Completion Status: in progress

Eliza had gone simply with some sparkle for her Friday night - the first of two for the weekend, surely - at Carnival. She had counted down the minutes until Cogg & Bell Clockmakers had closed at half six and then gone home to make dinner and get ready for the night out. She wore her bright red hair down in natural waves, and a nude lip.

When she arrived at Carnival Club at half nine, the place was still a little on the slow side, but she liked that. She liked having a better pick of the tables and to be able to get her first few drinks without waiting in the lines that would take over the multiple bars by 11. She smiled as she chose her spot and listened to the DJ ramping up the music as the crowd grew. This was her favorite way to spend a weekend night, especially knowing she had a bedside table full of hangover remedy potions waiting for her and that her cousin Etta and friend Amara would both definitely be joining her tonight.

"I'm trying hard," Etta insisted, "but I look less of a mess doing it." She'd almost said hotter, but she couldn't deny that a couple of them looked attractive, even if she didn't want to interact with them.

"Thank fuck family business means the idea team bonding means the non family staff to a nice dinner," she said. She had zero desire to try and go through what some big company decided was an appropriate teambuilding exercise. Even the folks at the the shop seemed to go in for tea or takeaway rather than whatever that was.

She nodded emphatically. "Shots! No Floo calls in the middle of the night for me," she cheered. "And nothing tomorrow either." They did sometimes have services at weekends if it was the only time a family could do, but it was a rarity unless it was someone of a faith which required rites to be performed as soon as possible.

They continued chatting as they waited to be served, before she eventually caught the eye of the bartender, indicating they were probably next. "Shots please, tequila for her, peach schnapps for me," She knew she'd probably have to spend more for the schnapps, but she'd never quite got the taste for any of the more standard options. She held up one finger and flickered a second up and down, raising an eyebrow at Eliza. She could fill in if they were having one or two.

Eliza couldn't help but roll her eyes - Etta did not need to try too hard. Hard at all. She was stunning and brilliant and Eliza knew she could be totally effortless and still be both of those things. Shaking her head and laughing it off, she replied, "You don't need to and you certainly don't look like that while you're doing it."

"Family businesses are tits," Eliza nodded in agreement, even if she hated her job, she loved the ease and flexibility of working for her Mum, and didn't really have any ambitions to be shooting for anyway.

"Two rounds each, please, on me," she lay down the card connected to her Gringotts account and added, "Start us a tab, please?" She didn't often cover a night out fully, but when Etta got a free night she always felt a bit more free and fanciful, so why not?

"This is just the beginning," she told the bartender with a cheeky wink. He laughed, shook his head, and poured them their shots, waving as he headed down the bar to serve a couple of witches waiting less than patiently. She lifted her first toward her cousin and said, "Cheers! To Free Friday!" They toasted and threw back the alcohol, hoping the night would bring more than the 'prospects' has promised thus far.
