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!

... Your boyfriend? [ She's like ok not Archer because he got kicked off. Not Spike, based on the way Cordelia was talking about him. Not Mark for sure. Des is married, and everyone else is a woman, so. ] ... Steve?

[allaboutme]

Well, yeah. [ OBVIOUSLY. somehow?? ? ]

[slay]

Yeah, no offense, but you can count on it getting worse before it gets better. This isn't a walk in the park, pull a kitten out of a tree mission, but Wynn's not exactly enlisting the unwilling into it either. If Steve doesn't want to keep helping us—and honestly, after what I saw in the round table room, that's entirely possible—he doesn't have to.

[allaboutme]

Excuse you? Wasn't this one of the only times your little team even came back with a win? Because I'm betting not a coincidence.

[slay]

[ It's a good thing it's so easy not to take whoever this person is seriously, because Buffy just ... tightens her forced smile and lets that one wash off her back. ]

You're misunderstanding me. It's not that I don't think Wynn will invite him back on the team. It's that I don't think Steve does well with the team. He didn't seem to like the way we do things.

[allaboutme]

You mean the part where you had a guy just setting police on fire?

[slay]

Wow. Your brain doesn't even slow down a little before it pushes words out your mouth, does it?

[allaboutme]

So you're saying that didn't happen? [ she folds her arms across her chest, raising her eyebrows like yeah go ahead and deny it ]

[slay]

I'm saying Wynn handled it, and beyond that, it's none of your business.

[allaboutme]

Pretty sure that's everyone's business when any one of us could wind up in the field with someone like that. And it's definitely my business when someone I care about is.

[slay]

Archer's not on the field with anyone anymore. Like I said. Wynn handled it.

[allaboutme]

Well, good. So Steve shouldn't have a reason to leave. He's not a quitter.

[slay]

I thought you didn't want him on this mission?

[ do u even know what u want ? ? ?? ? because at this point buffy is sure it's limited to "being a contrary bitch." ]

[allaboutme]

I said I don't want him gone forever. Ideally, that means you guys actually wrapping things up eventually. But if anyone can help turn things around, I'm sure he's the guy.

He's like, an actual superhero.

[slay]

[ buffy stares into the camera like it's the office. ]

You don't say.

[ oh my god what is it about white boys ? ?? ? ? ? ]

[allaboutme]

I mean, that's the only way anyone could ever pull off the whole Stars and Stripes outfit thing. Come to think of it, Carol kind of does the same thing.

I don't know. If superpowers require you to switch to an all-spandex wardrobe, I think I'd have to give a hard pass, personally.

[slay]

[ She shakes her head. ]

They don't.

[ the point ================> cordy ]

Anyway, congrats on the upward mobility or whatever. I should really mingle though. A party's only as sparkling as its hostess, and there might be important people who showed up.

[slay]

[ good ol' cordy. Buffy cringes at the implicit dig that she's not important, but waves Cordy on. ]

Yeah. Enjoy the party.

[allaboutme]

[ and off she vanishes into the crowd...... ]
