house party (open log)

[laserguy]

Who: Scott Summers and anyone stopping by
Where: Scott's new home
What: Irresponsible teenager from 1980s America wants to throw a party like he sees in the movies. Also something something surviving the maze and dealing with the locals being cold suddenly. Also, it's Scott's and Jinx's birthday! Sort of. They're combining it.
Warnings: Underage drinking, teenage stupidity probably, will update as things continue!


[Maybe you saw Scott's post earlier about hosting a party, or just come across his house, the door's open and everything! Scott probably won't mind if it's someone he dislikes, but he'll just have to suck it up anyway! It's probably good there's not a lot of furniture in the house yet, leaving the space more open for people to mingle and play games. If it gets too crowded, well, there's always the front yard and a couple of rooms to hide yourself in.

Of course, it isn't a party without:

Food: Scott's only scourged up snacks on his end, along with a couple of pizza boxes and sandwiches, so potluck style, bring something that will amaze the other guests or make use of the bathrooms in the house looking at you Mitama.

Drinks: Along with some water and juice, it wouldn't be a party without alcohol. There's a keg of beer that he somehow acquired that people can pour into their cup. Sadly, he doesn't really have any other alcoholic drinks unless someone else decides to bring some!

Games: Any stereotypical game you can think of will probably be played, from Truth or Dare, to Seven Minutes in Heaven, Never Have I Ever, Would you Rather, Spin the Bottle, and etc. There's also a table where people can set up a game of beer pong at.]

[ At least the girl doesn't do as much as bat an eyelash at Jinx choosing to sit down in that sort of way. Just-- yup, that sure seems like Jinx. So contrary that she refuses the comfort of a chair.

Though, really, Ange is already glad she doesn't have to share her own seat thanks to it. Imagine close physical proximation. Awful. Do not want. ]

Wow. Rich people just are the worst anywhere.

[ Maybe a touch hypocritical to say when Ange is a rich person, but, to be fair, she doesn't think she's a great person either. So it works, right. ]

They literally forced anyone else to live underground? That sounds almost sociopathic. Like something you'd read in a dystopian novel.

[opheliac]

Well, my people's been down there for centuries. Who really knows if we've always been ther or got shoved there. I wouldn't be surprised if we were forced.

( she gives the other a nonchalant shrug as her lips curl into a brief smile of fondness. )

— Place was shit but it was sorta homie too. I miss my people every now and then. Roughness and all.

[entreats]

You think the people here aren't rough?

[ Ange raises a single eyebrow, glancing at the rest of the people here at the party before looking back at Jinx. ]

One guy I came across back in that dumb maze had an entire pile of bodies reaching up into the skies representing his crime. I don't know how much more rough than that you can get.

[opheliac]

So some shmuck killed more people than I did. So what?

( what does she mean "so what"? this child. jinx rolls her eyes as she leans back for a second to balance herself from how she's sitting, then rocks forward to sit properly again. )

— Doesn't make ya rough. Just makes you mindless. I bet he was killin' without a reason and that is the worst kind of people.

[entreats]

[ .. wait, hold on.

It's not even the 'so what' that gets that kind of stumped reaction out of Ange. Jinx being a touch childish about things no one should be childish about, like mass murder, isn't all that surprising. It's just Jinx's special way of existing.

No, what instead gets Ange to stop and blink is: ]

You believe in having reasons for murdering people?

[ Look, Jinx, she just thought you were a general all out anarchy person, so apparently this much is news to Ange. Not that Ange disagrees with this idea, just-- it's surprising! ]

[opheliac]

Having a meaning behind it makes it all the more juicier!

( this time instead of rocking back and forth in her seat, she now sways side to side. because sitting completely still is way too boring and she needs to have constant movement. )

My body counts had a reason. They were all my enemies and tryin' to go against what I was trying to accomplish. Another worst kind of person is if they got no problem killing kids. I'd never go that far. Biiiiiiiig red flag. If you meet someone who does that AND kill all willy-nilly? They're off their rocker to the extreme and needs to be put down, stat.

[entreats]

I'm learning so much from you.

[ Okay, so maybe that's a little dry and deadpan, but.. sue Ange, how else is the straight man type supposed to react to hearing all of this casually being thrown around at what's actually supposed to be a birthday party, huh.

Though it is true that she's learning a few things about Jinx here. Ange is paying more attention than her deadpan might necessarily show. ]

So whenever you cause chaos here, you have a reason for that too? Or does that only apply to murder?

[opheliac]

Sometimes it's to live this place up a bit, but they're reasons for that too!

( if one could believe such a thing. now entirely bored of just rocking in her seat, jinx does a stretch and falls onto her back to lie on the floor -- hopefully it's clean. even if it's not, a little bit of dirty won't hurt. it builds character and all that noise. )

[entreats]

[ Have fun being a living vacuum cleaner, Jinx..

Especially since this is a party. Ange doesn't particularly want to know what could have been on that floor already, thank you very much!!

Not that she's remarking any of that out loud. The girl carefully keeps her thoughts to herself, instead just focusing on what Jinx is saying, rather than the way she's sprawled out on the ground like that. ]

I'm not sure that's a reason, you know. That still means it's just for your own pleasure in the end.

[ There are a whole lot of things Ange can understand, but randomly causing chaos? Not that. ]

[opheliac]

Greeettss, aren't ya even listening to me?

( vacuum cleaners are pretty nifty, thank you. anyway she whines as she says this -- feet swaying from side to side with a thump when her boots meet. )

Everything I do has a reason. Everything.

[entreats]

Hey, Jinx.

[ Ange leans forward from where she's sitting. Something about her seems a little bit more playful than the usual. In fact, if Jinx has a moment to look over mid-mini-temper-tantrum, she might even notice the corners of Ange's lips curling up into an amused smile. ]

That's exactly what a supervillain would say, you know. [ Yes, she thinks this is VERY funny. Leave Ange and her inner amusement alone! ]

1/2

[opheliac]

( ange isn't the only one between them who is tugging her lips into an obnoxious sneer. and while she won't admit it out loud, she enjoys this little possibly dark side of her. at least this is what jinx is reading from her perspective. not inching herself off the ground, she cocks her head to get a better view of the girl -- voice dipping into a lulled yet ominous coo: )

We're all monsters here, Lil' Butterfly. None of us are innocent and this place?

( she lifts up a hand in a lazy notion to gesture their entire surroundings. )

Knows how ugly we are on the inside. Some are just a lil' messier than others. Some don't think it but that's 'cause they're in denial. But they'll catch up sooner or later.

2/2

[opheliac]

( and with that out of the way, her entire tone and face twists into a complete one-eighty by showing a light-hearted grin -- voice pitching higher and cuter like an innocent child. )

— And I won!!

( she bellows with her arms shooting straight up in the air. )

I told ya I'd make you smile and I did...! Ooooohhh yeah, I'm cool, I'm cool ♫.

[entreats]

[ Ange should probably be a little more concerned about that first part. But-- you know, she feels like she's got a pretty alright grasp on what Jinx is like at this point, and this is just one of those little things that's part of it. Not like Ange will deny that she herself is messed up in some ways too, but Jinx is just a little bit more off her rocker about it compared to Ange herself.

So rather than getting even slightly surprised or fussy about Jinx's dark monologue there, she instead just lets out a huff when the girl continues with the more lighthearted half of it.

T-That puff wasn't a laugh, okay! You can't prove it! Come back with a search warrant!! ]

If you say that any louder or higher with excitement, you'll proceed right into the sound ranges only dolphins can hear.

[ Yes, of course Ange has to make a deadpan remark to that. What else does she do? This is her default safe response to hide behind, thank you very much. ]

Also, you're ridiculous. [ It doesn't necessarily sound like a bad thing.

Or rather -- when Ange intends to insult someone, she usually sounds a little more direct about it than this. ]

[opheliac]

Awww, don't be a spoilsport 'cause I did what I said I was gonna do. ( she drops her arms down to plop on her belly, returning to sway her feet back and forth -- except with more giddy-up. )

— A smile is a smile, no matter what kind. And you didn't set any specific rules on this bet.

( jinx then reaches over to poke the tip of ange's shoes, purposely jamming her finger with force to see if she could feel any her toes through the leather. )

Boy, I can tell you don't play games much. But ya live, ya learn!
