( 006 ) video ✶ there’s a party at the bar everybody put your glasses up and i drink to that

[unparental]

[ normally, jenna's posts are reliably fairly tl;dr and cheerful. 'welcome, new campers!' and all that.

today is not a cheerful day. she turns on the feed and then sits silently for a second, not sure what to say. finally, she shrugs. ]

So, I really want to get hammered. Reprehensibly so. I want to get disgustingly fall down, pretend this all didn't happen for a night drunk.

[ she's not even sure she can do that without an iv of señor tequila, but by god she's gonna try. ]

Anybody with me?

...Price of admission is a 'no photographic evidence will ever surface' pinkie swear and a contest to see who can yell 'Christo' the loudest before anybody lets you in whatever common space we take over.

l o c k e d ;

Can everyone just... sound off? Please. We seriously need a check-in list, or something. 'If still alive and yourself, initial here'.

God. It's been a really long month, you guys.

So. I, uh. [ she pauses, weighing her words. maybe calling him a dick helped in the moment, with tyke, but the truth is: jenna misses dean, and if this changed his mind at all she needs to know, so she can keep chipping away at that... horribly frustrating stubbornness of his. ] I don't know if hunting monsters with a monster changed your mind at all, but... there's a bottle for you too. If you want it.

You can't not talk to me forever, you know. It's a-- huge ship, fine, but I'm really stubborn. Maybe more stubborn than you are.

[ it's hard to joke like they used to when she's not sure she'll get any reply but silence. ]

Anyway. The offer is there.

[For once, he sounds every bit as relieved as he feels. Fucking finally, a break from demons.]

Just say where. I'll even bring - y'know.

voice;

[unparental]

Don't take this the wrong way, but marry me?

[ they can be relief buddies-- at least demons seem to bring people together after the fact. ]

[circumitus]

I can't seem to get drunk. Can I still come?

[She'll popcorn.gif, but without the actual popcorn.]

video;

[unparental]

The more the merrier-- and hey, I'm going to try and see what it takes to get me drunk, so if you feel like experimenting you'll already have company.

[ the rules permit it: popcorn giffers gotta relax too. ]

[theshabbiestofmen]

I won't condemn you for it, but-- I've found drinking doesn't normally help, not if there's an actual problem.

[unparental]

Remus, you're a friend and I respect you, but I'm almost sure the answer to my issues are at the bottom of one of these bottles.

[ but she laughs, hair swinging forward to cover her face as she nods, acknowledging the point. ]

No, I know, I know. But I think I'm ready for a little unhealthy coping tonight-- and alcohol helps-- [ cravings. god, no. she can't say that unlocked. ] promote vampire zen. Better than a Prozac, I promise.

[constructum]

Hey...[ yep, she is alive and kicking. and may just sound slightly tired. but hey, she is alive and that should count for something, right? ]

So this apparent hammering -- who exactly would be there? [ she needs to know these sort of things. ]

voice | encypted 85%

[unparental]

Open non-demon invite, but I know things are tense between... certain camps. [ delicate phrasing mode, go. ] If people get uncomfortable, I'll set up a movie in another room, like Connor did.

[ They have spoken recently, and Erik knows she's okay, that they've both managed to get out of this, but this was different. Jenna's after his own heart here, knowing everyone is okay, relief in the form of alcohol that he's always been fond of.]

Can't hold your drink? [ It's a light tease, because he doesn't need to talk about the heavier topics for once. ]

[unparental]

Ten imaginary dollars says I can drink you under the table, buddy. Under two tables, even.

[ teasing back, but also reassuring: any party i throw, you're welcome to attend. she's not sure how things worked out with alayne, and until the alcohol starts flowing she won't even try to ask-- but the least she can do is stand solid without making a big deal of it. ]

[consulting]

For the sake of Connor,
are we getting a movie night?
You may need an alternate activity to getting sloshed.

Do I have consent to bring a +1?
John would enjoy a pint.

SH

sherlock someday she will get you to respond in kind and not text

[unparental]

If people want to set it up? I'm all for it. But I am off the party planner clock, all I want to do is get drunk and go home with Ric.

Tell John I said if you want to come, he has to. You're his +1.
Also tell him I said hi, and if he doesn't at least put in an appearance and let me know he's fine not via you, he's in the doghouse.

JS (Who knows who this is, you really don't have to sign it.)

[ not here ]

[grndnpnd]

[ Because ironically, Tommy's sleeping off getting his ass handed to him in the medbay and can't sound off. ]

[ WELL GDI TOMMY ]

[unparental]

[ your name is riiiiight near the top of her list, bro. a vampire visitor just might be popping in to check on you, asap. ]

voice;

[cons]

Yes, yes, and yes.

And Christo.

voice;

[unparental]

Atta girl. Into alcohol and demon free-- exactly the kind of guest list we're trying to build.

voice ;

[appraysen]

If it means alcohol I'd even be willing to recite things in double dutch, or do one of those crazy 80s movie sleep over style dares.

voice ;

[unparental]

No naked dances or embarrassing phonecalls needed, I promise.

[statsraaden]

[Oh, it's been long since the last party. Yay, a party.]

I'm in for a party. What do I bring?

[unparental]

Yourself, and booze because if we run out, I'm not getting more. Hostess Jenna is off the clock, officially.

[ Mason's still reeling from everything that happened, so he's trying to lay as low as he possibly can while he tries to figure out the best way to approach the guy he attacked. He has a feeling Remus knows it was him and Re-l was there when he changed back, but Tommy... That's a tricky one.

He's not just going to ignore Jenna's message, though, because he doesn't want her to worry. ]

i'm still here

private text; 95% unhackable

[unparental]

You're freaking me out is what you are. Mason, is everything okay?

[ because there are not a lot of reasons mason will hide his face from her, or not immediately show up ready to party. ]

[video]

[doggedly]

And what will you be serving, that will be making us fall down in such a reprehensible disgusting manner?

Not that I'm critiquing the idea, mind. It's just that I'm interested.

[video]

[unparental]

...You've never heard the country song/catchy warning? You know-- one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor?

Ha. Ha. Ha.

[ ...no she's actually amused. normality = a+ right now. ]

[He's not ready to talk about what happened, but he hasn't figured out how to pick apart how he feels about working alongside her. It's after a lengthy pause of nothing that he finally opens his mouth, response not exactly warm but... there. It's an olive branch, even if it's small by most people's standards it's ground-breaking by Dean's.]

Yeah. Still here.

audio;

[unparental]

[ jenna's not sure which one was more intense: dread that there wouldn't be a message-- for two reasons, one infinitely more horrifying than dean's vampire issues-- or hope there would be.

she blinks at the screen for a second, then nods to herself. okay, a check-in isn't a fruit basket and apology and/or affirmation of love, friendship, and mutual respect, but tonight it feels like a lot more. ]

Good to hear it.

[puppydogeyes]

Checking in.

[She'd said she would, even if it feels a little awkward.]

text;

[unparental]

And everything's good?

[ tyke you are doing jenna's nerves a solid, she owes you one. ]

voice;

[wont]

[ Because Robb had spoken of her and had offered her the salve that Jenna had given them. Guiltily, Alayne had been too frightened to accept (she'd been raised from the dead, surely this would make her even more of an abomination), but the gesture is still fresh in her mind. ]

You are— Jenna, are you not?

voice ; locked

[unparental]

Yeah, that's... [ oh hey, that's an only peripherally familiar and yet extremely important face. jenna locks the feed, her tone going softer. ]

That's me. How are you? [ she almost tacks on 'sweetheart'-- a habit from scraped knees and breakups-- but stops herself, remembering robb's formality. the last thing this poor kid needs is to navigate cross culture social issues about jenna's casual familiarity. ]

[butwedonot]

[ Charles had been quite adept at getting drunk in his Oxford years-- and even a time or two after-- and while he's toned things down quite a bit the offer still amuses him. A thin arch of one brow as he gives he a quiet look before cocking his head to the side. ]

Dare I ask what your drink of choice is?

video;

[unparental]

[ jenna's drinking years were supposed to be over with, but surprise!vampirism and then being kidnapped to space kind of turned the tranquility into her own personal backsliding playground. ]

Oh, I'm a tequila girl. [ she raises the bottle already in her hand, then grimaces a little. ] It's not real tequila, but of all the stuff we have it tastes the most like it. And space-tequila just sounds childish.

[player_not_slayer]

[And Simon's not looking all that great himself. Not because he was all demonified, but just...shit went down, man. Shit he doesn't want to talk about right now.

He's been shaken to the core, and alcohol sounds like a welcome if rather unexplored escape for him. Today is not a cheerful day, indeed.]

Just tell me where to point my pinky and I'm in. I'll even leave my phone in my room.

[He's totally ignoring the fact that Jenna knows his age, of course.]

[unparental]

[ EYEBROW. ]

Remind me when your twenty first is again?

[ you OFFERED TO GIVE HIM POT shut up jenna. ]
