The song comes to an end ((open thread))

For the general public, tonight the Caritas is closed.

For those who have a special invitation however -- there is a party to attend. And the bar is decked out with every single decoration in the world. There are helium balloons floating up by the roof, in all sorts of colors. And we mean all the colors. There are plaid balloons up there!

There are dozens of candles decorating each table. And these candles fire off little tiny explosions of fireworks every half hour.

There is a bubble machine and a fog machine by the dance floor, so people can mix it up and have fun. There is every kind of beverage (even the 'rich red' for vampires) at the bar.

And right now Lorne is on the stage, belting out a song to "Memory".

((here is the deal -- this is a mixed interaction thread. NPCs will interact with everyone who posts, but I encourage others to interact as well. There will be a point when a major plot point will occur, and hopefully I can bring everyone into a posting order))

The last time Harry went to a party like this was in Bizarro Chicago, and this is way less weirdly tense. And has a distinct lack of psychic kittens playing with his bootlaces. He nods slightly in approval at the decor, and wanders over towards the punch bowl.

Jack Harkness is thoroughly enjoying himself the moment he arrives. He loves parties, and this one has a multitude of familiar faces to flirt with. This is a celebration he can absolutely get behind, and it's almost a vicarious experience for him, since apparently he's never going to have a "last party" for anything, himself.

Clark's always been a bit of a wallflower at this sort of event, but he's doing his best to mingle.

Shasta is here with Spike. While there is no sign of the peroxide-blonde at the moment -- there is no mistaking his wife. She is wearing a see-through black lace dress for the evening.

She notices Jack first. Even without seeing him for a while, she makes her way through the crowd to come up to him first.

"Hello handsome."
fractured_agent: (Shameless flirt)

[personal profile] fractured_agent 2015-04-18 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Jack smiles at her. "Hey there, beautiful. It's been a while." A lot longer, for him.

"Too long." Shasta leans in to give him a kiss. On the lips.

"How have you been?"

After a few hours of the party... Lorne takes the stage
nonvillainouscipher: (Brooding)

[personal profile] nonvillainouscipher 2015-04-18 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
Cipher Nine is currently seated at one of the tables, just listening to Lorne sing for the time being. There's something bittersweet about the festivities tonight; he knows they're here to celebrate Lorne's life, but at the same time, the knowledge that Lorne isn't long for this world puts a slight damper on things for him. Nonetheless, he's doing his best not to let it get to him too much, at least for now.

Ed, meanwhile, is people-watching from a spot atop a different table, a can of Coke in hand, smiling a little at the various goings-on. While he, too, is aware this is a 'last party', he finds the experience far easier to cope with than a traditional funeral. The funerals he's attended have always been melancholy affairs, more about mourning a loss than celebrating a life well-lived. The former have always been emotionally draining; the latter, not so much. This is easier. Not by much, but easier.

[personal profile] kalel_ofkrypton 2015-04-18 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Mind if I join you?" Clark asks Cipher Nine.
nonvillainouscipher: (Calm/Slight smile)

[personal profile] nonvillainouscipher 2015-04-18 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Cipher Nine smiles at Clark and nods, nudging the nearest empty chair away from the table a bit. "Not at all."
kalel_ofkrypton: (Can you run that by me again?)

[personal profile] kalel_ofkrypton 2015-04-18 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Clark takes the offered seat, and sets his drink down on the table. "How've you been? I haven't seen you in a while." Small talk is a bit strange right now, given the circumstances, but he figures maybe it's better than the alternative.

[personal profile] fmalchemist160 2015-04-18 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)

[personal profile] victormakesart 2015-04-19 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Victor's doing her best to keep it together. For Lorne's sake. She's wearing a nice charcoal gray suit with a sky blue button-up with the top button undone, in a fretful attempt to look casual. The line of her suit is disrupted a bit by her leg braces underneath.

For people who can read Victor, she's tense, and she's white-knuckling her black plastic cane. Which she mostly brought so that she'd have something to do with her hands besides biting her nails, which are ragged again despite her attempts to stop. No makeup, so the scar on her face shows up in stark relief, and her cuffs show scar tissue on her wrists so thick that she can't even feel when someone touches her skin there.
victormakesart: (Default)

[personal profile] victormakesart 2015-04-19 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hey, honey," she says, limping slightly to give her a gentle hug. "Yeah. Wouldn't miss it."

Jack can see she looks like she's been running herself ragged, but he wants to try to help ease that stress a bit, if he can. "It's been a while. Kids all right?"

After a few hours, and lots of partying and socializing, there comes a moment when Lorne returns back to the stage. He gestures for the music to be turned down, and steps up to the microphone.

"Okay Ladies and Gents... I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have you all in my life. You will all be in my heart."

"The Caritas will always be here for you all... no matter what. And don't worry loves, I will be here in Spirit no matter what."

Wes and Spike come out of the back area, and one of them comes up to the stage to whisper in Lorne's ears. He smiles softly. "And yes... and now for the great news. My friends have discovered a way to ensure that The Three won't bother anyone. Who wants to help me?"

"Always," Victor says. With her emotions dampened, she's able to smile (only a little sadly) up at him. But it's better than being stuck in the rut of trying to save him up until the last moment, stuck in a vortex of denial.

Jack's been out of the loop for a while, so he doesn't know who the Three are, but any enemies of his friends are enemies of his. "Sure, why not?" Harry nods in agreement.

"What do we need to do?" Clark asks.
