Interactions with: Eva [@Aewin], Feliks [@Turnaround Amy]
Location: The Party

[hr]

When Feliks finished speaking, Connor’s face had gone through a rapid display of varying emotions: an eyeroll when Feliks complemented his very own ‘superpower,’ a very anti-Connor pout when Feliks stole the beer, an agreeing nod at the statement about not pranking Natty, then a grin about the surprise. Yeah, Connor would find time. Always did. “[color=#ed0000]Hey, man, you know us. We’re a buncha killas, bruh. Fuck with one of us, fuck with all of us, we reach levels of brutality unknown by the common masses. Or something like that; personally that was one of the most over the top things I’ve ever seen in my life. And, yeah, I’ll figure it out. Soon as the life of the party sort of turns back on, I’ll do it.[/color]” He stopped for a second when Eva strolled up, giving her a wave of his hand in greeting as Feliks moved to hug her.

After the hug from Feliks, Connor looked down at Eva, with a forlorn look on his face as he shook his head, then grinned. He threw an arm around the girl’s and pulled her close to him, adjusting himself so he was nearer to her level. He repositioned the Sprite can so it was directly in front of her as he whispered the fatal words in her ear: “[color=#ed0000]Sprite Zero, Eva.[/color]” He grinned and then pulled away from her, releasing her and straightening himself up as he shook his head. “[color=#ed0000]Look, I might not like my parents all that much. But let me tell you, momma and her assortment of illegal immigrant nannies did not raise no fool. I ain’t getting in fight while Lucie and Kipper snap pics. Besides, he was already dead and they still passed him around like a fuggin’ peace pipe. Now he’s off to the hospital, we got the one-time here, we got evidence on the--[/color]” He paused for a moment, swooping down to Eva’s ear to whisper again, just the final word of the sentence before he was back to his full height. “[color=#ed0000]--internet. That’s all on the young Jeje, though. Killa, that one is; popped the kid with a beer bottle.[/color]”

Connor sipped the last of the Sprite Zero and sat the can down on the table, watching as Dom left and frowned. Then he looked over to where Eva had pointed and squinted, “[color=#ed0000]I believe, and now don’t quote me on that, that those are Claire’s siblings. I’ve only [i]briefly[/i] heard of them from Tas so I can’t be certain. Anyway… Do you know if Nat’s gonna kill the party or something after that? I could always reveal my grand surprise later. It’s just kinda sitting in my jacket pockets right now.[/color]” Connor explained, shrugging. “[color=#ed0000]Hey, don’t you live with that dude who we just slaughtered? Now [i]that’s[/i] gonna be awkward, poor baby.[/color]” Connor decided, then winked and grinned mischievously at Eva again. “[color=#ed0000]I guess that means you should just stay with me here and there.[/color]” He paused for a moment, looking over at Feliks.

“[color=#ed0000]Or Feliks, whichever your prefer. Spoiler alert, though, I have better cuddling blankets [i]and[/i] better anime.[/color]” He laughed and pushed Feliks’ shoulder lightly before refocusing his attention on Eva. “[color=#ed0000]Either way… Night’s still young. Party’s [i]basically[/i] alive. There’s still cake, most of us are still ‘round. Some of us have dispersed for whatever reason, ambulance ride here, sudden realization of attempted manslaughter there, etc, etc. But [i]fuck[/i] it, the show must go on.[/color]”

Location: The party
Interacting with: Lucie [@Symphoni]
[hr]

Like most of the girls, Belle had trotted after Natalya to make sure that she was alright and not too upset for the rest of her party. Sincerely, Belle wouldn’t have blamed her if she [i]did[/i] decide to call the party to a close--Belle personally wouldn’t have; she would have gained some sense of sick pleasure from the way everyone would baby her, like they were babying Nat now. Watching Eva clean Nat’s hair, Belle squeezed the birthday girl’s hand before dismissing herself, deciding that there was someone she [i]really[/i] needed to see.

Poking her head up, she spied Lucie messing around on her phone and she grinned widely, quickly moving across the room to her bestie, hugging her. “[color=#ff00c3]Lucie! I missed you so much, darling.[/color]” She smiled and released her friend from the hug. “[color=#ff00c3]Tell me [i]everything[/i] about your trip. Did you win? Of course you won, you’re the best. Tell me the [i]important[/i] things. How was the food? Did you see any cute boys? Did you [i]hook up[/i] with any cute boys?[/color]”[/center]
