closed starter for @huntercam when/where: khaos grand opening
"Sorry, should I be ordering you a pretentious bourbon, or whatever it was?"
Elyse laughs as she passes a drink over to Cam. She might be his plus one, but this undoubtedly feels more her element than his. Not that she doesn't love their quiet sessions, but there's something about the anonymity in a crowd and yet still feeling all eyes on you that lights her up.
There's something exciting, too, about knowing they've solidified their understanding of what this is. What they are. Boyfriend and girlfriend -- she's proud of it and wants to tell everyone. But being here when only they know... again, the duality is dizzying. As is the atmosphere here, holy fuck. Like someone found a way to put cocaine in the atmosphere (could someone do that?). She's drinking it in.
"Those masks are insane -- any faces I should recognize from the dance last summer?" Elyse tilts her chin at the wall while sipping her own drink -- these bartenders already knew what an Adios, Motherfucker was so it's a great sign. "And they said any subject? I'm guessing that's not inclusive of, like, a unicorn? Shit, are those real?"
