Clearly, we've got a problem here.

[ If you saw Thea when she arrived, or even during the event, you might see that she looks a lot better. At least she's making sure that she looks it. The event was pretty traumatising, not just in itself but watching someone die also didn't really help ]

People died and there's no welcome back party?

[ Or a party to deal with the whole thing. Or, if she's actually being honest, just a party because why not have a party? ]

So I'm fixing that. Though I might need some planning help, as a new girl.

[ She'd do it all herself if it wasn't for that aforementioned 'new girl' party ]

Mainly somewhere to have it, other than all over the mansion. And people to make sure the sadness is kept away. So BYOB and I'll bring the rest. [ She means the drugs. She's testing out that magic closet of hers ]

[Did someone say they needed help planning something? Because that's kind of Annie's thing. Like, it's totally Annie's thing.]

There's a ballroom! Somewhere...I think maybe the fifth floor or something? It might say in one of those welcome pamphlets, if you have one.

[She pauses.]

You know, this is a really sweet thing for you to do.

I think one of the dogs ate it. [ If you can't have humour about horror what can you have? ] How about you take me there?

[ And pause. Watch her put on her sweet Thea princess smile ]

That's just me.

A party for those who died... It's unfortunate such a thing never occurred to any of us.

[It is probably because dying is relatively common, but that really shouldn't mean that they treat like it's okay or normal.]

You could always think of it as a welcome back party or something? Maybe they just took a trip.

I think it's something very similar to that anyway. It's a bit like being in a coma, I imagine.

I guess that beats actually being dead. [ Even though it definitely looked like it ]

Did it happen to you?

I believe I like the way you think. [Women who like parties are high up on Balthazar's list of People to be Friends With.]

Can't help with a location, but if you pull it off, I'll be happy to bring some food and liquor.

Good, because this place is seriously lacking in decent entertainment. [ Without having to magic ask it ]

You better get 'shopping'. [ And she air quotes ] This party's happening.

I love a party. And I agree, we need more to do between hideous crises. Cheap liquor or good liquor? Or both?

You might want to see if there are any musicians about, too.

Definitely the good stuff. I don't want any complaints.

Do you know any?

Dunno if I can be much help seeing as I just got here myself, but a party sounds fucking amazing.

[Any entertaining distraction is warmly welcomed.]

Though I'll lend a hand if you need it.

What do you say to pushing fliers under everyone's doors? Just as a reminder.

[Perhaps under different circumstances, she would be less willing to lend a hand to a stranger. However, even Alisha realizes that networking is critical; if she's going to be stuck in a mansion full of freaks, it's best to figure out which ones she needs to avoid and which are worth her time.

Going around with fliers will put her in the best starting position for that, and then she can continue her judgement at the party.]

Don't see why I couldn't. Reckon this means I have to go find you for the papers, doesn't it?

I could meet you halfway. Like... level two or something?

Loads of people are traumatised for life, and you decide getting them trashed is the answer?

[Luke needs a moment to think that one through, before mentally shrugging and deciding yeah, why not? Who doesn't feel better after waking up in a puddle of vomit and neon body paint?]

Guess no one can accuse you of being morbid.

You should always celebrate life, right?

Depends what kinda life it is, I guess. Or what kind of celebration. You know there's a lot of old people here, right? The kind that still remember when a Beethoven concert was the primary form of entertainment.

I wasn't forcing anyone to go. Either they do and enjoy it or they don't. Are you coming?

[Blaine sounds uncertain, like maybe he shouldn't be getting himself involved in this, since he's not really in the party mood.

Normally, he'd offer to take care of the music side of things, but he's not feeling that either, so if nothing else, he'll just settle for being there. Maybe.]

When are you planning on having this?

Edited 2013-08-11 20:58 (UTC)

As soon as possible. The quicker we can get back to normal, right?

Yeah, I guess so, but it might not be as fast as you're thinking. I'll stop by for a little while, though.

Well it's faster than it might have been without this. [ Truth that, or the truth she'd like to believe ]

Good. I'd have had to send someone to find you, otherwise.

Starting trouble already, sis?

[But he's grinning at her. He knows she has the same Queen spirit that he does. And even if she hits the scene harder than he does, and she has gotten into trouble with it already, he knows that she needs to unwind. And with the Queens, it's all or nothing. At least he could be there to make sure she didn't get into too much trouble.]

If you need any help, let me know. I know it's hard to believe that someone as old as me is any good at throwing a party but, you know me.

I'm just trying to help people feel better.

[ Look at her being all innocent, Ollie. There's nothing trouble about this ]

Where do you think I picked my tips up from? [ And from all the Queen family parties ] I could take the help.

[He gives her a knowing smile. It worries him that she may get into trouble here in Wonderland as well, but he'll try to keep a better eye on her here. So far, he hasn't seen much need for the Hood. He's been out patrolling, but there hasn't been anything that needed his attention.]

Want to meet up for lunch and talk about ideas? Or are you just going to make me do all the heavy lifting?
