The Birthday party

Eliza felt a much as saw Evie’s eyes run up an down her body. She had dressed down (by her standards) so as to now show up the birthday girl. Jean shorts that showed more thgh than they covered, an off the shudder top to match and stappy sandals. Seems she stilll caught an admirer however.

With a knowing smirk on her face she replied. “Back-rubs sounds like fair compensation! Mind if I pay in advance...?”

She saw Lucan come in, and imdeiatekky put an arm around Elisa. Her eye widened at first, butshe soon put two and two together. She smiled warmly across the room at them before turning her attention back to Evie. That’ll be a fun conversation for later, she thought.

Evie watched the room while she drank, watching as people settled in. She didn't know how many people Elisa had invited, or how popular the girl was, but it seemed like a decent turn out regardless. Her eyes lit up when she saw Jude at the door. She hoped he would come in, she still hadn't paid him back for blabbing about her powers, after all.

But she could worry about that later, for the moment she focused on the blue-haired girl, her grin widening. Evie enjoyed being a bit of a flirt, a bit of a tease, mostly because she enjoyed flustering people. Though most people on the island either ignored her or rolled their eyes when she tried. She appreciated when someone gave back every now and again.

"Weeeeell, I was planning on enjoying my drinks before getting onto the festivities. But if you have any suggestions I'll be happy to hear it~."

She rocked back and forth on her heels, blinking innocently at the girl, her little smirk remaining on her face.

Euphemia looked at all the assembled presents, noting the various shapes and sizes. She hoped she would get a chance to look at them when Elisa was opening them, she wasn't sure what sort of things people bought for presents, and she thought it would be useful to know for future reference.

Still, as Elisa went off to answer the door she found herself a little lost. Many of the other party-goers didn't seem all that familiar with each other, yet they all went and began to mingle just fine. She realised she really wasn't sure how to go about doing that.

She returned to the main room, found herself a space that let her see as much of the room as she could, and began listening in on everyone's conversations. She wanted to have a good grasp on what people talked about at parties before she tried herself.

Liliana was helping herself to something to drink, debating whether to try one of Evie's drinks that she had brought. As she was choosing, she heard a few new voices, grabbed something alcoholic and stepped out to see who had just arrived.

At the door was Jude, a darked haired guy with Elisa who she sort of recognised, a girl who was watching them with interest, and a cat, Tomo. Taking a tiny sip of her drink, Liliana waved at Jude in greeting, not sure whether he saw her or not, and then just wandered over to where Tomo was and nodded hello.
