"Well...you mentioned a 'slumber party' earlier, so I did some research..."
A snort came from the general direction of Dacian, which Hadrian promtly ignored.
"We have food, alcohol, and movies. I wasn't sure exactly what else occurs at 'slumber parties', and-"
"And I have a few other things as well, but we can wait until we've all had a bit to drink before that."
Dacian's tone held mischief, and the playful wink he gave Natalie and Hadrian would make one wonder. And perhaps worry. And the whisper he directed towards Natalie and managed to keep Hadrian from hearing would only seem more suspicious.
"Don't worry about drinking much - it'll be fun. We just need to make sure Hadrian is drunk...because once he's drunk, he'll agree to anything."
Well, perhaps not all of it escaped Hadrian's ear; he managed to catch the last bit, about how he was when he was drunk. Though he really couldn't refute that, so he merely directed a glare at the other mage.

"Slumber party. Right. Uh... I just remember a lot of giggling. And pillow fights. I wonder where my pillows... are.... .... oh." Her cheeks heated at Dacian's little comment. It just... well..
Her mind went directly to the gutter.
"Uh. Er. Uh."
Ah, that was the Natalie they knew and loved! "I'll... just be getting a drink, then," she murmured, siddling over to the alcohol and grabbing a bottle. Oh, thank god - twist off caps. Off it went, and she took a swig.
This... would be interesting.
"So. Uh. Movies? What sort?"

"Comedies. I let Dacian pick them out as, well, I don't have much experience with films..."
Oh, there were certainly some films that would be entertaining. Dacian had thought them gems, really.
"Have you ever seen The Birdcage? I saw it once and enjoyed it, so I grabbed that..." From there, Dacian listed a couple other movies, both comedic in nature. This was not a night for drama or sadness, no - it was all going to be comedy.
The two mages each took some alcohol then as well, though their tolerence levels were strikingly different - Dacian had an unbelievable tolerance to alcohol. Hadrian had one as well, but it was unbelievable because of how little it was.

Natalie was definitely closer to Hadrian's side of things.
"Hm. Comedies... I'm not a huge fan, but hey. Might as well give it a shot, huh? I betcha they're better with alcohol." Most things were. Or at least, they seemed to be at the time.
Another drink. She headed over to her couch, plopping down and looking over at the two mages. She's sat smack dab in the middle, so they'd either have to squish together or sit one on either side.
"... Thanks, Hadrian," she said after a moment. "I... think I needed some company..." A sober comment - possibly one of her last of the evening.

Hadrian smiled at her then, "Then it's a good thing I stopped by."
"Yes, you don't need to worry - we won't be letting you have time to brood tonight."
The two mages sat down on either side of her, as Dacian put the first movie in. They'd watch it, drink a bit - and then the plant-loving mage would put his plans into action.
Oh, it would be much fun...though he'd need to make certain that Hadrian drank enough. He'd never convince the man to go along with this otherwise, be to embaressed by it.

Natalie settled down between the two men, feeling more at home, somehow, than she had since she moved in. This would be a good night, she decided. No business, no relationship issues... just good, maybe not-so-clean fun.
And the movie was funny. And it seemed to get funnier and funnier the more she drank. She wasn't quite drunk, but she was warm and relaxed.
That probably explained why, more than halfway through the movie, she leaned over and, without preamble, rested her head not on Hadrian's, but on Dacian's shoulder. That and habit - that was how she normally laid on the couch, with her head near that end.
Habit and alcohol. Oh, happy day.

While Hadrian was the sort of person to be uncomfortable with contact, Dacian wasn't. His only concern as she rested her head on his shoulder, was that she would fall asleep - that wouldn't be good if they were going to enjoy the night.
"Don't fall asleep, now..."
--
After the movie, Hadrian had imbibed quite a bit of alcohol (for him), and was pleasantly drunk. Drunk enough to do whatever his friends suggested, anyway - which really wasn't all that drunk when you considered his tolerance.
"Alright, now that he's so drunk, he'll agree to it. I borrowed a few things from Ahneta..."
Dacian stepped to the bag he had by the door, keeping his footing very well. He seemed to be the least drunk of the group, even though he was doubtlessly at least a bit tipsy.
"I have..." Reaching over, he began to pull things from the bag, "Makeup. A hair curler...and some of Ahneta's clothing."
Giving Natalie a playful wink, he made his suggestion, "Wanna get Hadrian dressed up? I have a camera, too."

Natalie hadn't fallen asleep. And when Dacian made his suggestion... well, she bolted off the couch, giggling, and ran over to some of her boxes.
"I have things we could use, too! I'm majoring in fashun and costume design. So I have lotsa pretty things..."
One of which was a nurse outfit. She threw that one onto the couch. "They're all gonna be wrinkled, buuuut..." She shrugged and pulled out a few pretty gowns, then turned to Dacian. "Can we dress me up, too? And you! And we can havva fashun show!"
Oh my. Well. At least she seemed to be cheering up?

With laughter in his voice, Dacian agreed. In the future he would claim it to be the alcohol - but it really wasn't, just him being...himself. Not that he was actually a crossdresser, no; just that he was playful enough not to mind. To think it fun.
And plus, it was cheering up Natalie.
His eyes landing on the nurse outfit, a somewhat evil expression crossed his face, "Oh Hadrian! Here you go, go get changed into this."
The rather innocent (but drunken) face of Hadrian didn't get embaressed like he would sober. Instead he just smiled and went to change.
Gotta love booze.

Natalie nearly fell onto the floor laughing. But then she returned to rummaging through her boxes and pulled out a cute, purple ball-gown inspired outfit. This'd be hers.
"Feel free ta look through the other costumes. 'm not sure they'll fit, but..."
She toddled off into what would soon be her work room to change.
When she returned, she was in a short poofy skirt (not quite a tutu, more a shortened ball gown skirt), a rather... tight corset (with the chest to match), long flowy sleeves, an elaborate stand-alone collar, and a masquerade mask.
"Whaddaya think?"

"Very nice!"
"Yes, that does look rather good..."
How amusing, Hadrian actually kept the same speech patterns while drunk. And he had returned as well, dressed in what could only be considered a naughty nurse outfit.
Incredibly short skirt, a shirt that was obviously intended for one with a chest (it seemed it wasn't a naughty nurse for men outfit, sadly), and he even had the little cap.
Dacian had been feeling silly, and managed to find something that could, surprisingly, work with a man's body: a flapper costume. Those girls didn't have chests anyway.
So, flapper dress, boa, and plenty of jangles. Very nice.
"Now...the makeup. You'll have to help us out here, since I've never used it, and I sincerely doubt Hadrian's ever touched the stuff.

Giggling, she padded over on bare feet, grabbing up the make-up. "Okay. Siddown. I dunno if I can do this drunk..." Her motor skills didn't seem to be too badly impaired, though. Still... this was bound to be amusing.
She plopped down on the floor, motioning for Hadrian to come forward first. Hm. What to do for him? First thing's first. Foundation. She put it on thick, out of theatre habit. Still, it went on smooth and somehow matched the pale mage's complexion.
Next? Blush. Applied to the apples of his cheeks... yes. She added some glitter for good measure. Now lips. She picked a shade of maroon and began carefully applying it. THIS she would have to get right, or it would just look messy...
When she was done, Hadrian looked like a very pretty, very flat chested woman. ... Possibly a whore. Somewhere in there. But the make-up looked nice, even with the little hearts drawn on his cheeks and the glitter over everything.
"Dacian~ Whaddaya think? I think he's beautiful." She giggled, then held out her hands to him. "Come on down! Tell me whatcha want."

"Wait - first..."
Giggling (perhaps he was a bit drunker then he thought..) Dacian was rooting through his bag, until he came up with the camera. And then proceeded to take several pictures of Hadrian, all the while gleefully thinking 'blackmail!'
And Hadrian of course, didn't think anything of the sort. He just looked innocent, which - in that ensemble - looked fake. And made it look even more like he was some sort of flat-chested call girl.
..if he had known about Marc, he'd be delighting in just flat out embaressing his poor co-worker.
"There we go, now it's recorded for proster-proper-propity.'
What was he trying to say? Who knew.
Then he bounded over to sit before her, for makeup.
"Whatever you want! I trust your brilliance."

Giggling, Natalie took on an evil, evil look. And went wild. Foundation, different shades of powder to give illusions, make up she dragged out of her own boxes... by the time she was done, Dacian looked like another man.
Or woman, really.
Lots of glitter, lots of paint, lots of weird face-paint-like swirling marks that actually worked with the costume. Sorta.
Pleased, she set down her brush and held up the little hand mirror that she'd found. "I'd totally fall for you~" she said, giggling. "If I was a... a... lesin.... leshian.... leshbien. Yep.
"Now do my make-up!" She pulled off her mask, settling down and pushing the make up over to Dacian and Hadrian.

Dacian pulled a pose, and even the innocently drunk Hadrian couldn't pass up the opportunity to snatch the camera and take pictures.
It seemed there would be blackmail for everyone at this party, really. Especially since Natalie was trusting the two mages to do her make up...
The two men sat before her, each one grabbing different things. While their make-up looked decent, this was likely to be a frightening picture when they were done. Because - a, they were drunk. B, they had never touched make up in their life.
And c, two drunken men who had never worn make up applying makeup to an equally drunk woman was not good.
Blush - hmm...forehead! Makes the forehead prettier, of course.
Lipstick - at least they got in on the right spot.
Random glitter, random make up...
By the time they were done, it was a hilarious picture. And sadly, that had been them truly trying.
