𝗪𝗛𝗢: @charfletchh 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡: new year's, after midnight 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘: the bar

of course, as luck would have it, rhodes finds himself stuck with someone that he, for all intents and purposes, can't stand, and he's sure the feeling is mutual. "are you gonna help me, or are you just gonna stand there and watch me?" he asks as he bends down to rifle around behind the bar. "i mean, i know i'm pretty and all, but give a guy a break," he states, standing back up with a couple bottles of booze dangling precariously between his fingers.

"what do you think? will this keep everyone satiated, or should we get more?" he asks before quickly thinking better of it. "nevermind, don't answer that... we definitely need more."

[bigmandiego]

open starter location: outside of the nye gala time: sometime later into the night but before midnight

Outside the cold air was bitter this late into the night, but Diego had opted to head out onto one of the balconies outside anyway. For a few moments just to get some fresh air. Not that his intent was to hide from the party, but it was getting difficult to pretend this wasn’t all weird. When he heard the door open behind him, he grabbed the bottle of Champaign he’d had sitting to chill in the snow and turned to see who it was. “I don’t suppose you’re coming out here to have some Champaign,” he said, inclining the bottle a bit towards the other person.

[morriscns]

rhodes doesn't even pretend to not be following diego once he spots the boy slipping out onto one of the balconies and away from the crowd. truth be told, rhodes doesn't trust diego at all, and he has this sneaking suspicion that he knows something about greer's disappearance. a suspicion that rhodes fully plans to act upon as he follows diego outside, letting the door close behind him as he blocks the way back in.

"with you? no, thanks. i'd be worried that you poisoned it," he states, slipping both hands into his pockets. "but, surely, you wouldn't do something like that, right? not mister perfect, no. you'd never do anything to hurt someone else."

[sassa-fiske]

Sassa didn’t - couldn’t - miss Rhodes leaning in towards her, though she didn’t give him any sort of reciprocation to it. She didn’t return it by leaning in in return, she didn’t pull back - she just let his eyes scan over her, her smile turning into a smirk as her eyebrows raised up on her forehead. “I’m sure,” she murmured, not quite believing him. Perhaps it was just that she was so calculated, but the idea that someone could just slip into their own head to the point of not even noticing who they were approaching…unfathomable. So no, she didn’t believe that Rhodes had just wandered up. 

“Thank you,” she said primly, her chin lifting up as she turned her face back forward - even though she could’ve certainly kept looking at him, letting her eyes scan over him the same way his had to her. But she couldn’t play her cards like that this early. Her tongue clucked against her teeth, letting out a sigh. “I haven’t,” she said. “Let me guess - you’re going to offer to get one for me?” Sassa asked, giving Ro a sly look out of the corner of her eyes.

[morriscns]

sassa is truly an enigma to rhodes, which is probably one of the many reasons why he's drawn to her. because even though she doesn't try to hide the fact that she doesn't believe him, she's still as composed and elegant as ever. if it were him on the other side, he would have just called the person out, but not sassa. not with him, at least, and there's something about that he finds intriguing. which is dangerous for someone like him, because intrigue means interest, and his interests never stay just that for long.

"so, you peg me as a gentleman then?" he questions, smile tugging at the corners of his mouth and threatening to spill over. "maybe i was just asking for curiosity's sake, or is it that you think you know me that well?" he asks, not even bothering to stop looking at her, though it's obvious she's doing her best to avoid him. still, he finds that as more of a challenge than anything, and he slides a step closer, really leaning into sassa's space. "i'll get you one, but only if you have what i'm having," he says, waving down the bartender. "two scotches, neat."

[lucia-olivo]

who: open starter when: new year’s eve, shortly before midnight where: nye gala

“You know…they say what you’re doing at midnight sets the tone for the whole year,” Lucia pointed out, bumping her shoulder against the others, batting her eyelashes as her smile slowly - ominously, almost - widened. “I hope you have something figured out.” 

[morriscns]

"is that right?" rhodes questions with a quirk of his brow, head turning to look at her from where he's propped against the railing. "maybe i do, maybe i don't," he shrugs. "is this your way of offering to help me start my new year off right, or are you tryin' to get me to help you start your new year off right? either way, you already know i'm game," he smiles.

[charfletchh]

where: the NYE gala

who: open!

Charlie had been told when she was a kid that if anyone ever took her who wasn't her parent, she should find a responsible adult and tell them she didn't know this lady, even if the lady insisted she knew Charlie's parents and promised ice cream. As she watched the woman who called herself her mother flit around the party, effortlessly finding all the important faculty, she wondered if there was an age limit on that advice. Because she did not know this lady, and this lady did not know her.

The more her mother glared at her, the more sullen and petulant Charlie became, resulting in the evergreen scene of a moody young adult and her overbearing mother. Almost Rockwellian, if one ignored the fact that the young woman was refusing to introduce her mother to any of her friends and that the mother had just forgotten her daughter's major. "Are you gonnna finish that?" She eyed the half-finished drink, her own long gone.

[morriscns]

picture this: rhodes is blissfully unaware of his current surroundings, mostly just people watching and enjoying a drink he isn't supposed to have in his possession, when all of a sudden, this grating voice hits him. he even winces before he turns his head slightly and comes face-to-face with a blonde that's as beautiful as she is fake. it's a shame, too, because rhodes truly thinks they could have had a lot of fun together otherwise.

scoffing, rhodes shakes his head, a small smile on his face and a laugh on his breath. "does it look like i'm gonna finish it?" he questions, downing the entire thing in one go before placing the now empty glass on the table. "guess that's a yes," he shrugs, tracing his finger around the rim absentmindedly as he looks the girl up and down. "full offense, but you look like shit. did you get on the wrong person's bad side?"

[sassa-fiske]

who: open starter when: nye gala, before midnight where: the bar

Sassa’s fingers tapped a pattern against the wood of the bar top, her face a picture of ease despite the tension thrumming through her body in less visible ways. She had been riding a high since her interview with the officers investigating Greer’s disappearance, with how well it had gone, knowing she was now at an advantage - but even that couldn’t overshadow everything esle going on. When she sensed a body filling the space next to her, she let out an exaggerated exhale through her nose - not in the mood to schmooze - before turning her head, chin lifting up to look at them. “Yes?” she said sweetly. though the smile that spread across her face had a sharp edge.

[morriscns]

rhodes spots sassa from across the room, somehow always able to sense her, no matter the time or place, and it only takes him a split second to decide to approach. of course, he doesn't make it seem so, with one hand in his pocket, and his gaze bouncing around from one face to another, a smile attached to his own. he gives a nod here and a few nods there before finally reaching the bar, where he plants himself right next to her and taps a finger against the bartop once. at her words, he finally turns to look at her, smile broadening as he bends slightly to lean on the counter and be more at eye level with her.

"sassa?" he questions, as though he hadn't known she was here the whole time. "sorry, i didn't notice you. was kinda off in my own head," he explains, eyes roaming over her from head to toe and not even attempting to hide it. "though, i'm not sure how i didn't. you look beautiful," he compliments, and it's the god's honest truth, too. though, there aren't very many times he can remember her looking anything but. "have you already ordered a drink?"

𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣 𝗧𝗢 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗥 : meet greer's younger brother; that's how rhodes was always introduced to new people, but truth be told, he never thought twice about it. to him, it wasn't a bad thing. he was, in fact, greer's younger brother, always would be, and he absolutely adored her. he looked up to greer in every aspect of life, and he often even mirrored her actions until they became second nature. in many ways, it was like they were the morrison twins, and if rhodes were being honest, he sometimes wished they were.

the two of them were often like two peas in a pod, and it wasn't out of the ordinary for one's interests to be the other's. they just fit. like two puzzle pieces, it wasn't uncommon to find one with the other, and rhodes would go to the ends of the earth for his beloved sister, always protecting her if someone or something got in her way. however, despite the fact that neither of them talked about it, rhodes always knew that they both felt the overwhelming pressure to be the perfect morrison kids. this was just another reason as to why rhodes always stuck by his older sister. she understood him like no one else, and he liked to think he understood her, too.

𝗦𝗞𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗧𝗢𝗡 𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗜𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 : despite any lingering pressure, rhodes is proud to be a morrison of his family's caliber. there are, of course, things he wishes could be different, but he doesn't know how to be anyone else but the rhodes conley morrison. it's basically a brand at this point, how caught up he is in being so proud of who he is. some would argue that he's arrogant in this aspect, and while they wouldn't exactly be wrong, rhodes likes to think that he's more confident in who he is than anything else. it's in his blood to be the best of the best, and he plans to live up to that no matter what.

elitism runs in his veins, and he isn't one to shy away from it. rhodes realizes all of the luxuries he's been granted in life, and he's proud to show them off, proud to walk around in designer clothing and drive the nicest cars. things might not always be pretty on the inside, but as long as he looks good on the outside, none of that matters. if anything, he's proud to have mastered the art of being proud.

𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗨𝗟𝗔𝗥𝗦 : football ( running - back ) , baseball ( pitcher ) , sophomore class board , and sigma alpha epsilon ( member ) .
