Open to all at Seascape hotel

Cutting in, she shook her head. "I think we've all done enough pondering for a year; let's not. Not tonight." It had been a long year. They all had their good and bad moments but tonight wasn't about fretting over what was done and past. "We should focus on happier things" she offered taking a sip.

"Do you want this?" X asks, holding out the champagne flute that he had been thrust into his hand by a passing waiter in offer so he could get rid of it without being wasteful.

OPEN TO ANYONE

"Shit. Shit, shit shit," Phoebe muttered to herself as she scrubbed at the expensive dress she wore. "Do you think I can get this off? I was going to return it first thing tomorrow." @aurorabaystarter

open starter // location: beachfront in the seascape luxury hotel

stealing a bottle of wine for herself was very unlike her, but she needed to get away from the crowd inside--it was beginning to feel a little suffocating. that's how she ended up on the beachfront, her heels thrown haphazardly on the sand as she perched in front of the crashing the waves without a care for her pristine gown getting sand all over it. as footsteps neared, eleanor remained engrossed in the rhythm of the waves, a picture of serene isolation against the backdrop of the moonlit beach. without diverting her gaze from the ocean, she murmured, " party's that way—unless you want some wine, then you can have some as long as you don't tell on me. " // @aurorabaystarter

"your birds missed you." it was an adjustment for them being in layla's apartment, but she hoped the plants she placed around them and the sunshine from the window made up for the sudden change of space. "they were lovely house guests." smiling, the brunette adjusts the ribbon that secured the mask to her face, "you might have invertedly convinced me to getting one of my own — maybe."

"i'm this close to slipping a twenty to the dj to get him to play something... danceable." alma tips her head back in the direction of the booth, it was close to midnight and they were already playing the slower stuff, before bringing the champaign bottle she swiped up to her lips. luckily, before she has to pull out her skills of bribery, the song changes. "—ah, that's better." her attention snaps back to the person in front of her, "come on" she taps her fingers together in a 'grabbing' motion towards the other, "let's dance before that sappy couples shit comes back on."

CLOSED STARTER for @bradley-banner

Every ounce of Benjamin is grateful for the fact that Bradley's logic didn't fall out along with her marriage. He liked her, and he understood why her decision was necessary, but it was a weird place to be. Santiago is one of his two closest friends in this town, and for all the times he happily reminded him how dumb he'd been, he still is steadfastly by his side.

That being said, seeing Bradley is a rarity, and his own lack of issue with her has made it a bittersweet thing. It is why when he sees her, clad in a shimmering gold, Ben makes it a point to greet her.

"I didn't expect you to be mingling with us peasants, your majesty. Figure I should come say 'hi' before you go back into hiding." There is a subtle inclination of his head in the form of a silly bow, and his tone is nothing short of teasing. Bradley's never been the sort to act with any air of superiority, but her name and status is known to any townsfolk who pay attention. "Spot on choice for the catering. And everything looks amazing."
