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.

"With what, 'Rated R'? You couldn't write 'hey, these things have pot in them' and save everybody a lot of trouble instead?"

"If you don't like the text you can take it up with Bar, she's the one who wrote it. And neither of us told you to eat six of them."

"What, you couldn't write it yourself?"

He shakes his head and walks off. "Forget it. I'm sleepin' this shit off."

Voodoo gets all of three paces away before Mike follows.

"You'd be better off booting, you want my honest opinion. You try to sleep through this? You'll wake up and not be able to tell what's real and what isn't."

Voodoo scoffs. "Says you. Me, I'm gonna get shitfaced. Later, pal."

Mike blanches.

"That...that would be an extraordinarily bad idea, Ray. Of the Cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria, tell him about the Twinkie levels of bad."

Voodoo scoffs. "Whatever. I don't feel anything, anyway. That batch probably didn't have any THC in it, and I ain't about to go boot that shit over nothin'."

With that, he melds into the crowd, making his way toward the liquor tables.

Run while you still can, Mike.

One of the drawbacks to not being very tall is that it's very easy for Mike to lose people in a crowd.

"Oh man, he's going to hit the Quasar Wall and not know what hit him, or like...try to fly.

WHAT EVER YOU DO, DON'T TRY TO FLY," he yells over the din in the direction Voodoo disappeared in.

"I'll see him. It'll be okay. He'll be okay. He's a big guy. I'll just...keep an eye on the door just in case."
