In truth, Ben had no idea why he was here. Polly had asked him to go with her and not wanting to leave one a friendly faces alone, he said yes. He didn’t know the Lodges other than their name. Frankly, he didn’t really know anyone in the town outside of the few regulars who came into the library. In a way, it’s what he needed given his current circumstances. But he still craved some sort of connection in this lonely world.  Ben had stationed himself by the snack table, he’d been getting several plates of random finger foods and watched the party unfold before him. 

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed someone approaching him. “Sorry, I’ll move, probably shouldn’t be blocking the table anyway.” He laughed nervously. “Sorry about that. The mini sandwiches are great by the way.”

The moment Tabitha had walked in to the party, she was all ready to let go of the stress of her normal life and just have fun for once. It was rare for her to really let herself go, always the one with her life pulled together tight. It was time for her to let it go, just this once. What could one party really hurt? It’s why she found herself quickly a little too tipsy and giggly, and finishing up her song at the karaoke stand. Another thing she hardly ever did, but she kind of liked it and wanted to go again. Stumbling down from the small stage where the microphone sat, she smiled at the person she was now standing in front of. “Hey do you want to do a duet with me?! Come on, its so fun!”

Betty wasn’t particularly in the party mood, if she was being quite honest. But how could she ever say no to Veronica inviting her for the time at the Lodge? So she showed up, and mostly hung around picking at the food that was scattered across a long table. And working on her third of forth drink, she couldn’t remember, she had lost count at this point. But she was starting to feel it. Betty found herself in front of the make shift stage, watching as her fellow friends and acquaintances took the stage to sing karaoke. “You know,” she started, hearing her words starting to slur just a bit from the alcohol. “I didn’t know they could sing that good. I’m impressed.”

Despite the fact that Chad has mastered the arts of both manipulation and imitation, sometimes it was hard to fit to this town’s low standards. Despite the fact that he was too new to find a source of control, sometimes he just needed to let his true colors breathe. He was enjoying glass of whiskey, lost in his own thoughts as someone  tried to speak to him despite the fact it was obvious he was not listening. “ Excuse me? Do you believe that there is something I can do for you?” His voice was laced with irony as his eyes changed their focus, so they could pierce the figure who dared to disturb him.

Pepper found it a bit strange that she had just got into town and was already invited to a party, one where she hardly knew anyone at for that matter. But there was one thing about Pepper, and that was she was never going to turn down a good time and free drinks. The Lodge was quaint, as she looked around at the growing group of party guest trying to pick anyone out in the crowd she knew before she made her way to the bar to order a martini. “So, what exactly is this party for again?” she asked the person that was closest to her, hoping they had the slightest idea of what was going on.
