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

[directed]

[He settles back into the chair shortly after seeing Freya seated, this time turned to face her. He gives an easy nod in reply to her question, a ghost of a smile crossing his lips.]

Indeed so. There's been a rather pleasant atmosphere created tonight; it's nice to find, given what we normally go through here.

[Better, it's something that's theirs, rather than inflicted upon them by Wonderland.

Of course, there are other reasons, far more personal ones--but those go unspoken.]

What about you?

[deathlessness]

I'm always one to enjoy a good time.

[she raises her glass as she finishes that sentiment.]

Especially one where there's an open bar.

[It's the open bar that's particularly important.]

[directed]

--With that phrasing, one might assume you consider the latter a necessity to obtain the former.

[There's no judgment in his tone; though he's not actively drinking at the moment, certainly Rip has had his share of indulgences during the evening thus far. As he would continue to do, while the hours passed by.

Still. There is one other touch of commentary he can offer up.]

Your mood seems to have improved from the last time we spoke.

[deathlessness]

[She gives a small shrug at the first statement, because the Mikaelsons are quite fond of their booze, but she declines to comment for now. Instead she just focuses on the second part.]

It has. I've had a little more time to ... process things.

[And repair her pendant, which is back to hanging dutifully around her neck.]
