WHO || All the bitches, tbh. [open]
WHAT || Faye's 18th Birthday, yay!
WHERE || Lost Society Bar, London, England
WHEN || March 28th, 7pm - onwards [forward-dated]
HOW || Actionspam

Formerly a two story barn, the bar Lila rented for Faye's birthday has an Art Deco theme that continues through the building, with each space having been given a contemporary twist. The lavish interiors create a feeling of forgotten decadence. Each room has its own distinct and unique ambience, all complementing one another yet reflecting different moods, depending on the feeling of the moment, flowing through to the secluded garden.

The man at the door has been notified to waive the cover charge for anyone that comes bearing a gift, but if you don't come bearing gifts... don't expect Lila to feel pity for you. You're paying that cover charge yourself, en-fucking-joy, you soulless, non-gifting-bearing bastard. (This was mentioned in the invites she sent out to all the ladies in the castle. It's possible that it's literally all the ladies in the castle as Lila doesn't care whether they're friends with Faye or not. No boys got invites unless they were verbal. The dress code of "fancy but down to fuck" was also on the invitations...)

Tucked in the back is a partitioned off banquet for the VIP party and once inside the ropes, you get a stamp on your hand so the drinks are free for the rest of the night -- and the drink of the night is a Bailey's Comet. Because it's on fire. Drink, enjoy, be merry. Do things. Save room for the cake.

And if anyone is worried about a bunch of drunk knights trying to drive home, Lila rented a handful of rooms at a nearby hotel because when she plans shit, she plans it well.

Anything for her best friend.

[Look at this GQ motherfucker arriving fashionably late (probably because he got lost lbr). Sadly, he isn't arriving naked or from inside of a cake because Lila dropped the ball on that portion of the planning. Sry, gurl.

But he brought a gift! And since Faye reminds him so much of Morrigan, he just bought for her and hoped for the best. It was sort of like re-gifting, but not. Jewelry seemed the obvious choice, so Faye got a leather-bound grimoire that she could use for her spells and shit.

It probably looked like a giftwrapped copy of War and Peace or something sitting on the gift table, but whatever. He's going to venture off in search of the birthday girl, and maybe grab a drink on the way so feel free to intercept a bitch.]

[bittersweeter]

[ ooh, lila loves 19th century russian literature.

no, really, she does. sh never sleeps, there is only so many times you can reread "a brief history of time" before you want some epic tolstoy in your life. or maybe it's just lila. regardless, she is very intrigued by the shape of aedan's present. well done.

and she intercepts by the bar, running a gloved hand down his lapel because she has a touchy-feely problem. even when her boyfriend is in the same room. ] Hey there, starshine.

[ex_noble101]

[It's a lot more appropriate than down the back of his pants. Sylar should be grateful tbh. But Aedan will smile upon seeing a familiar face--and just when he was thinking he should have attempted dragging David along.]

Hello, yourself.

[bittersweeter]

I'm surprised you showed. [ happily surprised but lila has negative faith in people so. kudos for aedan. ] Have you tried the shots yet?

[ex_noble101]

I was hoping to wish Faye a happy birthday before indulging myself.

[The bar just happened to be right in front of him when he started looking for her ok.]

But, assuming that you're offering to join me for a drink, I won't decline.

[bittersweeter]

[ in her bossy way, lila orders two shots from the bartender as she hops up onto a stool, feet kicking back and forth because they don't hit the rungs, even with heels on. ] She's probably in the bathroom.

[ex_noble101]

[I feel like everyone is one of The Littles up in this bitch jfc.

But uh, way to class it up with bathroom talk, gurl. Aedan will just grab his shot when it's placed in front of them and hold it between them like he's about to toast a bitch. Because he is. About to.]

To Faye, then. And the outstanding party you've put together for her.

[bittersweeter]

[ at least she didn't mention the sex in the bathroom part, okay. maybe she's just powdering her nose. who knows. it's a mystery. class is sorely lacking from this place tbh. ]

It is a damn fine party. [ she clinks the glass against his delicately and tosses the shot back like the pride of her russian heritage. ] And Faye is pretty cool too.

[ex_noble101]

[Cheers to that. At least this wasn't like fucking midori right. He is not a fan of your sugared liquor.]

It doesn't surprise me that the two of you are friends.

[Except y'all are both self-proclaimed HBICs. Only a matter of time before shit hits the fan lbr.]

[reallywicked]

[

He'll find Faye on the dance floor, shaking it like a damn professional. Nevermind that the profession is probably stripping. But her dancing seems to only improve when she's drunk (perform dance 21).

Join in, watch, throw singles at her... Whatever you're feeling, baby.]

[ex_noble101]

[Yeah he will just waltz on up and make it rain on a bitch.

Except not really because he probably doesn't even know what making it rain means yet. Instead, he'll lean back and resort to voyeurism from his position near the bar because that particular method of dancing is not something he's all too familiar with at this point.

This wasn't one of Wynn's parties, that was for sure. Still, he can enjoy the view in the meantime. And do another shot (or two, since he'd grabbed one for her) before motioning for two more while he waits because damn gurl.]

[reallywicked]

[She's too into the music to notice him watching (spot 9), so he can just watch her drop it like it's hot. As the song ends and the next one starts up, she slows the movement of her hips and pushes a hand through her hair, glancing around the crowd. She starts off in a random direction, which just happens to lead her towards Aedan. Fancy that.]

[ex_noble101]

[Must be fate tbh because it sure as fuck wasn't Faye's keen observational skills. Aedan will just flash her a smile while holding out one of the glasses he's holding like your drink, my lady.]

You seem to be enjoying yourself.

[reallywicked]

[She takes the drink and gives him a smile full of mischief.]

It's my 18th birthday. What's not to enjoy?

[ex_noble101]

Ah, right. [Like he didn't know wtf.] Happy Birthday.

[reallywicked]

Thanks. You know- we started this tradition where you have to kiss the birthday girl.

[This lie has worked on one person and he was naive as fuck. Time to up her game. Bluff 28]

[ex_noble101]

[Apparently he's too dumb to know that she's entirely full of shit (sense motive 20 total), so good call there. He just smiles like welp. To be honest though, the lie was completely unnecessary if all she wanted was to get her mack on js.]

Well, we wouldn't want to break tradition, now would we?. [Which means she's gettin' one. He reaches between them to stroke his thumb along her jawline as he moves in for the the kill. His hand works its way up the back of her neck, until his fingers are combing into the hair at the base of her scalp.

Here's hoping she had the courtesy to pop a breath mint after her encounter with Alex in the bathroom because Aedan is really laying one on her (dexterity 22).]

[moonheart]

[ a very tipsy 5'2" blonde girl in an absurdly cutesy hat bangs into him literally as she stumbles backwards from the bar laughing so hard that she seems to have forgotten how to breathe. hi. ]

[ex_noble101]

[Luckily for him, this girl is legit tiny thus probably did more harm to herself than anything during their little collision (Fortitude? 21. I am so unsure). He reaches out to keep her from falling though, because apparently she's (forgotten how to exist near people rn (Reflex? 27).]

You alright?

[moonheart]

[ she looks unphased by running into his brick wall self, gripping his arm and laughing further. ] Sorry! It's just... [ another outburst, before she manages to say: ] he set his tie on fire!

[ex_noble101]

[Alright, so maybe that warrants a smile. But he's still a little in the dark over here.]

Is that right?

[moonheart]

In his drink! [ she points to where someone else is just getting their own Comet, to make it clear. ]

[ex_noble101]

Ah, I see. [Yeah, that was actually pretty funny. But then the whole appeal of lighting your drink on fire to begin with was sort of lost on him.] I suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later. [This whole party was like a fire marshal's nightmare tbh.]

[moonheart]

From what I hear, the birthday girl loves fire! So I guess it's only fair.

[ex_noble101]

I don't find that all too surprising, actually. [Probably because he's met Faye.]

Are you a friend of hers? [Because it didn't sound like it js, gurl. Not that he's the party police wtf.]
