The Austrian Eagles present: The LAW Christmas Party! (Open Thread)

[CaptainL]

When Molly looked down at the scene before her...she was at a loss for words. It seemed like the party had barely begun, and already it was descending into chaos, with Shiori now slipping on the floor and falling right back into the pile with Sheila and Mina, her impact causing the Australian girl to let out a yelp as her legs kicked into the air - and in the process, spilling vodka everywhere! Molly bit her lip, and her eye twitched. She hadn't expected this to get so out of hand. At least, not so soon. "O-Oh, err..." Lifting a hand to her chin, she glanced nervously back and forth between Harmonia and the room. "Should...should we do something..?" she whispered to the hostess.

But Harmonia was already on her way down to greet Alexa and Takeshi, and Molly quickly fell in behind her, greeting the two of them with a wave and a grin - though her cheer was only a half-hearted attempt to cover up her concerns that everything around her was falling apart. She could only hope the newcomers wouldn't notice. "Yeah, uh...hello! It's lovely to meet you two, er...yeah, yeah, come in!"

Sheila, meanwhile, allowed Finella to pull her back to her feet. "Thanks for that!" She leaned down to sniff at herself, the aroma of alcohol still hanging in the air around her. But she shrugged that off without a care. "It's getting exciting here, huh?"

Harmonia grinned at Molly and stopped for a second.
"Molly Darling, you already behave as if you were the lady of this house...not that I would have something against that, in a few years of course.", she said and the hint could'nt be mistaken but what should Harmonia do, Molly already was like an extension of Harmonia, helping her as good as she could...and with a few other things that would go down in next year.

There was no denying that Harmonia was happy, and the firm but strong hold on Mollys hand that never ceased, even taking her to greet the guests as if this was her and Mollys house, were strong signs right in Mollys way how much in love Harmonia was with her.
Harmonia even ignored the commotion...


"Up we go! Alright! Now its a party, huh?!", the Hellraiser shouted and sprayed some mysterious liquor with her watergun.
"Free drinks on the house!", she said and shot into the air!
"Say, Mina, what kind of booze is that anyway?", she said and sprayed something in her mouth.

Alexa couldn't help but narrow her eyes at the odd comment Harmonia had made in the middle of her greeting. "I don't think I saw you around Law yet" was that suppose to be an insult? She could understand that if it was only her but she was with Takeshi and that made it a little harder to believe. Maybe they were just ignorant of popular Japanese singers, they were after all foreigners -

"Nah. Nothing like that were just friends. I'm Takeshi by the way and that's Alexa. Though I wouldn't exactly us call us new. Hehe..." Takeshi laughed. Taking all of it with stride as he introduced both of them while he accepted the beverages that Harmonia had provided for them. "Oh and it's a pleasure to meet you and your friend. Your dresses really complement each other." Takeshi finished. Giving the obvious couple a coy look before he would raise his glass and take a sip.

"Yeah it's um... a party." Alexa started fumbling with her words. As she turned her head towards the ceiling and the imbedded chicken carcass still dripping off from it. "You sure know some wacky characters. Though it's fortunate you have so much floor room. I couldn't imagine how this would look like with a full house. Lucky aren't we that you forgot to send all the invites, huh?." Alexa joked. Not completely malicious of course but just as a way to remind Harmonia that she wasn't exactly that high on the social ladder either. Which of course left Takeshi choking on his drink.

"Oh sorry I sometimes get carried away I didn't realize you were the Molly Forster. Where's your sister though? Did she, uh, disapprove?" Alexa asked. As she glanced off to the side towards Harmonia. "The party I mean. You guys are from England right. So I imagine she would have preferred you over there than here. right?" Alexa finished. As she took a sip of her own drink. Satisfied that if Harmonia wanted to make her own snippy comments about them then she better be ready for some of her own.

Molly chuckled a little to herself. She and Harmonia were already operating on the same wavelength. With the two dressed the same, arm in arm, and practically finishing each others' sentences, it seemed as though they had become mirror images of each other. Hopefully, that wouldn't be too obvious...hopefully. Even still, it only felt natural to Molly that she would help Harmonia out in managing the festivities - though, her cheeks did flush when Harmonia dropped the hints she did. "H-Huh? What...do you mean about-?" But she caught herself, clearing her throat. Anything Harmonia could possibly say to that, she realized, was more than they were willing to let spill just yet.

Molly's smile brightened as she turned her head up to face the newcomers, laughing off her prior concerns. "Thank you, thank you! It's really nice to meet you too! Yeah, uh, I..." She looked back over her shoulder with a nervous chuckle, looking at what was unfolding around them. "I know things are a little crazy right now, but I promise you it's not usually like this!"

Then, when Alexa addressed her directly, Molly stood a little taller, eager to put her best face forward. After all, if she was going to do some hosting here, she had to own that responsibility, and she was going to live up to it! "Yep, that's me!~ As for Chelsea...ah, well, yeah, she'd rather be home at a time like this. She doesn't have any interest in going to the Eagle's Nest any time soon...personal things, y'know? But I thought it sounded really nice, and I wanted to check it out, so...here I am! Besides, she'd probably spend this time drinking anyway, and she can do that anywhere."

Harmonia smiled proudly as Molly seemingly had changed into the role of second host.
And the heart of the Austrian was jumping in her chest as Molly helped her with all she could.
Would'nt this be great..to do this with Molly every party...every year..maybe in their own house?
Harmonia shook her head.
//Schatz you are going ahead of yourself. You are together with her like a week, slow down!//
Harmonias pinkcheeked gaze and rather stupid smile at possible futures was cut short by Takeshi.
"Oh sorry! I meant I have'nt seen you yet! Sorry sometimes my english leaves me, right Molly, last week where I..."
Then Alexa spoke.
And with the words that came out of her mouth, Harmonia knew she would'nt become friends with this woman anytime soon.
She got a little cold again and Molly could feel the hand holding hers getting a little tighter.
"Well, it hast just begun an hour ago so I would say there is much time for the other guests to arrive. I mean surely these popular people have something better to do then coming early to our silly party. Like, sucessful people, oh whom you hear of at LAW and such.", she spat a little poison but covered up real good.
"So Fräulein Alexa. Why won't you come in and have a drink.

[TheSuitedOwl]

"I see. Still though it's a shame she couldn't come. I have a feeling she would have fit right in." Alexa joked with Molly. As she turned towards the mess around them. Though once Harmonia had begun to speak up again the brunette would settle her gaze and look at her hostess in the eye. "Oh your right. I guess the party would be a little too silly for them. Their probably off attending more important things." Alexa shot back. Not missing a beat as she took another sip of her cup that Takeshi had handed her earlier.

"I think another drink would be splendid." Though before she could move for said drink. Takeshi would place a hand on her shoulder and say. "L-Let me... accompany you." Takeshi said in a raspy voice. Clearly concerned as he still tried to clear out the last of the drink out of his airway.

Causing Alexa to blush a bit. Though not because he had his hand on her but because it had reminded her why they were there. What was she doing? She was here to make... friendly acquaintances and what was the first thing she did? Attack her host and did so without even considering what Takeshi had wanted or what that would even do to him. "Certainly. If you excuse us."

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia listened to every word and the hold on Mollys hand got tighter the more Alexa spoke.
"Ja, you may are right. But then again a smaller party is easier to control. It is much easier to pick unwished guests out, you know?", she said,with the sweetest of smile on her lips, ignoring the chaos behind her.
She took a deep breath and decided to give this woman not the stage she maybe hoped for, or maybe Harmonia just took things a little too seriously as things seemed to get out of hand behind them.
"Have fun Takeshi-san and uhm Alice?", she asked purposefully incorrect and turned around with Molly.
"Man...who is this person?", she asked Molly.
"And has she breakfast a Bitch today?[m", she followed an giggled a little.
"Well...at least they all seem to have some fun.", Harmonia suggested and shook her head.
"Don't you agree Darling?"

Well, this was swiftly getting awkward. Molly paused, her lips pursing as she listened in on the conversation between Harmonia and Alexa, and as she grew tense her fingers tightened around Harmonia's own, gripping her hand firmly. With every word that passed between these two, she could sense the tensions growing. She hadn't had much in the way of interactions with Alexa, nor did she recall ever hearing of her having an issue with Harmonia, but already she could tell things were going south - especially when Harmonia made the quip about breakfast, something that made Molly cringe at the thought of how the brunette might respond. Still, she cleared her throat and tugged at Harmonia's arm, trying to guide her away from the scene for now. She just wanted to change the subject before this party got even more out of control than it already had.

"Yeah, uh, let's..." she said. "No point in worrying over these things. We're here to have fun...right?" She certainly hoped as much...

Harmonia made sure that Alexa would'nt hear her last words and sighed when she was alone with Molly, already forgetting about this obnoxious person.
Why was it that for every good and friendly guest there was a bad one?
"Yes, yes of course we are!", Harmonia smiled and gave Mollys arm a tug.
She then spotted something and grinned.
"Uh, Molly would you please check the presents with me? Everyone will get one when they are going and hopefully these troublemakers have'nt damaged them."
Walking over to the tree, Harmonia stopped in her tracks as they were out of sight from the others behind the tree and...under a mistletoe! Revealing the charming Austrians true intentions behind her big grin as she laid her hands on Mollys side.

Ignore them, ignore them, ignore them... Alexa found herself repeating as they moved away. Though even as she was still trying to salvage the evening for herself. She couldn't help but feel like she was wasting her time. She didn't know anyone here, the party wasn't up to the usual standard she was use to, and top it all off she was already in a sour mood.

"Alexa what the hell was that all about? She a rival or something?"

"No." Alexa breathed. Reaching an empty table where she would seat and rub her forehead with a noticeable blush. "I don't personally know them. I ... That blonde bimbo just irritated me. Alright." Alexa explained exasperated. Knowing full well that she wasn't exactly looking great in front of him.

"Easy. Easy. I get it. Things don't come so easily for you. We all got our little quirks. Just relax, work through it, and I'll go get us something to eat and drink. Okay." Takeshi soothed her. Then just like he said. He left in search of food.
