Honestly, he's not really sure if anyone will show up. Which would be pretty damn depressing, considering the point of having this damn party is to cheer himself up, but what can you do.

Guests or not, everything's all set up on the vast lawn Ethan calls his yard. The music is loud and classic rock flavoured, since he figures no one can argue with that (and if they can, they can keep their mouths shut). Tables are set with meats and cheeses, veggies and dip, and some premade sandwiches, with desserts and sweet treats on their own table. Since he didn't want to bother with trying to set up a full bar, he's got coolers full of beer, individual servings of wine (what a nifty invention), and those bottled ready-to-drink cocktail things. No straight hard liquor in sight, just in case.

He'd chucked a couple of beach balls into the pool to make it look festive and strung up some lights in the trees, for after the sun sets. Hopefully, it should be a good time.

Vanessa and Ethan

Vanessa couldn't pass up the chance to meet Ethan, now she and Victor had connected she felt that she needed to meet the other man who shared in her dreams. It sounded as though he needed a break from them so Vanessa would find out more about who he was here and attempt to take his mind away from the dreams which troubled him.

Parking her car she headed towards the ranch, he'd certainly done an impressive job as the place looked wonderful. "It seems you have a talent as a party planner" she said with a smile as she found him.

	It wasn't Vanessa so much as it was -- everything else in the dreams that was getting to him. So he greats her with a smile and offers his hand in greeting. "It's all a bit last minute, but it'll do. How are you this evening?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well if this is last minute I'm even more impressed Mr Chandler" she told him with a smile, "I'm very well thank you. And thank you for the invitation" For some reason whenever she was around those from her dreams her accent came back more than it had before, and she'd done so well to not sound too English since moving to America.

	Ethan, for his part, can't quite help his slow as molasses drawl (though he does sometimes exaggerate it, just to get on Victor's nerves). The touch of English is nice, in that it's familiar. "My pleasure. I wouldn't want to keep anyone out who had a mind to go. So long as they behave themselves and all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Vanessa had to admit she liked Ethan's drawl, it was familiar and comforting somehow. Strange how that could be. "I promise I'll try not to cause a ruckus" she told him her lips curling upwards in amusement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well I sure do appreciate it. And I'll trust you to keep an eye out for those who might."

A genuine smile spreads across his face, and he feels better already having a few friends around him. Or at least people who understand what he's been through, in that strange world of their dreams.

"Let me get you something to drink. I figured a proper bar might be a bit risky, but I cleared the store of all manner of bottled drinks, along with some wine."

	"You can count on me" she promised with a smile. Vanessa too found it better to have people around who had the same dreams, it was a connection which wasn't easy to explain but was important. "Wine sounds lovely, thank you" she nodded as she followed him looking around as she did so. (Reply to this) (Parent)
