open: gold & glitz

[inlaid]

who: Bryn Zethir & Guests
what: A Gold & Glitz House Party
when: Evening of June 1st
where: Bryn's apartment
warnings: Alcohol, tobacco, and weed.

[Welcome to Bryn's apartment. The door is unlocked, and personal belongings can be tossed up onto the bed just at the top of the stairs. The party's theme is apparent at once. As mentioned on the network post, gold and glitz is strongly encouraged (though no one will be turned away for lacking either) in clothing, jewelry, accessories, or however creatively someone would like to incorporate it. Those interested in participating but lacking anything gold or glitzy will find gold glitter body gel to spread on their skin, compliments of the hostess. There's a bar cart by the front door with a sign that reads WELCOME in gold script. It's laden with short shot glasses filled with what looks like liquid gold. When imbibed, however, it tastes like a faintly peach-flavored vodka. The rest of the alcohol and mixers can be found in the kitchen. Clear plastic cups feature labels that can be written on in gold permanent marker, then filled with any number of beverages. Really, there's no real rhyme or reason to what's available, as guests have been encouraged to bring whatever they like and add it to the kitchen island. For those who don't drink alcohol, there's a sign on the fridge indicating that non-alcoholic drinks and mixers are kept within. Anyone looking to fill their stomach a little between drinks will find platters of finger foods available throughout the apartment. Gold macarons, cheese and crackers, sliced fruit and vegetables are plentiful, but guests who are quick enough may find they can grab some of the thinly sliced beef arranged around a bowl of spicy dipping sauce. Of note, there is also a plate of gold fortune cookies for guests. While it's noted there's only enough for one per person, the fortunes feature not only a fortune but a party challenge. Dance with a stranger? Eat nothing that isn't fed to you? Try your hand at inventing a new drink? Why not try it and see what happens? Play a game of party jenga for that matter. Beyond all this, anyone attending is encouraged to mingle and enjoy themselves. There's ample seating throughout the apartment for people to sit back and enjoy their food and drinks, including a plush rug in one corner covered in floor cushions and pillows around a hookah with a variety of flavors of tobacco. For those who are more inclined to activity there's space enough to dance to the music that booms throughout the apartment. With the windows open the space stays well aired out and comfortable, inviting any who attend to linger as long as they like. By the looks of things the hostess has no intention of kicking anyone out no matter how late it gets...]

[ He adds to that fire on a daily basis, don't lie. He showers Jim with praise even when he's not fishing for any. And Jim loves it, of course. ]

Something like that. [ He nods, smiling at Bryn. Not quite three-quarters of his life, granted, but these days, he can't even tell the difference. The last few years of his life have been far more eventful and meaningful than the first two decades anyway, so to him that's what counts most. ]

These look great, Bryn. Thanks. [ And at least they're wearing something gold now. ] I'm sure whatever coffee you've got will beat our replicator rations, so I look forward to trying it out.

[Bryn closes up the paint and wraps up the paint brushes once it seems her job is done, and she flashes them both a pleased smile in return for their thanks.] It was my pleasure.

[The paint and brushes are put aside, tucked away where they won't be easily found by party guests, mostly to avoid any drunken mishaps dumping all of the gold paint all over her things. Smoothing her hands down her skirt she lays a hand on each of their arms and gently tugs them away from the kitchen.]

So, with coffee and breakfast set, and you two in theme with the party, all that's left is for you to enjoy it. I'm going to go play hostess a little while longer but you two go ahead and I'll catch up with you both a bit later on, okay?

Sounds like a plan. [The moment she touches his arm, he reflexively cups her elbow softly in response. Squeezing it softly, he lets go soon after and falls into spot next to Jim.]

Look forward to catchin' up later. [The doctor offers a smile then glances at Jim. His eyes get caught up tracing the gold lines over his face before finally catching his gaze.] If you want to go mingle I think I'm gonna go find a place to rest... gettin' too old for this shit.

[Even if they are words that should be angry or irritated, they're actually soft and warm. More so just tired and knowing Jim likes to talk and move around. And well, he's giving him that out.]
