Alex Russo, she joined the school fighting zombies and was the model student from there on. Pffffft, that's a laugh. Classes haven't even started and she's already finding reasons and ways to sneak off campus. In this case it was a party, parties are good. Especially ones not run, controlled, or monitored by anyone in the school.

Teachers had rulers jammed so far up their- anyway, so long as it wasn't a school event, it'd be fun.

The girl didn't bother knocking on the door, or going to the door, to come in. She just drifted in through a crack in a window. Thing wasn't sealed properly for weather. Easy access and she found it was way more interesting to come in this way then to, well, do that boring human thing. The wind found a good corner out of sight to return to a more human form.

She really hoped this wasn't a lame party, but, even if the host had no clue what was going on. Mutants without adults, always held possibilities.

Cheap beer was never good beer, but really at a party like this, nobody cared how good the drinks were. Thomas grabbed a red plastic cup and drank deeply enough that for a second he wondered if he'd drunk too much when a young woman just appeared in the corner. He eyed her, then his cup, then her again. Right, mutant school.

"You always make a flashy entrance or was this a special occasion?" he asked, pitching his voice loud enough to be heard over the din as he approached.

It probably didn't help that Thomas' paranoia (hidden under a veneer of nonchalance) was of staggeringly unhealthy proportions, so that he made sure he knew, at least in the back of his mind, when anybody walked into his house. "Sure thing, sweetheart," he said, raising his cup at her and finishing it off. "Must be drinking too hard."

At her question, he plucked a full cup from a passerby and handed it to her. "Ask and ye shall receive. Got a name, or should I just call you sweetheart all night?"

[Maxxie has a knack for finding parties. It comes with the territory of his lifestyle. He can just feel it when people are going somewhere; there's a specific energy people tended to carry when they're on their way to a party, and Maxxie could tell by the way other students were moving down the halls, there was a party somewhere. He was going to find it.

As he walks in the door, he texts Chris the address in the hopes that he'd join them later and starts wandering toward the booze.]

Roderich hadn't been there very long, maybe five minutes, just long enough to shed his coat and scarf in Thomas' bedroom again. Not on the bed though, last time it had gotten kicked off, so he had made sure to drape it over the back of a chair.

That taken care of he had gotten something to drink. Not the same "trashcan punch" as last time, but as the beer was the very cheap sort, he decided to go ahead and stick to something mixed, so a coke and rum it was. He just hoped he could avoid the hangover he had gotten last time.

He had looked around for Thomas, but he had seemed... busy, so he kept looking for a few more minutes before he finally saw Maxxie. He hesitated for another moment and then went over to him with a smile, raising his voice slightly to be heard over the TV, music and people trying to be heard over the TV and music "Hello." Well, it was a start, right?

[feltnothing]

Maxxie had a drink in his hand - one of those red plastic cups, filled with beer - and he had been looking around for someone familiar when he heard Roderich beside him. He turned to him with a smile, finding the situation a little strange. Roderich didn't seem like a party person.

"Hey," he said. "What are you doing here?"

[musikjugend]

Normally he wasn't, and truth be told Roderich still wasn't terribly used to so many people in such a small space, all talking at once. But... well last time he had managed to have fun, and Thomas had invited him again, so he thought it would be a good idea.

"Thomas invited me." He shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant about the whole thing. Which was working alright, at least for now.

[So Paulie is standing in the corner awkwardly with a red cup. He's just sort of blinking. He's not so PTSD now, but being around this many people is slightly unnerving. Oh hey, that's what booze is for.]

[godofcologne]

[wanders by, having just filled his cup] Oh hey! You're Paulie, right?

[boss_tictacs]

[Nods.] Umm, yeah. Thomas, right? [Manages to take a drink and NOT choke on the horrible taste of cheap booze.]

[godofcologne]

Yeah, that's me. [recognizes the 'ew bad booze' face and laughs] You've gotta drink cheap beer fast, just down it in one gulp before it hits your taste buds. [demonstrates by knocking back half his cup in one swallow] See, no pain.

Juliet was still kind of anxious about being off school grounds, but she wouldn't pass up sneaking out to one of Thomas' parties. She wore a short white dress with a black lace shrug over it and her hair in ringlets.

Once again, she tentatively walked in through the front door and stood awkwardly to the side to see if she knew anyone around yet.

[polskifeniks]

Oh my gawd that dress is so cute! [He'd somehow managed to lose Toris and in his attempts to find him, Feliks has found himself bumping into more and more strangers. And strangers meant the usual anxiety which meant a very outwardly happy Feliks in an attempt to hide that fear.]

[Fidgeting he fiddled with the hem of his own pink mini.] Have you like, see Tori? He's like thisss tall [The had he used to indicate the height hovered quite high, the height most likely off thanks to the blonde's 4 inch heels but oh well] And he kinda dresses like an adult and stuff. He like.... totally got lost.

[vanillaanddeath]

Juliet's eyes were wide, but she smiled brightly at the compliment. "O-oh, thank you," she replied. "I really like yours too."

She blinked, trying to follow the strain of conversation that was going on... "I'm sorry, I haven't," she replied slowly. "I... can help you find him?"

[polskifeniks]

Thanks! [Feliks beams, managing a little twirl before coming back to face Juliet again.] Tori got me the skirt.

Aww... [For a moment his face falls, but in a few seconds that smile is back] But that's cool. If you wanna help that'd be awesome.

[fuckyeahpills]

[It's good etiquette to always bring a bottle, right?

Not that Chris cares so much about etiquette, but he's got a bottle of vodka with him anyway. Or most of one. To be fair he drank a good bit while he was tracking down the address Maxxie had texted him. But hey, he's here and it's mostly unfinished. That's pretty good.]

[feltnothing]

[DRUNKEN EMBRACE]

You made it!

[fuckyeahpills]

[BROHUGS]

'Course! Tell you what though. Fuckin' bus driver was a right twat. "Oh you can't drink that on here nurrr." [This bus driver impression has quickly degenerated into a fish face, btw]

[feltnothing]

[Laughs at Chris' impression.]

Well you're here now. And you brought something to drink. [Gestures excitedly at the bottle.]
