Again, Skye has hijacked Leif's dance studio, covered it in tinsel and various bits of sparkly thing until the walls are barely visible, and decorated a truly monstrous tree in the corner -- which the gifts sit beneath. There's a table for drinks, mercifully left undrugged this time, and the man himself is prancing around the room in full Christmas

Well, this is about the affair Simon expected it to be. Actually, as opposed to the last party he attended at Skye's house, people seem far less-- what's the word he wants? Intoxicated? Whatever the case, it does seem to carry with it a certain amount of the holiday spirit.

[totheskye]

"Pretty festive, huh?" Skye crows against Simon's ear, materializing abruptly next to him, an arm sliding around his shoulder. "'M glad you showed. Should be more your scene than the last party, huh? It's calmer, at least."

[marbleincarnate]

"It is quieter, I'll give you that."

He taps his lips and glances around. "Who all has shown up so far?"

[totheskye]

"I didn't spike the booze, this time," he says, by way of explanation. "Wasn't so much aimin' for a wild party, anyhow; just wanted my friends around me."

A shrug. "Most of the people I invited. Even Gabe promised he'd make an appearance. So, wanna drink?"

[boom_kaboom]

He decides he isn't going to be any kind of wallflower today so he puts on a candy cane striped shirt and a Santa hat and makes his way over to the party place. When he spots Skye he smiles from ear to ear, waving over at him.

Skye makes a beeline for Smith upon noticing him, a bounce in every step and enthusiasm as he wraps the other tight in his arms.

"Nice shirt. Nice everythin'." An appreciative kiss. "Thanks for comin'."

[boom_kaboom]

His smile grows wider when arms go around his waist and he slides his arms around Skye as well. "Why thank you. You're looking pretty gorgeous yourself. So festive. It looks awesome in here." He gives Skye another kiss, then another.

[totheskye]

"You like it?" Skye returns each kiss with one of his own, and soon he's grinning against Smith's neck with slender arms wrapped tight around him. "Mmmm, hi. Wanna get a drink? We should get a drink."

Abigail has eschewed her usual starkest blacks and whites for an outfit more suiting her Spring Court affiliation. Her hair is down, a piece at each temple braided back and tied off with a ribbon that matches her pale gold nail poolish. And she's wearing the claddagh that Skye gave her, though to the majority of the room, her blue eyes don't match the stone. (Those who see past illusions, prod me.)

She's a little timid in the crowd, though she notes the presence of other changelings here. Still, for the moment, she is hovering near the drinks.

[marbleincarnate]

"Miss Abigail."

Simon nods and approaches the familiar face lingering by the beverages. He doesn't intend to take any himself, given that he doesn't know what might be in any of them. Still, he'll greet Abigail.

"You look nice."

[OOC: I'm in and out with holiday activities, so tags may be plentiful or sporadic.]

[rebutle]

(roger that. I'm Jewish--I'll be around literally all day.)

"Thank you." She blushes slightly, tugging gently at the hem of her skirt. "I've rarely felt confident enough to wear something like this out and about." There's a hint of a pause as she looks at him, then a hint of cheekiness enters her smile. "Hey, Simon? Isn't the Super Bowl approaching?"

[marbleincarnate]

"Yeah, in February." It takes him a moment to pick up on why she asks, realization dawning across his face. "Ah, were you interested in perhaps doing something again?"

He chuckles. "We had a nice time last year, didn't we?"

There are good smells coming from the kitchen - ham, turkey, and lasagna for those who abstain from meat. And, after a while, there is a Metody as well, looking like a Christmas elf in a fuzzy green sweater and candy cane striped leggings.

[lucreceknife]

And the smells from the kitchen draw the diminutive little lunch truck lady out. But...there's something very different about her presence today, beyond the outfit. She brings a chill with her as she steps into Metody's domain, and her gaze is more measuring than friendly, for the moment.

[metody_green]

Metody looks up and smiles.

"Hello! Can I get you something to drink or snack on?"

[lucreceknife]

"Thank you, no. I brought a bottle of wine to donate to the festivities. If anyone asks," by this she means Simon, mostly, because she knows he has an aversion, "yes, it is magical. But it's the good stuff."

The bottle she lifts is full of a pale blue liquid that seems to be chiming softly within the glass bottle. As if that makes any sense, right?

I'm having way too much fun playing dress-up.

[somevelvet]

There's still something suggestive of armor in her attire, and anyone looking really, really close might realize there's a dagger sheathed snug to her forearm under each translucent sleeve of her top. But she looks very different than she does at the club on a daily basis. For one thing, most of the patrons and dancers have never seen her in blue before.

Phaedra drifts through the room, perhaps looking for someone. Perhaps uncertain how to insert herself into a conversation. But there's contentment written on her face, in this moment.

I can tell! god, i want Abi's wardrobe.

[totheskye]

"Hey, you clean up good," he comments appreciatively, the subsequent wink playful and arms lightly embracing. "Kitten's a lucky kid."

"Glad you came." It's something he's left unspoken, but through their work at Smitten, part of Skye takes comfort in having her at his back. Trusted. Even in situations where it's irrelevant. "Enjoyin' the free time?"

I want them aaaall. But yes, especially Goat's, today.

[somevelvet]

"Free time? No, it's pleasantly busy. Free time is what I had last year, alone and lonely for Christmas. This is better." Her eyes twinkle as she returns the hug. "Thank you for everything."

yessss I want a fae wardrobe *_* and sorry tags are so slow, busybusy dealing with the family

[totheskye]

The correction draws a chuckle from him. "I meant the time of work, but sure. This time of year feels right to have your people close, y'know?" He grins. "I'm glad you got people of your own, too."
