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.

She winks at him. "Chocolate and everything that goes with it."

The high starts to hit her soon after and she grins.

"Mmm. Definitely the best."

"If there's anything that doesn't go with chocolate, it should be removed from the multi-verse post haste."

He positively glows at her praise.
Preens even.

She laughs at the preening, a soft sound. "Oh God yes, nuke it right out of orbit." Shimmying to the music, the brownie squeezed tight in her hand, she asks, "so, candy man, do you dance?"

"It's the only way to be sure," he adds sagely.

Does he dance.
DOES HE DANCE?!

"Please. I don't just cut a rug, I give it a full Brazilian.

"What's that?" she calls. The, swiveling her lips like a dervish on the move, she calls, "honey, you're WAY too late for that!"

"That...is far more information than I was expecting to get. Do you swing?" he asks as if he wasn't already taking her hands and leading her further out onto the dance floor.

"Oh honey, I'm just getting warmed up," Clem laughs, twirling around in time with his tug. "I used to - but I'm going steady with a guy now." But swing dance she does, as her feet demonstrate.

"Ha! Yeah...I know how that goes. But good on you for the monogamy."

Mike is a whole lot stronger than he looks, which isn't a commentary on Clem's size, but rather on the ease of which he picks her up for a lift.

"Thanks," she chuckles. "He's a wonderful guy." Her opinion on that does change depending on Sam's behavior toward her. She let out a 'gah' of surprise, but manages to throw in a few elegant gestures that hopefully resemble the swim.
