Summary: New Year's Eve Party
The Story:

[ Previously in the month all residents received an invitation to a formal event: a black tie affair to ring in the New Year. The ballroom and adjacent areas are decked out for the party starting at eight o'clock sharp, meticulously planned and executed, glittering décor to match the no doubt glittering attire as music pours into the halls from the dance floor.

Bars flank each side, service for all manner of alcohol unless a minor requests something, and the primary setting stage features an enormous clock for the countdown. ]




[ Where will you be when the clock strikes midnight? ]

[ For some reason, the use of the word 'knob' is absolutely hilarious. What starts as a giggle turns into laughter so hard that Jane has a hard time breathing. It's probably pent-up everything in combination with the booze, but the tears of laughter soon arrive. When she can finally, a good ten minutes later, breathe again, she wipes at her eyes. ]

A knob. Oh my God, he is. He IS a knob.

[mucked]

I mean it! [ darling, no one's arguing with you. and yet she leans forward and smacks the bar counter all the same -- as though delivering a death blow. ] He isn't just a knob, Jane. He's the knobbiest of knobs.

[ a deep breath, filling her lungs to the burning point, and then peggy seems to lose the plot a little. there's just as much fire in belly as when she'd started.

but: ] It's good to hear you laughing.

[ one step forward; two steps back. ]

[endingpoint]

[ Jane sighs with the smile still on her face, letting go of one more giggle. ]

Thanks for making me laugh. Felt really good. I cry too much.

[mucked]

[ gently -- affectionately -- she reaches out and fusses with one of jane's curls. the moment is over almost as soon as it begins. a tight smile and a shake of her head. ]

Perhaps so. But it's nearly another year, yes? [ peggy nods. ] So you might as well get the tears out before it starts.

[endingpoint]

What if they don't stop? What if it never stops?

[ Because right now it feels like it won't ever stop hurting. ]

[mucked]

They will, my dear. [ a sympathetic grimace. ] Perhaps they won't stop forever -- but they won't always haunt every minute, every second, either.

[ peggy drinks. ]

I promise.

[ and peggy carter doesn't promise lightly. ]

[endingpoint]

[ Jane doesn't take promises very lightly right now, and to place her trust in Peggy now is a lot for her to do. But she's doing it.]

I'm holding you to that.

[mucked]

As well you should. [ a pause. ] Now. Drink up, let's get a bit more water into you, and we'll see if we can't manage another dance.

[ -- and so the evening progresses. ]
