Closed Starter for : @scofflawed Location: Nalini and Aurelie’s Balcony TWs: Gun violence
“You don’t wanna go that way!”
Nalini waves her arms erratically, trying to get the attention of the man on the street below. She doesn’t lower them until he looks at her, shaking her head to emphasise her warning.
“About six men just ran down that way. I’m telling you, there’ll be nothing but trouble if you head that way.” It was a bit morbid, throwing a whole party and taking periodic glances out the window to see what was going on in the streets below, but such was the way of life in New Orleans. Nalini was just glad that this time, she didn’t have a man out there to worry about. It was rare that she found herself without a beau of the week, but this was how the stars align.
She raises her drink so he can see it, and uses her spare hand to point to it. “Why don’t you come on up? We got drinks, music, and enough people up here to call it a party. What’s your poison? I’ll have it ready by the time you make it up the stairs.” She cracks a grin. “That is, unless you got somewhere else to be?”
