WHERE || Some empty bar in the castle.
WHEN || October 29, 2014; 8pm [backdated]
HOW || Actionspam

Lila had basically commandeered Astrid's birthday months ago, all but demanding that Astrid let her plan her party while... it was still Faye's birthday. By the time she is done decorating, it looks like Pintrest collided with Queen Regina and puked black and white Halloween drama all over the room. Glittery skulls, blood red candy apples, candles flickering in black lacquered candelabras. Is that raven real? Probably. Is that skeleton real?

Maybe. Y'all don't know what tricks this girl can do. Maybe Slenderman will show up.

The lights are dim and there is an entire table stacked with cupcakes and cookies and other assorted nibbles and hor d'oeuvres, shoved up against the bar where bottles of every kind of alcohol imaginable are just spread out willy nilly amongst mixers and juices. Bet your ass there is Fireball around. There's soda and punch for the teetotalers, but with far less variety than the liquor. There are even party favor bags for the end of the night stuffed with nips of peach schnapps, Jagermeister, and cranberry juice (the recipe for a red headed slut) and various jewels and baubles, plastic Starbucks cups, hella neon nail polish. And condoms. They are all jammed with condoms.

Invitations aren't sent so much as Lila and Astrid invite every single person they know and don't loathe. Costumes are a requirement, but presents are just highly encouraged. But it's Astrid's birthday, okay? Presents are a must.

And no one is allowed to dress like Jessica Rabbit on pain of... well, pain.

I might. [ :) jk astrid would kill him. ]

[ambitionist]

Yeah, let's not. Faye was sweet but that was .... oh, I don't know, quadruple the amount of drama I like to have associated with my sexual entanglements.

[bittersweeter]

Yeeeah, let's put an embargo on fucking my friends from now on.

[ambitionist]

Amen. I need to learn to outsource. [he takes a sip of his drink. mmmm.]

[bittersweeter]

You really do. [ talking about sex with alex, as per usual. ] Been back to Andres lately?

[ambitionist]

Not since I got pulled out for Belgium. Why?

[bittersweeter]

Curiosity. That place weirds me out.

[ambitionist]

Yeah, the whole apartheid thing was a little much for me, too.

[bittersweeter]

Thank you! [ said as if no one has agreed with her thus far, which may or may not be true. ] I know I'm supposed to appreciate it because, whatever, the Prince is a knight, but that place is not going to get past the torturous death trap for a very long while. He's just lucky history is written by the winners.

[ambitionist]

Yeahhhh. I spent time with the upper class. Just because the right guy's back on the throne, doesn't mean it's gonna be all hugs and kisses and puppies between them and the Shadowkind. Like, I know the majority of Knights are from the other side of the Veil, but have they ever read a history book? Ever? Is high school just a blank page? And that's not even touching the whole torture prison thing.

[bittersweeter]

Probably haven't. [ she rolls her eyes dismissively. ] I mean, maybe I know better because of how shit is in my world, but we won a battle, not a war. I will genuinely not be surprised if the legislation in Italy starts spreading to the rest of Europe. Only the Pyrenees and some water is separating the bastion of good and light that is Andres from Intolerance R' Us.

[ambitionist]

This is some depressing fuckin' birthday talk.

[bittersweeter]

It's probably all the skulls. Maybe next time I'll throw a party in the catacombs in Paris.

[ambitionist]

I feel like that's just asking for some kind of undead invasion.

[bittersweeter]

Well, I could make one happen... [ do not summon ghosts at astrid's party, lillian zacharov. sylar and dean will have a romantic hunter date right in front of you, you don't want that.

maybe after a few more drinks. sry not sry. ]

[ambitionist]

[he stares at her like child. CHILD.] Let's not.

[bittersweeter]

Boo, you whore.

[ambitionist]

Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm a fugly skank because I won't let you traumatize people. Whatever. [mmm drinking more jager]

[bittersweeter]

[ lila looks a little askance at him, because lmao she's only picked up that phrase via osmosis because MEAN GIRLS CAME OUT WHEN SHE WAS EIGHT. bless. but she's stopped being surprised by his movie references. ~sisters. ]

Skeletons would fit the theme, okay. For the record.

[ambitionist]

[eyeroll, followed by a very dismissive:] You kids and Halloween.

[bittersweeter]

Astrid loves it. [ s h r u g. ]

[ambitionist]

Yeah? I never would have guessed, with the whole party theme and all.

[bittersweeter]

You don't need to stay if you're so against it.

[ambitionist]

I'm not against it, I'm just giving you a hard time.

[bittersweeter]

As per usual.

[ it's their thing. ]
