Welcome to Gaia! ::

"He's the devil." Jada nodded to Kess, giving Marlo a look like she wanted to eat him alive. She might start with his brains. "He sank my battleship." He wasn't going to sink Kess's too. "I don't match him. He's blonde!" And pretty.

She glanced back at him, brow furrowed, and let go of Kess's arm. It took two slightly unsteady steps and she reached out, straightened one of his lapels.

"Ashley." Jada spun back to Kess, gripping her arm again. "She needs to help us. We can Thriller up on Ariel, and it'll be fun. Can you see her? She's the living one. Unless she left, but I didn't see her, lets hunt her down.

"I can bite her. Where's the blood?" She dragged Kess off in a random direction.

Marlo wasn't sure what he'd just walked into. "Tate-" She was leaning on him. Touching in ways that were not normal. Leaning. She- she had a cup of punch in hand. "Tate." His voice went into deadpan. "You're drunk aren't you?" If she was this was prime material for throwing off her game at their next battleship meeting. Shrugging at the comment about being lively he pulled up the sleeve of his left arm. A fake bite mark. "Alive, but condemned to die. I like going for the less obvious zombie. Easier to infect others that way. But-" Eyes went to the hostess. "I'll take that to heart. Fake blood is a b***h to get out of clothes. I-"

Jada. Jada's jumping in of her own will shut him up in zero seconds flat. She- she was drunk to. And he was dry and- Well this night could certainly get interesting. And with the comment about eating... "Out of all the things I would eat from you Jada, it certainly wouldn't be your soul." He was still angry at her rejection, (as he saw it) "It would be your mouth. And maybe a few other parts. You always did looks rather decadent." If her drunk self could stand his teasing then maybe the night would be more amusing.

Turning back to Tate he smiled figuring they would be to hung over in the morning to completely remember. "Tate, my dear, I will always play battleship with you. Drunk or sober." Her sigh got her a smile. "She is pretty. Why do you mention it? Is there something I should know?" A semi-polite way to ask 'Tate are you a lesbian?' ".... I can steal Jada away from her if you want me to."

Her blink at Marlo's accusation was more than a little owlish, and she considered her drink for a long moment. After that long moment, she shrugged freely, examining her friend's bite mark. Well, he should really get that examined, since you know... zombie was hard to get out of clothes. That was why she'd used someone else's clothes. Only she'd paid them first, so, that was that, wasn't it? It was okay to ruin clothes you'd paid for with fake blood made from food dye and gelatin. "I promise I won't bite you," she told him, solemnly, and she patted his arm.

Even if she liked biting, she had now made a promise and it was a rule. Tate waited patiently for the innuendos to end, remembering vaguely to tuck that interaction away for later. If that was Marlo flirting she didn't want him interested in her, mostly because gosh she could be pretty terrible but that was just obvious. She made a note to teach Marlo about talking to short, but nice-looking ladies. No wonder he didn't have a girlfriend.

"I would loseeeee," she sighed, "I would stack up all the ships right in the middle and you would kill me in seconds." The auburn-haired young woman paused, hands moving outwards in a poof! gesture. "I do that sometimes anyway, did you know? Just to ******** with you?" At his question, she rolled her eyes and threw up her hands, her expression a mix between exasperation and annoyance. "No, there is nothing you should know." What was he even talking about there? "I just. Want to touch her face all over." Pressing her palms to the side of her head, she stared after Jada and Kess for a very long moment. Then her attention turned back to Marlo, and she picked up her punch again. Yes. Hell yes.

"I wouldn't put money on it," Kess grinned, despite her honesty. "You failed miserably in the brains department, and you're already sloshed." What the hell had she been drinking, anyway? The blonde had simply maintained a nice buzz, with the assistance of the 'punch'. Whatever Jada was pounding must've have an uppercut.

Jada began to talk about her feelings, and Kess idly wondered where Ashley had gotten to. The purple-haired girl was much better at providing the proper friend advice in these types of situation. By 'proper', one meant 'any', since the blonde declined to provide any sort of input.

"Bummer," She narrowed one eye, as Jada poked at the blood. "Are you about to drink that?" Smelling, touching, next was tasting, right?

Tate was hammered.

He wasn't sure if this was wonderful or possibly disastrous. A little bit of column A a little of column B he decided, watching her reactions. "I'm glad you won't bite me Tate, you're a true friend." She was, even if she was wasted. He chuckled as she said she would lose. "Well, thank you for the truth about your drunk game skills. I am sure I would be just as terrible. And touch her face?" He was a bit confused at that one, having never been drunk and having the desire to touch anyone's face.

But.. He guessed it could make sense? If he was dunk. "Huh." He looked to where she had glanced. "So how do you know Kess? I just came here because I heard it was an open door party. And I- I..." Jada was bending over and while she was, Marlo was doing a very poor job of his staring. As soon as she popped back up and began to hug the fake blood, he looked away, face pink. "....Anyway. What was with the gorging on plates of pasta? Are there some kind of drunk party games going on?"

He needed a distraction. Drunk games were probably better than she-who-made-him-seeth-with-lust-hate-and-a-bunch-of-other-emotions.

"Yes, time for fun!" She said and raised her glass to no one as she clanked it with the air in 'cheers'. "Here is to fun, my silly sober friend," her grin was broad as she chugged back her glass of Blood Bath. She eyed the various punch bowls suspiciously, her brows furrowed and eyes narrowed.

"I dunno which ones are normal drinks. I can try them all for you?" Her hands moved quicker than her mouth did, apparently, because she had already poured herself a few more drinks of varying types. Sipping at each one, she eventually pointed him to the alcohol-free beverage. Taking large gulps of the drinks she had poured, she finished them off before refilling her larger cup with more of the Blood Bath.

"Ohhhh hey lookit! People are eating lots of things! I wonder if anyone will puke..." With a giggle, she sauntered over to the table and watched the group of girls scarf down their giant plates of spaghetti and meatballs.

When she eventually tired of watching people eat copious amounts of food, Quinn made her way over to the dance floor and moved her body to the loud music playing, her eyes closed. Realistically? To anyone watching she was doing more flailing than actual dancing of any sort.

Tate nodded, solemnly, auburn hair falling into her eyes. "I try to be a good friend, because... that's what good friends do." Yes, thank you, Tatiana. Please come again when you don't have an arm full of Marlo, a head full of drunk, and a hand full of alcohol. She just grinned again, rubbing the top of his head with a flat palm.

"Mhmm," she said, considering the fact that Marlo smelled very nice very deeply. Probably it was just cologne, so she figured she could just stand there and watch Kess and Jada. Kess, of the touchable face, and oh ******** Marlo was staring at Jada's butt.

Suddenly, she understood everything.

In response to the question about face-touching, she made another assenting sound and corrected him: "All over." Because... she was just going to do something about it, eventually. When they were done with the blood. Just because these weren't really her clothes didn't mean she wanted to get them dirty. After all, she still had to walk home! And that would be a trial all on its own, wouldn't it? "Kess goes to DCU with me and... we talked in the library? I think..." Her eyes widened a little, almost comically, and she leaned away from Marlo for a moment, somewhat precariously. "I think she was flirting with me? But I don't knoooow. Do you know?"

Marlo was blushing! Why was he doing that, was it Jada's butt again? She stood on her tiptoes, but didn't see anyone's behind sticking out appealingly; with a pout, she settled back onto her heels. "They were eating brains," she said in a low whisper, and then started giggling again. "I think they're gonna do a drinking game next," she managed between small bouts of laughter.

Venice had watched the four girls eat the brains with added gusto (thats what she liked to see, zombies with a good appetite), obviously some doing better than others and some, well...failing. Bad. It wasn't all an anti-climax though, she got to watch Jada (hot dam!) and Kess (hot dam, dam!) shove food in their faces and get all messy. She need to fan herself a little, it was getting hot in here.

Turning away she spotted one of the other contestants and felt like being nice. When was Venice ever not nice? Maybe after another 3 of these British Zombie drinks would do it but she was still very sober and charming. That was the terrible side effect of drinking since she was 13. She could hold her booze. It was just a very, very bad sign when she did get drunk. It meant hell was freezing over.

Swaying over to Castille she gave a big bloody smile and placed an arm over her shoulders as she followed the girls eye line to the now other drunken guests. Personal space invader much? Venice didn't care! "Haha, ohh ok what's going on here?? Should I be all hostess and calm things down?? Or do I make things worse?? You seem cute and innocent what should I do!" She gave her a nudge with the edge of her hip as she watched Jada take the whole "killing Ariel" by the horns. Oh this would be so much fun! Noting the other boy (Alexandre) she gave a nod and pulled the shoulders of her new friend closer as she pulled out a hand for him to shake.

"Venice by the way sweeties, and this here is my new guardian angel...conscious thing! Enjoy!"
