holiday party post
Aphrodite's New York loft is done up to the nines.
The first good look as one enters is of twinkling Manhattan through the big windows, lights bright against a dark winter sky. The windows take up most of two walls; the rest of the space is largely empty, the star of the show a glowingly polished hardwood floor perfect for dancing.
There's a cluster of low-slung couches and chairs at one end of the room, velvet and leather and very inviting. They're situated by the fireplace, which lends them a cozy glow-- though it isn't cold anywhere in here, despite the windows.
Aphrodite is very proud of a few things about tonight:
1) The music, which spans a decent range of time periods and tempos, and will be playing for most of the evening.
2) The decorations, understated but quite lovely: softly glowing lights, silver and gold ribbons wound around columns and draped from the ceiling ... the occasional strategically placed bit of mistletoe.
3) Her dress.
And yes, darlings, there is a very well stocked bar and counter full of snacks.
That's what happens when you enlist the Three Graces to help you plan your shindigs.

Re: Dance Floor
"Where did they find that piece of wreckage? I've read about that flight." Though he doesn't remember it, especially since that jackass Lindbergh overshadowed the White Bird's fate.
Re: Dance Floor
The thing about flying is it terrifies her as much as it interests her. Her world's nowhere close to any of the things she's seen since coming to Milliways.
"An' my interests don't exclude flyin' t'New York, I'm sorry t'inform you. I've never actually been inside an airplane."
Re: Dance Floor
"But not till after the war." Yes, he asks women he just met about flying with him all the time. It's a good way to get their interest.
Re: Dance Floor
"Really? We could? You'd take me?"

Re: Dance Floor
"I think that's reasonable. Thank you kindly."
The song comes to an end with her feeling as if she's floating an inch above the floor.
Re: Dance Floor
"Thank you for the dance."
Re: Dance Floor
She curtsies, and tosses him one last smile.
"I hope t'have the pleasure again sometime."
