Tamsin's House of Sharp Things And Presently Not Enough Alcohol, Thursday Evening

[fjordicswagger]

For a couple of minutes, Tamsin had contemplated the idea of just opening up Town Hall for the party, but... what would be the point in that? People were fired up on hormones, people wanted to get laid, you needed a space small enough to get 'em close together. So to speak.

Also, this way she got free booze out of the deal, so-- win win.

She'd hung the black sheets back in front of the large store windows (partly to keep the light out, partly so it was slightly less obvious the house was technically a shop she was technically maybe squatting in). She'd tossed a ton of pillows and an old mattress on the floor, since she didn't actually have a sofa, per sé. The rooms upstairs were... well, okay, they were rooms.

And there was a table for incoming booze. With solo cups. Of course.

Perfect. Time for a party. If anyone had seen the posters...

"How's your tolerance level, dear?" Hatter asked her curiously. "If you're able to handle wine until you pass out, you can handle wine and something of mine without ending up puking over a toilet. Just don't get too eager and dump too much in your wine. I don't want anyone going into some fit. A few drops and you'll be good. I promise."

"Perfect," Irene said happily. "My tolerance is better than you'd think, given how little I am, but there's no need to overdo it. Just because this looks like a college party doesn't mean I need to act like it is."

Because really. All they needed were some beanbag chairs.

"Pity because I was so looking forward to you leading a cheer of some sort without your shirt on," Hatter joked. "It's been on my 'please let this happen' list all week."

"The night is young, Hatter," Irene said ominously. "I've stripped sober and for less interesting occasions."

She probably wasn't going to strip, no.

"I don't know many cheers, though."

"I'll do the cheers for you, then," he offered, reaching for one of his bottles of wine so he could pop it open and pour himself a glass. "I'm very creative."

"We can fashion you some pom-poms out of what I've brought!" she said, reaching for her bag. "Though it seems like a waste of condoms or whatever."

She glanced around, thoughtful. "This is a shockingly good turnout, actually. I don't know if I've met half these people." Which was, you know. Promising.

"Have you got your eye on anyone in particular?" he asked curiously.

"I did not know we had a hot mayor," Irene answered succinctly. "Or a mayor at all. Did you know we had a mayor?"

"I didn't really pay it much mind but I figured someone had to be running the show," Hatter said, taking a sip of his wine. "That who you want to enjoy tonight, then?"

"I think the odds are in my favor on that one, if I were a betting woman," Irene replied. Especially since they'd explicitly set it up, and all. "But there's plenty to choose from. Got your eye on anyone? I'll wingwoman for you, if you're allowed to play."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

Hatter shrugged and glanced around. "I haven't really looked, to be honest. There's a lot of people here and I'm just so shy and demure and all."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

"Oh yes. So reserved," Irene agreed, rolling her eyes. "It's not like a -- like, you're allowed, right? Not going to get in trouble with anyone?"

He hadn't used the G-word about Alice, but it didn't hurt to check.

"We haven't actually discussed it," Hatter admitted, shrugging. "I really don't want to have a conversation about this island and it's weird machinations."

"Well, then," Irene said, reaching over to steal his hat because it was a crime that she hadn't tried yet. "I won't tattle, promise. Because really, if there's any week you should get a hall pass...."

"I guess we'll see what happens," he told her, shaking his head at her hat stealing ways before taking a long sip of wine. "You never know."
