MHA #2 | Friday Evening and probably onwards - the SECOND ANNUAL Christmas Rager!!

You know, they'd really outdone themselves. It had hardly seemed possible, and yet, here it was: an even tackier Christmas party, somehow.

There were plastic, glowing snowmen in every corner of the apartment, along with small Christmas trees pre-strung with lights and tinsel but accompanied by little boxes of ornaments so guests could decorate themselves, should they so choose. There was an arts and crafts corner set up in the guest room, just below a yarn wall of time-travel craziness. There was music playing for the moment, but a karaoke machine set up for later, after drinking. There was a table of presents, with little, 'FOR ANYONE, LOVE SANTA' tags attached. There was a small platter of cookies in the kitchen with nearby icing and sprinkles for guests to decorate as they choose, because let's just mash all the Christmas party themes into one, okay? Let's just do it.

And there was alcohol. There was so, so much alcohol. There were several kegs (filled, of course, with Christmas ale), Annie's extremely alcoholic wassail, and every extremely moddable mixer and liquor under the sun. And, most importantly -- like, so important that they literally had a spotlight -- there was a table of Summer's jello shots.

As if that were not enough, there was snow falling indoors, thanks to a certain neighbor with an affinity for red, and a drone circling the party with a big, unmistakable sprig of mistletoe suspended from it. The Drone Mistle. Because Christmas puns.

[it's all up! open to ALL adults, and students are welcome to try to crash if they'd like!]

But had he talked to Five?

"Fair enough," Will decided. Mostly because he couldn't exactly throw stones. Or Christmas cookies.

Talking to Five, by himself, would be enough for one party.

"Have you also talked to five people?" Steve teased, sipping from his glass of punch.

“You know,” Will said, mentally tallying everyone he’d spoken to tonight. “As it happens, yes.”

And now he was just suspiciously eyeing the crowd in case one of the Burkes had somehow managed to find their way to the island and subsequently the party. Totally normal.

"Did you throw a drink at one of 'em?" Steve asked, "or are you looking for that damn drone?"

"I did not throw a drink at anyone," Will informed him. "And if that drone comes near here I'm diving out of the way. No offense."

Sorry Steve, you were taken and so was he you also weren't Connor Rhodes, there would be no kissing.

"None taken, though I will have you know that no one has ever complained about kissing me," Steve said.
doctorgingerspice: (arguing)

"No, but there's probably a few people who'd complain about you kissing me," Will pointed out.

"Yeah, but he likes to complain," Steve said, grinning. "Give him something new to yell about that isn't the clownfish I glued to his shirt."

"That was your handiwork?" Will said, because even surrounded by plenty of other outlandish shirts, that one had stood out. "I'd say you have a future in fashion, but..."

Well, actually, there clearly was a market for that sort of thing, as this party proved.

"I have a vision," Steve said, snickering and ruining it.

"I don't know, there's some people who might be concerned about the state of your vision," Will retorted.

"They are not artists," Steve said, nodding.

“I’m just looking forward to the day your designs are on the runway in… Paris? Or wherever. And I can be like, I know that guy, he’s a Navy SEAL in addition to being a fashion visionary,” Will snickered.

“Like an onion,” Will agreed with a nod.
