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.

I am. But fun and drinking usually go hand in hand.

[she then pulls back, and holds a small wrapped box out to her.]

I'm probably supposed to wait, or you're not supposed to open it here, but I'm impatient and don't like rules so - open it!

[reallywicked]

You don't have to tell me twice. [She dives in to open the present without hesitation.]

[allmydreams]

[Inside the box is a fairly simple looking pendant, but when held up to the light, you could see the flame like colors flickered and faded, almost the way a real fire would. It wouldn't burn to the touch, but it was pretty cool to look at.]

My friend Gus magicked it for me.

[reallywicked]

[Faye's face lights up with glee at the sight of the necklace.]

It's gorgeous... Do you think your friend can teach me how to do that?

[Always wants more magic practice.]

[allmydreams]

I ... have no idea. Maybe?

[Gus isn't exactly the teaching type, but he can be persuaded.]

He's not exactly what I would think of when I think teacher.

[reallywicked]

Most people wouldn't peg Gold as the type either but he's been pretty cool.

[allmydreams]

[She gives a bit of a shrug.]

I'll ask. You might stand a better shot that way.

[Gus ... responds better to Felicity in general.]

[reallywicked]

Awesome. [That's basically two birthday presents for the price of one. Faye is excited.]

[allmydreams]

I can't promise anything, though. Gus isn't exactly known for his tendency to teach.

[reallywicked]

...Your magic friend is named Gus.

[judging that name tbh]

[allmydreams]

Yeah. Gus Harrison. He's a knight.

[Which is probably more than Gus wants her to tell Faye whoops.]

[reallywicked]

[Hold the phone.]

Wait I met a guy named Harrison, I think.

[allmydreams]

[Her eyebrows go up.]

Korean. About yay high.

[Holds up her hands to indicate.]

[reallywicked]

...his name is Gus?!

[allmydreams]

[She nods a bit in agreement.]

Yep. At least as long as I've known him which has been ... a while.
