five | [Location: Levi's Mansion] | got my boots on, the right amount of leather

New Years Eve.

Levi is ready, decked out in his party suit, and a lot of makeup. He's just finished his preparations, and he's sitting in his living room, waiting patiently for Cordelia to arrive, and then the guests. Of course, the party isn't taking place in his living room. That's much too small for such a large event.

He's having a party in his basement.

His basement is huge, and he's decked it out in lights and such that he's hatched. All of it has a New Years theme, somehow; Levi's good at throwing parties, he knows how to decorate. The room is basically like a nightclub. It's dark, but clear of most beams and supports; there are couches and chairs, and a bar to the far end, stocked with just about every type of alcohol imaginable (as well as a few different types of blood). Here and there, there's potted plants and trees in clumps, as well as a giant throne, surrounded by those plants, further along on the back wall. There's also a large stage towards the middle, with a dancing space out in front of it. And right above the stage is a giant clock, which Levi had set up earlier for the countdown later that night.

As for music, he's got a whole playlist, just waiting to be started. It's a huge mix of things, from pop-y dance music to slow songs for the couples. There's a few setlists, of sorts, pinned to the walls and the bar.

It's about ten minutes before the party arrives, and Levi is waiting impatiently.



[[ooc: Vaguely organized planning post here! If there's a song you suggested and you want it to be played, it will be. Just handwave it. So yes! Have fun. :D

EDIT: Subthread labeled for the countdown to midnight is up! Grab your date and tag there for kissy tiemz. :3]

Angel doesn't need to breathe, but envies the fact that she does. He can make himself appear to be breathing, but it's only a rouse. The air doesn't harm him or benefit him; most of the time, he's 'breathing' as a way of painting an illusion that's more for his own benefit to make himself feel more human and less demon than for those around him.

He smiled into her touch. "Athbhliain faoi mhaise duit," he said, clarifying since he knew she'd ask: "Irish for Happy New Year. I--"

The Slayer's scent and presence as she passed by them (http://community.livejournal.com/taxonomites/219939.html?thread=12046883#t12046883) halted whatever it was Angel was about to say. He turned, watching her as she walked past them, bound for the outside and looked back in the direction from which she'd came, only to be met with a dark look from the young captain.

Oh, crap.

When he'd said he didn't care who'd seen, he didn't-- Dammit.

"I--" He stammered, finally settling on, "Damage control," and stepped away from Cordelia to chase after the retreating Slayer's form.

Cordelia blinked, greatly unsettled by the change in Angel's attitude. She was about to ask what was going on, when she followed his gaze and saw--

Oh god.

Oh god.

She nodded and watched as the vampire followed the Slayer outside. This was-- this wasn't-- oh god. Cordelia couldn't help but feel as though this was her fault, somehow. If only she controlled herself better, if only she kept the kiss chaste and short and--

Hugging herself now, she marched towards the direction of the bar. Cordelia had a feeling she needed to brace herself for whatever's going to happen - and alcohol would surely give her the courage she needed to face it.
