At Harriet's housewarming party, the atmosphere was a mix of casual banter, personal revelations, and playful teasing among the attendees in the elegant dining room. Early in the evening, Samantha, Avi, Lydia, and others engaged in light conversations, revealing slices of their personalities and relationships. Tensions flared briefly between Jodie and Caelum over past incidents, with Viktorin also drawn into the mix due to a previous conflict involving Bjarne.

Throughout the night, the sense of community among the attendees was palpable, highlighted by their easy camaraderie, shared laughter, and willingness to delve into both light-hearted and profound discussions. The gathering not only served as a celebration of Harriet's new home but also as a testament to the intricate relationships and mutual support within their circle.
(Harriet's Housewarming Party)
[Sun Mar 17 2024]
The Dining Room
The dining room is a spacious and elegant area, with a large, rectangular
table at its center. The table is made of polished mahogany, its surface
gleaming in the light that streams in from the tall windows lining the
western wall. The windows offer a stunning view of the estate's grounds, with
lush gardens and manicured lawns stretching out towards the horizon. The
walls of the dining room are painted a soft, neutral color, with intricate
crown molding adding a touch of sophistication to the space. A magnificent
chandelier hangs above the table, its crystal droplets casting a warm,
inviting glow throughout the room. The floor is covered in plush carpeting,
its rich hues complementing the wood tones of the table and chairs. To the
north, a set of double doors leads to the kitchen. To the south, another set
of doors opens up to the living room, creating a seamless flow between the
two spaces.
It is about 50F(10C) degrees.
Samantha slips up to get the door.
"Say whatever you want, you know what happened last time." Jodie replies to Caelum with a hard stare. She plops back down into her seat and takes a drink of her new found beer before she finally peels her attention off Caelum, next she directs her focus to Viktorin "Hey Vik. I heard Bjarne was dick riding you for a while. How come?"
"At least she's bothered coming up with a basis for her belief," Avi murmurs thoughtfully in the wake of the Inigo's expression of his girlfriend's religious conviction. He leans back in his seat then, glancing down at his phone screen.
Lydia barely touches the food, quietly sipping her drink as she glances around the faces, half-following what little of the conversation she can actually understand. After a while she lightly rubs her forehead and gets to her feet. "I should probably get going as well. Bit of a headache..."
"Tomas ran off with the last of the meat option." Samantha explains apologetically to Autumn,
"Thank you so much for coming, Lydia," Harriet expresses to Lydia. "I completely understand headaches," she tells her empathetically.
"Evening," Autumn greets the crowd, also snickering at Jodie's words before she waves her hand a bit. "Aw man. Looks like I'll find something else to eat."
"Thanks for coming." Samantha echoes Harriet to Lydia, "Sorry you didn't get naked."
"I do, I hope you didn't limp too hard." Caelum marks off-handedly towards Jodie - this time without a smile at all as he lifts one arm off the table to give an almost dismissive wave her way while he turns away too. Samantha gets a more genuine smile, still as fanged as it could ever be - and he remains silent again. His head tilts once more, eyes cast on Sienna with notably less venom in the green of them while he's entirely, maybe a little too content in leaving her to answer all questions.
Viktorin waves towards Autumn, smiling fondly at them. "Hey Autumn." His mood changes a bit, however as Jodie speaks, his lips quirking faintly into a frown. Then he informs the woman, "Well... no clue. Beyond me gifting him with the ick-touch any time he's captured and in front of me."
Harriet watches as Alexander just passes out at the table. She raises both of her naturally arched eyebrows at the sleeping fellow before nodding to Lydia as Samantha says what she does. "There's always next time. For the nakedness."
Harriet waves to Autumn, smiling at her warmly. "Welcome."
Annie follows the slump of Alexander's form, smiling sympathetically. "That beer must have hit him too hard. The first casualty to war," she quips lowly.
Lydia snorts "Little point with everyone connnubially prevented from enjoying it. Anyway, thanks for having me boss. G'night everyone."
Annie says "Later, Lydia."
Jodie's head tilts a bit like a dog's would when hearing a strange noise, but this is at Viktorin, "Ick-touch? You mean you molested him?"
Harriet agrees with Annie completely, "The Master Ninja will have to show him The Way at some point."
"I think more like molested his soul." Samantha explains for Jodie.
Viktorin shakes his head, informing Jodie, "No. I dunno how to explain it better than, it's gonna fuck you up for a while."
Annie takes a sip from her diminishing glass of Merlot wine, as if agreeing to Harriet's sentiments. Wine must be the way.
"Bjarne did told me his blood tasted good," Autumn murmurs towards Jodie before she turns to Harriet. "Oh, speaking of, he now has phone."
"Hello, Autumn," Silas says to Autumn, waving to the new arrival and waves to a new departure, Lydia, "See you, Lydia."
"Ah, so he made him listen to this basic white bitch music on repeat till sanctuary saved his life." Jodie claps at Samantha with a bit of a rude smirk. "Just kidding. Maybe."
"I heard he is currently indisposed," Harriet tells Autumn, shrugging a little. She shoots a /look/ at Jodie, though.
"What do you think she meant by connubially prevented from enjoying it?" Samantha wonders after a few moments, "I keep trying to figure out what she meant to say and it's completely eluding me." She admits.
Viktorin squints at Jodie, informing her, "I do -not- listen to basic white bitch music."
"How do you know? Name a few of your top artists from Spotify," Sienna immediately challenges Viktorin.
"Pretty sure she meant everyone is in relationships and thus can't appreciate her nudity," Avi translates for Samantha.
Jodie does a little shoulder dance by shimming them for a few seconds while she stays seated then she grins at Viktorin, "What, this music doesn't do it for you?" as she references the background music that is being played for the party.
"Yeah but what word as connubially supposed to be?" Samantha asks Avi, seemingly very concerned with figuring this out.
"Maybe she just wanted to feel smart?" Sienna supposes over toward Samantha, catching snippets of the exchange between her and Avi.
"Connubial is like, 'married' so I guess she tacked on some extra letters to make it fit the sentence?" Avi guesses. "I'm not married, but also I don't think I've had enough to drink to appreciate anyone's naked body at the moment."
"One might infer she's alluding to the constraints or limitations imposed by marriage or a marital-like commitment that, in her view, hinder one's ability to relish certain experiences or freedoms fully," Harriet elucidates with her characteristic eloquence to Samantha. "Since, you know, it's an archaic way of expressing how the bonds of a close relationship might sometimes feel restricting, even if they're also a source of joy and fulfillment. It seems she's grappling with the paradoxes that intimate partnerships often present."
"Oh apparently it's a word." Samantha mentions after checking something on her phone. "Huh, never heard that one before. It means of or relating to the married state for any other dumb people."
"Connubially," Annie repeats slowly and deliberately after hearing that term from Samantha. Looks like someone learned something new in their vocabulary, though the way she's staring around meaningfully could indicate she might ask what it means. Luckily for her, Google is never out of reach for too long, and she confides with her phone, twitching spasmodically like she just got stung by something.
Slanting his eyes, the Czech informs Sienna, "Charles Mingus, Yusef Lateef, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane..." Then Viktorin informs Sienna, "I'm getting into Synthwave though, I suppose. Honestly, I have a whole list of my favorite artists by genre."
Avi stares at Harriet.
"What /is/ even white bitch music anyway?" Autumn wonders of Jodie. "Songs that appear in clubs?"
"I think your basic white bitch music is the best." Caelum affirms Samantha in-between all the talk, "Don't mind Jodie, she wouldn't know quality if it crashed on her trailer." There would've been more trash talk, surely, if he hadn't knit his brows and stared at Harriet with a perplexed look at all that she said. Like the whole thing somehow went right over his head, and he can't even afford to say a 'what'.
Harriet simply glances around, sort of oblivious.
"Does she talk that much in bed?" Avi asks Samantha so casually he clearly thinks it's what everyone is wondering anyway.
"Real question is - does she talk like /that/ in bed?" Caelum shoots after Avi.
"I feel like I gotta be in the right head space to appreciate naked bodies generally." Samantha says, "I suppose drinking can help getting there though. Always a little awkward when you're in a strip club or something though and it feels rude to not act all excited by the titties." She claims, grinning at Caelum, "Thanks Cae, I don't really put much of my ego in my music taste anyway, I like stuff that feels good in my ear holes and who cares who else likes or doesn't like it you know?" She says with a little shrug and waggles her hand at Avi, "Sometimes."
Harriet narrows those hazel eyes, as she tries to figure out what exactly is going on.
"The type of music that appears in clubs that basic white bitches get all excited to dance too." Jodie explains patronizingly to Autumn. She drinks again from her bottle and goes on to pester Viktorin a little more, "So Mr Icky Touch, have you been getting Icky with anyone else lately?"
"Probably smaller words, you know lessies need their tongue free for other things," Avi figures in reply to Caelum.
"The inability to dirty talk while giving head is one of my greatest frustrations in life." Samantha admits as she takes another drink.
"Maybe all the gags and ropes are so she talks less?" Caelum supposes towards Avi after that bit - but his words seem to give much thought to ponder. So, Caelum does what any straight male does and gives a critical look between Harriet and Samantha -- not a doubt at what he's imagining.
With her left eyebrow arched up far higher than its near twin on the other side of her face, Harriet squints at Avi, and then at Caelum before she looks over at Samantha.
Autumn lets out a laugh before she reaches out towards a tray to grab a flute of dessert wine. "I see," she speaks while she laughs again. "Bondage can be sexy," she turns to tell Caelum with a small blush and a grin.
"Icky? With someone? Like... giving them the fell-touch?" Viktorin asks Jodie, attempting to blink away a puzzled look. There's a bit of a flushed look upon his cheeks as he hums softly, "No, I try not to hurt people unless they deserve it."
"Is it still a thing for basic white bitches to label things as 'for basic white bitches'?" Avi wonders. "I thought Taylor Swift defeated that bit of patriarchy in our zeitgeist." He then peers at Caelum. "Do you prefer more talk or less?"
Samantha gives Harriet an innocent look back and grins at Autumn, "How are things going for you anyway? Any luck with trying to find a date?" She wonders.
Jodie waves dismissively at Viktorin, "You are hopeless." she asserts then she bobs her head to Avi and lets him know, "I am what I am."
Alexander blinks
"Definitely." Caelum smirks over at Autumn, every fang put on display in the brief bit of distraction from his thoughts before Avi peers at him, and he sinks back in his chair with a little shrug of a single shoulder rolling. Still smiling. "I think I prefer more. Being vocal in bed is a huge turn on."
Alexander says "Yes, louder, better."
Alexander says stirring from his half asleep posture moments later.
"Same, same," Avi tells Jodie. "Also - big same," Avi agrees with Caelum. His gaze shifts to Sienna next as if this an interview. "What about you? Prefer verbal, or just manly grunting?"
"Just as long as it isn't someone going..." Samantha starts, dropping into a lower pitch, "You like that don't you, yeah..." She mimics with a snicker.
Sienna glances up from enjoying her lasagna to squint toward Avi and Caelum with their questions. "Wait, like what do you mean by being more vocal? Actual good dirty talk or just hearing your partner express how good they feel with moaning?" A quiet pause when the question's turned on her, deciding, "I like it when it's creative, and a little degrading, but not too much or it throws me off."
"Why not? It's polite to ask," Avi argues for the sake of arguing.
Alexander adopts a very deep voice, "Take it, take it all." It's very flat.
Turning to Samantha, Autumn takes a sip of her wine and shakes her head. "It's been... fine, I guess," she tells the woman. "It's been kind of rollercoaster of conflict..." She then looks away to tells Alexander, "Some guys like loud, especially when they want to hear moaning."
Samantha throws a scrunched up napkin at Avi's face.
Caelum suddenly coughs out, interrupted in his completely false breathing when Samantha drops in a lower pitch. "Fuck." He has to smirk, clear his throat - and reach for another beer.
Sienna winces at Alexander's words. "That's terrible."
"If someone is going to be vocal during it all, they can't be faking it." Jodie gives her two cents since the conversation turned to sexual themes. "Nothing more fun than a man who can't hold in his sounds."
Autumn says "Or one who begs for more."
"What about you? Does Sam give you good affirmations? Or do you do all of the talking?" Sienna wonders nosily about Harriet and Samantha. "To be honest, Harriet seems more like the affirmations type."
Samantha slips out of her chair to get the door.
Avi crinkles his nose, batting away Samantha's napkin. "Would you brats stop throwing shit at me?" he demands.
Viktorin flushes up furiously at the direction of the conversation, exhaling quietly.
Harriet seems to think this is the time to relay even more information about the previous topic. "Delving further into the matter, the term 'connubially prevented' serves as a poignant reflection on the complexities inherent in close, committed relationships. It suggests a lamentation over lost individual freedoms, albeit a perspective not shared by all," the brunette continues, her voice declaring her thoughts. "Yet, juxtaposed with this notion is the profound happiness and fulfillment that such bonds can also bring. In the case of my own relationship, I find myself in a state of constant wonder and exhilaration. Far from feeling constrained. Rather, I am liberated and exhilarated by our union. Each night, Sam captivates and astonishes me with the depths of her very being, and ignites a fervor within that I had not known possible. Our connection, rather than binding me, sets my very soul ablaze with a passion and contentment that words scarcely capture." Because that is totally acceptable to say at the dinner table. She enjoys more of her food.
Viktorin says "What? "
"Should I take notes?" Caelum leans over closer to Sienna when she explains her preference, an arm draped over the back of her seat as he grins. But he's also looking ahead from her, drifting attention from the Swann to Harriet and someone at Sienna's question.
"Should I take notes?" Caelum leans over closer to Sienna when she explains her preference, an arm draped over the back of her seat as he grins. But he's also looking ahead from her, drifting attention from the Swann to Harriet at Sienna's question.
Avi makes a small, impolite, gagging sound.
Jodie looks blankly down the table to Harriet at her long speech and when she's done she looks to the other people at the table trying to relay at 'what the fuck was that?' with her expression alone
Alexander nods to Harriet slowly, politely.
"So long as you don't sound like a thesaurus like her, you can try anything once at least," Sienna points a finger over toward Harriet as she leans subtly into Caelum. "Who talks the most between you and Ari in bed?" she grills Avi now.
Alexander says "Oh man. Imagining Harriet monologuing in the throes of passion."
Harriet raises both brows at Sienna's question, ignoring Avi's gagging. "She's good at words of affirmations," she expresses to Sienna. "I think I just write a novel about it, where she can convey all that she feels in one paragraph."
Autumn says "I think I got lost in most of that."
"She said she's whipped as fuck for her girlfriend and doesn't miss her freedom because her soul is on fire with the fervor of her brainwashing by a Temple agent," Avi translates Harriet's spiel for Jodie. "Me of course, his mouth is usually full," he tells Sienna.
Harriet stares at Avi. "That is /not/ what I said."
"I paraphrased," Avi says airily.
Caelum's grin falls way near instantly - and that perplexed look returns while he continues to stare at Harriet. Even when Sienna leans into him, it takes a moment before he can draw his arm further along the back of her seat around her shoulder. A smirk follows close, grateful for the distraction - and his beer is lifted in a distant toast towards Avi at his answer. "Nice."
"Ah" Jodie ahs to Avi, as if it all makes sense now. "Those tricky templars." she says with no shortage of irony.
"That's deep," Annie decides of what Harriet has sort of lectured to the gathering at the table. "I think." She probably didn't process it all fully. Avi's helpful interpretation has her looking aside, as if enlightened. She pushes herself up to a stand, dabbing at her lips with a napkin. "Alright. Time for Master Ninja to take her leave," she announces to the gathering.
Alexander says "Realizing why people are throwing things..."
"No problem." Samantha tells Tabitha as she slides back into her seat. "Gotta figure in Haven people are going to show up at all different times." She says and glances between Avi and Harriet, "I'm not sure if I missed something or not."
Alexander looks over at Tabitha and waves cheerily. Then to Annie. "A pleasure to meet you."
"Thank you so much for coming, Grand Master Ninja," Harriet tells Annie. "Thank you so much for coming, and for the Ninja."
"That's what I took away from me," Sienna tells Harriet in Avi's defense. As Annie announces her pending departure, the Swann vacates her chair long enough to walk around and open her arms to her sorority sister. "It was good seeing you, Annie. We need to catch up some time."
"Especially Miles," Autumn dryly muses to Jodie. "He always think I'm crazy."
"Don't get any dumb ass ideas," Avi warns Alexander mildly. "Nothing, nothing," he assures Samantha, lifting his drink toward Caelum at the same time.
"See you master ninja." Samantha tells Annie, raising a hand to wave to her.
Silas listens to what Harriet has to offer to the table and his reactions is a cheeky smile. He leans into Annie a little as he reaches for his wine glass to take another sip, "I mean I think if you want to summarize all of that you could just say she feels the fireworks." He chuckles at Annie's title as if he almost had forgotten, "I think that is my exit as well, everyone, as I am Master Ninja's ride since Ninjas that have the Master title don't have to dirve themselves anywhere."
Alexander says "Please, all of my ideas are extremely wise ass."
"See you around, Master Ninja." Caelum nods to Annie, then when Avi meets the lift of his drink, he takes a long sip. Very much satisfied.
Viktorin waves towards Annie and Silas, "See ya guys."
"Goodnight, Silas. It was good to see you," Harriet tells Silas. She smiles warmly at Tabitha, welcoming her as she is saying farewell to others, "I'm so very glad you could make it, Tabitha."
"Later, cooler Arkwright," Avi offers his farewell to Silas in turn.
"Anytime," Annie says offhandedly, like it were no big deal. She sidles over to happily receive the warm embrace from Sienna. "I'll catch you guys around," she says politely, holding a hand out to wave farewell to everyone here. "I do need a ride," she acknowledges Silas. She may be dubbed the Master Ninja, but her exit kinda lacks any smoke screen. Or just disappearing like one ought to. Instead, she just scrambles for the door, vacating the premise.
"And you too, Silas. Don't be a stranger." Caelum adds after noting that the other Arkwright is also in fact leaving. "Let me know if you want a hug too, Sigma's gotta look out for each other."
Alexander says "Ah! Where did she go!"
Alexander says "She was right here and now she's gone..."
Tabitha does come in empty handed, but she does root around in her tote for something. She pulls out a camera as if she is ready to take a picture of the group that does remain. "I near did not come, but also, I had to at least stop in. Say hi." Her hair is still wet, and a little clingy to her cheeks, showing various nearly faded abrasions.
"I think they're just escaping before they have to take a turn answering questions about dirty talk preferences." Samantha decides.
Alexander shakes his head, mystified.
"Goodnight everyone," Silas says to the table as he rises up, and pushes his wine glass away, "Thank you for inviting us all over!" He chuckles at Avi, "See you, cool, but not coolest... Arkwright?" He looks towards where the woman was beside him and then she is just gone, just like that! He seems confused.
Harriet listens to the music, and then shares, "This song takes me back to Moscow, nearly a decade ago, when I was waiting in an airport and some man came up to me asking if I was available as a Mail Order Bride, and when he was told 'no,' he asked if Kylie Minogue was available."
Viktorin waves towards Tabitha, greeting them with a "Hey Tabs," before returning his attention to the table.
Samantha blinks rapidly at Harriet, "Well at least he had his priorities I suppose." She says, "I've never met a real mail order bride, I guess it's probably all online sort of stuff now though."
"That's...random as fuck, unless you were in a Moscow airport with Kylie Minogue? Which is honestly still random as fuck," Avi decides. "Hey Tabitha," Avi greets Tabitha.
"Jesus Christ." Caelum shakes his head towards Harriet, smirking still - but he does turn his attention to Tabitha too, tilt his head with a kept smile and an upnod. "Hey, Tabs."
Autumn continues to drink her flute of wine, falling silent as she looks down at her phone.
Harriet expresses, "There is a woman in Franklin, Tennesse... actually I think she moved to a nearby town, who is a Chinese Mail Order Bride who owns a very successful tea shop," to Samantha. "I met her once. She's very sweet." She nods to Avi, "It was one of the weirdest experiences of my life, aside... from everything else that happened that day in that airport... it was one of the less weird occurrences, actually..." Her lips purse some, and then she nods at Samantha.
Alexander blinks at Harriet. He drinks his beer thoughtfully, deciding perhaps that that's the best thing to do in the situation.
Alexander snags a fresh one once his current one is depleted, perhaps deciding it's hest he be well armed.
"I hate airports, some of my worst memories are in them," Avi empathizes with Harriet. "By the way, I couldn't think of a housewarming gift you two wouldn't have already bought for yourselves while decorating, but everyone knows the only thing rich people want but don't have is even more money, so I sent over a contribution to your Household Wine Fund," Avi tells the hosts regarding his idea of a gift. "I should get going though, full schedule of classes tomorrow," he groans.
Harriet bows her head in respect and gratefulness to Avi. "Thank you, Avi."
"The American dream." Samantha decides and nods at Avi, "Appreciate that." She says, "Say hi to Ari for us."
Viktorin waves towards Avi.
"Hey," Tabitha greets to the group, bringing her camera up to snap a picture of those at the table for a random af photo, some drinking, some eating, all chatting. "Wouldn't it still have been online a decade ago? Maybe just more along the dark web or something."
"Will do, he'll kick himself for missing the party," Avi tells Samantha as he rises from his seat. "If anything embarrassing happens to anyone after I'm gone - send me a picture," he requests, lifting a hand in farewell to the table as he heads for the door.
Harriet blows a kiss after Avi.
"Well I don't think mail order means like smuggled or anything." Samantha says, "Probably just kind of like those dating websites for sugar daddies and sugar babies but ones for specifically people looking to move countries and stuff like that." She speculates and shrugs a little, "At least once nice thing about Haven is you don't have to rely on dating apps too much, does anybody know anyone in town who met their partner or fuck buddy on MyHaven though?"
"See you around, Avi." Caelum offers a less fanged smile at the Arkwright - but before he can say anything else, or really do, he's distracted by the snap of a camera that makes him grimace slightly. He casts a look over at Tabitha, "You should've told me to step out if you were going to do that."
Alexander nods to Avi and waves, seeing him off. He gazes at Caelum. "Wait, is that a real thing?" he asks.
"Do you think I'd have any luck on one of those sugar daddy websites? I could use a rich daddy." Jodie ask Samantha when the subject is brought up, her tone deadpan as if she was erious
"Yeah, that picture is ruined now." Caelum answers off-handedly towards Alexander without looking, and instead stares at his bottle. He swirls it a little, then sets it aside on the table. Not willing to drink more, it seems.
"Sam and I met the old fashioned way, by me hitting her in the left boob with my riding crop, and her stabbing me in the side with a giant fork," Harriet shares openly with the group about her and Samantha.
"I can crop you out." Tabitha assures Caelum. "Or I can entitle the picture, once I have it developed ..." She pauses, and snaps yet another picture. "Seven Days." Its whispered.
"I remember chatting with one guy and then we grew to become fuck buddies," Autumn speaks out, her eyes still on her phone. "We did get kinky and fucked few times before he left town and never returned."
"I'd think they'd normally go for the more classic big tittied blonde types." Samantha speculates to Jodie after looking her over, "But to be fair that's just me guessing, I have no idea." She admits, "One of the straight guys needs to jump in here and tell us what kinda girl you'd pay for if you were rich and trashy."
"I don't think I ever bothered to swipe right on someone for dating on MyHaven, but I did get some dick pics sent to me on it once or twice," Sienna shares with Samantha, a hand pressed to her chest with a soft coo at Harriet's words. "Aww, was it love at first smack of the crop?"
Sienna looks around the table before she scouts out Alexander and Viktorin. "Well, there's the two of you. If you had tens of millions of dollars, what kind of trashy girl would you be paying for to be your sugar baby?"
At least that makes Caelum smirks, and he casts a look at Tabitha. "Alright, fair enough. Crop out the warped blot, or else.." It's whispered; "Seven Days." To Jodie's question prompting all the straight guys - he smirks, and wisely keeps his mouth shut.
Harriet nods to Sienna. "They say my smack to Samantha's tit with the crop turned her gay."
"I'd just put in my profile that I'm willing to accept a paid for boob job." Jodie suggest helpfully, she grins then flicks her gaze across to Viktorin and Alexander, "For a million I'd be doing some pretty gross shit."
Alexander looks sympathetically to Caelum, but can't help but snort at Tabitha's dumb joke and shakes his head. He looks over to Sienna and raises his brow. "If I had millions? Why would you go for a sugar baby? Bleh. I mean, maybe that's all you can get when you have that much money," he smirks.
Viktorin say to jodie If I had a million bucks, I wouldn't pay you for a boob job.
"It took a little while after that." Samantha claims, "Although it did make me go, holy fuck that chick is strong." She explains, "Which sort of set things in motion." She says, "I don't think any sugar baby gets millions of dollars even if the dude is a billionaire." She claims.
Autumn says "Some people like small tits. Others huge ones."
Alexander gasps at Viktorin. "Don't be so greedy," he chides him. "If Jodie wants a boob job she can have one."
"I think if I was a rich older dude looking for a sugar baby..." Samantha speculates after a moment, tapping a finger on her bottom lip, "I'd probably want someone really bubbly and fun who was like proactive so I could just chill and be rich and she'd make our lives fun and sexy and stuff."
Caelum smirks at his phone, gives a small shake of his head - sends another text, then turns a look between all the sugar baby talk at Harriet and Samantha. "How many horses do you guys have? Just out of curiosity. And which one is Harry's favorite?"
Harriet glances down at her own modest chest, and she tells Autumn, "Indeed."
Alexander nods agreeably with Samantha. "That sounds exhausting. I'd just want someone who just kind of exists in my space and like once a month we have some kind of insane adventure, nonsense life and death stuff. The other 29 days, largely napping."
Harriet tells Caelum, "I only have one horse at the moment, so I need to convince Sam to not be ... iffy about them so I can get her one."
"I just don't trust them." Samantha asserts, "I can tell they're plotting something."
Viktorinsomeone
"Just the one, right." Caelum nods to Harriet, somehow suddenly serious - when he nods again, as if coming up with a thought. Then he turns a look at Samantha. "You should get more horses." Then back to Harriet. "Do you lock your stables at night?"
Finishing with some random pictures of the party at the dining table, Tabitha stores her camera away and picks her phone from a pocket instead. "Sounds like I've missed a lot." She nods to Harriet and Samantha, "Horseback riding is relaxing, I find. When you get them to do the things you want."
"That sounds like feline," Autumn tells Alexander, giggling while she nods at Harriet. Wiggling her body, she says, "I'm planning to let my hair grow for now."
"I happen to have it on record that your body shape is actually starting to trend again on social media," Sienna offers in reassurance to Jodie from across the table. "Plus, my titties are small too and the boys love it."
"Excuse me?" Caelum tilts his head from the conversation, stares at Sienna with a knit of his brows. "What boys?"
"How long do you want it?" Samantha asks Autumn, narrowing her eyes a little suspiciously at Caelum.
Harriet peers at someone suspiciously, like she has as much trust in him right now as Samantha has in horses. "Just the one, Diamente Allegra," she tells him, narrowing hazel eyes a bit, and then she nods to Tabitha. "It is incredibly relaxing." She squints at Autumn some, and then she nods.
Harriet peers at Caelum suspiciously, like she has as much trust in him right now as Samantha has in horses. "Just the one, Diamente Allegra," she tells him, narrowing hazel eyes a bit, and then she nods to Tabitha. "It is incredibly relaxing." She squints at Autumn some, and then she nods.
"That is the weirdest compliment I've ever received." Jodie tells Sienna with a smirk, "If a guy came up to me in a bar and said my body shape is trending on social media, can I buy you a drink? I'd probably blow him for the creativity of it all."
Harriet blinks a bit over Jodie's words.
Distracted as he is, Caelum still visibly pulls up a notepad on his phone after Harriet answers, and types down 'Diamente Allegra'. "Thanks, Harry." Very, very suspicious indeed.
Sienna looks up at Caelum with an expression of wide-eyed innocence. "I mean, I dunno? Can I just default and say Sam tells me my ass looks good all the time, and I don't need to worry about my little titty problem?"
"Well, not too long but long enough," Autumn tells Samantha, raising her brow at Caelum before she looks at Jodie and Sienna. "Alexander once told me that small breasts are more sensitive, and I have small breasts as well."
"Sounds like one of the kinds of bad pick up lines that Hux would have come up with, the night Case, him and I were at Black Rose." Tabitha says with a chuckle, after Jodie admits to possibly just giving the guy a blow. "It's worthy of something alright."
"Does that mean something?" Samantha wonders of Harriet when she mentions the horse name and nods in agreement with Sienna, "Sienna has an amazing ass, she got it out in strip laser tag one time and it's been indelibly burned into my mind ever since." She claims.
Caelum gives a look at Sienna, one just as suspicious as the one Samantha and Harriet gave to him before he's distracted again. There is no attempt to hide away how he looks at the Swann, from neck to hip, eyes narrowing eventually as if he's assessing whether Samantha has any credibility in her claim regarding Sienna's ass. "Nice."
Alexander smiles at Autumn. "I was thinking the same thing actually," he gestures helplessly. "Small titties, big titties, all titties," he says in agreement. He snorts at Jodie's response and almost spills his drink.
Alexander shrugs helpless. "All of it's lovely, to be frank. Tits, ass, torso and else. Guys or gals."
Harriet listens to all of the ass and tit talk, and then nods to Samantha. She expresses to Samantha, "It translates roughly to Lively Diamond," about her horse. "She's seven years old now and a Dutch Warmblood."
"Do you have a lot of experience in the titties department to weigh in if that's a true thing?" Sienna asks of Harriet and Samantha aside regarding Autumn's claim. "Because I don't feel like mine are all that big, but they're just... normal on the sensitivity scale?" she muses, reaching to pour herself a glass of wine. "What about you?" she drags Tabitha into the conversation, only to reach over and give her sweater a playful tug. "Your titties look big though, so never mind."
"Alex is the type of guy who wants to be smothered to death by tits. That's literally how he's suppose to die." Jodie says, creating a prophecy and a lie all in one sentence.
Alexander says "Ah! How did you know!?"
Alexander shakes his head. "It's why I'm so chipper in town, I know how I'm supposed to go," he admits to Jodie.
Jodie says "It all makes sense now"
"That's beautiful." Samantha tells Harriet with a soft smile, "Do you know if it's one pair of multiple, and if it's human or like, demonic?" She queries.
Harriet clears her throat and she expresses to Sienna, "As a woman with rather small breasts," in a whole lot of honesty -- and it is plain to see. She does not have large breasts beneath that sweater dress. "I can confirm that smaller ones are very sensitive. Breasts all have the same amount of nerve endings, but the larger they are, the further they are spread out. So, the smaller they are, the most sensual experience the woman has, as they are so close together."
"I feel like I'm hiding in the girl's locker room and listening to something I'm not supposed to." Caelum admits in the midst of all the ass and tit talk, eyes now cast out between Sienna, Tabitha and Harriet - unable to hide away a smirk at the exchange.
Alexander waves his hand so so. "Large breasts can be sensitive too!" he insists to Harriet.
Harriet insists to Alexander, "Not as sensitive as my little ones!"
Viktorin snorts amusedly at Caelum's words, electing to remain silent.
Samantha blinks a little. "I didn't know that." She admits to Harriet before looking suspiciously at Alexander, "I feel like you need a team large boobs t-shirt or something."
"Unless you have a pair and speak from experience, I wouldn't die on that hill against them." Caelum shoots at Alexander, smirking.
"Looks like I found your kink," Autumn muses, giggling at Alexander. "Titties, big and small."
Harriet laughs softly over Autumn's words to Alexander.
Tabitha is surprised when her sweater is tugged down, however playfully by Sienna, to press the material tighter against her bosom and expose the decolletage with its minor, few and fading abrasions. "Ah... How about me for what? Sensitivity? I don't think that size really has anything to do with how much they are." But, she's no doctor!
"Are you still dating that gender swapping chick by the way?" Samantha wonders of Alexander, "I feel like I haven't seen her around but also I've been pretty busy with the house building and everything."
Harriet insists, "It's really a thing!" to Tabitha about her itty bitty titty committee club being more sensitive.
Harriet admits, "Although I've never had large breasts, so I cannot really compare. I can only go my medical studies."
Alexander shakes his head. "She vanished on me sadly," he shrugs helpless. "She's the one who gave me this knowledge!" he insists to Caelum. "I like small boobs! I swear!" he insists to Samantha.
Jodie looks from Samantha to Alexander with interest and confusion at what she just asked him and so she seeks clarification, "A gender swapping chick?"
"Anyhow, I'm not very familiar with the types of breeds of horses," Tabitha says to Harriet and Samantha. "I just rode when I was younger. Dad had a few that he stabled out in the Wilds..." She holds up her hands at the insistence. "I'll take your word for it."
Alexander says "Ah, Bianca. She and I came to town both unaware, and kinda of became aware at the same time. She was sweet, and curious, and fun. We explored some magic together and that was one she had a lot of fun with."
"I think what Harry means," Caelum explains, in his expert knowledge of breasts and medical know-how, "That when you have smaller breasts it's easier to apply pressure to more surface area." And he shalemelessly lifts his hands to cup the air, an imaginary set of small breasts. "So the closer nerve endings fire more, compared to.." Caelum now cups a comically massive pair of imaginary tits in the air, looking entirely serious about it down to the knit of his brows.
Alexander nods sagely at Caelum's instruction. Now it all makes sense, it seems
"Ah sucks." Samantha commiserates with Alexander, "There anyone else you've been seeing or interested in?" She wonders, arching an eyebrow at the size of imaginary breasts Caelum mimes. "She did magic to swap gender back and forth kinda thing." She adds on to Alexander's explanation for Jodie.
Harriet gives a confirming nod to Caelum. "I mean, I can cum from nipple stimulation alone," she overshares, pointing her fork about as she gesticulates.
Autumn says "What if some huge tits are sensitive? Is it uncommon?"
"Oh..cool, find a girl who will grow a dick for you." Jodie says, giving sage advice before taking a swing of her beer
Caelum drops what he's doing instantly at the song - seriously bobbing to that jam in that continously drifting attention of his. "Oh, shit. I like this."
Harriet gives a shrug Autumn's way uncertainly.
Samantha coughs lightly when Harriet overshares, "I imagine there's variability in sensitivity and size is just one of the factors." She says to Autumn.
"Or maybe some people like huge titties because they can suck on it," Autumn adds on with a small shrug until she nods at Samantha. "I see."
Alexander waves his hand. "No. I have a crush on basically everyone," he admits shamelessly. "But, world how it is, not really trying to pursue much right now." He laughs at Jodie.
Caelum's is back as soon as the song ends, and he rests his arm on the table again, lean on it as if nothing ever happened just now. A clueless look moves between everyone, as if he just missed something crucial. Like what Harriet said.
"I feel like little titties are way more suckable than big ones," Sienna argues against Autumn. "Big titties are more susceptible to sag and don't look all that cute without a good bra."
Alexander says "See! I'm not pushing any agenda, I'm just naturally trying to balance out the forces here."
"Sucking on my neck has more of an effect than my boobs though and I'm sure that can't be because the neck has more nerves so..." Samantha shrugs, "Who really knows, tis a mystery." She claims. "You'd think world being how it is would be a better reason to pursue something." She argues to Alexander.
Alexander nods. "I don't disagree, but for me, I'm kind of pulled in directions. Busy. I don't wanna leave someone hanging," he tells Samantha.
"Just don't make any kids, pretty bleak knowing the kid wont pass thirteen so wrap it up." Jodie says to Alexander, nodding in agreement with Samantha
"Sucking on your neck, huh?" Caelum tilts his head, as if to watch Samantha from a slightly askew angle. His lips turn in a slight smirk, baring every fang.
Alexander nods to Jodie. "Yeah kids are out of the question right now. Not that I uh, ever though I ever would have 'em."
Sienna lays her cheek to rest against Caelum's shoulder, lightly pressing a finger into the side of his neck. "Do you have a preference then? Big or small?"
"Ah, right," Autumn replies to Sienna, nodding again. "And I never even wore bra. I did sucked one or two before, if I remember correctly."
"I prefer the neck," Tabitha adds on with Samantha. "Too many people get hyperfocused on the boobs, and it... well. There's something more erotic when its the neck. Like, at the nape of it."
Alexander says "Neck is the best. I think that's unisex."
Alexander says "Well, maybe not -best- but..."
Harriet wriggles her eyebrows at Samantha in regards to her neck, and then winks at her.
"If you're going to be putting your mouth on me, I absolutely prefer it to be the inner thighs on your way to giving me great head," Sienna opines quietly into the rim of her wine glass, taking a drink.
Alexander gestures to Sienna, as if perhaps that was where he might have been going.
Harriet glances over at Samantha as Sienna talks about what she prefers.
Caelum draws his arm around Sienna's shoulder, over the back of her seat to inadvertantly cause the drop of her cheek on his shoulder to find a closer spot to his neck while she pokes him. "Sure." And she gets a look, one that trails down from her eyes, down to her chest. He doesn't answer, only keeps that fanged display of dentristy in his smile. What he answered to isn't entirely clear - coming after Sienna's opinion of where a mouth should go.
Alexander realizes he's a bit red faced and takes a long drink.
Samantha nods in agreement with Tabitha, "Different people have different erogenous zones though I think." She claims, glancing over at Harriet and grinning, "Don't get any ideas, I got school in the morning." She says, shifting her chair over a little to lean her head on Harriet's shoulder and blinking at Sienna, "Oh were you asking me? Smaller generally I think, I'm not super body focused though, not to sound like one of those annoying people." She admits with a little grimace.
Alexander says "It's only annoying if you're lying, though, the fact you're with Harry does suggest a pretty fortunate set of circumstances if body played no role."
Harriet turns her head at presses a kiss gently against Samantha's colourful hair as her girlfriend's head rests against her shoulder.
Harriet squints over at Alexander.
Alexander shrugs helplessly at Harriet.
Alexander says "Woops... "
"She is pretty gorgeous." Samantha agrees with Alexander, "But she's hottest when she's playing piano or like, smacking someone in the head with her hammer you know?"
Alexander says "Or with a riding crop"
Alexander says "Sorry, I suppose that gets referenced too much"
Harriet slips an arm about Samantha's side.
Alexander smiles faintly. "One of my first meetings with Harry was her kicking my ass with a hammer, I get it."
Sienna shakes her head at Samantha. "No, I was asking him," she explains, nudging Caelum briefly in the elbow. "And that's not super annoying from you. You tend to be pretty honest about that stuff, and it doesn't come off as condescending our fake woke like a lot of people do. I wish I could say that looks didn't matter as much for me, but I don't think I could be as invested in someone's personality or spirit romantically if there wasn't that first physical attraction. Otherwise, I'd have probably dated one of my sweaty, nice guy robotics teammates."
Lifting her free hand, Autumn points a finger at Alexander. "Suspicious," she snickers.
Alexander raises his hands. "E-eh!? I'm innocent," he insists, unsure of what he's suspicious of.
Autumn says "I'm just messing with you, Alexander."
Sienna's elbow only has Caelum smirk, unbudging. "So vain."
"Body does matter to me." Samantha clarifies, "But not like, specifics like height or cup size too much. I do think you need like, that kinda, animal attraction or whatever but I think even that is more how someone acts and stuff than the dimensions of their face as long as their face isn't like, super unfortunate." She opines.
"I'm not vain," Sienna furrows her brows at Caelum.
Alexander says "Yeah, a total hottie can be completely unattractive if they suck."
Tabitha nods again to Samantha, finding comaderie in what she says.
Alexander says "...But uh, I dunno, not all relationships are terribly deep either, so"
Alexander says "Shot, anyone?"
Harriet tenses her fingers lightly against Samantha's far hip. "I'll have a shot," she tells Alexander.
Jodie finishes off her beer then leaves the empty on the table as she pushes to her feet, somewhere along the way of describing ideal physical characteristics, she was lost to the conversation so its no surprise when she says, "I've made my monthly appearance. I'm going to piss off."
"You're not vain." Caelum affirms Sienna, and leans in while she furrows her brows to put a kiss on the top of her head. "You just like some eye candy. I get it."
Samantha stretches out a hand for one of the shorts, squinting a little as she tries to move it from Alexander's hand to hers with the force.
Viktorin waves towards Jodie, "Have a good one."
"Later Jodie." Samantha says, "We fed you dinner so now you shouldn't eat us next full moon." She reasons.
"I should probably be heading back, but I didn't want to come off as rude to not show up." Tabitha says. "I had intended to have a house warming party, myself, but it will have to be put on hold a little longer. I hope that you all come, when I do." She stands, and pauses. "I did not get to see the home in its entirity, which is a shame. But maybe another time?"
Alexander hands it over with a gracious nod of his head. Then gazes at Jodie. "A shame, it was good to see you, have a good night."
Harriet waits for Alexander to give her a shot, eying him expectantly. "See you, Jodie. Thank you for coming by," she tells Jodie. "Sorry you missed strip hide and seek."
Jodie pauses at Samantha's statement, thinks about it, then she shakes her head, "Maybe." she grins then and begins to head out, throwing her second peace sign of the night at Alexander. "I'm sorry I missed that too."
Autumn nods her head in farewell at someone.
Harriet extends to Tabitha, "Thank you so much for coming, Tabitha. I look forward to attending, and I appreciate you coming by."
"Sounds good." Samantha agrees with Tabitha, "Take care of yourself and thanks for coming."
Viktorin waves towards Tabitha too, murmuring softly, "Be safe, Tabs. Have a good eve."
Harriet nods to Alexander once he hands over a shot that she accepts.
Alexander says "Tabitha, one for the road?"
"Well, its a safer evening." Tabitha suggests to Viktorin. Maybe. Possibly. She smiles to the group and heads to the front door. "Thanks for the invite." She pauses and eyes the shot. "Fine. One for the road."
Alexander raises his glass. "To the love, health and happiness of our hosts! To their wonderful new home and to happy times ahead!"
Harriet lifts her empty glass that she had previously already thrown back down her elegant throat.
"Yes, we're awesome." Samantha agrees, toasting with her empty shot glass since she already drunk from it.
Autumn says "Thanks. "
Viktorin cocks an eyebrow at Alexander, curiously regarding them. "Ah, thank," he mumbles, eyeing his glass. Swirling it for a moment, the Czech stares. And then downs it.
Alexander fetches another then realizing they had drank already snags another one
Autumn says "Wrong one."
Tabitha hoists the shot of tequila upward toward Alexander for him to make his toast. When it is made, sheraises the tequila up higher, then finds the corner of the table to tap the bottom on. "Here, here."
Alexander exhales after his drink and makes a pleased noise. "That's really good," he admits.
"Try not to become roadkill on your way home." Caelum calls out after the departing Moore - a little too late. Instead of heckling her, he looks over at Tabitha with a slight smile. "See you around, Tabithany." But then he glances at his phone to check the time, "I should leave very soon too." The shot slid his way is left on the table - with an apologetic look that briefly lands on Harriet - before his attention tilts over at Sienna again. "I know I'm your ride, but I don't want to cut your time here short."
"Drinks are from Siren." Samantha explains, "You should all all your partying there because the drinks are awesome and the owner just moved into a giant expensive house." She explains.
Harriet nods in agreement with Samantha' claims.
Harriet explains, "I tried to get a group to the Siren the other night, but we got caught up at the barcade. Alexander kicked my ass at Dance Dance Revolution."
"I really, really did," Alexander beams. "I'll never do that well ever again. That was the last vestige of my boyhood days coming out to express itself."
Viktorin grumbles, "Honestly wish I came, instead of wasting my time with other things."
"-do- all your partying there." Samantha corrects herself, clearly tipsy as she makes the effort to enunciate clearly. "Well Barcade is also pretty cool." She admits, "Although I had to give up ownership cause I'm not important enough to be allowed to have two shops." She complains. "See you later Cae, thanks for coming and not eating or serial killing anyone." She tells Caelum.
Alexander says "Yeah, so, Vik, what the heck happened with you two? And oh, yeah, good to see you Caelum"
Tabitha licks the flavor of strawberry from her lips, brows shifting a little in a way to express -- something. "Well, then, good night, everyone. Have a lovely evening." She crinkles her nose at Caelum in a way to silently say: Really?
Viktorin waves towards Caelum, giving them a small smile.
Harriet bows her head respectfully to Caelum. "Thank you so much for joining us this evening."
Viktorin turns his gaze towards Alexander, asking him, "Mm?"
Alexander says "You and Lilah? She mentioned you broke up with her."
Viktorin admits to Alexander, "To be fair, we were 'exploring' things, as she put it. And... I'd rather not... go too deeply into that." A pained look creeps across his face.
"Don't be so formal with me Harry." Caelum calls out to Harriet with a smile, a single brow tipped. "Haven't we made some ground since our terrible first meeting?" His head shakes slightly - "I'm going to stick around until Sienna decides she wants to be ferried home or wants to stay. I'm not pressed for tme."
"Don't be so formal with me Harry." Caelum calls out to Harriet with a smile, a single brow tipped. "Haven't we made some ground since our terrible first meeting?" His head shakes slightly - "I'm going to stick around until Sienna decides she wants to be ferried home or wants to stay. I'm not pressed for time." (fix)
Arching her left brow, Harriet peers over at Caelum, "Something something, I wasn't wearing underwear?" in trying to recall their first meeting.
Alexander nods softly. "I just wanted to let you know, we were in that same position, and might wind up there again. And uh, if anything happened I should know of. Sorry though, I'm sure it's raw," he tips his head apologetically.
Harriet hopes, "Or was a wearing underwear, and that was all, in the reception area?"
Harriet really tries to remember which embarrassing incident began it all.
"I'd think you'd be getting more and more awake actually." Samantha points out to Caelum, "Also you and Sie were super cute hiding in the stables together, I think you make a great couple." She claims, frowning curiously at Harriet as she starts talking about underwear.
Viktorin shrugs, informing Alexander, "I tend to get attached easily, however, I rather viciously defend my boundaries. And if I have to hurt myself to make those boundaries stick, so be it."
Harriet tells Samantha, "I kept getting kidnapped either nude or in my panties."
"I should head home later," Autumn speaks after sipping from her shot or tequila. "Considering if should head to Berlin for business tonight, but after past week..." She lets out a low sigh before she turns to sip more of her wine.
Harriet mumurs, "That is how I met Solomon Inigo. Completely naked and for sale on a stage."
"I thought you guys had friction over Cae's vampire daddy and all that." Samantha points out to Harriet.
"Something something, corpse-cleaning, at Zdenik's couch." Caelum recalls somewhat bitterly in his smile. His attention shifts to Samantha, for a bit. "I'm not going to sleep, just rest a little until sun sets properly. I have something to do later on."
Harriet hmms but then tells Samantha about Caelum, "But I had met him prior."
"Zendinick... Zdenki, Znnnnidick..." Samantha tries a few times.
Alexander says "Thankfully I've never been sold naked, or clothed"
"Zdenik," Harriet offers to Samantha.
Alexander says "Almost once, to a fae guy who thought I was a virgin, but, uh...me and Bianca..."
Samantha nods against Harriet's shoulder. "That one. I've never been grabbed by the Syndicate either, their boss must be the Russian guy who wanted Harry to be his mail order bride or something."
Alexander gestures his hand in a you get it motion.
Autumn says "I did got grabbed by Syndicate three times."
"Twice a month I was getting shot in the neck by a tranquilizer dart and auctioned off for a while there," Harriet insists.
Alexander says "People just keep trying to drink my blood to become wizards."
Alexander frowns.
"I hadn't met you properly at the Homily, but you were not wearing underwear, that's true. Sam wasn't either." Caelum recalls near-perfectly, smiling for a little, while he then fills in everyone else on what he's talking about. "Harry was called after I was turned, because the first thing I did was leave a few too many corpses on my first night."
"Ah," Harriet exhales out as Caelum recalls their first meeting. "Yes, I remember. It was the Nativity play!" She starts laughing.
Then, Harriet nods to Caelum. "Yes, that was an... unforunate set of circumstances..."
Sienna raises her head off Caelum's chest from where she dozed off, wiping a hint of saliva from the corner of her mouth.
Caelum snaps his fingers. "Navity, right."
"You also got attacked by that horny werewolf who tore your top off." Samantha points out to Harriet, "You're just a magnet for trouble." She scolds, "Naked trouble." She clarifies and snorts softly. "I actually was wearing underwear, I was just fucking with Abigail." She claims.
Harriet prives a solemn nod to Samantha. "Yes, but at least when the horny werewolf released me, Abigail was there to don me in that shepherd's costume that was really just Beau's bedsheet with a hole cut out for a head to fit through... and Avi gave my his Vans."
Harriet shudders some, realising the reality of what that bedsheet may have gone through.
Alexander says "You were in the nativity as a halloween ghost?"
"Think it's time for us to head out?" Sienna asks of Caelum drowsily, then turns her eyes over to Samantha and Harriet to extend her gratitude, "Thank you for having us over tonight, ladies. It was really good seeing you both. The house is massive. I'm definitely coming back to visit and mooch off you guys."
"Did you get called out by those God-loving nuns?" Autumn wonders of Harriet. "They must really think everything is full of sin."
Maybe Caelum slurred a little. Too many drinks. He clears his throat, glances over at Sienna instead - watch the Swann rise and wipe her saliva with amusement. Which makes him recall something Samantha said to address it, belatedly. "You were /this/ close to catching us making out at the stables, Sam. You have the worst timing."
"Thanks Sie." Samantha says, raising her hand to the Swann, "You're for sure welcome any time. As long as you don't get your cooties in our stables." She clarifies after that comment from Caelum.
"Sam was the Angel Gabirel," Harriet informs Alexander, leaving out the part about just how slutty Samantha was in that role. She smiles sincerely to Caelum and Sienna, "Thank you both, so much, for coming tonight." She nods in agreement with Samantha.
Alexander nods sagely.
"Alright. I have a Swann to put to bed." Caelum slowly starts to rise, nods at both Samantha and Harriet, with a llook at Viktorin, Autumn and Alexander following. "Take care everyone, I'm sorry I couldn't eat too much, it did look delicious, but.." He leaves that to the air, and instead smiles again. Instead of lingering on that he starts to collect a drowsy Sienna by the arm, lead her against his chest to ask. "If you're too tired to walk, I'm going to carry you."
Alexander says "It was nice to see you, Caelum."
Alexander nods to someone as well
Alexander nods to Sienna as well
"We really were not that close to making out. Cae' is just being dramatic," Sienna quickly downplays Caelum's claims to Samantha with a sweet smile, starting to rise from her seat and gather her purse as she's collected. "Sounds like a plan to me," she tells Caelum, giving Alexander a quick, but lethargic smile as she sinks into her partner.'s arms.
"I think I'm going to head to bed." Samantha decides, pushing off from Harriet's shoulder and stretching her back before standing, she wraps her arms around Harriet from behind, bending down to rest her chin on the brunette's shoulder as she hugs her from behind and then pecks her cheek. "Thanks for coming all. And thanks for hosting and inviting people babes." She tells Harriet, "Tonight made this place really feel like home, you're the best." She says, giving another little squeeze before straightening.
Alexander says "It was lovely to get a chance to hang Sam."
Alexander says "I'm talking Harriet into a stoned movie night, help me out"
"Unusually, it /was/ nice seeing you." Caelum nods to Alexander. Something something, shared camaderie in appreciation of boobs, or something. Sienna is collected closer in his arms -- before she's swept off her feet in the next, "We were /so/ close to making out." He chides anyway, filing out. "Text me if you need me guys."
Harriet provides Samantha with an affection filled squeeze. "Sweet dreams, dearest," she tells her girlfriend, and she nods to Alexander. "Yes, he is pushing for a stoned movie night request."
"...I'm going to head home," Autumn rises from her seat and stretches her body. "Thank you for invitation, Harry. It was nice break."
Alexander says "Aw, is everyone going!?"
"I've heard worse ideas." Samantha claims, "Depending on the movie at least." She decides, sleepily staggering off to the east.
Harriet nods to Autumn. "Thank you so much for coming by. Sorry you missed strip hide and seek earlier."
Autumn says "It's alright."
Viktorin slowly rises, glancing apologetically towards Harriet. "May we talk later Chief? I'll explain everything. More specific than my franticness this morn..." He pauses and explains, "I have to meet with someone shortly, please pardon me."
Harriet provides Viktorin with a confirming nod.
Viktorin smiles wistfully, asking, "Ah. Which room did I leave my bag in?"
Alexander raises his brow curiously
As the evening progressed, the conversation shifted towards more intimate topics, including personal desires, relationship dynamics, and body preferences, which invited a mix of candid responses and playful banter. Harriet and Samantha, the hosts, shared moments of affection, underscoring their deep bond amidst the larger gathering. The party concluded with some guests, including Caelum, Sienna, and Autumn, deciding to depart, while others contemplated staying longer for relaxed entertainment suggested by Alexander. Throughout the night, the sense of community among the attendees was palpable, highlighted by their easy camaraderie, shared laughter, and willingness to delve into both light-hearted and profound discussions. The gathering not only served as a celebration of Harriet's new home but also as a testament to the intricate relationships and mutual support within their circle.
(Harriet's Housewarming Party)
[Sun Mar 17 2024]
The Dining Room
The dining room is a spacious and elegant area, with a large, rectangular
table at its center. The table is made of polished mahogany, its surface
gleaming in the light that streams in from the tall windows lining the
western wall. The windows offer a stunning view of the estate's grounds, with
lush gardens and manicured lawns stretching out towards the horizon. The
walls of the dining room are painted a soft, neutral color, with intricate
crown molding adding a touch of sophistication to the space. A magnificent
chandelier hangs above the table, its crystal droplets casting a warm,
inviting glow throughout the room. The floor is covered in plush carpeting,
its rich hues complementing the wood tones of the table and chairs. To the
north, a set of double doors leads to the kitchen. To the south, another set
of doors opens up to the living room, creating a seamless flow between the
two spaces.
It is about 50F(10C) degrees.
Samantha slips up to get the door.
"Say whatever you want, you know what happened last time." Jodie replies to Caelum with a hard stare. She plops back down into her seat and takes a drink of her new found beer before she finally peels her attention off Caelum, next she directs her focus to Viktorin "Hey Vik. I heard Bjarne was dick riding you for a while. How come?"
"At least she's bothered coming up with a basis for her belief," Avi murmurs thoughtfully in the wake of the Inigo's expression of his girlfriend's religious conviction. He leans back in his seat then, glancing down at his phone screen.
Lydia barely touches the food, quietly sipping her drink as she glances around the faces, half-following what little of the conversation she can actually understand. After a while she lightly rubs her forehead and gets to her feet. "I should probably get going as well. Bit of a headache..."
"Tomas ran off with the last of the meat option." Samantha explains apologetically to Autumn,
"Thank you so much for coming, Lydia," Harriet expresses to Lydia. "I completely understand headaches," she tells her empathetically.
"Evening," Autumn greets the crowd, also snickering at Jodie's words before she waves her hand a bit. "Aw man. Looks like I'll find something else to eat."
"Thanks for coming." Samantha echoes Harriet to Lydia, "Sorry you didn't get naked."
"I do, I hope you didn't limp too hard." Caelum marks off-handedly towards Jodie - this time without a smile at all as he lifts one arm off the table to give an almost dismissive wave her way while he turns away too. Samantha gets a more genuine smile, still as fanged as it could ever be - and he remains silent again. His head tilts once more, eyes cast on Sienna with notably less venom in the green of them while he's entirely, maybe a little too content in leaving her to answer all questions.
Viktorin waves towards Autumn, smiling fondly at them. "Hey Autumn." His mood changes a bit, however as Jodie speaks, his lips quirking faintly into a frown. Then he informs the woman, "Well... no clue. Beyond me gifting him with the ick-touch any time he's captured and in front of me."
Harriet watches as Alexander just passes out at the table. She raises both of her naturally arched eyebrows at the sleeping fellow before nodding to Lydia as Samantha says what she does. "There's always next time. For the nakedness."
Harriet waves to Autumn, smiling at her warmly. "Welcome."
Annie follows the slump of Alexander's form, smiling sympathetically. "That beer must have hit him too hard. The first casualty to war," she quips lowly.
Lydia snorts "Little point with everyone connnubially prevented from enjoying it. Anyway, thanks for having me boss. G'night everyone."
Annie says "Later, Lydia."
Jodie's head tilts a bit like a dog's would when hearing a strange noise, but this is at Viktorin, "Ick-touch? You mean you molested him?"
Harriet agrees with Annie completely, "The Master Ninja will have to show him The Way at some point."
"I think more like molested his soul." Samantha explains for Jodie.
Viktorin shakes his head, informing Jodie, "No. I dunno how to explain it better than, it's gonna fuck you up for a while."
Annie takes a sip from her diminishing glass of Merlot wine, as if agreeing to Harriet's sentiments. Wine must be the way.
"Bjarne did told me his blood tasted good," Autumn murmurs towards Jodie before she turns to Harriet. "Oh, speaking of, he now has phone."
"Hello, Autumn," Silas says to Autumn, waving to the new arrival and waves to a new departure, Lydia, "See you, Lydia."
"Ah, so he made him listen to this basic white bitch music on repeat till sanctuary saved his life." Jodie claps at Samantha with a bit of a rude smirk. "Just kidding. Maybe."
"I heard he is currently indisposed," Harriet tells Autumn, shrugging a little. She shoots a /look/ at Jodie, though.
"What do you think she meant by connubially prevented from enjoying it?" Samantha wonders after a few moments, "I keep trying to figure out what she meant to say and it's completely eluding me." She admits.
Viktorin squints at Jodie, informing her, "I do -not- listen to basic white bitch music."
"How do you know? Name a few of your top artists from Spotify," Sienna immediately challenges Viktorin.
"Pretty sure she meant everyone is in relationships and thus can't appreciate her nudity," Avi translates for Samantha.
Jodie does a little shoulder dance by shimming them for a few seconds while she stays seated then she grins at Viktorin, "What, this music doesn't do it for you?" as she references the background music that is being played for the party.
"Yeah but what word as connubially supposed to be?" Samantha asks Avi, seemingly very concerned with figuring this out.
"Maybe she just wanted to feel smart?" Sienna supposes over toward Samantha, catching snippets of the exchange between her and Avi.
"Connubial is like, 'married' so I guess she tacked on some extra letters to make it fit the sentence?" Avi guesses. "I'm not married, but also I don't think I've had enough to drink to appreciate anyone's naked body at the moment."
"One might infer she's alluding to the constraints or limitations imposed by marriage or a marital-like commitment that, in her view, hinder one's ability to relish certain experiences or freedoms fully," Harriet elucidates with her characteristic eloquence to Samantha. "Since, you know, it's an archaic way of expressing how the bonds of a close relationship might sometimes feel restricting, even if they're also a source of joy and fulfillment. It seems she's grappling with the paradoxes that intimate partnerships often present."
"Oh apparently it's a word." Samantha mentions after checking something on her phone. "Huh, never heard that one before. It means of or relating to the married state for any other dumb people."
"Connubially," Annie repeats slowly and deliberately after hearing that term from Samantha. Looks like someone learned something new in their vocabulary, though the way she's staring around meaningfully could indicate she might ask what it means. Luckily for her, Google is never out of reach for too long, and she confides with her phone, twitching spasmodically like she just got stung by something.
Slanting his eyes, the Czech informs Sienna, "Charles Mingus, Yusef Lateef, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane..." Then Viktorin informs Sienna, "I'm getting into Synthwave though, I suppose. Honestly, I have a whole list of my favorite artists by genre."
Avi stares at Harriet.
"What /is/ even white bitch music anyway?" Autumn wonders of Jodie. "Songs that appear in clubs?"
"I think your basic white bitch music is the best." Caelum affirms Samantha in-between all the talk, "Don't mind Jodie, she wouldn't know quality if it crashed on her trailer." There would've been more trash talk, surely, if he hadn't knit his brows and stared at Harriet with a perplexed look at all that she said. Like the whole thing somehow went right over his head, and he can't even afford to say a 'what'.
Harriet simply glances around, sort of oblivious.
"Does she talk that much in bed?" Avi asks Samantha so casually he clearly thinks it's what everyone is wondering anyway.
"Real question is - does she talk like /that/ in bed?" Caelum shoots after Avi.
"I feel like I gotta be in the right head space to appreciate naked bodies generally." Samantha says, "I suppose drinking can help getting there though. Always a little awkward when you're in a strip club or something though and it feels rude to not act all excited by the titties." She claims, grinning at Caelum, "Thanks Cae, I don't really put much of my ego in my music taste anyway, I like stuff that feels good in my ear holes and who cares who else likes or doesn't like it you know?" She says with a little shrug and waggles her hand at Avi, "Sometimes."
Harriet narrows those hazel eyes, as she tries to figure out what exactly is going on.
"The type of music that appears in clubs that basic white bitches get all excited to dance too." Jodie explains patronizingly to Autumn. She drinks again from her bottle and goes on to pester Viktorin a little more, "So Mr Icky Touch, have you been getting Icky with anyone else lately?"
"Probably smaller words, you know lessies need their tongue free for other things," Avi figures in reply to Caelum.
"The inability to dirty talk while giving head is one of my greatest frustrations in life." Samantha admits as she takes another drink.
"Maybe all the gags and ropes are so she talks less?" Caelum supposes towards Avi after that bit - but his words seem to give much thought to ponder. So, Caelum does what any straight male does and gives a critical look between Harriet and Samantha -- not a doubt at what he's imagining.
With her left eyebrow arched up far higher than its near twin on the other side of her face, Harriet squints at Avi, and then at Caelum before she looks over at Samantha.
Autumn lets out a laugh before she reaches out towards a tray to grab a flute of dessert wine. "I see," she speaks while she laughs again. "Bondage can be sexy," she turns to tell Caelum with a small blush and a grin.
"Icky? With someone? Like... giving them the fell-touch?" Viktorin asks Jodie, attempting to blink away a puzzled look. There's a bit of a flushed look upon his cheeks as he hums softly, "No, I try not to hurt people unless they deserve it."
"Is it still a thing for basic white bitches to label things as 'for basic white bitches'?" Avi wonders. "I thought Taylor Swift defeated that bit of patriarchy in our zeitgeist." He then peers at Caelum. "Do you prefer more talk or less?"
Samantha gives Harriet an innocent look back and grins at Autumn, "How are things going for you anyway? Any luck with trying to find a date?" She wonders.
Jodie waves dismissively at Viktorin, "You are hopeless." she asserts then she bobs her head to Avi and lets him know, "I am what I am."
Alexander blinks
"Definitely." Caelum smirks over at Autumn, every fang put on display in the brief bit of distraction from his thoughts before Avi peers at him, and he sinks back in his chair with a little shrug of a single shoulder rolling. Still smiling. "I think I prefer more. Being vocal in bed is a huge turn on."
Alexander says "Yes, louder, better."
Alexander says stirring from his half asleep posture moments later.
"Same, same," Avi tells Jodie. "Also - big same," Avi agrees with Caelum. His gaze shifts to Sienna next as if this an interview. "What about you? Prefer verbal, or just manly grunting?"
"Just as long as it isn't someone going..." Samantha starts, dropping into a lower pitch, "You like that don't you, yeah..." She mimics with a snicker.
Sienna glances up from enjoying her lasagna to squint toward Avi and Caelum with their questions. "Wait, like what do you mean by being more vocal? Actual good dirty talk or just hearing your partner express how good they feel with moaning?" A quiet pause when the question's turned on her, deciding, "I like it when it's creative, and a little degrading, but not too much or it throws me off."
"Why not? It's polite to ask," Avi argues for the sake of arguing.
Alexander adopts a very deep voice, "Take it, take it all." It's very flat.
Turning to Samantha, Autumn takes a sip of her wine and shakes her head. "It's been... fine, I guess," she tells the woman. "It's been kind of rollercoaster of conflict..." She then looks away to tells Alexander, "Some guys like loud, especially when they want to hear moaning."
Samantha throws a scrunched up napkin at Avi's face.
Caelum suddenly coughs out, interrupted in his completely false breathing when Samantha drops in a lower pitch. "Fuck." He has to smirk, clear his throat - and reach for another beer.
Sienna winces at Alexander's words. "That's terrible."
"If someone is going to be vocal during it all, they can't be faking it." Jodie gives her two cents since the conversation turned to sexual themes. "Nothing more fun than a man who can't hold in his sounds."
Autumn says "Or one who begs for more."
"What about you? Does Sam give you good affirmations? Or do you do all of the talking?" Sienna wonders nosily about Harriet and Samantha. "To be honest, Harriet seems more like the affirmations type."
Samantha slips out of her chair to get the door.
Avi crinkles his nose, batting away Samantha's napkin. "Would you brats stop throwing shit at me?" he demands.
Viktorin flushes up furiously at the direction of the conversation, exhaling quietly.
Harriet seems to think this is the time to relay even more information about the previous topic. "Delving further into the matter, the term 'connubially prevented' serves as a poignant reflection on the complexities inherent in close, committed relationships. It suggests a lamentation over lost individual freedoms, albeit a perspective not shared by all," the brunette continues, her voice declaring her thoughts. "Yet, juxtaposed with this notion is the profound happiness and fulfillment that such bonds can also bring. In the case of my own relationship, I find myself in a state of constant wonder and exhilaration. Far from feeling constrained. Rather, I am liberated and exhilarated by our union. Each night, Sam captivates and astonishes me with the depths of her very being, and ignites a fervor within that I had not known possible. Our connection, rather than binding me, sets my very soul ablaze with a passion and contentment that words scarcely capture." Because that is totally acceptable to say at the dinner table. She enjoys more of her food.
Viktorin says "What? "
"Should I take notes?" Caelum leans over closer to Sienna when she explains her preference, an arm draped over the back of her seat as he grins. But he's also looking ahead from her, drifting attention from the Swann to Harriet and someone at Sienna's question.
"Should I take notes?" Caelum leans over closer to Sienna when she explains her preference, an arm draped over the back of her seat as he grins. But he's also looking ahead from her, drifting attention from the Swann to Harriet at Sienna's question.
Avi makes a small, impolite, gagging sound.
Jodie looks blankly down the table to Harriet at her long speech and when she's done she looks to the other people at the table trying to relay at 'what the fuck was that?' with her expression alone
Alexander nods to Harriet slowly, politely.
"So long as you don't sound like a thesaurus like her, you can try anything once at least," Sienna points a finger over toward Harriet as she leans subtly into Caelum. "Who talks the most between you and Ari in bed?" she grills Avi now.
Alexander says "Oh man. Imagining Harriet monologuing in the throes of passion."
Harriet raises both brows at Sienna's question, ignoring Avi's gagging. "She's good at words of affirmations," she expresses to Sienna. "I think I just write a novel about it, where she can convey all that she feels in one paragraph."
Autumn says "I think I got lost in most of that."
"She said she's whipped as fuck for her girlfriend and doesn't miss her freedom because her soul is on fire with the fervor of her brainwashing by a Temple agent," Avi translates Harriet's spiel for Jodie. "Me of course, his mouth is usually full," he tells Sienna.
Harriet stares at Avi. "That is /not/ what I said."
"I paraphrased," Avi says airily.
Caelum's grin falls way near instantly - and that perplexed look returns while he continues to stare at Harriet. Even when Sienna leans into him, it takes a moment before he can draw his arm further along the back of her seat around her shoulder. A smirk follows close, grateful for the distraction - and his beer is lifted in a distant toast towards Avi at his answer. "Nice."
"Ah" Jodie ahs to Avi, as if it all makes sense now. "Those tricky templars." she says with no shortage of irony.
"That's deep," Annie decides of what Harriet has sort of lectured to the gathering at the table. "I think." She probably didn't process it all fully. Avi's helpful interpretation has her looking aside, as if enlightened. She pushes herself up to a stand, dabbing at her lips with a napkin. "Alright. Time for Master Ninja to take her leave," she announces to the gathering.
Alexander says "Realizing why people are throwing things..."
"No problem." Samantha tells Tabitha as she slides back into her seat. "Gotta figure in Haven people are going to show up at all different times." She says and glances between Avi and Harriet, "I'm not sure if I missed something or not."
Alexander looks over at Tabitha and waves cheerily. Then to Annie. "A pleasure to meet you."
"Thank you so much for coming, Grand Master Ninja," Harriet tells Annie. "Thank you so much for coming, and for the Ninja."
"That's what I took away from me," Sienna tells Harriet in Avi's defense. As Annie announces her pending departure, the Swann vacates her chair long enough to walk around and open her arms to her sorority sister. "It was good seeing you, Annie. We need to catch up some time."
"Especially Miles," Autumn dryly muses to Jodie. "He always think I'm crazy."
"Don't get any dumb ass ideas," Avi warns Alexander mildly. "Nothing, nothing," he assures Samantha, lifting his drink toward Caelum at the same time.
"See you master ninja." Samantha tells Annie, raising a hand to wave to her.
Silas listens to what Harriet has to offer to the table and his reactions is a cheeky smile. He leans into Annie a little as he reaches for his wine glass to take another sip, "I mean I think if you want to summarize all of that you could just say she feels the fireworks." He chuckles at Annie's title as if he almost had forgotten, "I think that is my exit as well, everyone, as I am Master Ninja's ride since Ninjas that have the Master title don't have to dirve themselves anywhere."
Alexander says "Please, all of my ideas are extremely wise ass."
"See you around, Master Ninja." Caelum nods to Annie, then when Avi meets the lift of his drink, he takes a long sip. Very much satisfied.
Viktorin waves towards Annie and Silas, "See ya guys."
"Goodnight, Silas. It was good to see you," Harriet tells Silas. She smiles warmly at Tabitha, welcoming her as she is saying farewell to others, "I'm so very glad you could make it, Tabitha."
"Later, cooler Arkwright," Avi offers his farewell to Silas in turn.
"Anytime," Annie says offhandedly, like it were no big deal. She sidles over to happily receive the warm embrace from Sienna. "I'll catch you guys around," she says politely, holding a hand out to wave farewell to everyone here. "I do need a ride," she acknowledges Silas. She may be dubbed the Master Ninja, but her exit kinda lacks any smoke screen. Or just disappearing like one ought to. Instead, she just scrambles for the door, vacating the premise.
"And you too, Silas. Don't be a stranger." Caelum adds after noting that the other Arkwright is also in fact leaving. "Let me know if you want a hug too, Sigma's gotta look out for each other."
Alexander says "Ah! Where did she go!"
Alexander says "She was right here and now she's gone..."
Tabitha does come in empty handed, but she does root around in her tote for something. She pulls out a camera as if she is ready to take a picture of the group that does remain. "I near did not come, but also, I had to at least stop in. Say hi." Her hair is still wet, and a little clingy to her cheeks, showing various nearly faded abrasions.
"I think they're just escaping before they have to take a turn answering questions about dirty talk preferences." Samantha decides.
Alexander shakes his head, mystified.
"Goodnight everyone," Silas says to the table as he rises up, and pushes his wine glass away, "Thank you for inviting us all over!" He chuckles at Avi, "See you, cool, but not coolest... Arkwright?" He looks towards where the woman was beside him and then she is just gone, just like that! He seems confused.
Harriet listens to the music, and then shares, "This song takes me back to Moscow, nearly a decade ago, when I was waiting in an airport and some man came up to me asking if I was available as a Mail Order Bride, and when he was told 'no,' he asked if Kylie Minogue was available."
Viktorin waves towards Tabitha, greeting them with a "Hey Tabs," before returning his attention to the table.
Samantha blinks rapidly at Harriet, "Well at least he had his priorities I suppose." She says, "I've never met a real mail order bride, I guess it's probably all online sort of stuff now though."
"That's...random as fuck, unless you were in a Moscow airport with Kylie Minogue? Which is honestly still random as fuck," Avi decides. "Hey Tabitha," Avi greets Tabitha.
"Jesus Christ." Caelum shakes his head towards Harriet, smirking still - but he does turn his attention to Tabitha too, tilt his head with a kept smile and an upnod. "Hey, Tabs."
Autumn continues to drink her flute of wine, falling silent as she looks down at her phone.
Harriet expresses, "There is a woman in Franklin, Tennesse... actually I think she moved to a nearby town, who is a Chinese Mail Order Bride who owns a very successful tea shop," to Samantha. "I met her once. She's very sweet." She nods to Avi, "It was one of the weirdest experiences of my life, aside... from everything else that happened that day in that airport... it was one of the less weird occurrences, actually..." Her lips purse some, and then she nods at Samantha.
Alexander blinks at Harriet. He drinks his beer thoughtfully, deciding perhaps that that's the best thing to do in the situation.
Alexander snags a fresh one once his current one is depleted, perhaps deciding it's hest he be well armed.
"I hate airports, some of my worst memories are in them," Avi empathizes with Harriet. "By the way, I couldn't think of a housewarming gift you two wouldn't have already bought for yourselves while decorating, but everyone knows the only thing rich people want but don't have is even more money, so I sent over a contribution to your Household Wine Fund," Avi tells the hosts regarding his idea of a gift. "I should get going though, full schedule of classes tomorrow," he groans.
Harriet bows her head in respect and gratefulness to Avi. "Thank you, Avi."
"The American dream." Samantha decides and nods at Avi, "Appreciate that." She says, "Say hi to Ari for us."
Viktorin waves towards Avi.
"Hey," Tabitha greets to the group, bringing her camera up to snap a picture of those at the table for a random af photo, some drinking, some eating, all chatting. "Wouldn't it still have been online a decade ago? Maybe just more along the dark web or something."
"Will do, he'll kick himself for missing the party," Avi tells Samantha as he rises from his seat. "If anything embarrassing happens to anyone after I'm gone - send me a picture," he requests, lifting a hand in farewell to the table as he heads for the door.
Harriet blows a kiss after Avi.
"Well I don't think mail order means like smuggled or anything." Samantha says, "Probably just kind of like those dating websites for sugar daddies and sugar babies but ones for specifically people looking to move countries and stuff like that." She speculates and shrugs a little, "At least once nice thing about Haven is you don't have to rely on dating apps too much, does anybody know anyone in town who met their partner or fuck buddy on MyHaven though?"
"See you around, Avi." Caelum offers a less fanged smile at the Arkwright - but before he can say anything else, or really do, he's distracted by the snap of a camera that makes him grimace slightly. He casts a look over at Tabitha, "You should've told me to step out if you were going to do that."
Alexander nods to Avi and waves, seeing him off. He gazes at Caelum. "Wait, is that a real thing?" he asks.
"Do you think I'd have any luck on one of those sugar daddy websites? I could use a rich daddy." Jodie ask Samantha when the subject is brought up, her tone deadpan as if she was erious
"Yeah, that picture is ruined now." Caelum answers off-handedly towards Alexander without looking, and instead stares at his bottle. He swirls it a little, then sets it aside on the table. Not willing to drink more, it seems.
"Sam and I met the old fashioned way, by me hitting her in the left boob with my riding crop, and her stabbing me in the side with a giant fork," Harriet shares openly with the group about her and Samantha.
"I can crop you out." Tabitha assures Caelum. "Or I can entitle the picture, once I have it developed ..." She pauses, and snaps yet another picture. "Seven Days." Its whispered.
"I remember chatting with one guy and then we grew to become fuck buddies," Autumn speaks out, her eyes still on her phone. "We did get kinky and fucked few times before he left town and never returned."
"I'd think they'd normally go for the more classic big tittied blonde types." Samantha speculates to Jodie after looking her over, "But to be fair that's just me guessing, I have no idea." She admits, "One of the straight guys needs to jump in here and tell us what kinda girl you'd pay for if you were rich and trashy."
"I don't think I ever bothered to swipe right on someone for dating on MyHaven, but I did get some dick pics sent to me on it once or twice," Sienna shares with Samantha, a hand pressed to her chest with a soft coo at Harriet's words. "Aww, was it love at first smack of the crop?"
Sienna looks around the table before she scouts out Alexander and Viktorin. "Well, there's the two of you. If you had tens of millions of dollars, what kind of trashy girl would you be paying for to be your sugar baby?"
At least that makes Caelum smirks, and he casts a look at Tabitha. "Alright, fair enough. Crop out the warped blot, or else.." It's whispered; "Seven Days." To Jodie's question prompting all the straight guys - he smirks, and wisely keeps his mouth shut.
Harriet nods to Sienna. "They say my smack to Samantha's tit with the crop turned her gay."
"I'd just put in my profile that I'm willing to accept a paid for boob job." Jodie suggest helpfully, she grins then flicks her gaze across to Viktorin and Alexander, "For a million I'd be doing some pretty gross shit."
Alexander looks sympathetically to Caelum, but can't help but snort at Tabitha's dumb joke and shakes his head. He looks over to Sienna and raises his brow. "If I had millions? Why would you go for a sugar baby? Bleh. I mean, maybe that's all you can get when you have that much money," he smirks.
Viktorin say to jodie If I had a million bucks, I wouldn't pay you for a boob job.
"It took a little while after that." Samantha claims, "Although it did make me go, holy fuck that chick is strong." She explains, "Which sort of set things in motion." She says, "I don't think any sugar baby gets millions of dollars even if the dude is a billionaire." She claims.
Autumn says "Some people like small tits. Others huge ones."
Alexander gasps at Viktorin. "Don't be so greedy," he chides him. "If Jodie wants a boob job she can have one."
"I think if I was a rich older dude looking for a sugar baby..." Samantha speculates after a moment, tapping a finger on her bottom lip, "I'd probably want someone really bubbly and fun who was like proactive so I could just chill and be rich and she'd make our lives fun and sexy and stuff."
Caelum smirks at his phone, gives a small shake of his head - sends another text, then turns a look between all the sugar baby talk at Harriet and Samantha. "How many horses do you guys have? Just out of curiosity. And which one is Harry's favorite?"
Harriet glances down at her own modest chest, and she tells Autumn, "Indeed."
Alexander nods agreeably with Samantha. "That sounds exhausting. I'd just want someone who just kind of exists in my space and like once a month we have some kind of insane adventure, nonsense life and death stuff. The other 29 days, largely napping."
Harriet tells Caelum, "I only have one horse at the moment, so I need to convince Sam to not be ... iffy about them so I can get her one."
"I just don't trust them." Samantha asserts, "I can tell they're plotting something."
Viktorinsomeone
"Just the one, right." Caelum nods to Harriet, somehow suddenly serious - when he nods again, as if coming up with a thought. Then he turns a look at Samantha. "You should get more horses." Then back to Harriet. "Do you lock your stables at night?"
Finishing with some random pictures of the party at the dining table, Tabitha stores her camera away and picks her phone from a pocket instead. "Sounds like I've missed a lot." She nods to Harriet and Samantha, "Horseback riding is relaxing, I find. When you get them to do the things you want."
"That sounds like feline," Autumn tells Alexander, giggling while she nods at Harriet. Wiggling her body, she says, "I'm planning to let my hair grow for now."
"I happen to have it on record that your body shape is actually starting to trend again on social media," Sienna offers in reassurance to Jodie from across the table. "Plus, my titties are small too and the boys love it."
"Excuse me?" Caelum tilts his head from the conversation, stares at Sienna with a knit of his brows. "What boys?"
"How long do you want it?" Samantha asks Autumn, narrowing her eyes a little suspiciously at Caelum.
Harriet peers at someone suspiciously, like she has as much trust in him right now as Samantha has in horses. "Just the one, Diamente Allegra," she tells him, narrowing hazel eyes a bit, and then she nods to Tabitha. "It is incredibly relaxing." She squints at Autumn some, and then she nods.
Harriet peers at Caelum suspiciously, like she has as much trust in him right now as Samantha has in horses. "Just the one, Diamente Allegra," she tells him, narrowing hazel eyes a bit, and then she nods to Tabitha. "It is incredibly relaxing." She squints at Autumn some, and then she nods.
"That is the weirdest compliment I've ever received." Jodie tells Sienna with a smirk, "If a guy came up to me in a bar and said my body shape is trending on social media, can I buy you a drink? I'd probably blow him for the creativity of it all."
Harriet blinks a bit over Jodie's words.
Distracted as he is, Caelum still visibly pulls up a notepad on his phone after Harriet answers, and types down 'Diamente Allegra'. "Thanks, Harry." Very, very suspicious indeed.
Sienna looks up at Caelum with an expression of wide-eyed innocence. "I mean, I dunno? Can I just default and say Sam tells me my ass looks good all the time, and I don't need to worry about my little titty problem?"
"Well, not too long but long enough," Autumn tells Samantha, raising her brow at Caelum before she looks at Jodie and Sienna. "Alexander once told me that small breasts are more sensitive, and I have small breasts as well."
"Sounds like one of the kinds of bad pick up lines that Hux would have come up with, the night Case, him and I were at Black Rose." Tabitha says with a chuckle, after Jodie admits to possibly just giving the guy a blow. "It's worthy of something alright."
"Does that mean something?" Samantha wonders of Harriet when she mentions the horse name and nods in agreement with Sienna, "Sienna has an amazing ass, she got it out in strip laser tag one time and it's been indelibly burned into my mind ever since." She claims.
Caelum gives a look at Sienna, one just as suspicious as the one Samantha and Harriet gave to him before he's distracted again. There is no attempt to hide away how he looks at the Swann, from neck to hip, eyes narrowing eventually as if he's assessing whether Samantha has any credibility in her claim regarding Sienna's ass. "Nice."
Alexander smiles at Autumn. "I was thinking the same thing actually," he gestures helplessly. "Small titties, big titties, all titties," he says in agreement. He snorts at Jodie's response and almost spills his drink.
Alexander shrugs helpless. "All of it's lovely, to be frank. Tits, ass, torso and else. Guys or gals."
Harriet listens to all of the ass and tit talk, and then nods to Samantha. She expresses to Samantha, "It translates roughly to Lively Diamond," about her horse. "She's seven years old now and a Dutch Warmblood."
"Do you have a lot of experience in the titties department to weigh in if that's a true thing?" Sienna asks of Harriet and Samantha aside regarding Autumn's claim. "Because I don't feel like mine are all that big, but they're just... normal on the sensitivity scale?" she muses, reaching to pour herself a glass of wine. "What about you?" she drags Tabitha into the conversation, only to reach over and give her sweater a playful tug. "Your titties look big though, so never mind."
"Alex is the type of guy who wants to be smothered to death by tits. That's literally how he's suppose to die." Jodie says, creating a prophecy and a lie all in one sentence.
Alexander says "Ah! How did you know!?"
Alexander shakes his head. "It's why I'm so chipper in town, I know how I'm supposed to go," he admits to Jodie.
Jodie says "It all makes sense now"
"That's beautiful." Samantha tells Harriet with a soft smile, "Do you know if it's one pair of multiple, and if it's human or like, demonic?" She queries.
Harriet clears her throat and she expresses to Sienna, "As a woman with rather small breasts," in a whole lot of honesty -- and it is plain to see. She does not have large breasts beneath that sweater dress. "I can confirm that smaller ones are very sensitive. Breasts all have the same amount of nerve endings, but the larger they are, the further they are spread out. So, the smaller they are, the most sensual experience the woman has, as they are so close together."
"I feel like I'm hiding in the girl's locker room and listening to something I'm not supposed to." Caelum admits in the midst of all the ass and tit talk, eyes now cast out between Sienna, Tabitha and Harriet - unable to hide away a smirk at the exchange.
Alexander waves his hand so so. "Large breasts can be sensitive too!" he insists to Harriet.
Harriet insists to Alexander, "Not as sensitive as my little ones!"
Viktorin snorts amusedly at Caelum's words, electing to remain silent.
Samantha blinks a little. "I didn't know that." She admits to Harriet before looking suspiciously at Alexander, "I feel like you need a team large boobs t-shirt or something."
"Unless you have a pair and speak from experience, I wouldn't die on that hill against them." Caelum shoots at Alexander, smirking.
"Looks like I found your kink," Autumn muses, giggling at Alexander. "Titties, big and small."
Harriet laughs softly over Autumn's words to Alexander.
Tabitha is surprised when her sweater is tugged down, however playfully by Sienna, to press the material tighter against her bosom and expose the decolletage with its minor, few and fading abrasions. "Ah... How about me for what? Sensitivity? I don't think that size really has anything to do with how much they are." But, she's no doctor!
"Are you still dating that gender swapping chick by the way?" Samantha wonders of Alexander, "I feel like I haven't seen her around but also I've been pretty busy with the house building and everything."
Harriet insists, "It's really a thing!" to Tabitha about her itty bitty titty committee club being more sensitive.
Harriet admits, "Although I've never had large breasts, so I cannot really compare. I can only go my medical studies."
Alexander shakes his head. "She vanished on me sadly," he shrugs helpless. "She's the one who gave me this knowledge!" he insists to Caelum. "I like small boobs! I swear!" he insists to Samantha.
Jodie looks from Samantha to Alexander with interest and confusion at what she just asked him and so she seeks clarification, "A gender swapping chick?"
"Anyhow, I'm not very familiar with the types of breeds of horses," Tabitha says to Harriet and Samantha. "I just rode when I was younger. Dad had a few that he stabled out in the Wilds..." She holds up her hands at the insistence. "I'll take your word for it."
Alexander says "Ah, Bianca. She and I came to town both unaware, and kinda of became aware at the same time. She was sweet, and curious, and fun. We explored some magic together and that was one she had a lot of fun with."
"I think what Harry means," Caelum explains, in his expert knowledge of breasts and medical know-how, "That when you have smaller breasts it's easier to apply pressure to more surface area." And he shalemelessly lifts his hands to cup the air, an imaginary set of small breasts. "So the closer nerve endings fire more, compared to.." Caelum now cups a comically massive pair of imaginary tits in the air, looking entirely serious about it down to the knit of his brows.
Alexander nods sagely at Caelum's instruction. Now it all makes sense, it seems
"Ah sucks." Samantha commiserates with Alexander, "There anyone else you've been seeing or interested in?" She wonders, arching an eyebrow at the size of imaginary breasts Caelum mimes. "She did magic to swap gender back and forth kinda thing." She adds on to Alexander's explanation for Jodie.
Harriet gives a confirming nod to Caelum. "I mean, I can cum from nipple stimulation alone," she overshares, pointing her fork about as she gesticulates.
Autumn says "What if some huge tits are sensitive? Is it uncommon?"
"Oh..cool, find a girl who will grow a dick for you." Jodie says, giving sage advice before taking a swing of her beer
Caelum drops what he's doing instantly at the song - seriously bobbing to that jam in that continously drifting attention of his. "Oh, shit. I like this."
Harriet gives a shrug Autumn's way uncertainly.
Samantha coughs lightly when Harriet overshares, "I imagine there's variability in sensitivity and size is just one of the factors." She says to Autumn.
"Or maybe some people like huge titties because they can suck on it," Autumn adds on with a small shrug until she nods at Samantha. "I see."
Alexander waves his hand. "No. I have a crush on basically everyone," he admits shamelessly. "But, world how it is, not really trying to pursue much right now." He laughs at Jodie.
Caelum's is back as soon as the song ends, and he rests his arm on the table again, lean on it as if nothing ever happened just now. A clueless look moves between everyone, as if he just missed something crucial. Like what Harriet said.
"I feel like little titties are way more suckable than big ones," Sienna argues against Autumn. "Big titties are more susceptible to sag and don't look all that cute without a good bra."
Alexander says "See! I'm not pushing any agenda, I'm just naturally trying to balance out the forces here."
"Sucking on my neck has more of an effect than my boobs though and I'm sure that can't be because the neck has more nerves so..." Samantha shrugs, "Who really knows, tis a mystery." She claims. "You'd think world being how it is would be a better reason to pursue something." She argues to Alexander.
Alexander nods. "I don't disagree, but for me, I'm kind of pulled in directions. Busy. I don't wanna leave someone hanging," he tells Samantha.
"Just don't make any kids, pretty bleak knowing the kid wont pass thirteen so wrap it up." Jodie says to Alexander, nodding in agreement with Samantha
"Sucking on your neck, huh?" Caelum tilts his head, as if to watch Samantha from a slightly askew angle. His lips turn in a slight smirk, baring every fang.
Alexander nods to Jodie. "Yeah kids are out of the question right now. Not that I uh, ever though I ever would have 'em."
Sienna lays her cheek to rest against Caelum's shoulder, lightly pressing a finger into the side of his neck. "Do you have a preference then? Big or small?"
"Ah, right," Autumn replies to Sienna, nodding again. "And I never even wore bra. I did sucked one or two before, if I remember correctly."
"I prefer the neck," Tabitha adds on with Samantha. "Too many people get hyperfocused on the boobs, and it... well. There's something more erotic when its the neck. Like, at the nape of it."
Alexander says "Neck is the best. I think that's unisex."
Alexander says "Well, maybe not -best- but..."
Harriet wriggles her eyebrows at Samantha in regards to her neck, and then winks at her.
"If you're going to be putting your mouth on me, I absolutely prefer it to be the inner thighs on your way to giving me great head," Sienna opines quietly into the rim of her wine glass, taking a drink.
Alexander gestures to Sienna, as if perhaps that was where he might have been going.
Harriet glances over at Samantha as Sienna talks about what she prefers.
Caelum draws his arm around Sienna's shoulder, over the back of her seat to inadvertantly cause the drop of her cheek on his shoulder to find a closer spot to his neck while she pokes him. "Sure." And she gets a look, one that trails down from her eyes, down to her chest. He doesn't answer, only keeps that fanged display of dentristy in his smile. What he answered to isn't entirely clear - coming after Sienna's opinion of where a mouth should go.
Alexander realizes he's a bit red faced and takes a long drink.
Samantha nods in agreement with Tabitha, "Different people have different erogenous zones though I think." She claims, glancing over at Harriet and grinning, "Don't get any ideas, I got school in the morning." She says, shifting her chair over a little to lean her head on Harriet's shoulder and blinking at Sienna, "Oh were you asking me? Smaller generally I think, I'm not super body focused though, not to sound like one of those annoying people." She admits with a little grimace.
Alexander says "It's only annoying if you're lying, though, the fact you're with Harry does suggest a pretty fortunate set of circumstances if body played no role."
Harriet turns her head at presses a kiss gently against Samantha's colourful hair as her girlfriend's head rests against her shoulder.
Harriet squints over at Alexander.
Alexander shrugs helplessly at Harriet.
Alexander says "Woops... "
"She is pretty gorgeous." Samantha agrees with Alexander, "But she's hottest when she's playing piano or like, smacking someone in the head with her hammer you know?"
Alexander says "Or with a riding crop"
Alexander says "Sorry, I suppose that gets referenced too much"
Harriet slips an arm about Samantha's side.
Alexander smiles faintly. "One of my first meetings with Harry was her kicking my ass with a hammer, I get it."
Sienna shakes her head at Samantha. "No, I was asking him," she explains, nudging Caelum briefly in the elbow. "And that's not super annoying from you. You tend to be pretty honest about that stuff, and it doesn't come off as condescending our fake woke like a lot of people do. I wish I could say that looks didn't matter as much for me, but I don't think I could be as invested in someone's personality or spirit romantically if there wasn't that first physical attraction. Otherwise, I'd have probably dated one of my sweaty, nice guy robotics teammates."
Lifting her free hand, Autumn points a finger at Alexander. "Suspicious," she snickers.
Alexander raises his hands. "E-eh!? I'm innocent," he insists, unsure of what he's suspicious of.
Autumn says "I'm just messing with you, Alexander."
Sienna's elbow only has Caelum smirk, unbudging. "So vain."
"Body does matter to me." Samantha clarifies, "But not like, specifics like height or cup size too much. I do think you need like, that kinda, animal attraction or whatever but I think even that is more how someone acts and stuff than the dimensions of their face as long as their face isn't like, super unfortunate." She opines.
"I'm not vain," Sienna furrows her brows at Caelum.
Alexander says "Yeah, a total hottie can be completely unattractive if they suck."
Tabitha nods again to Samantha, finding comaderie in what she says.
Alexander says "...But uh, I dunno, not all relationships are terribly deep either, so"
Alexander says "Shot, anyone?"
Harriet tenses her fingers lightly against Samantha's far hip. "I'll have a shot," she tells Alexander.
Jodie finishes off her beer then leaves the empty on the table as she pushes to her feet, somewhere along the way of describing ideal physical characteristics, she was lost to the conversation so its no surprise when she says, "I've made my monthly appearance. I'm going to piss off."
"You're not vain." Caelum affirms Sienna, and leans in while she furrows her brows to put a kiss on the top of her head. "You just like some eye candy. I get it."
Samantha stretches out a hand for one of the shorts, squinting a little as she tries to move it from Alexander's hand to hers with the force.
Viktorin waves towards Jodie, "Have a good one."
"Later Jodie." Samantha says, "We fed you dinner so now you shouldn't eat us next full moon." She reasons.
"I should probably be heading back, but I didn't want to come off as rude to not show up." Tabitha says. "I had intended to have a house warming party, myself, but it will have to be put on hold a little longer. I hope that you all come, when I do." She stands, and pauses. "I did not get to see the home in its entirity, which is a shame. But maybe another time?"
Alexander hands it over with a gracious nod of his head. Then gazes at Jodie. "A shame, it was good to see you, have a good night."
Harriet waits for Alexander to give her a shot, eying him expectantly. "See you, Jodie. Thank you for coming by," she tells Jodie. "Sorry you missed strip hide and seek."
Jodie pauses at Samantha's statement, thinks about it, then she shakes her head, "Maybe." she grins then and begins to head out, throwing her second peace sign of the night at Alexander. "I'm sorry I missed that too."
Autumn nods her head in farewell at someone.
Harriet extends to Tabitha, "Thank you so much for coming, Tabitha. I look forward to attending, and I appreciate you coming by."
"Sounds good." Samantha agrees with Tabitha, "Take care of yourself and thanks for coming."
Viktorin waves towards Tabitha too, murmuring softly, "Be safe, Tabs. Have a good eve."
Harriet nods to Alexander once he hands over a shot that she accepts.
Alexander says "Tabitha, one for the road?"
"Well, its a safer evening." Tabitha suggests to Viktorin. Maybe. Possibly. She smiles to the group and heads to the front door. "Thanks for the invite." She pauses and eyes the shot. "Fine. One for the road."
Alexander raises his glass. "To the love, health and happiness of our hosts! To their wonderful new home and to happy times ahead!"
Harriet lifts her empty glass that she had previously already thrown back down her elegant throat.
"Yes, we're awesome." Samantha agrees, toasting with her empty shot glass since she already drunk from it.
Autumn says "Thanks. "
Viktorin cocks an eyebrow at Alexander, curiously regarding them. "Ah, thank," he mumbles, eyeing his glass. Swirling it for a moment, the Czech stares. And then downs it.
Alexander fetches another then realizing they had drank already snags another one
Autumn says "Wrong one."
Tabitha hoists the shot of tequila upward toward Alexander for him to make his toast. When it is made, sheraises the tequila up higher, then finds the corner of the table to tap the bottom on. "Here, here."
Alexander exhales after his drink and makes a pleased noise. "That's really good," he admits.
"Try not to become roadkill on your way home." Caelum calls out after the departing Moore - a little too late. Instead of heckling her, he looks over at Tabitha with a slight smile. "See you around, Tabithany." But then he glances at his phone to check the time, "I should leave very soon too." The shot slid his way is left on the table - with an apologetic look that briefly lands on Harriet - before his attention tilts over at Sienna again. "I know I'm your ride, but I don't want to cut your time here short."
"Drinks are from Siren." Samantha explains, "You should all all your partying there because the drinks are awesome and the owner just moved into a giant expensive house." She explains.
Harriet nods in agreement with Samantha' claims.
Harriet explains, "I tried to get a group to the Siren the other night, but we got caught up at the barcade. Alexander kicked my ass at Dance Dance Revolution."
"I really, really did," Alexander beams. "I'll never do that well ever again. That was the last vestige of my boyhood days coming out to express itself."
Viktorin grumbles, "Honestly wish I came, instead of wasting my time with other things."
"-do- all your partying there." Samantha corrects herself, clearly tipsy as she makes the effort to enunciate clearly. "Well Barcade is also pretty cool." She admits, "Although I had to give up ownership cause I'm not important enough to be allowed to have two shops." She complains. "See you later Cae, thanks for coming and not eating or serial killing anyone." She tells Caelum.
Alexander says "Yeah, so, Vik, what the heck happened with you two? And oh, yeah, good to see you Caelum"
Tabitha licks the flavor of strawberry from her lips, brows shifting a little in a way to express -- something. "Well, then, good night, everyone. Have a lovely evening." She crinkles her nose at Caelum in a way to silently say: Really?
Viktorin waves towards Caelum, giving them a small smile.
Harriet bows her head respectfully to Caelum. "Thank you so much for joining us this evening."
Viktorin turns his gaze towards Alexander, asking him, "Mm?"
Alexander says "You and Lilah? She mentioned you broke up with her."
Viktorin admits to Alexander, "To be fair, we were 'exploring' things, as she put it. And... I'd rather not... go too deeply into that." A pained look creeps across his face.
"Don't be so formal with me Harry." Caelum calls out to Harriet with a smile, a single brow tipped. "Haven't we made some ground since our terrible first meeting?" His head shakes slightly - "I'm going to stick around until Sienna decides she wants to be ferried home or wants to stay. I'm not pressed for tme."
"Don't be so formal with me Harry." Caelum calls out to Harriet with a smile, a single brow tipped. "Haven't we made some ground since our terrible first meeting?" His head shakes slightly - "I'm going to stick around until Sienna decides she wants to be ferried home or wants to stay. I'm not pressed for time." (fix)
Arching her left brow, Harriet peers over at Caelum, "Something something, I wasn't wearing underwear?" in trying to recall their first meeting.
Alexander nods softly. "I just wanted to let you know, we were in that same position, and might wind up there again. And uh, if anything happened I should know of. Sorry though, I'm sure it's raw," he tips his head apologetically.
Harriet hopes, "Or was a wearing underwear, and that was all, in the reception area?"
Harriet really tries to remember which embarrassing incident began it all.
"I'd think you'd be getting more and more awake actually." Samantha points out to Caelum, "Also you and Sie were super cute hiding in the stables together, I think you make a great couple." She claims, frowning curiously at Harriet as she starts talking about underwear.
Viktorin shrugs, informing Alexander, "I tend to get attached easily, however, I rather viciously defend my boundaries. And if I have to hurt myself to make those boundaries stick, so be it."
Harriet tells Samantha, "I kept getting kidnapped either nude or in my panties."
"I should head home later," Autumn speaks after sipping from her shot or tequila. "Considering if should head to Berlin for business tonight, but after past week..." She lets out a low sigh before she turns to sip more of her wine.
Harriet mumurs, "That is how I met Solomon Inigo. Completely naked and for sale on a stage."
"I thought you guys had friction over Cae's vampire daddy and all that." Samantha points out to Harriet.
"Something something, corpse-cleaning, at Zdenik's couch." Caelum recalls somewhat bitterly in his smile. His attention shifts to Samantha, for a bit. "I'm not going to sleep, just rest a little until sun sets properly. I have something to do later on."
Harriet hmms but then tells Samantha about Caelum, "But I had met him prior."
"Zendinick... Zdenki, Znnnnidick..." Samantha tries a few times.
Alexander says "Thankfully I've never been sold naked, or clothed"
"Zdenik," Harriet offers to Samantha.
Alexander says "Almost once, to a fae guy who thought I was a virgin, but, uh...me and Bianca..."
Samantha nods against Harriet's shoulder. "That one. I've never been grabbed by the Syndicate either, their boss must be the Russian guy who wanted Harry to be his mail order bride or something."
Alexander gestures his hand in a you get it motion.
Autumn says "I did got grabbed by Syndicate three times."
"Twice a month I was getting shot in the neck by a tranquilizer dart and auctioned off for a while there," Harriet insists.
Alexander says "People just keep trying to drink my blood to become wizards."
Alexander frowns.
"I hadn't met you properly at the Homily, but you were not wearing underwear, that's true. Sam wasn't either." Caelum recalls near-perfectly, smiling for a little, while he then fills in everyone else on what he's talking about. "Harry was called after I was turned, because the first thing I did was leave a few too many corpses on my first night."
"Ah," Harriet exhales out as Caelum recalls their first meeting. "Yes, I remember. It was the Nativity play!" She starts laughing.
Then, Harriet nods to Caelum. "Yes, that was an... unforunate set of circumstances..."
Sienna raises her head off Caelum's chest from where she dozed off, wiping a hint of saliva from the corner of her mouth.
Caelum snaps his fingers. "Navity, right."
"You also got attacked by that horny werewolf who tore your top off." Samantha points out to Harriet, "You're just a magnet for trouble." She scolds, "Naked trouble." She clarifies and snorts softly. "I actually was wearing underwear, I was just fucking with Abigail." She claims.
Harriet prives a solemn nod to Samantha. "Yes, but at least when the horny werewolf released me, Abigail was there to don me in that shepherd's costume that was really just Beau's bedsheet with a hole cut out for a head to fit through... and Avi gave my his Vans."
Harriet shudders some, realising the reality of what that bedsheet may have gone through.
Alexander says "You were in the nativity as a halloween ghost?"
"Think it's time for us to head out?" Sienna asks of Caelum drowsily, then turns her eyes over to Samantha and Harriet to extend her gratitude, "Thank you for having us over tonight, ladies. It was really good seeing you both. The house is massive. I'm definitely coming back to visit and mooch off you guys."
"Did you get called out by those God-loving nuns?" Autumn wonders of Harriet. "They must really think everything is full of sin."
Maybe Caelum slurred a little. Too many drinks. He clears his throat, glances over at Sienna instead - watch the Swann rise and wipe her saliva with amusement. Which makes him recall something Samantha said to address it, belatedly. "You were /this/ close to catching us making out at the stables, Sam. You have the worst timing."
"Thanks Sie." Samantha says, raising her hand to the Swann, "You're for sure welcome any time. As long as you don't get your cooties in our stables." She clarifies after that comment from Caelum.
"Sam was the Angel Gabirel," Harriet informs Alexander, leaving out the part about just how slutty Samantha was in that role. She smiles sincerely to Caelum and Sienna, "Thank you both, so much, for coming tonight." She nods in agreement with Samantha.
Alexander nods sagely.
"Alright. I have a Swann to put to bed." Caelum slowly starts to rise, nods at both Samantha and Harriet, with a llook at Viktorin, Autumn and Alexander following. "Take care everyone, I'm sorry I couldn't eat too much, it did look delicious, but.." He leaves that to the air, and instead smiles again. Instead of lingering on that he starts to collect a drowsy Sienna by the arm, lead her against his chest to ask. "If you're too tired to walk, I'm going to carry you."
Alexander says "It was nice to see you, Caelum."
Alexander nods to someone as well
Alexander nods to Sienna as well
"We really were not that close to making out. Cae' is just being dramatic," Sienna quickly downplays Caelum's claims to Samantha with a sweet smile, starting to rise from her seat and gather her purse as she's collected. "Sounds like a plan to me," she tells Caelum, giving Alexander a quick, but lethargic smile as she sinks into her partner.'s arms.
"I think I'm going to head to bed." Samantha decides, pushing off from Harriet's shoulder and stretching her back before standing, she wraps her arms around Harriet from behind, bending down to rest her chin on the brunette's shoulder as she hugs her from behind and then pecks her cheek. "Thanks for coming all. And thanks for hosting and inviting people babes." She tells Harriet, "Tonight made this place really feel like home, you're the best." She says, giving another little squeeze before straightening.
Alexander says "It was lovely to get a chance to hang Sam."
Alexander says "I'm talking Harriet into a stoned movie night, help me out"
"Unusually, it /was/ nice seeing you." Caelum nods to Alexander. Something something, shared camaderie in appreciation of boobs, or something. Sienna is collected closer in his arms -- before she's swept off her feet in the next, "We were /so/ close to making out." He chides anyway, filing out. "Text me if you need me guys."
Harriet provides Samantha with an affection filled squeeze. "Sweet dreams, dearest," she tells her girlfriend, and she nods to Alexander. "Yes, he is pushing for a stoned movie night request."
"...I'm going to head home," Autumn rises from her seat and stretches her body. "Thank you for invitation, Harry. It was nice break."
Alexander says "Aw, is everyone going!?"
"I've heard worse ideas." Samantha claims, "Depending on the movie at least." She decides, sleepily staggering off to the east.
Harriet nods to Autumn. "Thank you so much for coming by. Sorry you missed strip hide and seek earlier."
Autumn says "It's alright."
Viktorin slowly rises, glancing apologetically towards Harriet. "May we talk later Chief? I'll explain everything. More specific than my franticness this morn..." He pauses and explains, "I have to meet with someone shortly, please pardon me."
Harriet provides Viktorin with a confirming nod.
Viktorin smiles wistfully, asking, "Ah. Which room did I leave my bag in?"
Alexander raises his brow curiously
