Everyone raise your glasses!

When; Evening of Tuesday, August 13th
Rating; PG-13, at best. Angela's on her best behavior tonight.
Characters; It's Ginny's birthday party and everybody Ginny knows was invited. Let's handwave that and just show up. BTW, IT'S BLACK TIE. PUT ON YOUR SUITS, BOYS.
Summary; There's no legal drinking age in the City, but who says we can't party like there was one anyway?
Log;

This party was four years coming. The restaurant has set aside a large room just for this event and on short notice too. The food is plentiful and of various cuisines, with even a large selection of vegetarian options for those who prefer that. But of course, there is more alcohol than one has ever seen because Angela knows the people she invited and knows quite a few of them have liquor in their veins instead of blood. Rule of thumb: more liquid than solids every time.

Everything's set and ready for the birthday girl to make her appearance, so for the time being, Angela's flitting around the place dressed in more subdued colors than usual, choosing black because no one gets to stand out more than Ginny tonight, and socializing with the few guests that have shown up already.

Sadly, there are no strippers. Ginny nixed that one hard.

"I know. But, why wouldn't he tell me? If they are. I don't... care. I just, I want to understand it. If he needs to talk about something, I'm there and I don't think he's going to. It's like our friendship is off balance." And then he pauses, realizing he's talking to Isaac Lahey about Stiles. Both of those two have issues with one another. "Sorry, I didn't mean to - you asked. Don't tell Lydia. Not that you're going to."

[outofthefreezer]

He just puts his hands up in a sort of 'surrender' gesture. "Not my place, Scott. Talk to Stiles, I don't know... don't ask Derek though, he might uh.. yeah that's just not a path you should go down."

[affectioning]

"I wasn't going to. I don't even know what I would say." No, unless something was confirmed, then he'd say something. Maybe, don't hurt his best friend. "Maybe my mom's just seeing into things. They're different here. It's been a year."

[outofthefreezer]

He nods in agreement. "Yeah, I mean if I was stuck with Derek for a year I'd be acting pretty weird too..." He didn't mean it to sound quite so insulting but whatever.

[affectioning]

"And now I want another drink." He looks at Isaac, raises an eyebrow. "Think we can find some water around here?" Or soda. Or, fine, more champagne.

[outofthefreezer]

Isaac smiles, he'd barely touched his drink, it was wine and he was drinking it because it still had a nice taste. "Might as well fit in and stick to the alcohol, its not like it can do anything." He'll just cast an eye about the place because they were out of earshot but Scott may shout at him again because of werewolf things.

[affectioning]

"I already had two glasses." Or, three. And his mom clearly caught him at some point. Whatever. No turning back. He can't even get drunk. Isaac has a point. "Let's find another."

[outofthefreezer]

He follows Scott over to where the drinks are, having a gulp of his wine because they'd been talking for a long time. "Hey we should encourage people to try drink us under the table." Because more than anything that would be hilarious.

[affectioning]

"Why?" What's fun about that? This is the blandly moral Scott McCall!

[outofthefreezer]

Isaac rolls his eyes because blandly moral can be substituted for plain bland. "Nevermind."

[affectioning]

"We should keep the act up. We're normal teenagers who can drink two much and make asses of ourselves." It's a role he's willing to play. But, it's also why he hasn't overconsumed.

[outofthefreezer]

"If anyone asks I'll just say getting drunk makes me sick..." Because he wasn't going to act like an idiot, he'd just visibly not drink.

[affectioning]

"Say anything. Just, not what really happens."

[outofthefreezer]

Isaac just nods because he wasn't going through the whole 'People knowing you're a werewolf is bad' conversation again. "Obviously, I mean it'd be kinda hard to explain..."
