[ best day of my life -- american authors ]

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.

Lis... [ he looks torn, and obviously like he has no idea how to deal with any of this. max is so unequipped for relationship shit. ] Look, if you're sure it's what's right for you, of course you should do it. I'm just--

[lastdragomir]

[ an actual, albeit tiny, smile flutters across her expression, surprise. ] Just... going to miss me terribly and pine after me and fall asleep holding my postcards? God, I hope so. [ she reaches out for his hand. teasing is a completely appropriate reaction to being sad. ]

[necessaryevil]

[ he smiles, expression warming, as he squeezes her hand and pulls her closer. ] Do people still even send postcards?

[lastdragomir]

Maybe I'll bring it back in style so you'll have something to hold on to.

[necessaryevil]

I think I'd like that.

[lastdragomir]

Good. [ she smiles softly, shifting forward a bit more. ] Walk me home? [ or share a cab home wtfever. ] Or... Faye's friend said she rented rooms at the hotel so no one would drive drunk.

[necessaryevil]

I didn't realize either of us were-- [ give him a sec ] Oh.

[lastdragomir]

Yes.

[necessaryevil]

Well, uh, I mean--

[ raising an eyebrow ] It's a long ride back to the castle. Might as well.

[lastdragomir]

Yeah, exactly. And we can just go home in the morning. [ and then she can abandon you forever. (unsure) ]

[necessaryevil]

Not a bad idea. [ he offers her an elbow. so gentleman. such chivalrous. ]

[lastdragomir]

[ why thank you good sir. she takes his arm with a shy sort of pleased smile. ] I'm known to have good ones, in fact.

[necessaryevil]

Well,I don't know about that. You are into me of all people.

[lastdragomir]

Excuse you, I happen to have lovely taste.

[necessaryevil]

We'll have to agree to disagree.

[lastdragomir]

Or you could just admit I'm right. [ js. ]

[necessaryevil]

I admitted you were right about going to the hotel. Can't we stick to that one?

[lastdragomir]

[ she bites her lip to hold back a smile. ] For now.

[necessaryevil]

I'll take it.

[lastdragomir]

[ still smiling stupidly, she lets them take the rest of the walk in silence. ]

[necessaryevil]

[ cut to HOTEL ROOM??? max shuts the door behind them, turning to glance around as he drops the keycards on a side table. ] Not bad, I guess.

[lastdragomir]

It's nice. Pretty. [ she crosses the room to look out the window and gasps quietly before she sweeps the curtains open. ] Beautiful view. London looks so pretty at night.

[necessaryevil]

[ he comes up slowly behind her, looking out over her shoulder. ] From up here, maybe. [ he does not sound convinced. but then he'll... turn his attention to her. ] It doesn't quite hold up as well from up close. Unlike some things.

[lastdragomir]

[ oh. max. a blush rushes up her cheeks and she ducks her head, smiling. she turns slightly, hands lifting to curl around the collar of his jacket gently, more to reel him in than keep him there. but she goes slow so he knows what she is doing. so he can prepare himself. and then she's kissing him. ...nat 20 kissing. girl just knows how to say goodbye, tbh. best sort of gf. ]

[necessaryevil]

[ look at his impressive will save ;; against... freaking out. not, fortunately, against wanting to feverishly make out with her face, apparently. and with a 16 check it's pretty hella nice on both sides. his hands slide around her waist as he pulls her closer, and then eventually one hand moves up to slide up her neck and caress her jaw, lingering as he touches her skin. ] Lis...
