I'm only getting started, I won't blackout!

[sweetvalleygirl]

WHO: Jessica Wakefield & YOU! This is open!
WHERE: Tom's bar
WHEN: Wednesday night
WARNINGS: Underage drinking.
SUMMARY: It's Jessica's 18th birthday party and she's invited everyone she's ever met to crash Tom's Bar with her!
FORMAT: Your choice! Make new threads, tag around, collect delicious CR!

[Jessica has been looking forward to this night for months. All day at school, all she could talk about (besides prom) was her impending birthday celebration. She just wants to dance and scream and have the best night of her life, for as happy as she is to finally be eighteen, she's also reminded that this is the second birthday she's celebrated without her twin sister. As she dressed for the evening she couldn't help but if wonder somewhere in the multiverse Elizabeth is celebrating their birthday too.

But those thoughts were quickly forgotten once she arrived at Tom's bar. After her first drink, all she could think about was how much fun she was going to have! Finally! She's legal! And she's heading for the dance floor to dance with any and everyone.]

[The birthday girl is pleasantly tipsy, twirling around to whatever music is playing in the bar. The night is young and she just wants to dance!]

[comesback]

[And Jack is just watching from where he's perched at the bar, looking amused. He might ask her for a dance, if certain people don't object! No funny business, he promises.]

[sweetvalleygirl]

[Laughing brightly, she spots Jack and waves at him.]

Hey! Come here!

[comesback]

[He waves back and heads over.] Happy birthday, beautiful.

[sweetvalleygirl]

Thanks, Jack! [She's positively beaming now.] I'm so glad you came!

[aggressiveapathy]

So are you like. Ten or something now?

[sweetvalleygirl]

Ugh, no way. I'm the hottest forty-five year old ever.

[aggressiveapathy]

Smoking. You should make a virus fueled blog about it.

[sweetvalleygirl]

Do you think I could make money off it?

[klutziness]

[Rikku finds her just a little while after arriving, and wraps her arms around the other blonde's waist from behind.]

Heya, birthday girl!

[sweetvalleygirl]

Rikku! [Jess twirls around, drunkenly bumping into her.] Yay! You're here!

[klutziness]

[Rikku holds her steady, pretty strong for a girl her size.]

'Course I am! Wouldn't have missed it for all the gold in the City. [That was probably a lie, but she wanted to make Jess feel special.]

[sweetvalleygirl]

This party just got like ten times cooler. I was getting worried. [She glares at the bar where Alex and Zoidberg are talking.] Ugh, oh my gawd, do you see who else is here? There's a twelve year old and a gigantic lobster. Seriously, I was about to cry.

[girlverine]

Are you having fun?

[Laura has been surveying the party for the most part, not very good at...any...aspect of socialization, but she's suddenly there as though she expects Jessica to topple over. But the question is innocent, just an excuse to be nearby to grab her if she falls.]

[sweetvalleygirl]

Laura, ohmigawd, this is like, the best party ever!

[She spins around, flailing a bit before grabbing Laura's shoulder.]

Why? Aren't you having fun? Please say yes!

[girlverine]

I am.

[As much as Laura ever had fun, really. She was carefully avoiding drinking Jessica's alcohol...she remembered the effect it had on her, and while it had been...interesting...she didn't particularly enjoy losing control of herself. Ever. Right. More small talk necessary.]

I am glad you are enjoying yourself.

[rocksforbrains]

[Santo locates the birthday girl not long after Rikku.

And after getting his own drink at the bar.]

Heeey, Jess! Happy birthday!

[sweetvalleygirl]

Hi Santo!

[She bounds over to him to give him a big...gish hug!]

Thank you! Isn't this so much fun?!

[rocksforbrains]

[Santo hugs back, going to lift her off the ground 'cause doing that is awesome.]

Hell yeah! Looks like you're having more fun than everyone else so far.

[ Julian finds her while she's dancing, and mostly just sidles in alongside her. ]

Hey Jess, you look good. So I hear it's your birthday or something.

[sweetvalleygirl]

[Jessica can't help but grin and preen at that.]

Oh my god, listen to you, sweet talker!

[hellionated]

I say what I see. So what do I have to do to get a dance around here? Will this work?

[ A wrapped up box floats out of his jacket and hovers in front of her. It has these inside. Well, she did ask for sparkle. ]

[jewelofborune]

[ Ce'Nedra has spoken to Jessica once, concerning this very party. She doesn't have many qualms about imposing on a near-stranger's birthday, but she does know it's good manners to speak to one's host, especially on an occasion honoring them.

So here is one small, redheaded girl, fashion slightly off so as to indicate that she's still getting used to current trends, coming to say hello.

The music is very loud. If she looks slightly unsettled, that's one of the reasons. You people and your loud, blinky places. ]

I suppose I should judge, it being your birthday, but-- This is really what you do for fun?

[sweetvalleygirl]

Well, yeah. [Duh, isn't it obvious? Jessica might be offended, except that she's drunk already.] Aren't you having fun yet?

[jewelofborune]

It's very loud. I've never seen anything like this.

[ Uh... What to grant it? ]

It's... Different.
