MHA #6, Thursday Evening - PARTY!
Liam and Verity had decided to celebrate the whole 'officially moving in together' with a housewarming of sorts. Never mind that even before the rest of his stuff had made it over there, Liam had basically been living at the apartment in practice if not in name. Look, they wanted to throw a party, they were throwing a party. 'Housewarming' was just a convenient excuse.
The weapons that usually were strewn about the apartment had all been stashed in the bedroom, and there was a good selection of food and drinks (both alcoholic and non) laid out on the kitchen table. They might be in debt to the various restaurants in Fandom for providing the spread, but no one wanted to nosh on Verity's "leftover Chinese food fajita specials." The mice had even been bribed with a selection of the appetizers to stay away from the table of food. (They had not, however, been expressly forbidden from trying to convince anyone to give them food once it had left the table, so... fair warning.)
Coats go in the spare room and please don't touch the Barbie Dream House. Unless invited to by the mice, of course.
[ooc: up early for SP because things like timezones and work get in the way. open to all friends, neighbours, ex-housemates, coworkers, friends-of-friends, etc. basically, if you're an adult you got an invite.]

Re: Arrive & Mingle!
Less condescension now, but the gruff drawl still didn't sound the most cordial, most likely.
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
"And I'm good with Verity," she said, since 'Very' was pretty much a friends and family nickname. "So, you're the one who introduced Liam's face to your fist when he was being an idiot."
She looked Beau over and nodded with approval. "Good. He needed someone to jumpstart his brain."
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
Really, she had to respect anyone who'd go around freely volunteering that a girl had beat him up.
"Hey, if it worked, cool. I didn't really ask questions, but sometimes you just need a good ass-kicking, right?"
She'd love the way the Prices answered their phones, by the way.
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
It was a bad look when the ass-kickee was a romantic partner, you know?
"On the other hand, now he might believe me when I tell him he drops his guard on a goddamn feint."
FINALLY A CONVERSATION SHE COULD ENJOY.
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
"Dude. Dude, I know, right? Like, at first I thought it was a lucky hit, and then the third time I was all, 'no, okay, there's definitely a pattern here.'"
Oh look, a conversation about hitting things! The kind where she was least likely to inadvertently insult people!
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
"Exactly," she said, completely understanding Beau's exasperation. "One day I'm not going to be able to pull my strike back in time and then he's going to have a bloody nose. And, yet, somehow, everyone'll think I'm the asshole, you know?"
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
She'd gotten plenty of bloody noses in her own training, so her perspective might be a little skewed.
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
"It will if it happens enough time," Verity said philosophically. "Pain's a better teacher than most anyway."
Please see: The Price Guide to Raising Children.
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
She could be magnanimous about that! She'd already decided Verity was pretty cool, anyway.
"So like, congrats on getting stuck with Liam, I guess. He's a good guy, you know?"
Yeah. Giving effective compliments: still definitely not her strong point.
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
Just...wrongly.
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
Someone had issues about that sort of thing. It was entirely possible.
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
BECAUSE YES, EXACTLY.
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
"I wouldn't turn down either but I have a definite soft spot for booze."
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
And Caleb was going to be mad about it someday when she just yelled at him for trying to go over everybody's head about what to do with the stupid ritual bowl. Honestly.
"I mean, it's fine if it doesn't come to that too, you know," she added, as if it had occurred to her that maybe she shouldn't sound like she was chomping at the bit to beat up on her friends.
