006: [Location: Hyperion Hotel] Like the Prom, Only with Legal Alcohol Supply

Party time!

Cordelia, clad in her chosen outfit for the night, made final rounds inside the hotel to make sure everything was perfect. The decorations were subdued and classy - thanks to both Dawn and Fred, and even the garden was opened so that those who wished to step out and inhale the fake Taxon air could do so. There were tons of wine, beer, scotch, vodka - and if Doyle's selections weren't enough, there's a hatch conveniently behind the refreshments table.

The hotel lobby was cleared of all the furniture, so that the mingling and the dancing could take place more comfortably. If people wanted to take a tour of the hotel, they were welcomed to do so save for three rooms: Fred's, Angel's, and Wesley's office. For not-so-obvious-but-quite-sentimental reasons.

[OOC: This party takes place after the Liar Liar glitch took effect. Mingle! Threadjack! Interrupt! Have fun!]

Blink. Okay, it's just Dawn, she's not entirely terrifying like Cordelia is.

"Uh, yeah. She did," Billy answers, shrugging. He didn't really do much, he just basically was her dress up doll for an hour or two. "You... look great."

Dawn can be terrifying! (No. No, she can't.)

"Well, like I said. You look great." She does a little twirl, grinning proudly. "Thank you!"

Billy smiles a little, amused, and shifts around in an embarrassed fashion, shrugging off the compliment. He thinks he looks weird in tuxedos, because it makes him feel like some hokey evil villain instead of a totally awesome one.

"I think she was getting frustrated with me," Billy offers, for once trying to keep the conversation going.

Dawn personally thinks Billy looks... actually, really really cute in the tux. But she won't be sharing this, no sir.

"Well, it was worth it. Dance?" That really wasn't a question, as she's tugging him out onto the floor as they speak. Sorry, Billy. No choice.

So apparently it is going to be a trend, dragging Billy out to dance. He looks somewhat embarrassed, but he goes along with it, with a little sigh.

"Can I say no, or does it make a difference?" Not that he would.

It's a good trend! Also, Dawn loves it when people just do what she tells them to.

She considers that for a moment. "Nope, not really!"

Billy might roll his eyes a little.

"I figured." With a sort of 'let's just get this over with' look, he follows along with her.

Not anything Dawn isn't used to.

"Step on my shoes and I'll turn you into a newt." No, she won't. "So, are you having fun yet?"

[identity profile] needtoruleit.livejournal.com 2009-08-30 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"... A newt?" Billy gets the reference! Nerds unite? "Will I get better?"

And the he shrugs. "Dancing is better than standing against a wall, I guess."

"Only until I build a bridge out of you!" Dawn replies cheerfully, grinning. Nerds for life, everyone.

"..Gee. Thanks." Protip: she's not actually insulted.
