closed starter for @silcntfigvre. located at the porter family residence, in the living room, at almost midnight.
it was almost midnight when some of the others started corralling everyone toward whatever TV happened to be the closest. the living room, basement, bedroom... wherever. even if you couldn't see the screen from where you stood. sarah happened to find herself in the living room, as close to the exterior wall as she could get. not a chance of seeing the television. not that she cared. no one, to her knowledge, had really been watching the usual new year's eve entertainment all night. but apparently they wanted to make sure everyone heard the last musical guest's performance, and in a few more minutes, counted down to the new year.
sarah looked at who surrounded her, stopping when she noticed nic immediately beside her. sarah had been drinking, not enough that she couldn't control herself, but enough to let her speak unabashedly despite the rules that had been instilled in her throughout her childhood. don't speak unless spoken to. "i didn't think people watched this anymore..." she confessed. "the past three years i think i fell asleep before midnight."
