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!]

"Thank you, Giles." She smiles up at him (still very short, even in those heels) "I thought I'd make an effort. How're you enjoying the party?"

Regular Giles would probably be looking a lot more uncomfortable at this moment in time, so in a way she's glad to see him relaxed. Of course she still has the Gossip Girl thing on her mind, but she'd rather not discuss it at this very moment. Or ever, really, but she's hoping it was all lies anyway- the part about her was, after all.

Isn't it strange, Giles not standing uncomfortably in the corner, but rather looking relaxed and enjoying himself?

"I'm having a blood fantastic time. There's this bloke named Doyle, don't know if you've met him yet, but he hatched this bottle of whiskey that's so rare you can only get it in Ireland back home. And I danced with you sister earlier." A nostalgic smile crosses his face, followed by a slight frown. "How is it possible that she's all grown up now? I'm not sure I like that."

It is rather, yes!

Buffy nods in confirmation to Giles' not-exactly a question, before elaborating. "Yeah, I just met him actually. Although I knew him from before-- from when I went to L.A to... well, to yell at Angel, actually. Was the whiskey good, with the rareness?"

A very similar smile crosses Buffy's face, though it's bittersweet. Her eyes scan around the room for the little sister in question. "I know. It's crazy. Sometimes I think I'm getting empty nest syndrome, which is... weird, to say the least." A pause, before she gives Giles an amused look. "Was there bribery involved in this dance arrangement or did you go willingly?
