Cinco de Mayo party- Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

With the new semester and new people on island, and also a holiday that just so happened to fall on Kitty's shift, those were as good excuses as any for a party. Plus they got to do so with margaritas and nachos, and who didn't like margaritas and nachos?

Tino was at the bar if anyone just wanted to hang out there, but the back room was where the people were. Hopefully. Shut up, Kitty totally still didn't get paranoid no one would show up, really.

Tamsin didn't exactly care what holiday it was. And, okay, too bad this wasn't a karaoke party or whatever, but who cared? There were margaritas.

If you thought she grabbed a full pitcher upon arrival and would be making her way through it as the night went on: congratulations. You'd met Tamsin.

"All right, let's get this party started. Or whatever."

"You definitely seem ready for it," Kitty said, noticing the pitcher.

"Hi," said the slight girl in black who'd somehow managed to make her way to Tamsin's side without being noticed. (Of course Death knew a valkyrie when she saw one.) "So, what have you been up to lately?"

Collecting dead warriors didn't seem like a sound business model for the island.

"Why is it that every time I come here just to have a drink, there's a party?" Atton muttered.

Okay, that was a minor exaggeration.

... That was a huge exaggeration.

But he was tired, cut him a break. Or, well, he could at least grab himself a drink that didn't taste like rancor ass.

Re: Back Room

[throughaphase]

"Because we're awesome like that?"

Really, that was the only reasonable answer Kitty could give.

Irene was not about to dress up for Cinco de Mayo (because she was far too petite to manage a sombrero without embarrassing herself -- but more power to anyone who tried) -- but she did at least wear a bright color (http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/escada-dress-dondi-ruched?ID=1290794&CategoryID=21683&LinkType=#fn=spp%3D38%26ppp%3D96%26sp%3DNull%26rid%3DNull)! For a woman who loved her blacks and whites, this was a big deal, okay?

In any case, she got herself a margarita, and wondered why Americans were so insistent on creating holidays around drinking. They'd save on streamers and the like if they just owned up to wanting to get blitzed on a Tuesday. Tsk.

"You dressed up," Kitty teased.

"Hey, look at you all in technicolor," Tamsin called.

And then she threw in an only halfway sarcastic wolf-whistle, just because she could.

Eliot skipped the snacks and went right for a beer. He'd been wanting one since doing the fishing thing in class that morning. He found a good spot to lean back and people-watch (and exit-watch -- that sort of thing didn't turn off easily) and enjoy his drink.

"Nice to have a reason to hang out that isn't 'we're all going nuts from sex-pollen'," he observed.

What? That was the last adult party he'd gone to on the island.

The armor was a little obtrusive. Just a tiny bit.

If he'd had access to Tex's camo unit, you better believe he would have shown up in that. But nooo. He had to go without the armor if he wanted an unobserved lay of the land.

Which was why he was hovering near the exit, without letting anyone at his back.

Jones had a drink and small plate of food in front of her that she wasn't touching. For the most part she was sitting and observing the interactions around the room.

After clocking out from work, Vic headed over to the bar. Normally she would just go home, have a beer and watch TV but she decided it wouldn't hurt to be social at least for one night.

She grabbed a bottle of beer from Tino and took possession of a bar stool so she could drink and people watch.

Didi hadn't planned on going to a party on her first day in town, but she hadn't planned on anything, really. If there was a party -- with people, and music, and happiness -- she'd be there.

She took a cup of punch that was selected more for color than anything else and sized up the room. She was almost certain the zombies were the same as they'd been last time she was here -- just with more duct tape.

Brian needed a drink. Actually, Brian needed a lot of drinks, because Brian had still not figured out how to get into his apartment. So, hey, he was totally up for a party!

"Ah!" exclaimed Éponine as she came in and claimed herself a booth (where better to sort of lurk and watch people?). "You found an excuse for a party after all, I see."

Clint was sticking to beer rather than a margarita, but he'd already devoured an entire plate of nachos and was working on a second one. He'd made sure there was still enough to go around, don't worry.

Allie wasn't too sure about the reason for the party, but hey, any excuse to be sort of social.

Bottle of True Blood in her hand, she took a seat and tried to spot any new people.

So, Hardison didn't really know much about parties that didn't involve computers and video games. But what he did know was that you could never go wrong by bringing additional food or drinks along. Since the party was happening at a bar, he skipped out on the drinks, but he entered the back room carrying a large platter of sugary churros, along with a some dark chocolate sauce to dip them in.

Couldn't go wrong with chocolate and sugar, right?

After a day of trying to get things organized over at Stark's in a post yet to come, oops, Jessica made her way down to the party, ordered a soda, and realized that she was probably the youngest "adult" in town. Good to know. Not weird at all.

Parker had grabbed a soda. Then, when she found the snacks, she grabbed everything chocolate that she could fit into her hands. "Feliz Cinco de Mayo!"

OOC

Let's face it, this would be a Revenge of the Fifth party if I could work out the meta in time.
