[ VIDEO ]

[The scene? A perfectly normal evening at the Raven. The quiet clinking of glasses, the occasional murmur of people drinking, is broken by one cursed bartender-- acting the Mad Hatter and embarrassingly dressed the part-- shouting,]

CLEAN CUP! Move down!

[Someone at the bar whines: Aw c'mon, really?]

Hey, I didn't make the rules! Move.

[Annnnd everyone visible onscreen grudgingly slips down to the next stool. It's easier than arguing with a crazy person, after all.]


[ooc; action or network is fine~ he is basically out of his mind.]

...Why is it a rule to begin with?

[never_very_good]

It just is.

[greedful-cheat.livejournal.com]

...Where did it start then? I'm confused by this entire... event.

[never_very_good]

What do you mean? It's a party.

[Reasoning with the cursed, always fun and logical.]

[greedful-cheat.livejournal.com]

Yes. But where did the party get its rules? There must be some sort of tradition behind this.

[never_very_good]

The rules just are.

[greedful-cheat.livejournal.com]

...That doesn't explain an origin or a reason. Unless this is a religion.

Awesome hat!

[never_very_good]

Why, thank you.

[About five minutes to midnight, Eden is standing in the doorway of the Raven, waiting]

[action]

[never_very_good]

[This means she arrives five minutes early for the show; after five minutes of filling drinks, cheerfully muttering nonsense, and adjusting the... pinkish, fuzzy monstrosity of a hat he's wearing, the minute hand clicks into place and suddenly there is a lot of cursing.

The hat hits the wall not far from where she's standing, as a matter of fact.]

[action]

[eiremagic]

[The hat gets picked up and she carried over]

But it's yehr new best friend.

[action]

[never_very_good]

[He scowls, a scowl not without true feeling but honestly so exaggerated it's obviously for her amusement as much as anything.]

Burn it.

[action]

[eiremagic]

Yeh don' think it's a bit handsome?

[On her head it goes.]

[action]

[never_very_good]

Better on you than me.

[action]

[eiremagic]

Does it bring out me eyes?

[action]

[never_very_good]

[He just kind of snorts.]

I hate shit like this.

[action]

[eiremagic]

Pretty harmless shite, though.

[She leans over for a kiss. Give her one, Frankie]

[action]

[never_very_good]

[Giving her a kiss-- a quick one, since you know public place and all-- means not having to answer that, so he does. Harmless but annoying, he can't help being annoyed.]

[action]

[eiremagic]

Anyway, yeh want to get out of this place? Figure they've had enough of a night.

[action]

[never_very_good]

[He leans on his side of the bar with half a wicked smile.]

Ordering me home again?

[action]

[eiremagic]

Dunno, maybe I want what I gave.

[never_very_good]

It's a party.

[Said with a duh, obviously tone.]
