Wren didn’t exactly do ‘well’ at parties. When she went, she’d stay for an hour, have a drink or two, and then disappear before anyone could notice she had left. However, tonight she was set on having a good time. A few of her friends had told her about the elaborate event at a mansion and how she actually had to stay this time. And so, Wren was on her third mai-thai. Sucking down the delicious pineapple and rum drink was easy, and so now was conversation. Somewhat. Wren paraded around the food table, her normal spot at a party, stuffing whatever there was to offer in her face before reaching a chip bowl. “Oh my god,” she said stuffing a chip into her mouth, “They have chips here?! They have chips here. Have you tried these? They are amazing!” she exclaimed, her words slurring only sightly.
“Wow, okay.. totally underestimated the size of this place,” she says, seemingly to herself as no one appears to be around, her brows pulling together in concern. All she’d wanted to do was find a bathroom — and she had. But with the house something of a maze, the only notion pulling her back toward the event was the music. Everything else was utterly unfamiliar, and it was safe to say, she was LOST. “Nope, okay..." She glances around the newly renovated hallway, scanning the various openings and doorways, and wondering which one would lead her to an exit. “This.. this is the part of the book where bad things happen,” she says, fearing the absolute worst now as panic sets in. Does she go left or right? Where in the world did the stairs go? “’Kay, just gonna take this corn—” SMACK BANG into the body of another, sending her hurdling down onto the carpeted floor.
Switching back and forth with Asher doing hosting duties with the hoards of people coming in as the party really started setting off, Talan sauntered every which way around the mansion’s large main deck, leis in hand, and about probably ten already around his neck, accentuating his Jersey Shore crossed with Sailor get-up. Downing the rest of the latest beer in his hands, Talan headed straight towards the pool, instantly jumping in and joining on a game of volleyball for the time being. When one of his newest teammates said they needed one more player, Talan turned towards whoever was currently passing by, holding up the game ball in his hands and calling out, “Hey! Want to join in?!”
A headset hung effortlessly around the blonde’s neck as she pre-selected a track or two that had a long enough duration for her to take a much-needed booze break. Blonde mane being liberated from the high ponytail to cascade down her back. The atmosphere of the party was enough to leave Alaska marginally envious as she pushed her way through the sea of mingling bodies; immediately feeling a bit too sober as she did so. Typically, she would have undoubtedly been about four beers deep and several shots in; dancing viciously in the middle of the dance floor or egging on her soberer friends to test their limits while under her protection. However, it was crucial that she remained sober enough to keep Asher and Talan’s party at max; allowing the burden to fall upon her with ease as she kept the crowd entertained with bass heavy tracks & pieces that kept them dancing. At the start, at least.
It seemed as if she had been pushing her way to freedom for at least fifteen minutes before she was able to arrive at the table of alcohol. A relived sigh leaving the confinement of her lips as she immediately reached for several shot glasses. Helping herself to what seemed to be a full bottle of tequila. “Split these with me, yeah?” She inquired to the body next to her. Not even bothering to look up as she slid them several full glasses of their own. “If I’m left alone to finish these all by myself, don’t be surprised if I start bumping Marvin’s Room by Drake when I’m back up there.”
What better way to finish summer off than with an END OF SUMMER BASH at an exclusive mansion?! Talan ( @talanzaretti ) & Asher ( @ashcrking ) have ‘hired’ an exclusive mansion in New Orleans to host a pool party blow out for friends, friends of friends, and whoever wishes to come. Along with a tonne of rooms, this ultimate, luxurious mansion consists of recreational games rooms, a bowling alley, a cinema, & a bar room. The palm trees surrounding the pool will be decked out with fairy lights, along with a self serve bar for your convenience. Think BODY PAINT and SILLY STRING. Think games in the pool (marco polo, pool volleyball), beach balls, cool floaties, hula hoops galore, games of limbo.. a live Jazz band will be accompanying DJ ALASKA who’s been hired exclusively for this event. Not only that, Talan and Asher have requested all partygoers to wear “whatever the hell they want” in terms of clothing and costumes, and will be handing out LEIS upon arrival. But the more creative the better! This summer bash will be out of this world, and it’s certainly one you DON’T want to miss.
OOC EVENT INFORMATION
The event will take place over 4 days: THURSDAY AUGUST 24th at 12pm — SUNDAY AUGUST 27th at midnight. As always, replies may continue post event, but no event starters should be posted from that time onwards.
For your character, this will, of course, only be a night. It’s a way for many of them to let loose, or possibly cringe if this isn’t their thing, and enjoy the end of summer in New Orleans for the year just before heading into fall. To your characters, it is simply the Saturday evening.
Feel free to plot as you like in terms of how your character gets invited or rocks up if they don’t know Asher or Talan. Perhaps they heard it through word of mouth or a friend invited them. But either way, find a way for your character to be there — should you wish to participate in the event.
Have your character dress up in a crazy costume, or simply in beach wear if they wish. Either way, feel free to be as creative as you like and post pictures of what they might wear.
The tag for this event and all posts related to the event (such as starters, etc) is #nolasummerbash
A LITTLE HINT...
There will be a fun PLOT DROP taking place during this event, in which your character may be randomly paired with another for reasons unknown ( for now, hehe ). More details to be released during the event, so keep an eye out for that during the event ;) However, if your character is going to attend this event and you are able to participate, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT below letting us know that you would like to be a part of the plot drop, and we’ll add your character to the list! If you have multiple characters and only wish for one to participate, for example, please specify which will be attending. If not, we will automatically assume all of your characters will be a part of it based off of the one comment!
The last person he’d expected to see was her, the last time he’d run into Grace having been their coinciding birthday celebrations. He’d protected her, unexplained of course considering he’d walked away before she could question him too much. His behaviour was erratic, impulsive, dismissive. Ash thought it better to let the brunette believe the persona he’d put on and all the ideas she’s conjured from his behaviour than speak the truth. His aversion to giving her a true reason and an explanation she deserved stemmed from his inability to speak about his heartbreak. As he watched her a few feet away now, his somewhat buzzed self knew that he had to walk away now, before she spotted him. Before she could question him, before she could break the truth. Sure, he knew he couldn’t avoid her forever, but he could try. And that’s when Asher stood, attempting to weave himself through the crowd in hopes of disappearing altogether.
Gabe didn’t work very hard on his attire. He had this old mankini he bought as a joke last year, so he decided to wear it as a joke. He slipped into his Yeezy 350 and he was ready to go. So if you see a strange guy walking around butt naked, here’s Gabriel.
