New Year's Eve Soiree

[sandsofchaos]

Jennifer had put in extra overtime for this - though Set himself had arranged the servers, made of sand and storm - but the stage was set. The glossy black bar was stocked fully with any kind of alcohol you could ever desire, including a selection of Egyptian microbrews. To the right of it, the dessert bar - staffed by two lithe, sloe-eyed girls - has any sweet you might desire, from a chocolate fountain to creme brulee to a dense raspberry torte.

There are the low couches by the windows, where the waiters pass with French champagne and canapes regularly, and for those who don't mind the chill, there are the vast decks just outside, where you can appreciate the sight of New York on this night, or...possibly find some privacy for that New Year's kiss.

The Bar

[sandsofchaos.livejournal.com]

Get a drink, or get several drinks. The bartender will make whatever you want.

The Dessert Bar

[sandsofchaos.livejournal.com]

Or if sugar is more your thing, visit the dessert bar, where any kind of sugary sweet is available.

The Couches

[sandsofchaos.livejournal.com]

Sit, and socialize, enjoying the champagne and canapes.

The Deck

[sandsofchaos.livejournal.com]

Or if socialization isn't your thing - or if you crave a different kind - well, there's always the vast deck, with many corners to hide in.

Eris promised herself a few things, but the important one to her was that she'd start more fights. Despite the chill outside and her lack of coat, it was the first place she slunk off to. Her hair still appeared disheveled, but at least she had gone through the trouble of finding a new dress for the occasion.

Leaning over the railing, she held her apple. Set wouldn't appreciate it if she started a fight within the party itself.... But those mortals down there... Now that could be fun.

There had been a reason Selene's party was devoid of chocolate. It was so the Moon Goddess wouldn't spend her entire time with the sweets. But this wasn't her party... And Set had gone through all the trouble to set up a perfect dessert bar.

She had gone shopping just days before and found the perfect dress for the party... New shoes, new jewelry... Everything. So now, all that was left was to socialize...

After she got done dipping everything in chocolate. Twice.

Psyche headed for the bar, and ordered herself a Sex on the Pool Table. The name just tickled her for some reason. She'd found a gorgeous (http://www.bluefly.com/ABS-by-Allen-Schwartz-bordeaux-satin-deep-v-back-cowl-neck-gown/COLOR_CROSS-SELL/312022602/detail.fly) dress with a low enough back she could easily let her wings out. Which she'd already done, the instant she got in the door. It was so nice to not hide her beautiful appendages.

Aurora immediately headed for the couches and sank down, taking an offered champagne flute and a few canapes. She had a long day at work again and just wanted to relax; Aurora was wearing this (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y190/angeladdict/92319_1.jpg) and her hair was loose around her shoulders.

Psyche spotted ERis out on the balcony. "Golden apples again darling?" There's no recrimination in Psyche's tone, just gentle amusement.

Eris glanced over her shoulder as she heard the voice. Her lips quirked into a small smile. "Nothing else really does the job..." she mused. "A little nudge is all it takes anymore for these mortals to snap... But I miss the chaos my apples create."

[lovesbeloved.livejournal.com]

"You need to hang out more at Starbucks in the morning hours darling. Everyone trying to get their nonfat skinny double-shot mocha lattes and taking each others," Psyche giggled.

[goldendiscordia.livejournal.com]

"Not the same," Eris laughed, turning to rest her back against the railing. "And I do spend most mornings there... With the right nudge, there have been some spectacular fights."

Set leaned over the couch and plucked a lobster cake off one of the platters. "I hope you're enjoying yourself, Aurora," he said.

[thedawngoddess.livejournal.com]

Flashing him a bright smile, Aurora nodded. "I'm having a wonderful time, Set. This place is excellent. And you're a wonderful host."

Apollo simply lounged. He'd done as protocol required and dressed for the occasion, silk shirt and vest, accompanied by slacks and comfortable shoes, jacket slung over the cushion behind him.

Scotch in one hand, the other propped casually on the back of the couch, he sat at ease and simply watched the rest of the throng mill about. He had to admit Set'd spared little expense, if any, for this shindig; all in all, the deity knew how to jazz things up.

Athena was sort of here not entirely of her own free will, so hiding seemed like a very good option.

Terpsichore was just in the mood for a regular old martini. Classic. She'd dressed, she was present, and if the party kicked up she'd be ready to go. Or just ready to sit around. Either way.

[tomakealiving.livejournal.com]

Smiling at Apollo, she scooted over, drink in hand. "It's very grand," she commented.

[bringsthelight.livejournal.com]

Ahh, company. The Light Bringer beamed in welcome, smile bright and he slid over a bit to let her settle beside him.

"It is indeed, belovèd, it is indeed." He smirked, eyebrow quirking. "It seems our Egyptian cousins have come a long way since the days of the pharaohs."

[tomakealiving.livejournal.com]

Which she did gracefully, setting her drink down for the moment. "I should hope," she giggled.

[bringsthelight.livejournal.com]

Apollo chuckled. "Set seems to have good taste, after all." He sipped whiskey and added, "Although why he insists on the charade eludes me."

[tomakealiving.livejournal.com]

"Oh, doesn't everyone opt for charades sometimes?" Terpsichore asked thoughtfully.

[bringsthelight.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes, I suppose. But I've never made it a practice to do so."

No, his ego wouldn't let him, would it? Ha. Welcome to the Olympian family.

[tomakealiving.livejournal.com]

"Honorable," she murmured, reaching for her drink.

[bringsthelight.livejournal.com]

Apollo snorted. "Arrogant."
