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.

"Hn, yes, you did, actually. But nothing overly gaudy." Oh, the irony. "Just a gathering of relatives on the beach, bonfire, cocktail bar, tiki huts. The usual."

He sighed and sat back, tapping fingers on the arm of the couch. "I'll have to do another one, I suppose, now that the rest of my skulking family's decided to come out of hiding and embrace the twenty-first century."

"Not all of your family," Set said. "Just the less annoying ones. That would be smashing. I haven't been to Greece in ages." He tipped back his glass, finishing his champagne, and plucked up a canape off a passing tray.

"Neither have I, actually." Apollo swirled the ice in his glass, it refilling with another double shot of Glenlivet. "I have my own little island out in the Aegean. Completely off the radar from all of Greece. Oh, granted, most of the family knows where to find me, but I can see them coming and vanish if I don't want to be bothered."

He grinned. "Better for everyone that way."

"Very convenient," Set said with a grin. "I believe that Horus knows where to find me," he said. "But I know naught of the rest of the family, and I'm not sure I mind keeping it that way."

"And how are the two of you getting on these days?"

Yeah, he had to ask. After all, any gossip at all was worth more than one, yes? And Apollo, despite his negations otherwise, was still a Grecian.

Set cast an amused look at Apollo, perfectly well aware of the goal. "Civilly," he said after a moment. "Surprisingly so."
