[thisonetime_withellis]

WHO: Hogwarts student body!
TONE: Partaaaay
RATING: Who knows where this might go, let's say NC-17 to be safe
WHEN: April 10th
WHERE: Keith's place in Portsmouth
WHAT: Keith's family is away, so of course he's throwing a crazy party. Everyone is invited. If you don't know him, no problem! If you don't like him.. there's free food, booze and a good time, come anyway! Chances are you won't even see him. Maybe.
STATUS: Ongoing!

[Of course the first thing he's going to do upon finding out his parents are going away for a few days at the end of the holidays is organise a house party. In one of the rare occurrences when what he plans is actually what happens, he even has food and drink and some awesome music, and has already plied the neighbours with a bottle of wine so they'll not call the police when things inevitably get too loud.

Always thinking.

He'd made sure everyone knew what he was doing, do you really want to miss this? Do you want to deal with his face after the holidays if you don't show up..?]

Comments

[marshall_lee]

Never.
[Marshall smiles.] I'm not so bad at it either. I have a lot of down time when I'm at home. I usually play by myself though. I don't like hearing twelve year olds making lame "yo mamma" comments.

[marshall_lee]

Oh it's okay. I have a pretty big collection of games and music. I have shit I haven't even finished yet. I tend to get sucked into one thing for a while and then forget about finishing other games.
[Marshall nods.]
Too bad. I like video games. They're a great way to zone out for a while.

[marshall_lee]

That's usually par for the course for parties.

[Marshall doesn't mind. He's not exactly shy.]

Ha! Bad irony is my favorite kind. I love it when people are so unashamed at loving something so awful.

[marshall_lee]

You have a hashtag? What do you normally post about with it? [And Marshall isn't even being sarcastic either. He's genuinely curious.]
True I suppose. You could always use The Immigrant Song too.

[arrogantalloy]

It's called making an impression. People can actually do that without a loud voice or curled fists, you know.

[Watching him for a moment he starts to follow in time with him, keeping an eye on him for changes.]

[arrogantalloy]

Wouldn't be a big brand if it w-

[He raises an eyebrow and tilts his head a little.]

Pathetic?

[He leans against the counter and looks at her with great contemplation. Okay, it's a mild concentration.]

Well I don't know how much you've drank so I can't really comment on that. But on the whole? Nah, mousy, weird way of talking sometimes, but hey, when you're friends with a guy named after a god you can't really comment on how someone talks. To be fair, I don't think I know anyone here tonight that I'd call pathetic. Well, I could but there wouldn't really be any conviction behind it, kind of saying it just to say it kind of thing.

[Drunk or sober, Tony will always ramble.]

[arrogantalloy]

Well I don't really use it, it's more when people see me in New York, or for some fancy Stark Event is coming up.

[He glances at marshall again.]

You know, that's a good pick there. I'm impressed.

[stubbornskeptic]

[She looks up at him, squinting in an effort to focus on what he's saying.]

So...'mnot?

[arrogantalloy]

[He gestures to her drink, a silent suggestion for her to have more.]

I try not to get involved with pathetic people, so, kind of makes sense that you're not. But I'll bite. Why do you think you are?

[toocoolforthis]

They can be okay, but the alcohol is just boring as shit. It's just "edgy" because we're underage.

[toocoolforthis]

[Okay, no, he can't let this continue without giving her a hug. A quick hug, but a hug nonetheless.]

That's because when I was saying them, I had a crush on you. But just because I was saying them when affected by a potion doesn't mean you're not special. You do mean a lot to me, just not like that.

Sorry.

[toocoolforthis]

There's loving something awful because it's awful, and there's thinking something's good even when it's shit. Some of this crap is on the wrong side of that line.

[thisonetime_withellis]

I know, right?

[Keith is one of those perpetually cheerful people, where you always wonder how they're managing to stay so chipper all the time.]

Hey, maybe I can borrow some shit from you?

[stubbornskeptic]

[She drinks. Focuses on his expensive shoes.]

I only like boys who don't like me. 'n' probably can't.

[stubbornskeptic]

[She leans into him, comfortable despite it all. She's careful to wipe her nose on her own sleeve to avoid snotting all over his front, though.]

'msorry too. I knew I had t'talk to you. Shouldn't've been like this.

'n' I know you're probably-- I mean, Jake...

[She sighs, drops her voice.]

Even if I liked him too. Like him too. I dunno.

Should've been there for you.

[arrogantalloy]

Well, really. That's sounds like you're looking at the wrong kind of guys, right there.

Though if I was you, I wouldn't go with anyone who hits on you tonight, either.

[toocoolforthis]

Yeah, well, Jake's been solidly out of reach since he set eyes on Rose, so we're both magnificently bad at this.

[He shrugs awkwardly into the hug.]

Doubt I'll be much help for this one, but... I can be there for you for this one. If you want.

[stubbornskeptic]

...Have people been hitting on me?

[Is Tony hitting on her?

She looks like she's not sure what to do with that possibility.]

[stubbornskeptic]

Mmf. Yeah.

[She focuses on him as best she can, unsure exactly what he means.]

How? And...for which thingy?

[Dirk not liking her or Jake not liking her?]

[rule_britannia]

[He shrugs one shoulder and leans back against the wall, letting out a huffy little sigh.]

Maybe. Maybe his family just doesn't give a toss. Either way, I can't say I care enough about the presence of alcohol to pass judgement.

[arrogantalloy]

Well I haven't really been paying attention to others around you. So I can't really comment on that one.

But I wouldn't be surprised?

[marshall_lee]

There's always too many cool things put out at once sometimes.

[Totally okay with Marshall. He's usually an upbeat guy himself despite his unlife.]

Sure! I can zip up some mp3 files and send you music over the summer if you want. Game wise I can just send stuff to you.

[marshall_lee]

[Marshall laughs]
Too true.
[He holds up an album from a well known but awful 80's hair band.]
Like this for example? I'm gonna hope someone left this here by mistake.

[marshall_lee]

Ahh..business stuff. Got it.

[He chuckles]

I have my moments.

[stubbornskeptic]

[Blink.







Blink.]

Really? On me?
