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

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.

"It tastes good. Besides, what difference does it make? Not going... going to make me sober any quicker," Billy slurs a little.

"... Water would be nice." He mumbles, looking up at her with a kicked puppy face.

"But it's going to make the hangover worse, the more you drink. Also leads to vomiting. Not exactly what I call the perfect end to a party," Cassie replied.

At his 'kicked puppy face', Cassie nods. "I'll be right back," She said, pushing herself off the wall and walking away.

She returns a few moments later, carrying a couple water bottles. she leans against the wall, then slides down it, sitting beside Billy. the patio is a little cold against the underside of her thighs, and she cursed the short skirt she wore. She handed him one of the bottles, taking the cup of 7up from him and setting it on the other side of her before taking another sip of her grape soda.

Billy mumbles something inaudible in reply and closes his eyes. He really doesn't like being drunk. It feels awkward and he can't think straight.

When she sits down next to him, he takes the bottle eagerly and attempts to uncap it. Which... takes some effort, since his fingers keep slipping. Jesus, that Everclear stuff sucked.

"Stupid-- Dean," he grumbles to himself, finally getting the water open.

And that...really didn't surprise her. She breathed a small chuckle, shaking her head. "Yeah, you gotta watch out for him. He's one of those guys that spike drinks and try to get you to socialize, apparently," Cassie said with a small smile.

"But he's a good guy," Cassie finished, taking another sip of her soda.

"I'm Cassie," she offered. Might as well try this 'social' thing, say that she gave it a little effort.

Mmm, delicious water. That tastes good. Also, he can think just a little more clearly. He glances at Cassie, raising an eyebrow.

"You know the guy?" Pause, drink, continue: "He's a jerk. Just like Hammer, same sort of guy. Stupid."

He's a bit rambly. He can't help it. This is probably the most he's said to anybody at the party except for Charlotte.

"... Billy." He replies, shifting around.

"Yeah, I met him while I was driving around. He's got a pretty awesome car. And he's really not a jerk, he's just getting into the spirit of the party, I guess," Cassie replied. When she's sticking up for someone, that means she likes them, otherwise, she wouldn't give them the time of day.

"You new?" She asked, having not seen him around before. God, thinking of stuff to talk about kinda sucked.
