face unless they're very durable. Like a weeble-wobble.

[recruited]

What's a weeble-wobble?

[ So old. ]

[allaboutme]

We really need to talk about this people constantly shooting at you thing.

[ Steve figures that now is a good time to hold onto her. Which he does. His arms come around her and he holds her against him. ]

I was in the war, Cordelia, that sorta happens. [ He gets it though. Sorta. ] I'm okay. I promise.

[allaboutme]

[ ahahaha what a shitty will save. her hands come up to wrap around his arms, pressing back against him tightly. ] I mean, I get that it's a whole part of the superhero package, making yourself a target and all. Kind of a big red, white, and blue bullseye for the bad guys.

Just promise me you'll be careful.

[ If Steve could just freeze frame this moment and keep it forever he would. He feels happy here. Content. Like he doesn't have to keep trudging out into the trenches just to keep from going crazy.

Most of Steve's moves are instinct. Instinct and observing friends growing up. ]

I promise I'll be careful. [ He kisses the spot behind her ear. ] I'll try to lessen the red, white and blue I wear.

[beatupgrass]

Now you're just makin' it weird.

[allaboutme]

You look good in blue. [ just saying ]

[beatupgrass]

At least we're tryin' to fix that... one genocidal torturin' megalomaniac son of a bitch at a time. [he raises his bottle in a mock toast.]

[watcherjunior]

[ She nods, then stops. Considering. ] At least, not going boom from him again. Hopefully, not ever again.

[highnotes]

They might-- joking and celebration aside, seems like something that might benefit them. There's a lot of power in thorough record-keeping.

[likeababyduck]

[He laughs.]

Hey, having fun is just as important as working hard. The key to a happy life is a healthy mix of both.

[likeababyduck]

[He nods in agreement.]

I will second that. If he's gone, then chances are good that it won't.

[bredinthebone]

[Fortunately, she's not so drunk that she doesn't pick up on what he's saying ... eventually (wisdom 12).]

You mean that night after Andres?

[allmydreams]

It was a six year-old girl, and I wasn't ordered to kill anyone.

[There's a beat.]

But it's a slippery slope from me to Archer, and as far as Archer was concerned, that was the job he was hired to do.

[recruited]

[ Steve's laugh is soft and he shakes his head. ]

So do you, Cordy. [ He gives her a squeeze. ]

[recruited]

I mean the little girl, Felicity. She wasn't hired to do that? Forced? She was there guarding those people and keeping them captive of her own free will?

[allmydreams]

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

[And she will sort through the cards to see what she's got.]

[impetere]

[She nods in agreement.]

Amen to that.

[And she glances over at him.]

Want some company out here?

[They don't have to talk - she's good with contemplative silences, but if he wants to be alone she can do that too.]

[supertardiness]

Oh yeah? Did you come through the Veil too or were you born here?

[supertardiness]

That was part of it, probably. But then when he traveled back in time to destroy me he accidentally got stuck in my timeline and then irony of ironies, he needed me to get back to his own timeline. So he ... created me and trained me and made me trust him which sucked when I found out who he actually was.

[scorekeeper]

You'll tell me if ya get your hands on that if it exists, right?

[ He seemed to perk up more at the idea of seeing what happened.]

[scorekeeper]

[ He nodded and and checked out his own cards.]

[beatupgrass]

You sure you don't wanna get back to your party? [he's not saying no....]

[allaboutme]

As someone whose parents were arrested for tax evasion can tell you, yeah, there really is.
