Flyer run (open)

[johnny_rockfort]

So, there’s a Johnny around - he’s placating the streets with simple flyers, that read as follows, and include the address of the party, of course.

Open house party
Open bar, bring food if you want
Music by DJ Stew
Starting at 8PM on New Year’s Eve
Everyone is welcome!

The flyers are slipped under doors and such, undiscriminatingly, because a party is

Wendla picked up a flyer. "Oh, it's for New Year's Eve," she exclaimed, absolutely delighted that there will be no scheduling dilemma. "Well, I should go tell Melchior..." She beamed to herself and started towards her house.

Were he around, Johnny would say something to the effect of duh, do I look like I'm a choir boy? My girlfriend doesn't even know what Christmas is.

But hey - they don't seem to ever have much of a chance to communicate efficiently, those too.

And Iphi was standing nearby, all bundled up (and pleased that someone had managed to invent fashionable clothing for cold weather) and smiling.

"I hope lots of people come!"

[johnny_rockfort]

"Yeah, me too - parties without partiers are a bore - but at least there'll be Stew around, and I suppose your friends will show, right?"

He speaks while he continues his run, but it's a bit more tender - she's Iphi.

[ohmaiden]

"Oh, I hope so! Gwen will, I'm sure, and maybe Moritz and Ilse." She wound her scarf a little more tightly around her neck.

[johnny_rockfort]

He nods. "Seamus said he'd show up - with a date of sorts - that girl Michelle, I think."

[nolovestory]

Haha, well, there was a fully-clothed Michelle on her way out of the house. There was nowhere to go for her, really, but she couldn't stand being around Seamus for long period at a time.

She snorted. "A party?"

[johnny_rockfort]

He looks back at her, nonplussed. "Yeah. You got something better to do on New Year's Eve?"

He hands her a flyer.

[nolovestory]

"Perhaps."

She took a flyer.

[johnny_rockfort]

"Hey, no-one's forcing you, but you're welcome to show up." He smirks, doesn't say anything about Seamus's plans - maybe he's taking someone else, after all. "So, you found a house?"

He offers her a fag, this time.

Seamus found one of the flyers, grinning. He still wasn't sure if he was going to bring someone with him or not - or who for that matter- but a good party seemed like a right idea to him. He especially looked forward to that "open bar" bit.

[johnny_rockfort]

There's likely to be unaccompanied people as well, but. And if Seamus wants to chat with Johnny, he's around - and he certainly won't mind.

[irishgent]

"Oi, Johnny!" Seamus hollered after Johnny once he'd spotted him. "Party, aye?"

[johnny_rockfort]

"Yap, party indeed. I did tell you that, didn't I?" He waves back, friendly and open, ignore the icon.

Moritz had been aimlessly wandering around the Estates, sort of looking for something to do. He was idly gazing at a lamppost when he noticed ANOTHER party.

This was excited.

Then he saw Johnny. "My goodness! Another party!" he remarked, no hello or anything.

[johnny_rockfort]

Johnny looks back - almost grins - he likes Moritz, but that grin is frozen in surprise.

"What do you mean, another?"

He hasn't heard of it - not from anyone, apparently - and neither do the other people he spoke too recently. Thanks for the newsflash, Moritz.

[toedtheline]

He blushed, embarrassed already in front of one of his friends. He wasn't entirely sure that Johnny was invited to Melchior & Wendla's Christmas party.

"Uh, well, it's just that Ilse and I were thinking about having a Christmas party," he lied.

[johnny_rockfort]

Melchior & Wendla (TM) ?

"This is New Year's Eve, you won't have a schedule conflict," Johnny points out helpfully.

To be fair, he'd be annoyed insofar as it puts Iphigenia in an awkward position.
