Location: The New MukuRhode apartment in Murder Manor
Rating: G-PG
Time: December 31; 8 PM - 1 AM, or whenever people decide to go home...
Description: It's a housewarming party and a New Year party wrapped into one big celebration!

They hadn't bothered with much decoration, though Rhode had insisted on a bit of shiny garland around the doorframe so people would know exactly where they were supposed to come. Mukuro had bought champagne (and stronger things, for the guests who preferred them) and Rhode had made sure they had a nice little setup of sweets and fruit, including some cake and tarts she'd baked herself. After some struggle, she'd even asked Mukuro to help her figure out how to turn on the stereo for the sake of having atmosphere music.

The leftmost bedroom door is shut, but the rest of the apartment has been left open to nosy guests!

[OPEN AND A MILLION YEARS LATE, AFTER MIDNIGHT]

[frissonic.livejournal.com]

[Hm...as far as liquor goes, Bansai usually goes for stronger sake, but he's finding that the glass of champagne he has instead is interesting enough to hold his favor. Perhaps, something stronger in a bit.

His eyes are wandering across the party, doing more people watching than any actual talking. The fact that he's still wearing sunglasses and headphones at this time of night may be a little odd to most. Not to mention the fact that even with all the background noise, coming close enough to the musician indicates that he's listening to his own tracks at quite a loud volume, loud enough to bleed out.

Feel free to bother him, though. He seems in good enough spirits.]

[ Rhode's starting to get awfully tired, being up so far past her usual bedtime and all that, but she's still doing her best to be a good hostess to all of their guests. She was standing in the kitchen, watching people talk and stifling yawns when she noticed that odd man she met once on the network idling around. He's by himself, which she doesn't think is very social or party-like of him, so she reaches up to put several flavors of the pastries she made on a plate and wanders over to him, holding the plate out in a vaguely demanding way. ]

Would you like tarts to go with that? We can't eat all of these by ourselves.

[frissonic.livejournal.com]

[Well, he certainly couldn't be rude and refuse when she's looking at him like that, now can he.]

Why thank you, young miss. I appreciate it.

[He selected one that didn't look like it would be too sweet, placing on a napkin in his free hand.]

I do hope we are not keep you up too late.

[suchselfishness]

You should. I made them all.

[ Not trying to be rude at all, smiling as if she's just said the nicest thing possible to him. ]

I want to stay up. It's the new year, after all, and I want to watch everything.

[ Especially her partner and his 'friend,' who she's giving a very pointed glance as she talks about watching people. ]

[frissonic.livejournal.com]

I am sure that was quite the task.

[Having done his fair share of cooking and baking, he would know.]

That is understandable, especially in your own home. I do hope you are having a good time.

[suchselfishness]

Oh, yes. It took all day.

[ And she played video games while it was all in the oven, but that's not really important. ]

Mm-hm, I am! We haven't had a party before, so it's the first time we have all our friends in one place.

[frissonic.livejournal.com]

Then I will be sure to enjoy every bite, I daresay.

[Details, details~ He's going to make a display of showing how much he likes that first bite, too.]

It is an honor to be counted among them. I did not think I would get invited to any parties.

[suchselfishness]

[ She can't even hide how pleased she is that he likes it, smirk turning into a glowing little smile. ]

Well, I don't know you terribly well, but if Mukuro invited you then he must like you! He has a few errors in his judgment, but most of our friends are nice enough.

[frissonic.livejournal.com]

[He does so like to see that smile there.]

Ah, well hopefully with time, we can change that small fact, I daresay. I will be certain that it does not become a regretful decision.

[Allies were good, after all.]

[suchselfishness]

A gentleman like you, wanting to get to know a useless young girl? That's a bit unusual, don't you think?

[ Even though all of her friends are older men, and she doesn't socialize with people her own age (nicely, at least.) She's just being contrary. ]

[frissonic.livejournal.com]

Perhaps, though I imagine if you were against it, you would have walked away already.

[He's not that kind of creeper...really.]

[suchselfishness]

If I were against it, I wouldn't be giving you treats. That, or they'd make you awfully sick later. But you haven't given me a reason to dislike you yet.

[ She has the most angelic little smile to match those words, in the most disturbing sort of way. ]

[frissonic.livejournal.com]

It sounds like you have the potential to be quite the little troublemaker.

[It also sounds like that doesn't bother him in the slightest.]

Well, I am a guest in your home. It would be incredibly inconsiderate of me to go and do such a thing.

[suchselfishness]

Me? Never.

[ Though a simple look back at some of her past shows on the network would disprove that lie in an instant. Beating up on children her own size and coming up with awful tricks are just so nice, compared to being bored and useless. ]

It would be, wouldn't it. Pity that some people here don't know how to be a good guest.

[frissonic.livejournal.com]

[He just makes an amused sound, but doesn't correct her.]

Well, if anyone gives you any trouble, I would be happy to teach them a lesson in decency.

[suchselfishness]

Trouble? Any specific sort?

[ She has someone particular in mind, but of course her partner wouldn't be happy with her if she did try to make anything bad happen to him. ]

Or any sort that's off-limits, I guess...

[karmafree.livejournal.com]

[Sidling up to, with a drink ready.]

I'm so glad you could make it.

[frissonic.livejournal.com]

[His eyes turn sideways as the man slides up beside him, and he nods once.]

I appreciate the invitation. I daresay I am not entirely used to parties, though.

[What is mingling~?]

[karmafree.livejournal.com]

Oya? But we're dealing with them all the time at the Danse, are we not?

[frissonic.livejournal.com]

[Heh.]

My job does not require me to do much interaction with the patrons of the club.

[He taps his headphones; he tends to hide in them, in such a crowded place.]

But yes, I see your point.

[karmafree.livejournal.com]

This crowd is rather mild, in fact. [Leaning back.] So. Excited for the new year?

[frissonic.livejournal.com]

Yes, compared to the club, this is rather tame.

[He says it in a way that makes it clear he much prefers it that way.]

It is bound to be an interesting one, I daresay. Things never seem to stay too dull in this place. And yourself?

[karmafree.livejournal.com]

I suppose I am as excited as one such as myself could be.

[frissonic.livejournal.com]

[He nods in understanding.]

As far as the actual event of New Years Day itself, I never found it something that particularly needed celebrating. You could call any day the start of a new year if it pleased you, after all.

[The idea of starting fresh or anew was all in the mind, in the end.]

[karmafree.livejournal.com]

Still, people need an excuse to let loose, don't they? Silly things.
