When it came to a good party, Alex was all business. She'd arrived that afternoon loaded down with various supplies, most notably a case full of make up, a bag full of clothes and a bottle of tequila. For two hours she and Clem had drank and dressed each other up, though Alex was a much more willing participant in the latter than Clem was. After she'd finally gotten Clem into a dress and made her stay in it, she squeezed herself into her favorite red number and the party really began.

As expected, Mr. Bennett was already drunk as a skunk with his daughter and her friend not too far behind him. People started arriving around seven, and half way through the swing of things Alex had taken it upon herself to play fake hostess since Harvey was too drunk too remember to do it and Clem was too busy falling all over herself to pour straight. It was a good ass night.

Currently Alex was draping herself across the kitchen counter as she poured some random a shot of vodka and sent him on his way. "CLEEEEMM! COME TAKE ANOTHER SHOT WITH MEE!"

Presley really didn't have a fucking clue what she was doing here. On the one hand, yay party and yay free booze and YAY FREE PUBLICITY, oh yeah, she was all about that shit. Promoting and whatnot. Silly boys needed all the help they could get. On the other? Every single one of said boys had disappeared into the chaos and were probably dead (they were seasoned partiers, but boy, did they need a babysitter something fierce), and she was left alone with the party's host. Which wasn't entirely unpleasant, she had to admit. Her outfit had drawn him to her like moths to a flame, and while she didn't normally go for older guys, this dude was seriously hot. And he knew it, too. Which somehow made him hotter. Probably that was just the vodka, though. Her standards were pretty low to begin with, but booze made them a bottomless pit. Booze made everyone attractive to Presley, regardless of age, personality, or gender. Sometimes it was a real problem. Other times, like now? Not so much. Dude was hot.

She was leaning heavily against Mr. Moneybags when, one right after the other, two dark-haired old hags swept in and practically molested the poor guy. She gave them both a goofy look, which she'd intended to be all 'oh HELL no!' but ended up more like 'furreal?' She hadn't officially decided to bang the birthday boy until that first woman grabbed his ass and called him names, and once the second woman planted a wet one on him, well, shit! Didn't they realize he was busy?! Sneaky old bitches.

"Uh." She poked Harvey's chest and resisted the urge to kick him a little. With her shoes, no doubt 'a little' would result in a bloodbath. "The fuck is happening?"

Allison could tell she'd disrupted Harvey and his little friend, which was all according to plan. She smiled, genuinely happy with a side of slightly evil. "A present? I already gave you a daughter, babe. You want more than that?" What did you buy for a guy like Harvey anyway? She would have gotten him some of his favorite whiskey, but it would have disappeared before he even saw it on a night like this, so he was just going to have to cope with her presence being present enough. And the delightful gift of not throttling the little blonde when she looked at her like she was something nasty she'd found on the carpet. Damn floozy.

Fortunately she had Riley as a reinforcement, and to keep her from doing anything she'd regret. Thank god for Riley, always bringing a touch of class to these things. "You look amazing, Riley. As always. Let me guess, you left Vince home with a babysitter?" she teased.

Well, Harvey was in something of a twist. He was surrounded by women, and not in a good way. Two of them were obviously having no qualms about completely fucking him over with P-girl, and P-girl... well, she had no clue what was going on, and no idea who she was dealing with. He would've warned her if he could, but Allison more or less took care of that with the daughter talk. Whether or not that was a good thing, he had no. Gorram. Idea.

Riley, though. He wasn't sure what to make of her drunken display of affection. Well. Not affection. Something like affection, but entirely more sinister. Which was odd. Usually she was trying to get him to shut up, not deliberately provoke him. But Allison probably had more to do with that than anything. Devil woman.

All told, the facts were these: Harvey was so drunk and bewildered that he couldn't think of a single thing to say. He just nodded, wide-eyed, with an uncomfortably frozen grin plastered on his face. He also pulled Prometheus – nope, that was definitely wrong... Pippin? Prince? Presley! That was it! He pulled Presley closer to him, tugging her by her lovely hips. Even this unexpected onslaught of exes couldn't stop him from pursuing his favorite pastime. Or so he thought.

'The fuck is happening?' How uncouth, not at all lady-like. Then again Harvey always did prefer the juveniles. Riley sniffed, noticeably, before turning her full attention to Allison for a moment and gave her an affectionate eye roll. "No, I let him out tonight, though thankfully I managed to convince him to keep Tony's suit at home. You haven't seen him? I left him at the kegs, which now that I think about it was probably a horrendously bad idea. At least he's happy?"

She took the time to take a long sip of her drink and touch Allison's forearm with a knowing look she knew only Allison would understand given the current situation before she focused back on the (very uncomfortable looking) birthday boy. She flashed him a big smile. "Harvey, don't be rude! You haven't even bothered to introduce me to your friend, and I'm going to hazard a guess that you haven't extended the courtesy to Allie either. Known each other long?" She fixed Presley with a steady gaze.

If this was some kind of competition, Presley's eyebrows seemed be having a contest of their own on her face. They were WTFing all over the place at these two women. Old and snobby. Perfect. But wait. Daughter? Hot guy had a daughter? With her? Huh. Presley made a mental note to find said daughter later. There was no doubt she'd be smokin'.

She stuck out a confrontational hand at the extra snobby name when she asked Harvey to introduce them. Well, fuck that. Presley could introduce herself. "Sirius Cash. I mean. Presley Black. I mean. Shit." Well, on second thought, maybe not. She rolled her eyes at herself and continued, concentrating very, very hard. "Presley Cash. At your service. I can kill you with my shoes." She hadn't meant to say that last part, but now that it was out... Oops? Zoe would be so proud.

"I'm sure he's having a great time. At least without the suit he probably won't cause any permanent damage to anything. Or anyone." The teasing was lighthearted. To be honest, she was quite fond of Vince, although some of his juvenile antics seemed all too familiar occasionally. Riley must have had the patience of a saint.

She exchanged knowing looks with Riley. Then Allie smiled, like a tiger playing with it's prey. Whether the hapless victim in this analogy was Presley or Harvey was hard to say, but the dangerous amusement was unmistakable. The blond's trouble remembering her own name did make her an attractive target, but the shoe comment made Allison laugh and earned the girl a few points with her. "Oh, I like this one, Harvey," she said all too sweetly. "I think she's a keeper. Just don't let her kick you to the curb when she's done. Those shoes could certainly do some damage."

If there was one thing his good friend Harvey knew how to do, it was throw a hell of a party. There was no way he was missing whatever birthday extravaganza he put together, if only for the massive amounts of good company and the fact that it gave Riley an excuse to put on one of those little dresses and heels. There were always a few perks when it came to going to these high class parties.

Almost immediately after they'd arrived, Vince had set about showing a couple of twenty-somethings the proper way to use a keg. Riley had, predictably, abandoned him to his fate. A few minutes later, the youngsters were in full party mode, and he wondered where his woman had wandered off to. It was a big house, so she wasn't that easy to find. Once he did, though, he had to laugh. Riley looked pretty content, Allie looked like she was about to go in for the kill, some blond looked confused, and Harvey looked like a man under siege. He should probably go help. Though the real question was which side to take.

Sauntering up to the group, he slid an arm around Riley. "Hey there, honey." He nodded to Allie and Harvey with a wide smile. Oh yeah, these things were always entertaining. "Great party, Bennett. And Allie, you look fantastic. Not interrupting, am I?"

Riley had returned the firm handshake though she kept it brief, having to actual fight back a roll of her eyes at the woman's (Presley? How quaint.) drunken yammerings. Really, she just vibrated an aura of intelligence, Harvey still knew how to pick 'em. Riley wasn't sure why she was so judgmental when it came to Harvey and his choice in sexual partners, it's not like you could really use the excuse that he could do better, because Harvey was scum. Lovable scum, at times, but scum nonetheless. And the women he picked weren't much better, so it's not like that excuse really applied to them either. Riley just held nothing but contempt for Harvey and all his various forms of depravity.

She was about to say something in response to Presley's rather hilariously defensive statement when she felt Vince's arm around her waist and her smile grew much more genuine as she immediately turned to him and placed a kiss on the corner of his mouth. If there was one person who could successfully subdue Riley Jones, it was Vince Van Horne. Even if the subduing was really only temporary...

"You? Interrupting? Never. Harvey here was just failing at introducing us to his newest flavor of the night, though luckily it seems she can speak for herself. Not his usual type, I think he's trying on something new."

Harvey let out an audible sigh of relief when Vince showed up out of nowhere. Now, that was the kind of surprise appearance he didn't mind so much. Vince was a good guy, and he knew better than anybody how downright predatory Riley could be when she was in the mood. Like she was just waiting to pounce and rip him to shreds, and not in the good way. Sadly, the good way happened once and would probably never happen again. Harvey had little to no morals, but even he wouldn't try to snake his best friend's woman out from under him. More than once, that is. That would just be rude.

"Vince! Good to see you, amigo! Glad you're havin' fun!" 'Cause I'm certainly not, he almost added, but stopped himself and diverted his attention back to Presley. She looked a little flummoxed, definitely out of her league, but damn if she didn't have fantastic tits. He totally missed Riley's seething remark because of them. Fantastic tits. "Vince, this is Presley." He looked over at the Iron Man, a clearly salacious grin on his face. "She's in a band." Wink wink.
