12 [Location: Central/Josef's place] Party Post

[loveawkward]

Entrances had been made. The people of Taxon, some of them at least, had arrived. As the sun was setting and casting the room into shadows, the lights began to come up. Twinkling white lights on the balcony around the pool, mood lighting throughout the room to separate the loft into differing areas for different events. Light music played throughout the main room, though at poolside was a section set aside for dancing as well.

Pausing to overlook the affair, for a moment, Josef felt like he was still back home.

Well, minus the bevy of beautiful women offering up a vein at the snap of his fingers. He was still getting used to that loss, which hurt more keenly than most.

((ooc: Come one, come all. Feel free to set up your own posts or use the starter areas. Josef's place is a massive loft, with three separate rooms including a bedroom with an oversized freezer in it. There is also a rooftop pool area with a wide wall overlooking part of the city.))

Dancing

[loveawkward]

By poolside there was a cleared dance floor. The music came from an electronic source that is likely controlled by the tablet of those that chose to fiddle with it.

Dining

[loveawkward]

In one corner of the room was set up a buffet style dinner. He'd catered it the best he could with the money he had, and the availability in Taxon.

To one side was a cluster of tables and chairs for any that chose to enjoy.

Bar

[loveawkward]

In two of the corners are bars. They're all well alcohol but it was the best that Taxon provided on the money he had left.

There's a spark of light off of sequins whenever Buffy moves, and there's nothing she can really do about it.

It's difficult to stay still with the music that winds its way through the party, and Buffy finds herself usually at the very least tapping a toe to the beat.

There's a glass of sparkling something in one hand, and she's leaning up against the balcony wall watching people move here and about.

[all over the place!]

To keep this short and sweet: a certain former cop with cowboy vibes is in the house - and unusually stylishly dressed, for once.

Have at him.

[also all over the place]

Mick arrives in his usual style - which is in his regular clothes, with his usual quiet, unobtrusive manners--

No, wait, that's something he's taken to since arriving in Taxon.

~*~

Some time during the evening (not too long after arriving, actually), he comes over to greet his friend the way only very old friends do - with a wordless nod.

"So. Man of the hour, huh?"

[location - pool] A LITTLE LATE WHAT.

Long dresses strikingly but, it must be admitted, without a great deal of creativity. The striking quality comes from contrast of light and dark rather than any innovation in the cut or style of the suit he is wearing, which is probably the same one he wore at the last big Taxon get-together: an all-white suit, very Tom Wolfe except no hat.

He sidles in, collects a whiskey from the bar, and then migrates to the pool area to crouch by the edge in his prim white suit and trail fingers through the water. Methodically careful not to get splashed, of course.
