Emily party-planning in the Mocha, OTA MW
Emily invaded a large table from the coffeeshop and spread her things on the table: laptop, cell phone, calendar, coffee mug and a slice of pie. Her birthday was coming up and she had a party to plan, and at the same time she hoped to bump into any Manorite lady who would like to come along.

She wrote down the names of those who had already signed up, and started thinking of a place to go. Perhaps she should contact Gil - the Flamingo had space, it wasn't too loud for a bunch of girls to gossip and giggle together, and there was everything from food to drinks to dancing.

Emily continued brainstorming and keeping an eye out for friends for a long while in the Mocha, getting refills to her coffee mug every now and then.

Jazz looked calm enough when she arrived at the Mocha, but the fact that she was early by some margin was indicative of how uncertain she actually felt.

She looked around, realized Tom and his sister and niece weren't here yet and her first breath in what felt like ten minutes. Still time yet to live.

She got herself a coffee and scanned the Mocha again, this time looking for other faces she recognized - if she had to sit alone while she waited she'd go crazy - and spotted Emily. Smiling, she headed over.

"Hola, chica."

	"Jazz!" Emily looked up with a bright smile and motioned for her to take a seat. "What do you think of the Flamingo Lounge?" she asked right away since she had been just thinking about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Caught momentarily off-guard, Jazz just blinked at her, but after a second or two she managed to put it together. "They're good for dancing. Lot's of space," she replied with a smile, taking a seat. "Your asking for your party right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes - and that's what I thought too. Night clubs are too loud for proper girly bonding, I think," Emily pondered. "So the Flamingo is on the top of the list of potential party places. Do you have any other ideas?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her head tipped thoughtfully. "Hmm, not about where, but I did invite a woman I know last night. Rhiannon Mackenzie? She's a tenant here as well and owns a clothing store in the Square." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh is it the new one? NOIR or something? I've walked past it several times but I've never been inside, but it looks like a fantastic place. That's more than okay, the more the merrier I say!" Emily nodded enthusiastically. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"NOIR, yes!" Jazz beamed. "And, let me tell you chica, it is fantastic." She shifted her legs a little so Emily could see her pumps. "These shoes? Totally from her store." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Goodbye paycheck," Emily sighed knowing her fate as she looked over the table to see the shoes. "Gorgeous. You look great otherwise today too! What's the occasion?" she asked but then waved with her hand urgently. "Oh! Oh! Don't tell me! Tommy's sister!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jazz bit her lip, eyes widening tellingly. "Girl, let me tell you, I am about this close-" she held her hand up, fingers barely even an inch apart "-to freaking out." And she then used her hand to fan herself lightly, looking worried. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I can't blame you," Emily shook her head. "I haven't met her, but judging by how utterly on the edge Thomas has been this week... well, good luck and everything best to you. I have a feeling that right about anyone but the crown princess of Dennmark would need luck on their side to manage with his family without any trouble." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ugh, I don't want to think about it. When I think about I start wondering if maybe running and hiding wouldn't be a good idea." She shook her head. "Distract me please - anything else you're thinking for your party?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So far everything is kinda open. Andy mentioned something about someone possibly being able to give us drunken giggly ladies a lift back to the Manor, but I have to catch her first to confirm that. Otherwise I figured we dress up, share a bottle or three of bubbles, eat something, dance, gossip, and have fun?" Emily suggested and shrugged. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's a good idea though," Jazz nodded. "It's easier to have fun when you know you've got a ride home you can trust." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Andy was on her way home but spotted Emily through the door of the Mocha and detoured with a grin. "Hey," she said. "So when's the birthday then?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ilmatar 2010-02-24 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey! Just the lady I wanted to see!" Emily greeted enthusiastically. "On Saturday!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Saturday," Andy said, "Brilliant. I just wanted to check what time to organise our lift home?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm not sure - at a time when we're all out of gossip and giggles and have had time to eat and drink and dance, but aren't completely crawling drunk yet?" Emily suggested vaguely. "What is this mystery lift anyway?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sean's friend Guy is a cab driver," Andy said. "And the company has these fifteen seater mini-busses." She smiled. "We could book him for a couple of hours, have his cell phone on speed dial." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Really? That would be great! I just talked with Jazz a while ago here and she said it - now we can really let our hair down that we don't have to worry about getting home safely," Emily said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Guy's a sweetie and can be relied on not to take advantage," Andy assured her. "Besides, we'll have safety in numbers. All I need to know is where we'll be. There won't be more than the bus can handle will there?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh no way, even if I have given the permission to girlfriends to bring other girlfriends along, we really won't be that many," Emily said firmly. "I was thinking of ringing up Gil and arranging us good service at the Flamingo. What do you think?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	essayel 2010-02-25 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh ideal," Andy said. "Not too busy and the food's good and we can dance and there's plenty or room to get the lift back. Gil will look after us." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilmatar 2010-02-25 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Exactly what I thought! This is great, everyone's agreeing with me so far so this might actually turn out good," Emily chuckled. "Were you thinking of maybe inviting some more ladies to come with us? Just so I get an idea of the numbers." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I could talk to Cindy Pappadapoulos," Andy said. "She's good for a laugh." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilmatar 2010-02-25 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	"I've never met her but I'd love to," Emily said earnestly. "Ask her to come along! My master plan is to have every one in the party to get to know someone new." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Cool, I'll do that then," Andy promised. She grinned. "It's been a while since we last had a ladies night. About the last one was when I booked an Anne Summers evening. That was wild." (Reply to this) (Parent)
