Quentin turned and looked over at the brunette as she spoke. She seemed cold and that was only indicated by her words and prior to that, the wind that hit him when she had opened the door to come inside. “Here, step in a little, the heat hits better the farther away you get from that door.” He stepped aside, ushering her to move closer so she could warm up a bit more. Since Alice was busy, probably investigating, he figured the least he could do was talk to other people. As terrifying a notion as that could be. “It’s amazing. I mean, I’ve obviously never been to a real speakeasy but I’m gonna guess that this is pretty close.” The real action was at a distance, they could be heard over the music and that alone was nice. Just overlooking it all. “Are you going to get in there and dance?”

“Thank you.” She was eager to follow the advice, glad to get away from the biting wind and let the heat in the speakeasy wash over her for a while to rid her of the chill that worked its way into her bones. “I’m afraid I never was either, but it does remind me of some of the older bars in New Orleans. So that’s probably a good sign.” The place was jumping, and Hayley’s holiday mood was much improved by the sights and the music. “Oh...I think I’d have to be a little drunk first. My dancing is only slightly worse than my singing. How about you? Going to cut a rug, or whatever the 1920′s equivalent was?”

“oh, you’ll get a concert alright.” a laugh as she shook her head. “once i start… i don’t stop. this is me warning you in advance, by the way.” laughing some more, turning her body more towards the female. “mind reader. thanks. i’m small, i’m sure you can manage it.” smiling as she finished her glass of wine, it wasn’t like she was speed drinking her way through them or anything. she’d just been here a while. “i wish i’d known. i would kill for a roasted chestnut right now.” a lot of the food offerings wasn’t vegetarian so she’d struggled a little with the options. it was her fault for forgetting to advise them differently but drinking on an empty stomach? probably not smart.

“No complaints here, I like a jukebox that never runs out!” Hayley was already looking forward to the free show, truth be told. “As long as you don’t kick your feet while I’m doing it, because I have a feeling those shoes of yours would leave a good sized hole in me.” If it did prove necessary, though, she was sure the smaller woman could be carried. “Fortunately you’re talking to the one person in the bar who can hook you up.” There was a bag in her purse that she’d intended to bring home, but sharing it seemed like a more Christmas-y sort of concept. Digging it out, she passed it down the bar to Aria. “Enjoy!”

“yeah, hopefully.” her luck at these kinds of events didn’t run high but she hoped for both of their sakes that she was right on this one. “so wait for me to get drunk or drunker i should say and sing for you?” aria joked, letting out a chuckle as she took a small sip of her wine. “i like your tactic.” a smile in her direction. “tell me about it. i don’t think i’m going to be able to walk for a week after this.” she laughed a little but she was serious, her feet were killing her. “outside? is everything okay?”

“That’s absolutely my plan,” Hayley confirmed with a grin. “After all, who could say no to their own private concert? Not me, I’ll tell you that.” Her drink had cooled enough to be sipped properly now, and she took a long drink that was interrupted by a laugh. “If you need me to carry you to the door later, I’ll see what I can do.” Aria’s concern made her quickly shake her head to dispel the idea. “Oh yeah, it’s fine! Sorry, the law firm I work at rented this cart to sell roasted chestnuts near the speakeasy, and they needed someone to work it for a few hours. Hence me standing outside.”

being at a party without a date is, well, pretty much humiliating. everyone around her displayed such boastful happiness, holding hands with one another. laughing and living loud within eachother’s company. a string pulled amidst her chest, beady eyes bouncing around, trying to find anyone anyone that had at least the semblance of being unoccupied. a sigh slips, fluttered soft lashes as she pressed down the soft fabric of her flapper dress. ❝ what’s a party without a date ? ❞

Hayley spotted the girl from a distance, admiring the craftsmanship of her dress and noticing the loneliness on her face. Setting what was left of her drink on the bar she approached with a smile. “Hey,” she greeted softly. “If you’re not occupied, may I have this dance? Can’t help with the date part, though.” There was nothing romantic in the gesture, just the urge to help someone feel more at ease.

“ew.” she chuckled. “but you’re totally right.” glancing over her shoulder at the party that was in full swing behind her. “what? no? the whole point of singing christmas songs is to do it loudly and terribly!” she teased with a smile. aria wasn’t a big karaoke fan herself but her friend emily had dragged her to those kinds of bars whenever they caught up. “sure, no problem.” nodding her head. “it’s nice to meet you too.” her eyes glancing down to the shoes she was wearing. “impressive, huh? my heart agrees with you and loves them but my feet? not so much.”

“Fortunately we get to have the fun parts now, without all the gross ones,” Hayley smiled. “I think I’ll leave that up to other people, and let them be humiliated instead of me; at least until I’ve got a lot more alcohol in me than I do right now at least. “The price we pay for fashion, huh? I’d have worn my good shoes tonight but I was outside for most of it; I wasn’t going to freeze and be wearing killer heels on top of that.”

“yeah. i mean who even knows what christmas parties in the 1920′s were like?” laughing a little. “are you about to jump into song?” she teased playfully about her joke. “that’s the beauty of alcohol. it gets people cheery.” sometimes a little too much but seen as she’d given up counting the wines she was having she wasn’t one to judge. “great. want some wine mixed with that?” aria teased, offering out her wine with a smile. “i’m aria, by the way.”

“Probably like this but with more communicable diseases,” Hayley snorted at her own joke. “Oh god I hope not, for everyone’s sake it’s better if we let people who can carry a tune do the actual singing.” Even karaoke nights were proof that her own ability to carry a tune wasn’t worth mentioning. “Most people, at least. I’ll pass on the wine, but thanks for the offer,” she held up her glass in toast. “Lovely meeting you, Aria. I’m Hayley - and can I say those heels are amazing?”

for someone who had not drank alcohol before was it presumably bad to touch it. the former droid had ONLY taken one drink earlier, but it ended up with more. when he heard a voice beside him, he jumped a bit, letting out a laugh ❝ d-definitely. have you tried these? ❞ he asked, pointing a the shot glass ❝ they say, he said— i dunno… they said this was tequ— something?? ❞ he frowned, taking a sip from the tequila. it was strong, but he liked it ❝ i am having fun! my head just feels strange. you having fun? ❞ he chuckled.

Wow, was Hayley’s first thought as she took the young man in. The drinks were hitting him hard, and she hoped that he had a ride home arranged for afterward. “Tequila,” she filled in the blanks for him, knowing that he likely wouldn’t remember it anyway. “Not really my speed, but I’m glad you’re liking it - maybe get something to eat, though, okay? Or you’re going to be on the floor before the night’s over.”

She had to smile at the question, looking around at the happy crowd. “I am, actually. I can’t remember the last time I was at a party this big. And the holidays always make me a little cheerful.”

.｡.:*☆ Mera still felt awkward, amongst all those people she did not know, not understanding the purpose of the event, and yet, technically, there was nowhere else to be, either. Unless she wanted to sit in her empty apartment instead.

“How about, I am going to tell you, if I find out?” She asked, fingers playing around with another tinsel she had found while staring at the crowd. “Once I understood the purpose of this all.”

It wasn’t hard to spot awkward at a party, and it looked a lot like the woman she was speaking to. Hayley knew that feeling and was eager to help if she could. “Well, the purpose is fun - if parties are fun for you, that is. They’re not for everyone.”

She gestured the bartender. “The first thing I notice is that you don’t have a drink in your hand. Once you do, things’ll seem a little bit more festive. Then I’d recommend dancing, if you’d like.”

aria was currently giving her feet a much-deserved break considering the heels she was wearing were like twice as big as her. hearing the female she turned to smile slightly, taking a small sip of the wine she held in her hand. “pretty festive, hm?” not that it was going to be anything else at a christmas party but hey? they’d gone all out. “i actually think the entire town is here.” which was great. “surprisingly, yes.” a slight chuckle to hide the fact she was being totally serious and that wasn’t a reflection on her date who was great. it was just her at the moment. “what about you?”

Hayley shared the stranger’s smile. “It really is. I wasn’t sure if the 20′s theme would sort of overpower the Christmas side of things or not, but they’ve done a really nice job keeping things merry and bright,” it was a weak joke, but still. “I’m glad to hear it! It wouldn’t be much of a party if everyone was miserable.” Looking around the room again, she nodded. “I actually just got here, but I’ve got a warm drink so I’m doing well enough so far.”

Hayley wasn’t entirely sure how she’d ended up in charge of selling roasted chestnuts from a cart in the freezing cold - something about the law firm’s charity drive - but once she’d put in the time she made a beeline for the speakeasy in the hopes of warming herself up and left the cart in other capable hands for the evening.

Slipping inside she headed straight for the bar to ask for a hot drink, wrapping her arms around herself with a shiver as she waited. “It’s nice in here,” she observed idly to the people on either side of her stool. “Glad to see such a good turnout. You having fun?”

“oh, WOWIE. you look so cute.” jester mused, both hands clasped together in front of her. “could’ve used a bit more glitter here and there but that’s fine, not everyone’s cut out to shine that bright. boring’s cute too, you know.” her usual accent slurred at the end of her sentence, almost as if hiding something from the other person — a beaming smile flashing across her lips afterwards.

Hayley quirked an eyebrow. “You know, you say boring like it’s a bad thing. Personally I kinda like being boring. Let the other stars shine.”

“ forget the party ! i hit the hay all day motherfucker, twenty four hour sleep cycle, if you awake you fake, it’s bed time bitch ! “ too energetic for the statement, too much energy thrumming through his blood, even if all he wanted was to go home and nap. fuck being a productive member of society…or whatever.

“That’s...certainly one way to look at it,” Hayley nodded politely. “I’m sure you can get a cab outside if you’re not feeling like partying, though.”

.｡.:*☆ “What do you mean, this is too much?!?” Dory asked, looking at the other with wide eyes.

“I thought this is a Christmas party! And the woman in the shop told me that is what people would wear on Christmas, usually?!?”

“Sorry, too much might have been overstating it a little. It’s just - yes, it’s a Christmas party, but it’s 1920′s themed. So you’d be better off in something period appropriate. It’s fine, though, really, you look nice!”
