Free drinks.
Stripper poles.

What more could you want?
Enjoy the spacious penthouse and add rooms as you see fit. Gwen hasn't finished exploring the place, so whatever you choose is fine.

Have fun!

Cordelia and Orlando happen to be in town to do some paperwork on their new house, so after some quick costume shopping, they head over to Gwen's.

As a rule, Cordelia doesn't make New Year's resolutions. But since there really isn't a costume for that, she decides to go with something that's not so much a resolution as a future plan. Someday, she wants to learn magic. Not necessarily to the extent Willow learned it, but enough to be able to actively help when her friends are in trouble. Visions are fine, even handy sometimes, but they're passive. So, magic.

Besides, she found a really cute witch costume to wear. She doesn't actually want to BE a witch, but it's the closest she could get. And she looks hot in it, so even better.

Once they're inside the penthouse, she pauses to look around as she takes off her coat.

"Pole dancing? That's... festive."

ooc: I'll leave Orlando's costume description up to his mun, whenever she pops back online. And I confess, I shamelessly stole the icon idea from Gwen's. *g* Forgive me?

Is over by the free bar drinkin' and sulkin'. With his super vampire hearing, and keen observyness notices Cordy & Orlando have arrived. Though mainly just notices Cordy in the sexy witches costume, and her sayin' something about a pole dance. Smiles and gives a friendly wave.

[queen_c_tm]

Cordelia sees Spike and waves back, then takes note of where the bar is. She'll be needing that later, by the looks of things. She's still getting over there being poles here.

[soulful_spike]

Although he really doesn't want to disturb any quality time that Cordy and Orlando deserves to have. Nervously walks over to say hey.

Smiles thoughtfully. "Hello. You and Orlando are certainly the hottest married couple here. Though technically you may be the only married couple here at the moment. This does seem to be more a singles party. But is good to have at least one happily married couple here to show everyone what they looks like."

"Anyway just wanted to say hello. And you make a beautiful witch. If I notice any falling houses, or buckets of water comin' you way, will be sure to warn you. Uh, sorry bad Wizard of Oz witch joke. Willow never thought it was funny either."

[queen_c_tm]

Cordelia smiles at the compliment. "Thanks. We probably will be the only married people here, but that's okay. There are other couples."

She glances around, sees a few that she knows of. All guys, but a couple is a couple.

"It looks like it should be a fun party, at least. Better than dealing with the crowds at Times Square, anyway."

[soulful_spike]

Spike isn't feelin' like he has much reason to be all with the happy party hahaha's. But really doesn't wanna be a drag. So will try to pretend like he's okay. "Anything is better than all the crowds in NYC for Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. Although The Pussycat Dolls and Mariah Carey should heat things up in Time Square. Is best too just watch it on the telly. That way is less with the noisy crowds, and not so cold."

Looks arounds and partly smiles. "Do gotta say that a posh penthouse is a far better backdrop for a New Years party. Allot warmer at least. Plus how can you go wrong with free liquor. Free liquor makes any party better."

[queen_c_tm]

"Free booze is always good," Cordelia agrees. She plans to help herself to it soon. "It's not really New Year's if you aren't drunk, right?"

Just as long as there's no karaoke, she'll be fine. No one needs to hear her sing.

[soulful_spike]

Tries not to look at her cleavage, but is hard not too. And God it looks like Spike may end up bein' one of the only responsible adults at the party. But just cause he might not get too drunk, doesn't mean his demon can't be happy for his friends drinky goodness. "Free drinks are very good. And are right. After the stressful crap of Thanksgivin' & Christmas holidays. Plus the shit I put you threw. Think you deserve to let loss & have some fun. New Year's is like the day to put the past year behind ya. Gettin' drunk is a good way to put any problem behind you. Least til you sober up

"You're New Years Resolution is to be an even bigger witch?" Kara asks.

Cordelia's outfit is ALMOST as sexy as Kara's. She going to look great later when she's had a few slushies and reveals her secret desire to be an exotic dancer.

"And, yes. Kara Keating is now the proud owner of three professional quality dancing poles. How impressed are you right now?"

[queen_c_tm]

"I told you, I don't have a resolution. But I want to learn magic someday, so this was the best thing I could find."

Cordelia looks Kara over and almost asks her what she's wearing, but stops herself before she gets all lecture-y. Kara's 16. When Cordelia was her age, she wore a costume or two like that, so has no room to talk.

"What do you plan on doing with that many poles?"

[kara_marie]

"Starting a strip club for the socially disadvantaged and underaged." She says. "Obviously!"

Actually, she has no idea what she's going to do with that many poles. Except store them in Spike's room. You can only dance on one at a time. Three really was overkill.

"I can't wait to see you up there, showing us what you've got, Cordelia."

[queen_c_tm]

Cordelia looks over at the poles again and grimaces.

"I think I'm going to need some alcohol before that happens."

At least there's no jello. Yet.

[orlandomuse]

Orlando snickers. "But there's not a coconut bra in sight!"

[kara_marie]

"That's because no ones resolution is to be CORDELIA!" Ah. Tormenting Cordelia. It should be a national sport.

[orlandomuse]

Orlando snickers, then smiles warmly at Kara. "By the way, you look lovely."

[kara_marie]

Orlando! She looks like a STRIPPER.

"Thanks. You look very... Well dressed?"
