Marinalia watched Joel walk over and just have the Barman a look that said roll with it, if anyone said anything she could just tell Marla or so who would shrug and just carry on. they where paying for it all, so they decided not to worry and as along as no one was too drunk, too silly, or annoying, well live and let live. Giving him a nod and just to roll with it.

Just Roll with it. im family, so if anyone asked, Marilania said yes and so.

Watching him ,mix up some strange combination of Irish whiskeys, beer and so, Marilania thought she had started early but nope, Joel was already hammering back the shots and drinking his Irish concoction that smelt like it probably would make a handy form of aviation fuel. A hoody, well maybe later on the way home, but she spent too long in the pool to hide her figure under a baggy jacket tonight of all nights, not won the suit, well you owned a suit or you did not own one? That was a strange statement. Not so bad, well given normally she might of taken more of it but after her day and morning was less bothered and more just happy to be people who reminded her of other things.

Not too bad, Quite the charmer.

With a somewhat jokey reaction and drinking from her brightly cloured cocktail as Victoria and Ivan readied a shot for her, tonight was not going to cause a headache free morning. just started an already cocktails, champagne and vodka. Downing the shot alongside the others she flipped glass to prove she drank it and gave her sister a 1-1 gesture.

Well, your wearing the suit, so its yours. unless you robbed a fashionable man on way here.

Dressing for show has a few disadvantages... it distracted you a little though.

Backless and all lloked great but seven she was second guessing on the way there due to the weather, luckily booze was a aplenty and kept the cold away. Naturally athletic and hours of swimming where shame to hide. Flirting a a little and letting dress design expose her well toned leg, she relaxed and turned head seeing Joel checking out the event. Plans.. well her plans where kinda chaotic, she knew what she had to do, and there would be small speech soon but , abit of fun tonight and drinking, well if it lead wherever it lead, was a bonus or not.

Im sure we can have some fun in the meantime... a few days is a long tine after all... Japan, i always wanted a cute local picachu from Tokyo when i was a kid...

When you back, Wanna do a few laps of sol from the air... its more fun flying with someone to talk to.

With a shake of her head and seeing them dance about, it was obvious to half the universe there was something between them, aliens in space probably noticed but Victoria decided to nudge them a little pretending the vodka and champagne start had effected her more than it did.

Just kiss already... if you build up more tension, we be high school romance film...

and we short on a high school band right now.

Oh, and Joel, Vodka is a true drink of champions!

Laughing and raising the empty glass, she gave them both a raised eye brow, so close, yet so far and turned back to Ivan talking quietly in Russain and pointing out Maria and Vesarian who seemed to be sat together and leant against the other. At last.. both agreeing that it had taken way too long for them to relies.

Marilania gave Victoria a raised eye brow in return and leant into Joel shoulder, She had a point and she was rather thinking heading home or somewhere with someone might happen, a certain someone but that was if and when. she'd have fun first and worry about that in time and as the alcohol and music flowed.

Hey, i don't re call giving you a hard time returning back in same dress that morning after the ball last week!

Spotting someone from the Jazz night, no wait was it Ren... no it may of been someone with Ren, She swore they had met...somewhere, maybe the winter party or something, but he definitely was a passing aqauitence. Raising her cocktail and giving him a thumbs up, and shoulted over to the next bar.

Enjoy the party, its gonna go better than the jazz night for sure!

Turning back to her spot, relaxed and head resting on Joels shoulder, it was comforting, mentioning the Jazz night gave her a tiny knot that vanished smothered by booze and the general atmosphere.

Up on stage, someone was setting up a mic and so, a few of the shirtless six pack clad Spartans where wandering about with trays of small snacks shaped like little ships, cogs and gears, even though it was a party, it still represented the company and what they produced. Behind on a large screen it alternated between the company logo superimposed on action video of one the Royal Navy frigates they had built, and Joel down the straight, a still of him Marlin, and the crew all at victory interview and ending with large image of Joel raising the trophy to a massive crowd at the podium with "SOL CITY, P1" in large letters. They knew Joel had won the race and had given over much of the images to the team rather than the company. with exception to the video, but they had been a proud ship builder to there home country for decades in some lesser form or larger.

Maxamillion could be seen in a corner talking to one of the people on stage, much a old man he had retained his eyesight if not his hair, Seeing His daughters, Granddaughter, and various inlaws happy, with friends or partners. well the bill was worth it, the company had the money and good contracts. what was money but numbers. seeing his family happy was worth the expense.

Romus Sisters . City Hall

7.30 PM ish, City Hall, Olympus Heavy Industries Victory Gala

Thr barman nodded to Joel and gave a quick look round before replying quietly, he had been watching te race on his phone before hand and recognised the man standing there after a drink. With a local accent. Pouring Guinness with a single long pour and sliding it over, in a tall pint glass.

Sure boss. Miss Marinalia tipped us off ahead of time. There over by the stage. Lorax tables combined. Next to that large Russian. Great nail biter on thr last lap.

Giving a small gesture over his head at the table with gathered group including the towering Ivan next to Victoria, Maria and various others already having started the party. Ivan had already started the vodka, thr barman deciding he be a thirsty one for sure.

[he]

Marinalia watched round as things began to pick up as the event came to life and first few guests filtered in talking, looking about as the decorations and finding there tables if pre booked on the seating plans by thr door, or guided by one of the Spartans serving drinks on sheild like trays causing a small stir among some of the female guests.

No one quite seemed to notice the family in mostly white and pale colours sat round a table up close to stage, a larger table with two nudged close together and a already empty bottle of champagne or two present. The announcement and welcome could wait till people where atachually about to welcome. Watching Marla and Milo head off to greet guests abit, with a arm round her waist and a air that everything was going perfectly to plan. Looking back at one of thr bars she saw someone in a dark suit and ordering a drink. Nare... He probably would turn up on his race gear or somthing just to prove a point.

Chatting with Maria who was watching the last few bits and pieces of the smaller multiple buffets set up, serving staff pulling covers and plastic lids off food and stacking up plates and cutlery quietly busy working away not noticing Joel.

it can,t be? I'm gonna see if a frog can become a Prince. Be back in abit mum.

Playing slightly with her necklace, she was not used to it fully and thr glittering chain was rather sentimental belonging to her grandmother Marilania, who had willed her the dimaond ring glittering on her finger since she was 18.

A little later after joking with Mike, he and Milo had served in the Royal Marines together and where abit competive. One of them would try and drink the other under the table, it was abit of tradition for them. Walking over and heading over to get a drink, deciding to order somthing silly and rather cocktail like and colourful.

Heading over slower accounting for heals she should of practiced more in before wearing them for the event, the long white and gold dress, backless and split on the side was not ideal for protecting your dignity on floor. With a giant click of heals and walking over to the bar smiling and ordering a drink.

Hey, sex on thr Beech please, and a little extra orange if possible.

Turning and blinking slightly, looking at the man sat with a pint at the bar in a smart black outfit. Turning and sitting down at the bar slightly Suprised and be beliving he was gonna troll them or do somthing silly like that.

Coming right up Miss Olympus, sex on Beach, extra Orange.

Her thought train paused by the batman's reply, before nodding thanks and resisting urge to play with necklace just to belive it was there and sitting round her neck.

Joel... Wait... You do own a suit. That was not a joke. Maria had a small bet you turn up in fancy dress or a hoody.

Hello Mr Bond... So.. Hi.

Slightly nervous about the event despite everything after the jazz night she had a a little thought that would be bludgeoned back into its hole with cocktails and champagne. Nodding her thanks to the bar man and Sipping from a long straw as part of thr large and fruity cocktail violantly colourful and standing out from some of the other more sedate drinks being prepared.

so, hey. What's your plans tonight? Now your Sols fastest son.

Glad you came. Alot more fun with company. I'm kinda... Umm. Well need company right now. Quite the event Marla put together.

Sighing and admitting that she was not quite handling things rather well, was a a little bit of a downer but she also tried to remain posetive and relaxed Sipping her large brightly coloured cocktail..

Looking around, the event was coming together almost perfectly, Marla might be abit icey but she could plan a venue and evening to the letter. Beginning to relax nicely and find things more comfortabley banishing her little voice in head with alcohol. It was not thr healthiest idea in world but for tonight it was working just fine.

Victoria watched the event and saw things beginning to start up talking quietly and catching up with Ivan after a while of not seeing her godfather, his kids where growing fast and seemed to be content with life even of the time away at sea did impact things alot. 6 months on and off, 6 months back home. Thr larger Russian was in a smart white suit that was a tailors art from to work and fot nicely the muscular man who spent quite a while in the ships gym during time off shift.

Come on. Let's crack open somthing decent, and a a little stronger!

Laughing and giving Victoria a hand up, the 6'6 Russian and 4'
9 Victoria made quite the contrast between each other and talked quietly in Russian laughing about what happened at the last family event. Milo had managed to fall asleep and nearly sleep the night at the venue quietly in a corner.

Seeing Marilania and Joel taking at one of the bars they headed to the opposite end of the currently active bar, the other ones where just finishing up and getting there preparations all ready and sorting out a last few things before the main bulk of people arrived. One or two have a cheeky fag out back before the night truly started.

Two shots please. You can crack open the top shelf. It's not like we are the ones payingL

Laughing, they might as well enjoy the free bar, it was there and not every day your hosting the Gala. The other people paying should of helped subsidise the bar bill a little.

England has not ruined your taste. You should visit some time when I'm home, feels like years since I hosted family.

Make mine a double, Barman, it's party after all. Get yourself one if they allowed you!

One for you two? Mali?

Laughing heartily, thr large Russian had a much thicker accent than Victoria did when speaking in Russain and rested a rather large hand on the bar tapping a tune from home he remembered. He was relaxed at party but a very serious man on duty when he was a first officer at sea. However tonight he was just a party goer, a god father and freind.

Sure.. I cannot go nil one to my younger sister. Mr Bond, this is Ivan my godfather, And of course you already met Victoria.

Looking casually over to Marilania and her friend, he decided not to reconise Joel as it seemed the two wanted to go a little quietly and evade the media. Much as some considered the muscle bound russian somthing less than he was. He did not make it from Russian Navy seaman to a First Officer aboard a cargo ship without cunning and perception.

Looking entirely relaxed with the situation, it took alot to Phase Ivan.

So I am going to be honest, despite me saying I would get back in, I wasn't able to, a death in the family happened, and that consumed my life for the past month and some change. Everything has now settled and I am in a better state now, so 100% this time I am back fully.
