stranded!
Who: Everyone at the Party
What: Black Tie Ball; STORM!
Where: Shangri-La Hotel on an off-coast Island
When: MARCH 10; 9pm
Rating: TBD
Open? to EVERYONE!

Lights flickered twice in the ballroom, causing the band to stop. Without music and the joyful voices filling the room, a roll of thunder could be heard outside along with the rain coming down in sheets against the window. Guests glanced warily at the doors as the wind picked up, howling through the doors in the lobby left open.

So as not to cause alarm, the host of the evening jumped up onto the platform where the band was set up, picking up a microphone to garner everyone's attention.

"Folks! If I could have your attention please. The storm that we'd hoped would roll right past us seems to have decided to stick around. So right now all the launch boats have been docked. Now this isn't to cause any alarm, and we've still got a full bar, and the band is just getting revved up for another set, so eat, drink, be merry, and we'll ride out this storm just fine. Thanks!"

And with that, the band picked up, hoping to play out just another couple of hours until the storm passed.

[ mod-note; I decided to wait a little later than noon (obviously) because the beginning thread was going so well. It is now 4:30 (PST), and this is just the first thread of the night. If you want to wait for the next one, go ahead - the BLACKOUT thread will go up promptly @ 7:30pm (PST) ]

Ryan snickered, shaking his head. "I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that your dad would make an exception to kill me. It could be a good thing, because that element of suspense made things so fucking hot between us," he pointed out, smirking at her. "Or it could be a bad thing because, obviously, your dad would kill me," he snickered, shaking his head at the idea. Tilting his head slightly at her realization that he'd probably end up in jail again, he then shook his head again. "No, no jail again," he said, pretty adament about it. But, with good reason. He planned to never go back there again if he could help it. He glanced down at her hand as she squeezed his leg and he swallowed hard, raising a brow at her.

He snickered at her comments about her tits, and he covered his mouth briefly. "Well then when do I get my private viewing?" he asked, his brow cocking up again. Thinking about her words that she might whip them out if she kept drinking, he stood up and called that waiter with the tray of vodka shots back over. Instead of taking two shots, he took the whole tray. "Thanks, bye," he said, then waved the waiter off. He sat down and gestured to the tray. "Here you go," he smirked.

Pretending to be offended at her statement about them never being able to watch an entire movie, and that it would be a waste of a rental, Ryan scoffed, putting his hand to his chest. "I think we definitely could get all the way through a movie!" he insisted, his eyes playful. "We could at least try," he pointed out, raising a brow at her and snickering. "At least now we wouldn't have to worry about your mom or dad bursting into the room with your hand down my pants," he snickered, his eyes flashing.

He wasn't oblivious to the way she was staring at him, he was just smirking to himself. His arm around her shoulder tightened and he pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Seriously, though, I did miss you. Even though you're a huge brat most of the time," he smiled, the arm that was around her shoulders moving so his hand went through her hair and scratched her scalp gently.

Norah laughed loudly as he waved over the tray of shots, shaking her head. "Jesus. You're such a whore." She took a shot from the tray, taking it quickly and setting it empty back on the silver. "That will be all for now, thank you." She waved the tray off, making him set it down next to them on the stage.

"We could make it through a movie. If we chose something we were actually interested in. Y'know, instead of us convincing my parents that we WANTED to sit through all of Schindler's List, and that we wanted to watch it upstairs because it was quieter and would add to the ambiance and make the movie more meaningful. We are SO going to hell for fucking during that movie, you know that, right?" She shook her head. "And my dad only burst in once, and we were under a blanket." Norah shook her head at the memory. "He knew, since you physically SHOVED me out from under the blanket when he came in. Had you just let me sit there, holding onto your cock until he left, he'd never had known."

Norah smiled warmly and moved into Ryan a little more, looping an arm around his waist. "Good, I'm glad you missed me too. And I am not a brat. Just expecting of what should be." She nuzzled into his hand, hugging him around his waist.

Snickering as she waved the tray away, Ryan set it down next to him and grabbed a shot of his own, downing it and smirking at her as he set the empty shotglass down on the tray again. He glanced over at her and pointed with his free hand. "Hey. I am not a whore!" he insisted, though the smirk on his face gave away the fact that he wasn't mad. He was, in fact, a whore. And he knew it.

Tilting his head to the side as he thought about her statement that they could make it through a movie, Ryan scratched the side of his head. "Maybe now, that we're much older and able to control ourselves better," he agreed, then smirked. "But back then, there was nothing that could have interested me more than having sex with you," he insisted, shaking his head. He was pretty sure that was still the case now, but he'd be a good boy if he had to be. He had self-control, when he wanted to use it. Laughing as she told him that they were going to hell, he shrugged. "Well at least we would go happy," he smirked at her.

Laughing again as she brought up the time he pushed her out of the bed, he covered his mouth. "I couldn't help it! I was nervous, I knew your dad wanted to kill me," he said, scratching the back of his head. "He already hated me, and then catching me in bed with you, under the covers, I thought he would have much preferred it if you were on the floor," he shrugged, laughing still.

"You are a whore of the first order, and you damned well know it." She grinned at him, her hand reaching for his and pushing it out of her face. "I may be Norah the Whore-ah, but you're Ryan the... man... whore-ah." Norah giggled, then shook her head. "That sucked."

She nodded along with his explanation that they were older and more in control of themselves. "But, you have to remember, we haven't sat in a room alone since fate tossed us back together, so I'm not sure that's a sound argument." She smirked knowingly, biting her lip as she looked at Ryan, now thoroughly enjoying the fact that they were stuck here.

"Yes, because Dad was so happy to start turning the handle and suddenly hear a loud thud, then find you all snuggled in my bed, and me rolling on the floor in pain because I landed on my hip. Not suspicious at all." She rolled her eyes and laughed, smacking him lightly in the chest. "Jackass." Norah watched Ryan for a second, reaching up and running her thumb along his jaw.

"Is it weird that none of this is weird?"

He rose a brow and chuckled, smirking at her. "That's a pretty high class of whore," he pointed out, nodding. "Are you sure I'm that high ont he totem pole?" he asked, tilting his head to the side. Laughing at the name she called him, he shook his head. "That was horrible. Never call me that again," he said, snickering still as he took another shot. He needed to cut himself off soon, he knew that.

Contemplating her words about not being in a room alone together, he scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, that's true. I didn't think of that," he said. When they were teenagers, they couldn't be within five yards of each other without having their hands all over each other. Even when they were at school, to a point. They'd be across the room from one another, eye-fucking the shit out of each other. Everyone always assumed it was evil glares, when it wasn't. He didn't know if he could behave himself alone in a room with her again.

He laughed, covering his face again. "I was a teenager, about to get caught with my girlfriend's hand on my cock. I reacted accordingly," he insisted, glancing over at her. He smiled as she called him a jackass and then ran her thumb over his face. At her words, he rolled his lips into his mouth, thinking for a few moments. "No, not really. I think we were just meant to meet again," he pointed out, his own hand reaching up to tuck some hair behind her ear.

"Agreed. It sucked too badly. I'll just call you Prettyboy, since I know how fond of it you are." She held up a hand to shield against any possible playful hits coming her way from the nickname, and laughed. She watched him take another shot, then leaned over him, making a little 'ennnnneh' sound as she leaned, grabbing a shotglass and settling back to her seat. She took it quickly, then realized with the movement that it was probably not the best idea.

She slumped back into Ryan, enjoying being cuddled up to him in the stairs. She watched him quietly as he pushed hair behind her, smirking. "I think you're right. Things were too... I don't know the word for it, but they were it. Just never felt closed when you left, y'know?" She'd always wondered what would happen if they'd come back together, always predicting it'd be a passing hello, and never to speak to each other again.

Norah was glad her expectations were proven wrong.

The wind whipped a little louder outside, and Norah let her gaze drift to the window, snuggling a bit more into Ryan. "I'm kind of glad we're stuck here now." She looked up at him. "The company has gotten considerably better."

Ryan narrowed his eyes as she said she was going to call him Prettyboy, and he shook his head. "No, you won't. That's not allowed," he said, shaking his head. He saw her hold her hand up and smirked, the arm that was around her shoulders moving down to her side to poke it gently, remembering how ticklish she was on her sides and stomach. Granted, it probably wasn't fair to use that as leverage, but he couldn't help it. He knew things about her, and used them to his advantage.

Raising a brow as she slumped against him, he laughed. "You okay there, champ?" he asked, pulling back a little to look at her. "Don't go passing out too soon, that wouldn't be any fun at all," he pointed out, shaking his head. Nodding at her explanation of how things were when he left, he shrugged. "I know, and I'm sorry about that. Just leaving without any kind of a word. I just ... I had to get out of there for awhile. And when I got back, I didn't think you'd have wanted to see me, so I didn't look you up," he explained. "But I did think about you a lot," he admitted.

Nodding, he smirked. "Of course. I'm the best company ever, you should know that," he said, smirking as she snuggled in closer to him. He wanted to find a room where they could be alone, and he knew it wasn't the alcohol in his system thinking that. He was having flashbacks in his mind of him and Norah together, especially since they were talking about it, and he wanted that back.

"It is allowed, Prettyboy. You will learn to love it." She yelped as he tickled her, ending up flailing a little more than she meant to. "You!" Norah went after his sides, then pouted when she remembered he wasn't as ticklish as she was. "Damn you!!!" She poked him in the ribs and settled back down, once again leaning into him.

She nodded when he asked if she was okay, looking a little sheepish. "I'm officially done drinking for now. I'll be falling off these stairs if I drink any more." She listened as he explained about leaving, and Norah nodded. "I understand. And you could've come to me, even just to say hi. I would've been happy to see you. Maybe a little mad at first, but you know I could never stay mad at you for long." She sighed. "But it's all past now. You're here, I'm here. Water. Bridge." She moved her hand in a downward arc. "It's all under it now." Norah brought her her hand back in, trailing it across his chest as her eyes lifted to his. "Nice to know you thought about me, though. I thought about you, too."

Her stomach fluttered a little as she looked at him, then she laughed at his crack. "Yes, you are the best company ever." Smirking, she bit her lower lip a little, unable to keep her eyes off his. Her jaw went a little slack before she caught herself, then she sighed again, settling back into leaning into his shoulder. "Huh." Her eyes roamed the room. "Crowded."

Ryan rose a brow and shook his head. "I don't think I can ever learn to love someone calling me Prettyboy," he said, narrowing his eyes at her. "It's not a nickname that fits me whatsoever, so ... come up with a new one," he said, then nodded. "Because I said so," he added. Laughing as she reacted to his tickling, his laugh increased when she tried to tickle him back and got absolutely no reaction. He had never been ticklish. Not even as a kid. "Damn me?" he asked, then laughed again. "That's a little harsh, just because I'm not ticklish," he smirked.

He laughed as she mentioned that she was done drinking, and rose a brow at her. "You didn't used to be such a lightweight. What happened?" he teased. Listening to her talking about how she couldn't stay mad at him for long, he smiled. "Good to know. I should use that to my advantage or semething," he teased, smirking at her.

Ryan nodded, smirking as she agreed with him. "Duh," he said simply, shrugging. "I've known this for years," he added. He watched as her eyes scanned the crowd and he nodded at her comment. "I was just thinking the same thing," he told her, glancing over at her and smiling. "There are a lot of people here," he nodded.

Norah smirked. "Okay, fine. Senor Sexypants. Does that work for you? I'll get you a sombrero and everything." She grinned at him, giggling quietly. "And yes, damn you. If I'm ticklish, everyone else should be too. It's not fair if I can't get you."

She shook her head and chuckled. "I haven't eaten today, and the food here wasn't anything that appealed to me. So I've been drinking on an empty stomach. It's definitely not the best idea. But it makes for a cheap drunk." She nuzzled his shoulder, and smirked. "Of course you'll use it to your advantage. You're good at that." She poked him gently, then laid her hand back on his thigh.

Norah watched the crowd for a moment, then decided there were too many people. She was enjoying talking to Ryan, and didn't really feel like having to talk over the band, or the clamour of the room. She grabbed his hand and stood from the stairs, swaying a little before she moved. "Let's explore this place." She grinned at him, coaxing him to come with her.

Ryan busted up in laughter as she called him Senor Sexypants. His arm moved away from her shoulders to hold onto his gut as he laughed. "Oh my god, Norah," he laughed again, covering his mouth. "All that's going to succeed in doing is just making me laugh so hard I piss myself," he snickered, shaking his head. He snickered again when she said she'd get him a sombrero and everything. "That's fucking hilarious," he added, smirking. Shaking her head at her statement of it not being fair, Ryan smirked. "Oh, it's perfectly fair. For me, at least," he added, smirking.

Tsking at her as she told him that she was drinking on an empty stomach, he shook his head. "Norah, haven't I taught you anything? You never wanna drink on an empty stomach. It's just gonna be that much less fun later on when you have to puke it all up. Especially with nothing of substance in your stomach. We should find you some bread. Soak that shit up," he smirked. As she laid her hand back on his thigh, he swallowed, closing his eyes momentarily. Her hand being that close to his cock was never a good thing, especially in public like this.

Ryan watched as she stood up and then stood up with her, grabbing ahold of her and attempting to steady her as she swayed when she stood. Her grin was mirrored on his face, and he nodded. "Exploration is a great idea," he said, taking her hand and letting her lead the way out of the room.
