Paul Avery currently has a very clearly defined set of typewriter-key-shaped marks on his face.
This may because he is resting his head on said keys.
There is, as it so happens, a sheet of paper tucked into the typewriter, and, if one is so inclined, it makes for a very entertaining read, as his level of coherency drops as the lines progress.
A monster headache is brewing for one (very drunk) Adelle DeWitt.
She does not recall having enough to knock her about this much, and she isn't going to try to, because the least thought it currently causing her some severe pain.
So, she'll just be over here, trying to get comfortable in one of the armchairs by the fire.
Victor can't think straight - whatever passes for thinking straight with a Doll - but he can recognize his name when he hears it.
He discovers very quickly that he also cannot walk straight.
"This is strange," he concludes, looking at the table in front of him that is decidedly off to the left of the chair holding the woman he was aiming for.
The rich voice behind her belongs to a tall, ginger gentleman in a white button down shirt and jeans. His cheeks are bit flushed, and he gives her a saucy wink when she turns around.
As her giggling subsides (somewhat), Fields steadies herself with one hand on the counter, using the other to cover up the smile that has very firmly planted itself on her face.

He'll just be curled contentedly up at the fireplace, enjoying it while it lasts.
On the floor.

She remembers walking through the metal detector.
And she remembers stepping into the bar.
She doesn't remember drinking, but Jesus god, she's smiling too much to be sober and --
She settles on the next stool and squints at the sheet of paper, reading the lines visible over the top of Paul's head.

"Lots of mascara. Vodka. On the stairs. Cry and pack and leave with the guacamole and sing in bars with Judy Garland."

"S'too bad -- I like guacamole. Like it a lot more than Judy Garland."

"Hey! You -- Roger! Victor!"
(This is accompanied with very handwavey gestures of one hand.)

"What sort'f dancin' did y' have in mind?"
He can't make anything out of the music that is currently playing, and as such cannot even begin to think of appropriate steps.

"Dancing."

Really, she ought to be being more careful, or she's going to fall right off of the barstool she's currently perched on.

He steps in close, reaching passed to take her drink from between her fingers and taking a long swig, his eyes never leaving her face.
