🕛 - our muses run into each other after midnight ( @delilahhartwell )

The celebration was still going but Alice had managed to find a space where it was quieter and winding down. She wasn't expecting to be noticed and was lost in thought, looking out the pub's window. She was surprised by Lila's presence but tried not to show it, "Hey," she said quietly with a smile, "Happy New Year."

[delilahhartwell]

Lila was pretty tired and ready to go home– a very different story to the last few years. It didn't help that she had been going extra hard on practice lately. On her way out of the pub though she spotted a familiar face. "Hey you," she grinned widely. "What's got you so quiet tonight?"

"You're still gonna let me use your coat later, right?" Lila asked her costume companion. "Because these bodysuits do not provide a lot of warmth and it would be the gentlemanly thing for you to do, and you owe me for looking like an absolute idiot to pair with you. I could have dressed so sexy, Max," she sighed dramatically.

Alice was wandering around the crowd, taking in all the costumes and decorations around her until she saw a familiar face. Drink in hand, she approached the other, "Delilah, h-hey. You look great. How are you?"

@delilahhartwell

[delilahhartwell]

"I've had a lot of comments tonight but great hasn't been one yet," Lila told the other with a laugh. "I'm doing okay though, told myself I'm not drinking this Halloween as the last few have ended in disaster and I'd rather not repeat that for another year," the blonde replied.

[aryanarcbins]

"I barely recognized you at first but I've got to say– I'm a fan," Arya laughed when she finally put two-and-two together and saw Lila underneath the orange and yellow feathers. "What inspired this look tonight? Do you speak for the trees?" she teased softly.

@delilahhartwell

[delilahhartwell]

"Cunty Lorax is my exact vibe, right?" Lila chuckled at her compliment. "To be honest I haven't actually seen it, it was Max's idea. I was gonna go as Lisa Frankenstein and serve even more cunt if he wasn't so insistent," she explained. "I do love that we've both gone out with the face paint though, gonna be one hell of a shower when you get home."

[matecriveracgden]

"You sure you don't want to do a career shift into becoming a mascot? Because you seem so at home in this," Mateo teased the blonde lightheartedly. "Seriously though, it's a great costume."

@delilahhartwell

[delilahhartwell]

"I'm positive," Lila nodded with a grin. "It's good though, right? Even though it's fucking revealing." She wasn't the most comfortable with being immodest thanks to the mindset she was raised with, and the morph suit showed... practically everything. "You're giving some sort of gay pilot in that, is that the vibe you're supposed to be going for or am I just reading into things?"

"You really don't have to worry. I'm not going to just keel over and I'm not requiring any medical assistance, this is just the sound of someone who has maybe really overdone their first session in far too long on the field and is paying for it afterwards. Normally there is like one or two days grace before the sheer pain of lots of exercise hits but no... this has definitely been an instant payout." Still, despite the groan he had let out and the shattered exterior, there was the most satisfied smile on the mans lips. "And honestly, a beer and some pizza will cure most of this."

[delilahhartwell]

"It better do," Lila replied with a grumpy expression on her face. She wasn't best pleased with a player joining the team who wasn't up to the required fitness levels. That and all the rumours she's heard lately, she really wasn't sure about this guy. "I went easy on you, so you're aware. You're gonna need to hit the gym a lot more than you currently do if you don't want to be benched for the next game."

[thexvictoirexweasley]

"Yeah, yeah, I know I'm covered in paint," Victoire said, laughing a little as she looked down at her dungarees, "I was feeling a little DIY this weekend and decided to switch up my bedroom wall colour. Apparently, I didn't get enough so I'm out getting some. Can you blame me for not changing?"

[delilahhartwell]

"I'm not judging the dungaree look, it's very cute," Lila commented with a grin. "It's the colours I'm concerned by... do you really think that's the best choice for a bedroom?"

[masonjones]

"We really need to rectify that situation. Everyone should know Axel." Mason told the blonde, a bright smile on his face. "So you telling me this is only making me regret even more that I am not your type." He playfully added. "You're always welcome to spend time practising with me though if you like. I doubt in the future you won't have other offers more up your alley though."

[delilahhartwell]

"If his dog is anything to judge by, I absolutely agree. We should have a little dog meet up. Waffle only ever interacts with Elara's cats that he probably thinks he's a cat at this point," she suggested with a smile. "Damnit, it was supposed to do the opposite." Lila hadn't really played since she left her family. And while she only knew church songs, she figured they'd be transferrable to other pop music, right? "No one else has offered to play with me, and I think you're really downplaying how cool you are Mase." The blonde always liked hanging out with him. "I will need to go and buy a guitar, though. There's probably some cheap ones in the charity shops, right? Maybe will need some new strings but they're cheap enough from amazon."

[dakotawilkes]

"I'm all for doing all of this, as long as we don't get arrested, Auden would kill me," she replied. "I mean, we can still do it, just not get caught."

[delilahhartwell]

"If we do get caught you know we can just apparate out of there, right?" Lila questioned the other. "If you're that worried I can get an invisibility potion from the apothecary before we go. Really lean into the incognito of it all."

[masonjones]

"Me abuse the system? Would I ever?" Mason answered, holding a hand to his heart as if to emphasise his feelings on that statement. "Man... that sounds like a pretty epic marriage but I definitely need more music and sex in there." He admitted, knowing that she felt similarly.

[delilahhartwell]

"No, actually. You wouldn't– way too nice of a human," Lila nodded. "But I don't know Axel well enough to judge." Which was a shame really, from what she knew about him it seemed like they'd get along. "I can give you music! I play the guitar and ukulele," the blonde grinned. "Haven't in a few years but it's probably like riding a bike, right?" she asked, hoping the other would know. "The other thing I can't help you with, though. But honestly it's sounding like quite a cool platonic marriage if we ever end up needing one for tax purposes."

[delilahhartwell]

"I can't wait for Pride this weekend," Lila grinned as she tried to fold up her flag but instead just shoved it in her supplies bag. A crinkled lesbian flag wouldn't hurt anyone, would it? "And to show you those places in London I've found this last year. You're gonna love it. Maybe we can even sneak into a theatre show or something."

@dakotawilkes

[matecriveracgden]

"Alright I suppose I can share every now and again then," he gave in with a grin, his ego definitely getting the best of him in regards to this. Mateo was never shy to brag, especially about something like this. "With the ex?" he pulled a slight face, "Should I be judging you or is this an okay thing? Ex is usually something people frown upon so I wanna know how to take that," if they were gonna gossip more with one another he wanted to have some context. "Well that certainly leaves a pretty open playing field," Mateo snorted. "Shouldn't be too hard then."

[delilahhartwell]

"Every now and then... I can deal with that, I guess," Lila grinned, glad she'd be able to share in those moments he chose to show her. "Yes, with the ex," the blonde clarified, "We're best friends so it's not like, that weird? You can judge me though, I can take it." She already knew of others who were judging her for that decision, but it technically was fair to do that. She'd certainly done it before. "It does but sadly not every girl is into girls," Lila frowned. "And while I could enlighten them to the lesbian way, kind of want a semi-professional if you get me."

[dakotawilkes]

"Okay, but I have to at least have a shot before I go flirt, half the time my flirting ends up being just ramblings, and maybe I also need to get a shot for whoever I'm going to be talking to."

[delilahhartwell]

"So your idea is to get you both drunk so you don't have to be good at flirting?" Lila laughed at the situation. "I kinda love your flirting though, it worked on me back then and works on me now too," she sighed with a smile before waving down the bartender. "Four shots of tequila for me and this lovely lady here, please!"
