open-ish / it's never too late to get down and party

[morns]

🧙 WHO: Kate & her adult CR (and anyone they might want to invite!) / people who work at the Roost?
⚔️️ WHAT: It's Kate's birthday and she wants to make the most of it, so the obvious solution is to rent out the Phoenix Roost for a night of getting drunk.
🕒 WHEN: 15th August
🗺️ WHERE: Phoenix Roost
⚠️ WARNINGS: Probably excessive alcohol consumption, hopefully some sinning.


( have you met Kate? are you over the age of eighteen? then, at the beginning of the month, you'll receive the following text; )

Party. 15th. 9pm. Phoenix Roost. Wear what you want. Bring who you want.

( yeah, that's about all the details you're getting. so why not grab a friend, a significant other, or your worst enemy, and find out what's going on?

the Phoenix Roost is as it ever is, except for the fact that the only people there have heard about this party in one way or another. there's nothing to suggest that this party is for reasons other than Kate simply wanting to host one, but if you're here, you might know her well enough to guess that to be untrue.

but, hey, does that matter? there's alcohol flowing freely and music playing, so grab a drink, talk to a stranger, make bad choices! just try to avoid murder for a night, thank you. )

( ooc; I might be busy on the 15th, so I've thrown this up now! It's a mingle log, you know how this works. Post your own top levels, warn for anything that needs warning, be good to each other. If you're not sure whether your character would be invited, just poke me at exits / exits#8071 and we can chat! )

I HATE IT WHEN THEYRE CUTE 😤

[Rei opts not to comment on Kate's self-defense beyond a chuckle, flicking the ashes from his cigarette into the tray with a practiced hand.]

January.

[Saburo's has to come and go first, in December, his brain reminds him.]

The twenty third.

[And Jiro's is after that, in February. And you just missed Ichiro's last month. And--]

What, you gonna surprise me with something?

Sounds like a challenge 🙃

( if she were sober, she still probably wouldn't notice anything was off, honestly. she throws back some more of the drink (the morning is going to suck, but isn't that part of the point of nights like this?) and snorts at that question.

is she even going to remember the date when she wakes up? who knows. )

I'm shit at gifts.

( not entirely untrue. she's shit at gifts when the day is fixed, when there's the pressure to find something good. it's easier to just find a good bottle of booze and call it done.

but there are times, days that have no other meaning, when something catches her eye and screams that it would be perfect for someone.

in those moments, she can be pretty good. )

S'pose I could treat you to a drink.

( at least he isn't the type to be against that. )

[He laughs dryly. The buzzing in the back of his mind goes quieter, distracted by the amusement at something that is so very, very Kate.]

Then it's a date.

it's a good job i cleaned my DW inboxes today because i sure didn't get an email about this

( see. she's good at this distraction shit. even when she isn't necessarily trying to be.

there's a brief lapse into silence, a moment where she just drains her drink and hands the bottle to the long suffering bartender before the cat tail she's currently stuck with twitches and she shifts, sliding off her seat and onto her feet.

still impressively coordinated, even after drinking enough tequila to finally understand Red Wine's explanation of Tierran geography. )

You locking up?

( or is he leaving that to the hired help? because it is probably time to let herself out either way. )
