RP: I wanna be your Friday night sweet ride
Who: Open to all
What: Friday night at the club...
When: Friday night; 03/11/28
Where: Carnival Nightclub
Warnings: TBD - Watch Comment Headers
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.

Laughing along with her cousin, Eliza followed's Etta's leave through the crowd. Once they reached the booths, eh discretely pointed out the man who'd caught her eye - he was older and had a vibe about him that screamed strong masculinity and control and she liked that.

She then led the way away, not wanting to get caught obviously gawking, and headed toward a group of what looked like mid-twenty-something men out for a bachelor party, the man of honor being pranked and shots being practically poured down his throat. Eliza wrinkled her nose.

"Merlin and Godric that man is hot," she groaned when she spotted the man. It took her a couple of seconds longer than it should for her eyes to pull away from him, but she was fairly sure she managed not to make a fool of herself. Talk about wanting to ride people like a broomstick.

Etta saw the way they were headed and her nose wrinkled too. "Eliza there's not looking like a tit in front of important people and there's a mess waiting to happen," she cautioned and started to move around the mass of testosterone masquerading as men. Consent went both ways and she had doubts most of them were going to be doing well for it soon.

She saw a cluster of what looked like slightly older people who were part of an awkward looking outing, several of them looked far too formal. Did workplaces organise club nights? "What is with them?" she asked next to Eliza's ear.

As they walked away Eliza nearly whined, "I know, right?" Why did the gorgeous ones always close themselves off like that?! Right stuck-up wankers, if you asked Elizabeth. What was the point of going to a club and just sitting all secluded and boring all night?

She laughed at Etta's summing up of the bachelor party, "They're trying sooooo hard," she said through her chuckles and rolled her eyes. She was tempted to use the buffoons for some free drinks, but that was probably going to be too much effort when she could just buy her own. She still lived at her Mum's place - just the two of them, like always - and pretty much all of her income was disposable.

"Oh," Eliza turned to look at the group Etta indicated, "Conference outing gone wrong? They look sooooo uncomfortable." She gave a sad shake of her head, she couldn't imagine.

"Ugh, not much in the way of interesting prospects tonight, I think I need shots. You? You're not on call tonight, right? Free Friday?" She turned to head to the nearby bar with thoughts of tequila filling her head.

"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.
