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...

"I have a theory that vodka is the best bet for a party that I don't know how fancy it's gonna be," Abbi explained. She was used to Ilana, and therefore used to her legs being stared at; it barely registered with her. "Wine'll get you some weird looks if it's too fancy. Beer is just disappointing. But vodka's always awesome."

Okay, that explanation was longer than it needed to be. "Hi, I'm Abbi."

"Nothing's disappointing about beer," Tamsin assured her. "I'd have taken beer." Beer was great. But so was vodka. And new people. Right now everything was pretty great, actually.

"I'm Tamsin," she added. "This is my party. You can leave the vodka on the table and dump your coat wherever. Aren't you the new girl?"

"That's me," Abbi said as she shrugged out of her coat and dropped it unceremoniously on the floor. "New and green and at an underground party, so things are going really good for me today." Not sarcasm. She was actually really excited about it. "Are you from here originally?"

"I don't think anyone is from here originally," Tamsin said dryly. "Nah, I came down here from Canada a while back."

And to Canada from Norway a few centuries ago, but la la not getting into that right now. "I wouldn't call this underground, anyway, I mean I made sure everyone knew about it."

"That's cool," Abbi said, nodding. "I've been to Canada a couple times. It's so peaceful, you know? Like the trees and the... mooses..."

Something about the pollen was just making her vomit bad compliments at everyone.

"I'm from New York, so not like that at all."

"I wouldn't know about the moose," Tamsin said, shrugging. "I live in the city. We have those, too. Weird thing."
