with the festivities now in full swing, delilah was getting a bit more buzzed than she intended. she has been drowning drink after drink that she had to lean against a post for a second to catch her balance. holding a half-empty glass of wine in her hand, she gazed over the booths and muttered to herself, “ maybe we can have a book fair as well next time. though i’m not sure if anyone would be interested in buying some books in a party like this. ” glancing at the person next to her, she shot them a inquisitive look as she asked for their opinion, “ what do you think? ”
❝ about a book fair ?? ❞ she asked with a quick scan of their surroundings, making sure she understood her correctly. it was an odd thought, despite victoria’s love of books, but certainly not the oddest she’d ever heard. ❝ it does sound like a slightly unusual addition to such a thing but hey, you never know. people will do all sorts of strange things with a bit of alcohol in their systems, including drunk shopping for a range of things. ❞ unfortunately, she wasn’t an exception to that.
Standing behind the clink-a-drink with a towel thrown over her shoulder, the woman stood with her back to the little counter set up. Swaying lightly to the music that drifted about the space, Ophelia was in the midst of reorganizing the bottle ( ensuring she wouldn’t fumble over finding anything later when the festivities picked up ). Not realizing someone was patiently waiting for her attention, the woman nearly jumped out of her skin at the sound of a throat clearing so close. “Oh heavens!” Hand fluttering up to land over her heart, she spun around with a sheepish smile. “You startled me. What can I get you?”
having gotten off shift a little earlier, victoria was now free to enjoy the evening, and the best way to start that was always a drink. at least on workdays, any other time she would have gladly dragged frederick off to dance with her. however, the night was still young. sliding up to the clink-a-drink, she drummed her fingers against the counter as she waited for ophelia to notice her. once it became obvious she was preoccupied in her work, vic lightly cleared her throat to get her attention. ❝ i am so sorry. ❞ she couldn’t help but chuckle softly in response to the reaction. she’d only wanted to gain her attention, not give her poor co-worker a heart attack. ❝ uh, i think i’ll just have a sazerac. but stop me if i try to come back for more than two, please. ❞
“i can’t say im not impressed.” the male announced walking through tthe main entrance only to see how well everything was being put together. he’d been to many new years celebrations and each one was the same. he still went to everyone though hoping one might just be better than the last. “lets see if this one will really beat last years.” clyde moved forward until finally looking over at the figure he had been talking to. “what do you go for first? drinks or dancing?”
the brunette gave a small hum in response as her dark eyes scanned the surroundings for a particularly tall figure. for a small town, they did know how to throw a good celebration. having been used to big cities prior to living here, she quite liked the more personal feel they had. glancing over at his question, she smiled. ❝ that entirely depends on my mood, though typically ?? dancing. ❞ there were very few things she enjoyed more than it. then again, some days you just needed a drink. ❝ what about you ?? ❞

it me again with the messy intros, danielle. if you’d like to plot with my sarcastic girl, just shoot me a dm. i’m always down to plot here or discord !!
mid 50′s kid originally from sweden & the only child of a famous actress & movie producer.
her upbringing wasn’t exactly typical bc of that, her parents weren’t around very often. she’s one of those nanny raised kids. mommy & daddy issues hello.
she found solace in books & dance, however. her parents may have been absent but they always gave her the best teachers and resources available.
dance was her passion and what she wanted to spend her life doing, but not long after becoming a teen, her parents started taking more interest in her life and pushed her towards acting. the family business, y’know.
she had no desire to follow that path but she wasn’t about to deny the newfound attention either.
it went well for a time, but long story short, she bailed as soon as she was old enough. she moved to la and found a good deal of success, as both an actress and dancer.
she spent nearly a decade doing that before ending up in town. it never bothered her that much, she adapts well. however, it does bug her that she never got to finish the movie she was working on at the time...
she occasionally misses dancing and acting but actually enjoys bartending quite a bit. it’s different yet fun, she meets many colorful drunk people and gets to be an unlicensed psychiatrist.
her stats are here.
again, i may add more onto this later since i have a horrible schedule and habit of writing half asleep.
