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.

"Oh my goodness, have you ever been out on Black Friday," Psyche giggled.

"Oh darling, I live for Black Friday..." Eris smirked, her grip tightening on the apple. "There's not a more wonderful day that that for me."

"Except Christmas Eve, I'd imagine," Psyche said, offering Eris her Sex On a Pool Table attempting to distract her a little. "All the mortals who've forgotten that one last present?"

Eris eyed the drink for a moment. "Still not as exciting as Black Friday..."

She took the drink with a small smile and sipped on it. "Thanks dear."

You're welcome, darling. How's your mother?" Psyche looked out at the city. She held Nox in perhaps the highest respect of all the Goddesses.

"She's looking to relocate to the mortal realm when I spoke with her last," Eris shrugged, taking another sip of the drink. "She's leaning towards London... But she's well as ever."

"Would you like it if she did?" Psyche asked curiously.

"I wouldn't mind... I don't see her nearly as often as I should," Eris replied with a shrug... Another sip of the drink... If Psyche wanted it back, she'd surely say something... Until then, Eris was going to help herself.

Nah, Psyche knows her family. Once she's relinquished control of a drink, she never gets it back, and that's perfectly okay. "Let's go inside dear, leave the mortals to their festivities. It's rare enough they get a chance for revelry untainted by stress."

Eris frowned. She should have known Psyche would try to get her to not throw that apple. She was one of the few that would actually try to discourage her instead of encourage.

"What a little schemer you are, dear Psyche... Trying to distract me from the mortals..."

[lovesbeloved.livejournal.com]

"Darling Eris, If I was scheming, why would we go inside? Psyche questioned with a flirtatious look. "None of the souls down there feel inclined to mayhem in any entertaining way."

[goldendiscordia.livejournal.com]

"They would with the right nudge," Eris retorted, raising her eyebrow. "So, my dear Psyche... Why are we going inside, then?"

[lovesbeloved.livejournal.com]

"Well, you've liberated my sex on the pool table," Psyche pointed to the drink. "And enough of our family has shown up, it shouldn't even take a nudge to get them fighting." She held no delusions on her family. If they weren't having sex, they were fighting.

"Oh but darling, this isn't an Olympian party. I'd hate to inconvenience our darling Egyptian host by starting a fight..."

With a sigh, she made the apple disappear and linked her arm with Psyche's. "But you've convinced me... For now."

[lovesbeloved.livejournal.com]

"Our darling Egyptian host who's got basically your job, except amongst the Egyptians?" Psyche teased a little. "Between you, darling Set, and sweet Loki...if something doesn't happen, I shall be very sad. Why come to these family reunions if everyone behaves?"

[goldendiscordia.livejournal.com]

"And show him up? I'd like to ring in the new year, my love, not be kicked out because I do a far better job of stirring up shit," Eris taunted as she sipped her drink again. "Something will happen tonight, my dear. I'm sure of it. I just don't know what... yet."

[lovesbeloved.livejournal.com]

Psyche just laughed at the taunt. "Our family has so much more style in those shennanigans, don't we?" Psyche noted the 'yet' mentally and wondered what they would do. Oh well, it would be interesting and her powers were not creative to come up with the right scenario.
