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.

Chris nodded, choosing to take another long pull of his drink and finishing it. He looked back to the bartender and ordered a Veracruzana, heavy on the tequila. Despite the fact that his head was spinning, he didn't feel like he'd had enough to be talking about Daniel's stamina with an ex. Once he had his hands wrapped around the yellowish beverage, his lips wrapped around the straw, he turned back to the conversation.

"I bet I know who else is a screamer," he replied, finally, his hand back on Daniel's hip and sliding under the green shirt to show a brief glimpse of warm, ocherous-colored skin before sliding it around to what Chris could reach of Daniel's backside.

Daniel choked on a very poorly timed sip of whiskey. A dusky flush rose to his cheeks. With hands and information flying about so freely, it was becoming increasingly difficult to keep to his word. He made a mental note to make his next meeting with BB at least as uncomfortable as this conversation was. If he knew this much about her now, he could only guess what Aurora had told BB about him.

He glanced briefly down to where Chris sat. He told himself he was only checking out the drink in the other man's hands, carefully considering his own next indulgence. But his gaze wandered from the bright drink to the line of the straw and lingered overlong on the fullness of his mouth, the way it seemed to always be ready to curl into a stomach-turning smirk. Daniel downed the rest of his whiskey in a single go. Then he cleared his throat, sliding the empty glass across the bar toward the bartender.

"Well I'm glad you and BB are havin' a good time," he said, surprised by his own sincerity. With marked effort he forced his glance back to Aurora. "And your concern over my social life is both appreciated and totally unnecessary. I'm doin' just fine, thank you."

Aurora watched and listened to the communication between them two men, the things that were said verbally and what was said just as loud even without words. There was an odd sort of crawling feeling down her spine that it took her a moment to identify as discomfort at being a third wheel.

For Aurora, who was very much used to turning heads and being the center of attention at such an early age, feeling left out and a little disregarded was not a common feeling (though not unknown) to her. It was one she very much disliked, especially when she was still feeling residual resentment that things were lopsided between her and Daniel. An imbalance she disliked, worse it was one that wasn't there before. Or was it?

"I wouldn't know, would I?" She sniffed at them prudishly before grabbing her drink and sliding off her stool to stride away with the steadiness of someone who was used to huffing off in heels.
