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...

Eliot shrugged. "Was all out."

It wasn't even a lie. He had a lot of repressing to do this week.

"Ugh," Tamsin said. "Fine, you can come in because you're hot, but don't tell anyone else or they're all going to start skimping."

She was easy, but only this week, all right? Don't get any ideas.

"Scout's honor," Eliot promised, proceeding to get the hand gesture completely wrong. "Didn't even know anyone was livin' over here."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[fjordicswagger]

"Really? Because I've been living here for... depressingly long now," Tamsin said.

'Living', 'squatting', 'toh-may-toe', 'toh-mah-toe'...

Re: Arrive/Mingle

"And you've done so much with the place." It wasn't as if Tamsin was the first woman Eliot had met who went with the 'permanent squatter' look. She was probably the first mayor he'd met who did, though.

"Thanks."

Hey, she'd only had the job for a month or two. Soon she might start pulling enough paychecks so she could make this place look slightly nicer!

... it'd be a while.

"You're the guy from the, what is it, a diner?" she said.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[vdistinctive]

"Luke's, yeah. It's currently a diner." With any luck, it'd stay that way, but Hardison could be pretty insistent when he set his mind to something. "Also been teachin' up at the school this semester."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[fjordicswagger]

Tamsin shrugged. "I don't really keep track of the school's roster," she said. "I tuned out after they started employing ponies."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[vdistinctive]

"Yeah, the hell is up with that? She's, like, some kind of manifested acid flashback or somethin'."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[fjordicswagger]

"Apparently she's from a world full of acid flashback ponies?" Tamsin said. She shrugged. "I don't know, maybe someone banged a Loki again."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[vdistinctive]

"The Norse god? . . . That would actually explain a lot."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[fjordicswagger]

"Yeah," Tamsin said casually, because it was sex pollen week, not 'don't lie your ass off about being Fae' week. "That's what I figure, anyway."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[vdistinctive]

Eliot wouldn't know what the hell "being Fae" meant, anyway. It wasn't on his list yet of things he might eventually have to fight. "She ain't likely to show up, is she?"

He was pretty sure nothing would kill a party like this faster than a hyperactive pink pony in the middle of it.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[fjordicswagger]

Tamsin pulled a face. "I might be horny as hell, but I draw the line at livestock."

Unlike some Loki.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[vdistinctive]

"Good," Eliot said. "Dunno what'd kill a party like this quicker."

Admittedly, that might be just tempting Fandom to find something.
