spotting ricky amongst the crowd, finally, henrie made their way swiftly to his side. while the evening had been actually been going well for her, henrie knew that their mood could actually flip on a dime. ❛ hey ! ❜ the other was someone that henrie was actually at ease with. the glittering grin upon seeing him fell into a mock hurt expression for a moment, ❛ and what if i started crying right now ? ❜ and then back was the smile. ❛ you think that get up is much better ? ❜ they tease motioning to his clothes.

it wasn't like inez to really limit themselves at events such as these. they also usually had a natural pause at some point, saving her from a right nasty hang over. and there she was with a full shot glass in between fingers, pondering about bringing it to their lips.❛ i think i lost all real rational thought about ten minutes ago, ❜ a chuckle falling. this was an environment that inez felt comfortable in, tonight being no different. the offer of a sip had them reaching over to sample. ❛ hm, yeah i'm getting a little hint. some of these drinks are pretty intricate. ❜

if it was an emotion that sloane felt as a constant, it was some form of guilt. not a trait one should harbor, though it rooted deep in her stomach. it had belonged there before she'd caused the rift between she and luciana. she had never been naive enough to believe that her actions didn't have consequences and in this instance she truly was remorseful for the line she had crossed with them. ❛ fair enough, ❜ words slipping softly through the gentlest of laughs. ❛ no, not you, of course. ❜ although there was some layer of discomfort with them, it was not to that level. ❛ not so much of a party girl anymore. very lame, i know. ❜

luciana is the kind of person who likes to nurture her grudges as she would a friendship. while she doesn't think of sloane as her nemesis, things have been strained between them ever since the younger actress danced the horizontal tango with her ex. despite the fact that luciana's relationship with toby was already over when it happened, she couldn't help feeling like some unspoken friendship code was broken at the time and though she's completely over it now, the trust was never fully restored. 〝 no, that's a cop-out response, 〞 she rolls her eyes, foot stomping against the floor. 〝 besides, i'd vote for you and your baby daddy. so, you'd get booted off the island anyway, 〞 she scoffs, gazing at her nails as if they were the most interesting thing in the universe. still, her lips curve in the echo of a smile that betrays no bitterness. 〝 why do you sound like you'd rather not be here ? oh, wait, 〞 hand clutches her chest in feigned offense, 〝 is it me ? 〞

a soft blush started to creep over her cheeks as they spoke, henrie bit into her bottom lip to keep the dopey grin from completely taking over their entire face. ❛ you're kinda smooth. anyone ever tell ya that ? it's gotta be one of the reasons your fans are crazy about you. ❜ the grin filling more of their face as teddy continued. ❛ oh wow, that's super awesome. i've been thinking of donating to a couple more places, i'll have to check that one out. ❜

"that's an admirable cause. so, you're gorgeous and generous. i get why your stans are crazy about you," he comments, shamelessly flirting as usual. "i donated to a charity that's gonna provide financial support for underprivileged communities in the philippines. it's a cause that's really close to my heart."

the second her agent told her she was attending this event, sloane had sworn she'd leave the second she could sneak away. showing her face here and there, pulling on a faux smile to make her presence known before she dipped out the back. the woman had already felt as though she had stayed past her welcome, though plenty of people had continued to talk her ear off, keeping sloane in attendance. finding the first lull, she ducked out the first open door in view. a lump in her throat forming the second she laid eyes on brandon. meaning to turn on her heels before he could see it was her, she felt frozen in her spot. ❛ oh, um yeah. i was more thinking of getting the hell out of here, ❜ words slipping as her legs were still locked in place.

       it's  no  surprise  that  he's  taking  a  breather.  some  parties  are  better  than  others  when  it  comes  to  feeling  like  a  job,  ones  where  it's  easy  for  him  to  flip  the  switch,  but  this  one  is  proving  to  be  difficult  for  him.  the  air  outside  is  cool  enough  to  where  he  can  feel  the  flush  from  the  alcohol  starting  to  fade.  he  startles,  hearing  someone  near  him.  "shit,  sorry."  a  nervous  laugh  escapes,  and  he  looks  over  to  the  other.  "this  is  a  nice  little  area  if  you  need  a  break."  he'll  leave ...  if  they  need  him  to.

sloane also was not the biggest fan of being surrounded by inebriated individuals. she hadn't been intoxicated in damn near a decade, since brooke was born. and in turn, her tolerance for drunken antics was diminishing more and more as event passed her by. her gaze travelled from each and every party attendee and the liquid in their cups. taking stock in the possible colors they'd see by the end of the evening. ❛ i can just imagine the smell. sickly sweet and very over powering. i'm sure we won't have to wait too long, people getting sloppier as things go. ❜

 if  there’s  anything  about  cordelia  is  that  she  will  never  pretend  to  like  something  and  especially  not  a  party  ;  her  eyes  were  hurting  from  the  amount  of  white  and  the  remixes  made  her  head  pound  so  she’s  been  stuck  in  the  corner  for  the  past  few  minutes  ,  finishing  a  glass  of  champagne  and  she  definitely  lost  the  count  of  how  many  it  was  already  .  “  i  hope  for  like  …  five  reds  and  maybe  some  pink  and  oranges  with  all  those  colorful  drinks  .  and  honestly  ,  they  should  hurry  ⸺  at  least  then  it  would  be  some  kind  of  entertainment  .  ”

❛ fair enough, ❜ she replies with a soft smile and a shrug of their own. henrie wasn't opposed to them, as long as there wasn't such intense sounds thrown around. hands reaching up to collect all their hair from the base of her neck to let the breeze sweep through and cool her down. ❛ depends on the party. something smaller is more my style. how about you ? ❜

━━  ♥  “ everyone  is  quite  the  hyperbole. ”  she  shrugged,  a  bit  of  humor  dripping  from  her  words.  the  night  air  makes  everything  clearer  in  a  way,  far  away  from  lights  and  thumping  ( awful )  music.  “ do  you  like  parties  then? ”

inez shakes their head slightly, ❛ can't lie, i was a dedicated tvd fan, helplessly in love with miss caroline forbes and miss bonnie bennett. ❜ those salvatore brothers never did a thing for them, the brooding as frankly quite irritating. ❛ i don't think lesbians were the target demographic either, but they did us a favor in whatever season they brought in mary louise and nora. rip. missing them right about now, ❜ a hand crossed over their heart. a hearty chuckle falling at teddy's comment, ❛ a gift and a curse right ? ❜ a wide eyed expression pulling onto their features, ❛ we got to get you into some writers rooms or something, you gotta get my sequel, t. ❜

"nah." he wasn't in the age demographic for most of the show's run (14+ years old, apparently, if you look it up) but there were people close to their age who were fans of the show anyway. so instead, he explains it by gesturing to himself and going, "straight boy in elementary to high school when the show was airing. not exactly the target audience." he laughs, saying, "see, i'm trying to lean into matt being annoying. but apparently, people like my take on matt. ugh... can't help being so charismatic." they say, "imagine if you get a sequel. i know the original movie wasn't meant for a sequel, but your reboot could be. your character — needy, right? — could be like a demon version of sidney prescott."

inez barely contained the near blinding eye roll that her words were demanding. they weren't about to let the likes of cordelia deniran sour the entirety of their evening ( even with the grating of her voice. ❛ god forbid you do something for someone other than yourself, ❜ they quip with a soft tilt of their chin. this side of inez was not typical, in fact, it was only reserved for a few people. cordi hadn't always been on the opposite end of it, they'd been friendly before. when that ended, they weren't entirely sure, but now all of their interactions were dripping with hostility. ❛ 'm good actually. if you have such a problem then you can go. ❜

 brows  slightly  frowning  before  she  clicks  her  tongue  ,  a  snarky  smile  on  her  lips  and  she  just  shakes  her  head  ,  something  barely  noticeable  unless  paid  close  attention  .  “  and  make  you  happy  ?  this  sounds  miserable  .  ”  she  only  remembers  glimpses  of  when  they  used  to  be  friends  ,  when  they  used  to  talk  without  throwing  insults  at  each  other  and  leaving  the  second  one  of  them  enters  the  room  ;  now  they  indirect  each  other  on  twitter  at  least  once  a  month  ,  striking  the  other’s  nerve  every  time  .  “  how  about  you  go  back  to  where  you  crawled  from  ,  somehow  you  managed  to  not  get  in  my  way  for  the  last  three  hours  ,  yeah  ?  ”

sloane refused to attend any event that her attendance wasn't demanded ( by any of the frivolous reasons her agent listed ). while these parties demanded a certain act on her part, acting as if she wasn't totally miserable. her current performance wasn't winning her any oscars by any means, but she still had a rather pleasant expression resting over her features. body stiffened slightly as luci's presence was noticed. ❛ can i vote myself twice ? ❜ the self-deprecation coming easy to her when the other was around.

the manor is pulsating with lively music, setting the tone for an evening of networking and celebration. the clinking of glasses competes with the sound of industry chatter and the giant banners flaunting binge-worthy offerings are reminders that the event is corporate entertainment at its finest ── she wonders who'll be the first brave rogue soul to break corporate decorum. she shuffles over, popping a canapé into her mouth. 〝 honesty hour, 〞 mischievous tone announces, body leaning in towards the other, 〝 if this was big brother, what two people would you vote for eviction ? 〞

henrie always felt out of their depth at events like these, doing much better in a smaller environment, preferably one-on-one. still she made an effort. wore a pleasant smile while gingerly milling about and some how still keeping themself at a distance. not wanting to seem like the awkward one out, but not jumping too far out of her comfort zone. ❛ oh this really cool one that helps fund arts programs in schools. how about you ? ❜

teddy is used to getting watched. he's an actor who also does sports; of course people watch him. the difference is, when they're filming for something, they get to do a range of emotions and experience so many things. when he's in a football match, he's out on the field, doing shit. there hasn't been much of doing shit for him at this party. it's mostly just observing and being observed. he's sure some chaos will erupt sooner or later, but for now, he's solidly in the bored department. everything's pretty, but they've seen this all before. "oh, hey. what charity did you donate to?" he asks, even though donating isn't really mandatory. they just hope the question will prompt something interesting.

inez had set themself a limit for the night, four drinks and maybe, just maybe, two shots. all spaced out, keeping them from getting too intoxicated. two down, two to go. eyes scanned the menu, unsure if they were in the mood to try any of the wild concoctions that were tailored to this event. the other's voice pulled their focus back to the present. ❛ you're kind of my hero now, thanks, ❜ expressing their gratitude before moving to order a vodka cran. ❛ having a good night ? ❜

henrie was an introvert at heart, although the night was progressing rather swimmingly, fresh air was calling their name. slipping through the throngs of people to make it out. she took a breath and dabbed at the sweat at her brow. gaze swiftly moving to the voice a few feet from her. ❛ um, i don't remember. but i wouldn't doubt it. apparently everyone loves a remix. ❜

their hair had gone up in a claw clip about twenty minutes ago, heat having absolutely ravaged their neck. whether it was the alcohol inez had consumed up until this point or the fact they'd been not stop moving since she'd arrived. taking a moment to rest their feet, they dropped into a seat beside the other. ❛ i am, and the drinks aren't half bad, ❜ she muses. ❛ how about you ? ❜

any chance to spend the night thriving off the energy of a good time, inez was absolutely jumping on. the happy buzz thrumming under their skin had a goofy grin permanently etched onto her lips. one that twitched the second cordelia came into vision. inez was sure they'd run into her at some point, but damn had they been enjoying their time before. catching her words inez pauses for a moment. ❛ oh by all means then cordi, ❜ they pronounced, ❛ make all of our nights and leave.❜

nerves had been nibbling at their stomach from the second they'd put the garment on. dressing up was certainly not her favorite, more comfortable in jeans and a tee. plus the heels were begging her to twist an ankle or two. a giddy smile jumping over her features hearing the familiar voice, one that reminded henrie of home. ❛ thank you so much, ❜ they muse looking down and admiring the piece on her body. ❛ stylist for sure. i wish i personally had this much style. ❜ looking over the other their grin doubled in size. ❛ you look absolutely killer. ❜
