[location: John Everton's House] [OPEN TO ALL!] BLOCK PARTY!!!

[aesthetic_mojo]

The time had come. Charlotte left John in charge of setting up the bar, giving him only the one request that he have a decent selection of beer, and did the work of dialing up the food. She knew she was going way over board. For all she knew no one might show up, even though she'd gotten a bit of a response to her invite. How could people resist, though. Food, drink, Dean's music, kittens? Okay, and an ex-vampire, but that wasn't his fault.

Pushing that thought away, she continued laying out the food and the carefully crafted warding spells that would protect it from the kittens. They had been given run of most of the patio, but not the yard, and not the food area. That meant they'd still be popping in and out of people's laps, but at least they wouldn't do it to plates.

When everything was ready, Charlotte ran up to change into skinny jeans, a crisp white button down and a ridiculously shiny pair of cowboy boots. Not unlike Dawn, not that she knew it, Charlotte was having too much fun with the fashion options the replicators afforded. Properly armored for the event, she headed back to the patio to wait for their first guests.





OOC: This is an open event, folks, anyone should feel free to tag in, even if they just discover the party. Start a new thread with a label if you want or just tag in on another thread. Feel free to hop around, too. IT'S A PARTY, PEOPLE! Also, this will go on as long as people are interested, so backtag all ya like. We know people will be in and out all weekend. Have fun, drink all the booze.

Innocent smiles attract John like no body's business. So, of course, he has honed in on Brigitta. "Welcome to the party! Come on in, no one here will bite, I hope." It was a ridiculously weak joke, but he needed to do it.

Brigitta laughs at that, starting to move towards the bar and smirking as she does so, well if somebody invites her to drink a lot of alcohol she can hardly refuse, it would be impolite "well, unless I ask them to of course."

...Yeah, innocent smile, not so innocent mind there.

[lapsedsaint]

"Of course. That's just a unspoken rule. You have to ask." He needed to stop. If Charlie heard him joking about this even a little, she'd slap him silly.

"Come this way, then." He lead her on the most direct route to the makeshift bar. "What would you like?"

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Brigitta chuckles at that and allows him to lead the way, brushing a strand of her hair back and glancing around with interest, she needs people to talk to later after all and she prefers to pick her victims conversation targets out early.

"Hm" she muses, tilting her head slightly "...A beer perhaps?"

[lapsedsaint]

"Beer? Oh, we've got plenty of beer." He grabbed one from one of the barrels and opened it for her. He handed it to her. "I'm taking requests for meat to cook later, anything you're craving?"

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Brigitta takes a swig almost as soon as she gets a hand on the bottle, alcohol is best to be consumed as soon as it gets within her range after all, and the fact that she can actually get drunk here without any risk is a matter of great interest to her and she wishes to try it out.

...I'm sorry for her behaviour, I really am.

"Not really" she smiles as she lowers the bottle, a faintly 'om nom nom' shine coming to her eyes "Though... Any objections to cooking deer?"

Brigitta leans to the carnivorous side of life.

[lapsedsaint]

Her behavior is not an issue at all. "Deer? You get it out of the replicator and I will absolutely cook it. I think my limits are probably going to be pets, so no cat or dog."

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

It might be later, when she does finally get around to trying out the drunken side of life... Which might take a while, unless she decides to sample the Everclear.

"Oh, don't worry, I don't eat them anymore" she's joking, probably "When is all this meat going to be cooked then?"

[lapsedsaint]

He pointed up to the sky. "When the sun starts to go down, then I'll get the grill going. Hopefully I won't poison anyone.

Any side dish requests?"

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

"Hey, if it's any consolation you can't do as bad as I would" Brigitta grins, taking another swig of beer and looking thoughtful at the question "...I dunno, more meat?"

[lapsedsaint]

That set him to laughing. "Meat with a side of meat, washed down with liquor. You got it." He got himself another beer, then looked around. "Well, don't let me keep you from mingling. I might be the most boring guy here."

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

"Sounds good to me!" Brigitta laughs, raising her bottle before taking another gulp... Hopefully people will get a lot more liquor than expected, but you didn't hear her think that, shh "hey, you're the one throwing this party after all, that makes you a little interesting."

[lapsedsaint]

He snorted at that. "This is Charlie's party. I'm just the manservant." He did wink at that, showing her that he was mostly teasing. "It is Charlie's party, though. I am just along for the ride."

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Brigitta chuckles again at the wink and takes another gulp to top it off, by now almost finished with the bottle and beginning to feel a faintly pleasant state of happiness beckoning her from somewhere, though it'll take a lot more than that to get her properly smashed "Well, at least you showed up, you guys engaged or something?"

[lapsedsaint]

He glanced off in the direction that he'd last seen Charlie heading off in. "Engaged? No. We just live together." He managed to leave off the 'in sin' part. It was no joking matter, really.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

"Ah" Brigitta finishes the bottle and smiles slightly, nodding "hey, hardly gonna judge, used to be doing that with a friend, fun times."

Except with a little less romance, perhaps if she hadn't been snatched away... But she never thinks about that, Kirilli was her best friend and there's more to life than constant romance.

[lapsedsaint]

He smiled and nodded again, then reached for another beer. He handed it to her, clearly not planning to take no for an answer. "It's a familiarity thing, you know?"

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Good, because Brigitta would've gotten a little snatchy had another beer been denied her, her plans to get drunk are progressing nicely "Yeah, best to be with somebody you know that you like than being alone."

Anything is better than being alone.

[lapsedsaint]

He nodded. "Wasn't always that way. The woman wanted my head on a platter for a while. Sometimes I think she still might."

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

"Well, it's nice to see things evolve" Brigitta nods thoughtfully, always swigging away "most grudges don't last forever, unless they're serious ones."

[lapsedsaint]

"I've always been convinced that it was just an excuse to get to kiss me." He chuckled, then leaned back with his own drink and watched her for a moment. "Anyone here from your home?"

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Brigitta's expression dips into a faintly wistful moment but then she smiles again, shaking her head slightly, she just has to hope that her son and her best friend will turn up someday, you don't get anywhere if you give up on all hope "not yet, plenty of people with demons but none with Demonata, I'm sure some will show up someday though."

As long as they know about demons and aren't complete wimps she'd be fairly happy with most people.

[lapsedsaint]

"Demonata?" Drinking and party atmosphere aside, this word has got John interested. "What's that?"

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Brigitta smiles slightly, she's always perfectly happy to explain about the Demonata, and then explain why killing all of them is such a priority "well, usually we call them demons, they take their shapes from earth animals and all of them are completely evil, I fight them."

[lapsedsaint]

"So, demons that look like animals? How do you tell them apart from regular animals?"
