[location: the stack house] time isn't wasted when you're getting wasted

[eggplantgout]

Jason Stackhouse had never been to college unless one counted a semester at tech school a university experience. He had however, watched plenty of movies that (many of them inaccurate) depicted college. This party was a new experience for Jason and he was damn well going to get it right.

The party would take place outside on the lawn in front of

Loki is excited. He can't eat any of the junk food, and he'll have to be careful with the alcohol because just randomly spitting beer everywhere is frowned upon in polite society, but it's a party. A party for him, and when has that ever happened?

"Man, this is gonna be the best party in history." He's practically bouncing on the balls of his feet.

Because timelines are for losers, this thread happens later on in the party. Dawn is perched on the kitchen counter, one heel snagged on the edge and the other leg hanging down, drumming against a cabinet.

"Did you guys get food not gummi bacon?" Welcome to friendship with Dawn, Loki. She's bossy as hell.

[gunsnotvoodoo]

Loki is sitting backwards on a kitchen chair, chewing wax from one of the candy wax bottles. He forgot to buy gum and decided that suckers probably still count against the stupid rule.

"Yeah, Jason ordered a bunch of pizzas. They smell really good, you should have some." A polite host would offer to get her a piece, but this is Loki.

"You're the best host in the whole entire world." Dawn hops off the counter and stretches, rolling her shoulders. "Okay, where can I find this delicious smelling pizza?"

"Oh, wow." Dawn will just be... staring at all the pinatas for a second, now, before taking in the candy and beer and... holy crap, is Jason in a toga? "That is a sincere lot of candy."

Loki is totally wearing a toga too, although he has his t-shirt and hoodie on under it, which makes a goofy fashion statement even goofier.

"The gummi bacon smells like strawberry."

Just in case you wanted to try some, Dawn.

Dawn is decidedly not in a toga, but she is wearing super cute shoes. (Shut up, Kirk. They're not insane, they're pretty.) So hopefully that counts for festive with the lack of sheets.

"Oooh, really? Cool."

...Clearly Dawn missed her calling as a frat boy.

"Tastes like it too," Jason says as he walks over to join them, dressed in a toga and absolutely nothing else. "Already had me a couple of pieces. Want one?"

He holds out a hand offering Dawn a strip of gummi bacon.

Jayne makes a beeline for the keg, filling up a cup, and then wanders over towards the host.

"How come you're wearin' a sheet?"

[eggplantgout]

"How come you ain't?" Jason counters. "It's a toga party. That's kind of a rule."

Jason is clearly an expert in these things.

[mercenaryacare]

"The hell's a toga?" Jayne looks Jason up and down, brow furrowed in confusion. "Does in mean sheet in some other language 'er somethin'?"

[eggplantgout]

"You gotta know your history, man," now there's some irony, "Greek people from the old days used to wear these things."

A toga party wasn't exactly Rose's scene but she figured that coming here would be a good thing. She could meet more people this way and take her mind off things that had been plaguing her for the past week or so.

Rose is currently hovering by the table with a margarita in her hand as she looks out for anyone that she knows. She's not wearing a toga though.

"Look who ain't following the dress code," Jason says as he greets the newcomer. His tone isn't angry at all, more of a person starting casual conversation.

[rose_tainted]

"Must have missed the memo," she teases lightly, smiling a little. "I take it this is all your doing then?" Rose asks before taking a sip of her margarita. "Very festive indeed."

"Yup, I just got me a roomie. Thought it would be good to do somethin' nice for him. Then I thought, hell, why not do somethin' nice for everybody?"

He's obviously pretty proud of himself.

Mattie would never have come down this street if she'd imagined that she would run into what appears to be some kind of drunken, debauched party. Probably by members of some strange cult, if the clothing and decor are anything to go by.

Maybe this is normal for Taxon, though. And they do look like they're having fun, despite the noise...

She decides to have a closer look. No beer, of course, or whatever those vile looking green beverages are. But it's important to make contacts when in a strange place.

She can't quite keep the what in God's name? expression off her face, though.

[eggplantgout]

When Jason sees Mattie his mind begins to panic. Why is there a girl here and how did she even know about this party?

He walks over to her, intent that he get to her before something terrible happens. Yet when he does reach her, he has no idea what to say. He chooses to go with something that he wants to know anyway.

"You lost?"

[verylittlesugar]

"No, I am not lost, I just wanted to see the decorations." If Mattie sounds a bit defensive, it's because she is. She didn't know it was a private party, and anyway she's only looking.

She can't help adding a question of her own, though, because it's been nagging at her. "Did something happen to your clothes?"

[eggplantgout]

It's far from a private party, but Mattie is a minor and as the host he feels responsible for her.

"No," he says, in as much of a matter of fact manner as Jason Stackhouse ever musters, "I'm wearin' a toga."
