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) ]

Maggy had been one of the lasts to finally arrive at the event. She never seemed to be able to be at things on time. It was one of her biggest flaws. Her watch was broken, but she just wore it because it was cute. She took a deep breath, moving through the crowd to the bar area. Her hair was pulled back in to a bun, and she wore a grey, short dress. It was something that a friend had let her borrow. She had no money these days, and just decided to mooch off her friends. She expected to see her brother around somewhere, but wasnt looking for him. He would probably flip when he saw her dress. The side were pretty loose, and if she ever bent down, you could see all her goodies. She exhaled, bringing a glass of champagne to her lips. It might be a long night, she thought to herself.

It was only about 10 minutes into her night when the lights went out. She jumped slightly, not exactly expecting it to happen. She closed her eyes, then opened them. She hated when her heart started pounding quickly. She she took a few steps forward, she was bumped in to by someone. She held on to her drink, smiling softly. "Sorry, I can't see to save my life." she said, placing her hand on Bianca's shoulder.

Glancing at the girl, she gave a small smile and nodded. "Storm will pass soon enough." She said, glancing back up at the lights as if they might flicker again. Luckily they seemed to be staying bright enough for now. "Hopefully they have a generator here, just in case the power goes out." She said, giving a reassuring smile. "Not that that'll happen." She said, glancing back over her shoulder. It was her nature as a doctor to reassure people of the best.

"And at least we have a fully stocked bar to keep us happy until the storm passes." She said, raising her glass a bit before she took a small sip from it.

Maggy nodded, smiling as she took another sip of her drink. She was glad when the lights began to flicker back on again. She wasnt exactly afraid on the dark, just not excited to be in a cramped area in the dark. She smiled, glancing at Bianca. "Exactly. As long as the bar is good, and there are a few snacks here and there, I'm fine." she said with a slight laugh. She extended her hand out to the woman. "Maggy Conrad." she said softly.

She was never uncomfortable with strangers. She was very friendly, even in a huge crowd like this. She would be the girl that had too many drinks, and would dance on the bar. She was going to restrain herself tonight, being as her brother was lurking around somewhere.

"Yep, that's all it takes to keep me content." She agreed, giving the other young woman a singular nod before she sipped at her drink again. Glancing down at the hand extended to her, she shifted her glass to the other hand and took Maggy's hand in greeting. "Bianca Kensington." She said, giving her a polite smile before dropping her hand.

Glancing around the room, she then turned her attention back to Maggy. "Enjoying yourself so far? Save for the storm, obviously."

Maggy smiled, shaking her hand back. "Nice to meet you." she was a cute girl, and didnt seem to be like the people she had met lately. Since starting school again at harvard, shes had a hard time fitting in. But tonight was a night to dress up, and be like anyone else. She smiled.

"Yeah, I am. Its been fun so far, and this storm could turn on being fun too." she laughed softly. She hoped there would be no crazy drama. From what she heard about these kinds of events, people tended to go a little nuts. Italians, cops, and Irish in one room? Could start something bad. "I just hope the bar keeps going.." she said with a laugh, taking a sip of her drink.
