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? ]

Comments

[mucked]

To what end? [ she betrays a leading edge of professional curiosity. ] What, to mask it?

[wildwest]

That likely had somethin' to do with it. And while I was in the position to ask, questionin' their choice of flavoring was the last thing on my mind then.

[ which at the time had been survival and escape. he paid attention to what they were doing, but he was also trying to free himself so he could hightail it the hell out of there. ]

[mucked]

No, yes, of course -- [ her agreement is distracted. for peggy's part, she can't help but feel a swell of curiosity. dispersal techniques, chemical warfare, all of it is just a little too close to being work-related.

she should learn to shake that uptick in interest, however. it does her no favours. even when she's not actively trying to deceive anyone. ]

I trust the plan was thwarted?

[wildwest]

[ perhaps it sounds that way, but at the end of the day, such antics were nothing more than the desperate ploy of a man trying hard to stay within his allotted window to free himself. tainted moonshine was nothing new; the "technique" was simply modified/updated to hide itself in an innocent glass of champagne. ]

More or less. Sacrifices had to be made along the way. [ willa. poor girl was lost before she was ever found. ]

[mucked]

[ there's a noise in the back of her throat. it's not disbelief, not exactly, but it's the sort of thing that might have ramped up to a protest had they been in different circumstances.

or, at the very least, more curiosity. ]

Then I propose the next toast should be to the absence of both gingerbread and peaches.

[wildwest]

[ he'd elaborate, but it's not his tale to tell. wynonna is the keeper of willa earp's tragic tale. he has no right to share her sister's fall from grace with anyone, especially not in this context. ]

Now that, I will happily toast to. To freedom from sweets and the smells that follow.
