This isn't exactly a squiring after party. Lila's never been to a knighting (and the odds are not in her favor) but she doubts this party is much like it either. The invitation comes in the form of a mass text message sent the day before -- she doesn't care who gets it, its not as if Wynn is going to come to her party. A date, a time, a location, and the rules. She doesn't give a reason.

The rules are simple: dress up classy, don't bring a gift, and wear a mask. It's a masquerade, after all, a mask is a prerequisite. Lila is even so kind as to provide them, a porcelain bowl perched on a chair by the door holds an array; running the gamut from Phantom of the Opera white to classic Venetian blue and gold to Dia de los Muertos red and black. Anyone without a mask is subject to Lila's wrath.

The room is entirely lit by tea lights floating in small glass bowls, leaving long shadows across the walls, and strings of red fairy lights draped across doorways and windows. Music is playing somewhere, loud and dark, forcing you to press up against the person you're talking to. A table shoved against the wall is covered with bottles of fancy champagne, wine, expensive vodka and, the odd man out, pink lemonade. She and Faye might have gone a tad overboard with the alcohol. Blue plastic cups sit in a tottering pile off to the side, a jumble of colorful paper umbrellas dotting the free space on the desk. Another table holds a towering monstrosity of nibbles -- chocolates and tiny cream puffs, miniature Madeline cookies and delicate eclairs. Nothing to fill up on if you're worried about drinking on an empty stomach. Not her problem, she is obviously catering to the younger crowd here. Namely herself.

Lila is around, face half hidden by a simple lacy black mask. Her one blue eye and one green eye would be a dead giveaway if her scar didn't already make it perfectly clear who is behind the mask. She's not playing hostess, she had enough of that back home being Daddy's little darling. This is the first birthday party she has had in almost four years, but even determined to make the most of her experience, she remains at the fringes, drink in hand. The combination of pink lemonade and vodka makes her nostalgic.

Don't worry though, she has her gloves on.

For now.

[Faye rolls her eyes but it's with humor rather than annoyance. Girl, you have a prince on the way and you are making out with random elf boys.

You're her hero, tbh.]


If you two are done with your seven minutes in heaven? I think that vodka's calling my name.

I don't think you tried much of anything...[ that was definite succeeding. ]

Now you're both trying my patience. Can we get drunk now? If he's got to get back to Santa's workshop or something, that's fine too.

I'm not entirely certain what those are, but I get the feeling they involve alcohol. Why not?

[Whatever, Faye is a fabulous bartender and it's your birthday, so you only get away with this today. She grabs a few bottles of booze because ~variety~ is the spice of life, or some shit. There's probably no shot glasses, huh? Oh well they can just pour shots in the bottom of those blue plastic cups.

She grabs three and does just that because whatever, drinking is drinking. A cup is shoved in Aurelius' face before she turns to hand one to Lila (much nicer- also only because its your birthday).]


You're not expecting a toast, right?

Human ale, I imagine? [ he sniffs at the cup skeptically ]

What is this? A frat party? It's vodka. Drink it.
