Alex & Valentin
Alex arrived a little before the party was going to start. He found Mickey there with two other people, including the dragon that Alex had some words with over the network but he didn't seem to care much that Alex was there. Some set-up was involved. Alex got new speakers for Christmas from his parents and some other new gear. By the time the party was supposed to be set up, the music was already thrumming loudly and Alex was spinning tracks with a clipboard allowing for requests. There was a notice at the top that said songs could only be requested once and that was it. It wasn't long before names that Alex and Mickey spoke about being requested ended up on the list, but Alex always had a fix for that. Remixing it to make it better, in his opinion, and fit more with the tone of the party.
Once he set up a good portion the playlist, he locked the computer so it would keep going for a good hour or so before he'd need to come back and check to see how things were going again. Until then, he ventured in to enjoy the party itself and soon spotted his friend and came over, jumping on Valentin's back from behind.
"'sup?" he said, holding onto the boy from behind like a monkey, "When'd you get back from Deutschland?" Alex had been busy making preparations for the party's playlist since his return, so he didn't notice when people had come or gone. He'd pretty much locked himself in his room until he was ready to go.
For the party Alex dressed up as someone prepared for an apocalypse, though his hair was spiked up by leaning to the side so it didn't look ridiculous on him. He let go of Valentin and grinned, "Got the amulet on this time—" holding it up for Valentin to see, "—so you gotta let me know what is the best mixture to drink?"
