Log; Ev's Welcome Back Party x) [ INCOMPLETE... forever, most likely ]

When; Today (July 29th)
Rating; Oh lord, you never know what's going to happen.
Characters; Well. The whole city if they want to join in.
Summary; Zack's throwing Ev a Returning To the City Party and, well. There's alcohol?
Note; So yeah, I decided to have one of these up anyways. So here's how it's gonna work. I'm stealing Shahni's idea with putting on the Subject Line who you want to talk to in specific. So, if you're wanting to talk to Zack, you put something like [ ATTN: Zack ] on the subject line. Pretty easy, right?

If you want to talk to just anyone and it's open and free for all, put [ ATTN: All ] on the subject line. Or something on those lines. And yeah, click "reply to this" and not "post a new comment" when you want to talk to someone in specific if the thread asks for you. It'll get confusing otherwise.

So yeah, join in if you want. If not? That's cool too, I just wanted to give the option to those who don't mind doing something random. ♥ And pls to be forgiving my intro post. I just woke up, after all.

Log;

So this whole party thing was pretty cool so far. The Host Club kids came to his place and started setting things up in the morning, and they all seemed like such good sports (and a lot of help, too) and were doing a pretty damn good job with everything so far.

Sure, there were a few... very small accidents here and there, but that was mainly Zack's fault since he didn't know where to put himself half of the time. The couch was his new best friend for the first few hours after that.

But soon things were set up and ready to go all thanks to them, and Zack had taken the liberty to give them all hugs before the flow of people started coming in.

Now while his place wasn't exactly huge, it was big enough to throw a party. And as Zack said once, if things got too crowded there was always the hallway to parade in, especially since it would just gather more attention and Zack, for one, loved attention. Especially if it involved people getting together like this and being able to meet new faces. Thus why it wasn't a small party, like, well, welcome back parties should be.

And things were finally picking up, quicker than he thought, actually. Maybe he should have thought about doing it outside, but did Zack ever take anyone's advice? Oh no. Not at all. But it wasn't overly crowded since he prodded some people outside in the hall where there were plenty things set up there as well.

Zack looked extremely pleased as violet eyes circled around towards the mini crowd he had going in and out, waving and saying loud “hello!”s over people's heads as he either passed out drinks or ran to go talk to random bits of friends here and there.

"No," he responded, just as quietly. Without another word, he handed Evelynne a bottle of water and took her glass instead, waiting for anything she might say about it.

With a little effort, he also managed to ignore Light until he could make himself believe that he would not be too harsh in a conversation with the college student.

With a pointed glare, she took the water bottle from him, knowing this was just common procedure for the two. The sooner the water was gone, the sooner she'd get her...well, this time, she would choose the drink she wanted. "Well, you better have something other than water tonight."

What was with Sunny? Light ignored her sidelong glance, and greeted Amadeus as if he had seen nothing. "Did you just arrive?" He asked conversationally, not really caring for the answer. The air was definitely too tense for something as light as party conversation. Amadeus could have been in a bad mood before coming to the party, but Light doubted it. Something was up.

Without looking over to Light, Amadeus shook his head once, almost imperceptibly. Making conversation with people he was not comfortable with was just another fact of life he had become used to. "No, I arrived with Evelynne." He glanced over at her, raising an eyebrow. "She disappeared on me as soon as we got in though," he said as casually as possible.

Light gave a noncommittal nod, before turning to glance at all on the couch, watching no one in particular. All of Light's attempts at conversation had been thwarted, so he kept silent for a while. It was amazing how these few people could be grumpy while a party raged around them.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a lady (Who was that? Blonde?) wave at them. He ignored it, guessing it was more for Evelynne than the rest of them.

The woman who was approaching regarded everyone sitting on the couch with an easygoing smile. Any actions or motives which could have been perceived as suspicious were hidden behind her sociable countenance and a grin that could make the sphinx weep with envy. She cocked her head in the direction of the brunette bartender with a wink.

"This... is the infamous Evelynne." she announced to Elena.

Raising and tipping her cup as a gesture of greeting, Elena gave the group on the couch a small grin, presenting herself as being sociable. She was, of course, but she knew she wouldn't relax until she got a feel for the ones she didn't know.

"Nice to be able to put a face with a name," Elena greeted out loud. Moving her eyes, Elena gave the only person she did know a full out smile. "It's nice to see you again Sunny. Enjoying yourself?"

Still not in the partying mood, Evelynne ignored Amadeus' indirect accusation (wasn't her fault that he couldn't keep up) and went for a roll of the eyes at the introduction. "Infamous. I hope not. Last thing I need is a reputation."

On a glance down, she noticed that she had, in fact, managed to down the water in less time than she thought. Which only meant one thing.

"Right. I'm going for a third. Or a second. Or whatever one I'm on," she said dismissively, standing up.

Sunny regarded Elena with slight surprise, then amusement. Another woman, an armed woman was there.

"No." the assassin answered flatly. "But that's normal." She punctuated the sentence with a slight smile, and part of her felt relieved.

...Until Ev-san had announced that she was leaving. So long as that new guy didn't follow, it was fine, but since it was better to be safe than sorry, Sunny decided it was better to tag along with the older woman.

"I'm going too."

"Unless you happen to be competing in a body count it seems," Elena quipped back. Let people think what they wanted. Truth was, killing monsters was fun and Elena enjoyed it.

Hearing the idea for a re-fill, Elena eyed her own cup. It was approaching saddening levels and a second cup of her own was in order. "You sound like a woman with the right idea," Elena replied to Ev statement with a small grin. "Hope you don't mind if I join you as well. I'm getting into the dry zone and that just isn't right."

A near-audible ellipsis went where Ev normally would've said something. On one hand, she had no idea who this other blonde with the guns was. On the other, Sunny didn't even like alcohol. And then there was the given that Amadeus would probably catch up eventually, unless he got sidetracked by someone else's conversation.

"I--ah, whatever. As long as they have something other than whatever this shit was," she muttered, giving a none-too-friendly glare at the empty glass as she headed towards...wherever the drinks happened to be.

Watching Elena and Sunny head in search of the bar, Hal eyed her lonely glass and joined the quest.

"Hey girls, wait for me~" she called out, assimilating quickly into the group. While she felt some slight remorse for Evelynne's loss of privacy, it was funny going around like some of impromptu entourage for the woman.

What was this? Did people think she wasn't going to come back or something? All she was doing was getting a drink. Ev couldn't guess what the heck was going on, especially with these Charlie's Angels shindig-entourage-posse.

"Guys," she started, not taking any note of the gender difference in the word, "I'm not leaving or anything. You know that, right?"

Light kept quiet during the exchange, finding it much more amusing to watch then join in. He laughed slightly, before speaking to Amadeus in an amused tone. "Evelynne is much more popular than she says."

Watching the others go, Amadeus allowed himself a bare smile. "She never realizes it herself, but she made herself much more known in this city when she first arrived here." He turned to Light, a short gesture of the hands to take the place of a shrug. "Evelynne has always been the social one."

Light nodded, as he took a small sip of his own drink. "I guess her personality is... magnetic." He wanted to add on 'blunt', but he felt the word was too negative, albeit true.

Light watched Evelynne and her groupies, paying particular attention to Hal. There was something about her act that set off warning bells. "Do you know her? The lady with long blonde hair?" He asked suddenly.

Magnetic would never have been the word Amadeus would have used, especially knowing that Evelynne had been a forward person since he had first met her. At the very least, she was hardly popular among most social circles back in their school years, though she was never really considered anyone's enemy.

The reference to Hal, however sudden it was, only brought out a curious glance from Amadeus. "I've spoken with her on one or two occasions," he answered. "Why do you ask?"

"She seems to know Evelynne and you very well." Light stared at his cup, as he thought of what he could say. "I think Hal and I are from the same place. She knows -ah, a friend of mine." Friend wasn't a good way to describe his relationship with L, but it would do. There was no need to tell Amadeus everything. His moment of seriousness over, he looked directly at Amadeus with a small smile. "I don't think we get along too well, for some reason."

"I would not say we know each other well," Amadeus said carefully, thoughtfully looking at the ceiling. "As with anyone else in this city, we are passing acquaintances, in the end." He looked over at Light again, a genuinely concerned tone to his voice. "Though I imagine you may meet her back home? Has something happened that gives you such an impression?"

"Our last conversation didn't go along too well." Light said casually, watching no one in particular. "I know a friend of hers doesn't like me too much either." Light leaned over towards the end of the couch, and propped himself up with his fist.

Turning back to face Amadeus, he added, "I don't think we'll ever meet, seeing how we're on opposite ends of the globe." Light smiled, before taking another drink.

"Strange that there are so many that seem to dislike you," Amadeus observed, attempting to take an objective perspective. Though it was moderately troublesome to know the reason already, he asked, "Do you have any idea why that would be?" He could at least trust himself to sound reasonably uninformed.

Light shrugged. "I just know Evelynne thinks my personality shifts too much." Now that he really thought of it, he couldn't explain why so many people seemed to dislike him. He could understand Evelynne (since she had kindly said why) and Hal (sort of), but it didn't explain the random expletives that Matt always sent his way. It seemed Sunny disliked him now too.

[So where are the ladies posse?]

"Evelynne tends to be like that," Amadeus replied in an effort to explain something he only knew from watching her with others. "She expects people to be more honest than they are, regardless of the fact that most would not be honest, even if they were alone in a room." The concept sounded wrong. In order to remedy it, he quickly added, "Her brand of suspicion is never an ill one, if it's any reassurance."

(OOC: Ev-mun says Sunny-mun's on it.)

"It's perfectly alright, there's no need to explain." Light said easily with a smile. "Although, I don't see what she thinks I would lie about."

[dur. Short. DX]

Here, Amadeus let a wry smile slip. "Who knows? Evelynne can think the strangest things at times," he said, screwing and unscrewing the cap on his bottle of water absentmindedly. "Truthfully - and I say this often - she surprises me half the time, despite how long we've known each other."

(OOC: Same here.)
