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.

Hide me.

[ Sliding behind Harry, Jim traps himself between the ensign and the wall, backed up in a corner with his beer. He pats him on the shoulder bracingly. ]

I need five minutes away from everyone who wants to shove me into a suit so I can finish my drink in peace, you're hired.

[ Well, this is awkward. He glances over his shoulder at the captain ducking behind him, then around the room. These are not situations he expected to find himself in when he was sitting in Starfleet history class at the Academy. He tries to look perfectly dignified and subtle as he addresses Kirk through the gritted teeth of his smile. ]

This seems like a lot of effort to go to not to wear a suit.

It's not about the damn suit, it's about avoiding everyone with a stick up their ass.

[ Oh God, it's good to take a swig and not get harangued at the same time. Bliss. Harry Kim is a hero, ladies and gents. ]

So! Enjoying the party?

[valedictory]

Understood.

[ He laughs over the end of the word and for a moment afterward, quietly. After all, can't draw too much attention to himself when he's serving such an important duty. ]

I am, actually. Chakotay suggested I tag along - seemed like a good enough way to spend an evening in an anomaly.
