“How many of these tiny sliders do you think it takes to equal a whole burger? I’ve eaten 9 already.”

[percynotpercival]

“Nice.” He chuckled. “There’s something about smaller food that just tastes nicer, if you ask me.”

[noahfynn]

For once, Noah wasn’t the drunkest person at the party. He had taken his party planning responsibilities seriously out of respect for Lupita, which meant that he was slowly nursing his drinks instead of getting hammered. Still, that didn’t mean that he was incapable of having a good time and he found himself approaching someone that was lingering at the edge of the dance floor. “Care to dance?” he asked them, extending his hand in case they wanted to take him up on the offer.

[percynotpercival]

;; Percy raised an eyebrow to Noah and let out a laugh. “Aye, go on then.” He took his hand and made him spin.

“Has anyone seen the birthday girl?”

[percynotpercival]

;; “Saw her by the bar but that was half an hour ago. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.”

[percynotpercival]

“You seen a tiny girl with flowers on her face?” Lupita asked the first person that she recognized, referring to Dakota who also happened to be her date.

;; “Sounds pretty memorable but I’ve not actually.” He told her. “I think a happy birthday is in order though.”

“I just want a margarita to be honest.”

[percynotpercival]

;; “What’s stopping you?”

[amberjade-rhodes]

Lola had convinced Amber-Jade to come to Lupita’s birthday, assuring her that it would be a fun night. The redhead had only agreed when Lola mentioned that there would be an open bar at the event so naturally that’s where Amber had gravitated to after her arrival at the party. Nursing a neat bourbon, she glanced over at someone as they approached the bar too. “I’m glad I’m not the only one that needs a little extra something tonight”.

[percynotpercival]

;; He’d noticed a red head at the bar without instantly knowing it was Amber from the back. He ordered one finger of whiskey when he heard her speak and recognised it. “Only one for me, I’m afraid and then I’m non-alcoholic for the rest of the night.” He told her. He was mostly there to keep an eye on his sister and he needed to be mostly sober for that.

“soo… i don’t know what’s weirder. the fact that im at a birthday of my ex girlfriend who i probably broke up with for… like the 5th time? or the fact that we all have to wear these stupid masks.”

;; “Can the answer be both?”

[estegarcia-deactivated20220301]

“I’m not sure if this mask was the wisest choice.”

[percynotpercival]

;; “Maybe not but it looks great.”

[ourardenoliver]

If it had been anyone else’s party, Arden probably would have tried to find an excuse to get out of it but she wasn’t going to miss her little’s birthday masquerade. She had started drinking before the party as she needed the liquid courage to stomach the thought of a big social event; and had hit the open bar quite heavily since her arrival. All of this meant that she was a little drunker than she had planned to be and she found herself leaning against the bar, trying to mask her level of intoxication. “Are there any vegan food options?” she asked the next person that approached her, wanting to eat something to try and soak up some of the alcohol in her stomach.

[percynotpercival]

;; Percy may not be out right saying it but he was worried about Arden. The way she had been acting after the shipwreck was concerning which is why he made a couple of precautions for the night. He’d left a bag at the cloakroom with vegan snacks in just in case she got drunk and needed some. He slung his arm around Arden’s shoulder when she went up to someone and guided her away. “Come on, I’ve got some.”

Lupita’s Masquerade Ball (suit + mask)

“Well, I already gave 22 of them away, and I’m sure my sisters will be able to devour the rest. If I save you some cupcakes, can I get in on a couple slices of pizza?”

;; “Well done. Which sorority are you in?” He figured that’s what she meant by sisters. “Sure thing! What’s your favourite topping?”

[percynotpercival]

fuckinyazzy‌:

“Thanks - well, I may or may not be bored shitless due to the current happenings in the world.”

;; “Understandable, I made a load of pizzas the other day. What are you going to do with 80 cupcakes though?”

[hannahcallaghanmu]

“Fuck off, I don’t need you to buy me an air conditioner, I’m fine. Go home.” Hannah insisted, walking the older man out to his car once everything had been unpacked in her new apartment. It wasn’t the nicest of places but, it was what she’d been able to afford with what little money she’d saved up. Her brother was already covering the cost of tuition. She wasn’t about to ask him to pay for an apartment as well. Hannah waved him off as he drove away, only then turning to see the other gawking at the sight. “Yes, I’m his sister. And no, I don’t want to be your friend.”

[percynotpercival]

;; Percy was just passing through the neighbourhood on his jog. He was going to just cross the road out of the way when he heard her telling him to fuck off and the guy leaving. He slowed to a stop where he was about to ask if she was okay until she snapped. “Woah, woah, white flag, I come in peace.” He waved an imaginary white flag. “I was just going to check you were okay.”

[kahloflores]

Zoe’s attention had been completely fixed onto the screen of her laptop. She’d spent the past half an hour putting the finishing touches on her midterm project for her communications class, and was now narrowing down the transitions for the slides. “Okay ––” she turned the screen to face the other person. “Do you think flip is too basic?” She pressed the right arrow key, previewing the transition on her powerpoint. “Or should I use the origami one?” Another button press, another transition is shown. “Maybe airplane? I don’t see people using that one too often… or am I putting too much thought into this? Please tell me that I’m not. It’s just that with everything being online now, and I can’t present this to the the class, it needs to be visually perfect.”

[percynotpercival]

Percy was just passing by when she asked for his opinion and clearly he was already in a playful mood like he usually was. “Hmm.. I’m not sure but you know what would make it so much better? The font should be wingdings.”

[percynotpercival]

fuckinyazzy‌:

“I swear, I’m like the girl in the math equations. Sharon accidentally bakes 80 cupcakes…wait, I don’t know how the rest goes. Basically, I accidentally made 80 cupcakes.”

;; “I mean, I’m impressed but... how do you accidentally bake 80 cupcakes?”

First day back, already causing trouble…

“Yeah, you won,” Ryan pouted in defeat. “I like to think Arden likes me. She’s always nice to me,” she told him. “I just wasn’t expecting you to get it so quickly. Maybe I’m an artist after all,” she joked.

;; “Yes!” Percy cheered for himself. “You’d know if Arden didn’t like you, trust me.” He chuckled. “There you go, that’s the spirit. And for the record, I think it was a pretty awesome stick figure.”
