saints and sinners are but we
Who:​ EVERYONE.
What:​ ​Pax throws a rager for St. Patrick's Day.
Where:​ The Last Stop.
When:​ March 17.
Notes: Welcome to another game event thread! The same rules apply as before; please mark where your character can be found in the event location (i.e., by the bar, seated in the lounge, on the dance floor). If possible, please use a time stamp so we can keep track of everyone. If you have a specific person coming into your thread, please mark the thread with their name (i.e., by the bar, 7:30 pm - daniel), otherwise please indicate that you're 'open'. If a thread is already occupied, please talk with the players before jumping in. Any questions, please contact the mods!

The only acquiescence to the theme that had been supplied by the location selected for the latest Pax event was Flogging Molly blaring from the jukebox crammed so close to the bathroom that men and women alike had to slide their asses over its front, glass-encased menu to pee in privacy. The rest of the bar had been left untouched; the money covering every grimey inch a reminder of all the hard work put into the small bar that kept it alive.

Extra liquor was provided by the complex, entirely unnecessary and yet done regardless. Food was likewise on hand, this time the Pax management sending over their particular cook to create a plethora of holiday-themed foods: bite-sized servings of Irish stew on kabobs, shepherd's pie in small cups complete with edible potato spoons, Irish soda bread, chocolate stout cupcakes, and scones just a small sampling of the menu on hand. The bar's owner had provided her own take on the holiday's culinary offerings with gummy shamrocks soaked in vodka.

Staff was left entirely up to the location's owner, though carefully vetted by Pax management. It seemed all was well in hand by the time the first tenants decided to arrive.

Lucas laughed and put an arm out to steady the woman, "hey, don't worry about it, it's to be expected I a bar on St. Paddy's Day," he grinned.

"Lucas, 1003," he greeted, about to put out a hand, but one was holding beer and the other food. He shrugged and popped the last bite in his mouth. "I've been here less than a week, though I already feel super welcome."

"Oh, right! Obed and I need to bring that wine by. Sorry, we've just been so busy." She took her hand back, no harm no foul. "How's unpacking going? Everything make it into your apartment in one piece?"

"Hey not a problem, it's just life right?" He glanced at rhetoric table and picked up a gummy, looking it over. "Ohh it's going good, I got the essentials, though I'm still building furniture and putting away books and such.

"Maybe when I get settled I'll have you guys for dinner. I make a mean lasagna," he grinned. He popped the gummy in his mouth and paused mid-chew, swallowing. "The shamrocks are spiked, just so you know," he said with a laugh.

Isobel glanced at the shamrocks, and then to the ones on her plate. She took a spoon and carefully put them back in the bowl.

"I didn't touch them, but I don't think most people here are sober enough to notice," she said, casting a semi-sly look at Lucas. "And dinner would be great. Though I feel that since you're new, we should be the ones cooking for you. Lasagna sounds nice." She tucked her spoon back onto her plate, and started absentmindedly organizing what she had left. "Did you just go for Ikea stuff? They have some really nice pieces, even if it all kinda looks like tinker toys." She laughed a little at her own joke, shaking her head; her hand moved away from her plate and adjusted her glasses.

He watched her carefully, smiling to himself as she put the gummies back and nodding to her. "I had most of my own stuff from before I moved, though some I bought here. Not IKEA though, I grew out of that in med school," he laughed. He looked at her closely and then leant in a little so that his words wouldn't be overheard. "How far along are you?" he asked, his voice soft and kind.

Isobel paused, a deer in headlights as she openly stared at Lucas.

"I'm sorry, what?" She hadn't told anyone about her pregnancy; even Kate had only gotten the before picture, and she was still trying to figure out how to tell Obed, if she was going to tell him at all.

He smiled again, keeping his voice lowered so others couldn't overhear. "I'm a doctor," he said disarmingly. "You've been avoiding alcohol at a St. Patrick’s Day party, you're looking slightly drawn, a little unsure. I'm guessing it's unexpected." His eyes were kind, warm, on hers.

The fact that he was at least being quiet about it was nice, but she was here to avoid thinking about it at all. Isobel passed her plate between her hands, suddenly more anxious than she'd been all night.

"Please keep that to yourself," she whispered, keeping the conversation close and between them. "I... I'm just trying to have a good time. Maybe, hah," she tried a laugh, which felt half strangled in her throat, "maybe turn the doctor off for one evening?"

He nodded, "not to worry, I would never share medical information with anyone." He was about to let the subject drop, but first leaned in close once more. "Just in case, you can call me any time." Then he stepped back to a more acquaintance-like distance and his voice rose to a normal level. "I recommend those little sheppard pies if you're hungry, though I heard the cupcakes are amazing," he said, pulling one off the pile as he said it.

Her head bobbed, tongue moving over her lips. She hesitantly reached out for one of the pies, as though she were doing what she could to put the uncomfortable situation behind them. Glancing over to a more distant part of the table, she saw Rafe and Alice conversing; Rafe caught her eye, and waved.

"If you'll excuse me," she said to Lucas, grateful for the out. "It was really nice chatting. I'm just going to go say hello." Isobel smiled at Lucas one more time, hesitant in moving away before finally forcing herself to. It always felt rude, but Isobel told herself she had nothing to be sorry for. It was a party, after all, mingling was part of the whole thing.
