Toga Party

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

Atop a long table in one corner of the bar sits a row of punch bowls containing ladles and various cocktails: from margarita to plain screwdriver. These are accompanied by several bowls of ice, some containing various bottles of beer. There are stacks of plastic glasses, paper plates, napkins, and a large pile of ivy wreaths at one end. The drinks are buffet-style at this party, so help yourself.

There are plates scattered over the residual tables in the area, some overflowing with huge bunches of grapes, others containing savory fare such as chicken legs, hunks of bread, olives, cheese or humus dips.

To try and give an impromptu impression of a Roman/Greco theme, the tables have been topped with white tablecloths and chairs and surfaces strewn with ivy. If there had been a way to fashion columns or import colonnades in twenty four hours, Indy would have tried it. But ivy will have to do on short notice. At least its not poisonous.

"Ah. Not a fan of th' hangover potion yerself, or just felt like ya'd earned th' oversized head an' queasy stomach?"

She smiles sheepishly. "It sounded sort of gross. After all that whiskey, I couldn't stand the thought of drinking anything new."

He nods. "Plus it's been, what, almost a year since th' last time ya did any serious drinkin'? Takes a while ta get back up ta yer old tolerance."

"I didn't have much tolerance to begin with," she mutters, with a smile.

"And yes, it'd been a very long time. I imagine it will be a long time before it happens again. Although my best friend's having her bachelor party in Vegas. I have no idea if I'll manage to abstain there or not."

He props his head in the hand that's not holding his drink and twists up his face in an exaggerated thinking expression.

"Hmm... bachelorette party... in Vegas... to abstain or not ta abstain...."

He looks over at her. "Probably not."

"That is the question," she grins. "But it'll be soon, so maybe I'll still be wary of the alcohol then."

[saint-aequitas.livejournal.com]

"Oh, aye, maybe.

Said in a tone of voice that sounds like it doesn't quite think so.
