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...

"We all need something," Allie grumbled. "Stupid island."

"And you can't even drink to take the edge off," Jack said sympathetically. "Maybe you'll find somebody you like here?"

"The thought has crossed my mind," she admitted. "But at the same time, I feel like that's giving in and letting the island win. And I have better control then that."

So what if it made her cranky.

"I'm surprised your not off visiting Emma."

"I had to come home for the week for school," Jack explained. "I could have gotten a hotel room by campus, but then I would have missed suffering with all of you."

He pursed his lips. "I see what you mean about letting the island win, but I couldn't keep full control like that myself. 'Resists temptation easily' is not my middle name."

"Awww that's so nice of you to be here with us in our suffering," Allie teased. She shrugged a shoulder. "I am still debating if this particular bit of control is worth the fight. There's being stubborn, then there's being stupid."

Jack smiled at her over the rim of his drink. "If you were going to give up control," he asked, "is there anyone in particular you'd want to do it with?"

She had to grin. "There's a short list. One or two of them might even be here tonight."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

"Going to give me any hints who they are?" Jack prompted. "I'm not going to embarrass you. I'm just curious."

"Well, you for one," Allie admitted cheerfully. "But you do have an asterisk next to your name with a note of very scary girlfriend that could possibly kill me and grind my bones to powder. Besides, she sent me flowers for Valentine's Day. So for all intents and purposes, you should be off the list but I'm not blind so there we have it."

"Interesting," Jack said, not sounding put off at all. "I agree that, considering Emma, it wouldn't be a good idea, but I can't say I'm not flattered."

More than flattered, really, but he knew Allie well enough to know this would mean more than a one-night fling, and he wasn't sure he was up for that.

During this particular week, Allie was more then willing to believe in the benefits of the fling. When the island was making you crazy, you just needed to scratch that metaphorical itch.

"Yes, I'm here for your ego stroking purposes only." She paused, considered her words, and laughed. "That came out sounding a little dirtier then what I intended."
