When the cat is away, the mice will play

[clockspinner]

Who: anyone in the student body
Tone: PARTY
Rating: PG-13 for potty mouths
When: During the teachers' trip
Where: Casa Strider (Old Compton Street, Soho, London)
What: Dave invited everyone over to a party while Bro's gone.
Status: Ongoing

Since this was open for anyone to come at any time for any amount of time, I'm going to make separate threads for Monday-Friday and you can start threads or comment on other peoples' threads whenever your character would be there!

The flat is a one-bedroom flat, so almost everyone who comes will either be on the floor in Dirk and Dave's room (or sharing a bed with/sleeping in a bed instead of one of the boys), or else out in the living room/kitchen/Bro's room. Dave doesn't particularly care where you sleep, so long as moaning is kept to a minimum.

People can also go up on the roof to party, accessed by crawling out of the boys' bedroom window and up the fire escape, but I wouldn't suggest sleeping up there unless you want to wake up covered in pigeon shit.

Dave will be manning the turntables, music-wise, or else playing things from his computer. There's also a TV with video game systems, including ones that can play DVDs. He'll also be watching the drinks to make sure no one slips anyone anything. Purebloods will probably be in for some culture shock.

Social obligations are annoying like that. But this is fun! And we got to meet!

Have you been to Diagon Alley yet?

[givesyouaboner]

Definitely! This is totally worth it.

_{[Time to snag another slice of pizza. Can't ever have enough of that, really.]}

Not yet. I guess we'll go something after Uncle Dirk gets back.

[thesmallesttrickster]

You will love it, it is a wonderfully interesting place.

[A combination of pureblood, rich kid, and foreign family makes Loki stare at the pizza]

What kind of food is that?

[givesyouaboner]

Uhh... you mean the pizza? How do you not know pizza? It's delivery.
And technically speaking some sort of variant of Italian cuisine. It's not the same as the pizza there though.

[thesmallesttrickster]

Interesting. I notice there are many kinds here. Which would say is the best.

[He's looking a bit apprehensive]

[givesyouaboner]

Definitely the pepperoni. That's a classic.

[thesmallesttrickster]

And that is this one? [He points to the pepperoni]

[givesyouaboner]

That is the pepperoni, dude.

[thesmallesttrickster]

And I just...pick it up, right?

[givesyouaboner]

Yeah. I mean, if you want to use a knife and fork, by all means. But it's totally a finger food if you want it to be.

[thesmallesttrickster]

[Loki decides to just dive right in. He picks up a slice of pepperoni and takes a bite out of the crust-side.]

This is pretty good.

[givesyouaboner]

_{[Dirk beams.]}

Isn't it?

[thesmallesttrickster]

[Loki quickly finishes that slice and grabs another]

I am so excited to start in the fall!

[He starts eating, crust first again]

[givesyouaboner]

_{[Dirk grabs another slice. He's been periodically eating at random times today.]}

Me too! I hope we have classes together.

[thesmallesttrickster]

We should at some point, seeing as we're int eh same year and all of the houses have classes with each other in some combination at some point during the year.

[This was so tasty! Another slice gone.]

[givesyouaboner]

Do they? Shows you how much I know, I guess.

[thesmallesttrickster]

You should read Hogwarts: A History. It has everything you could need to know about Hogwarts.

[givesyouaboner]

Yes, good idea. Maybe I can borrow Dave's copy.

[thesmallesttrickster]

You should. It will prove most invaluable.

[givesyouaboner]

Yeah. I'll ask after the week's over. It'll be too loud to read anything.
