(OTA! Happy holidays! If you know Fin, Willy, Phouka, or Winter, feel free to assume they gave you an invite. If not, you can say your pup got an invite through a friend of a friend, someone who knows someone, ect. It IS invite over (no gate crashing pups please, Fin's a giver and would want everyone to feel included), but the pups hosting the party are pretty active and I believe they know almost everyone in the game. And the people they don't know surely know people who do. Even if you only met them once, you got an invite somehow! This gathering post is open all week, and beyond!)

"Everyone is," Anael answered honestly. His Love certainly did not end with men.

[just_hex]

"Good to meet you, too," he grinned. "Have a nice night, mate. I'm sure I'll see you round."

[willysilver]

"Seems we have quite a bit in common...but I do not think you and I are like the rest of our kind. Am I correct?" Will said. It seemed to him Anael was not cut from the same cloth as the angels of the cautionary tales of his youth.

[offthebeatenpath]

"Champagne's good." It was what Dutch was drinking, and it was a party. Christmas spirit and all that. Em just wasn't going to think about a pilfered bottle shared on a rooftop.

[sunsongs]

"Water's easy. All you have to do is go with the flow." Not that Coby didn't have his fiery moments. "But I get not everybody's got that in them." He offered his hand. "Coby Ward."

Victoria didn't care about the free drinks offered in exchange for donations to the food bank, but she had put together a large box of non-perishable foods all the same. While Ivan checked their coats and took the food to the collection area, Victoria entered the gallery, looking for any she'd need or want to say hello to this evening.

"Dr. Lecter," she said, a gracious smile for the man. "It's been too long." Her nod to the casual dress code was eschewing the monochromatic looks she usually chose in favor of soft reds and green, and comfortable boots she could dance in all night if she wanted.

[sunsongs]

Coby had only met Fin once, although he'd liked the guy a lot, and enjoyed talking with him. So he'd been kind of surprised getting an invite, but that hadn't stopped him from coming, or from wearing a funny sweater.

"This is some party, dude," Coby said, grinning, when he got to the bar the same time as Fin.

[sunsongs]

The party reminded Coby of some of the ones he'd gone to back in LA, either as a guest or as part of the musical entertainment, and one thing he'd picked up real quick - you always took advantage of the free buffet. His plate was loaded down as he looked for a place to sit.

"You mind?" he asked, gesturing toward an empty seat with the hand holding his beer.

Victoria and Ivan were leaving the next day for Virgin Gorda, revisiting the site where they'd met and first fallen in love. Most of the time they spent together - not involving work type activities - was spent in warm and sunny climes, which made going out together here in London all the more special, she decided. If the new head of Six had a problem with a former double 0 being escorted to a party by one of the, now defunct, KGB's stars, she was more than willing to explain the Cold War was over in a very double 0 way.

She wouldn't have dreamt of wearing one of those sweaters people seemed to enjoy inflicting on each other these days, but she'd left her usual monochrome looks behind for a top and skirt in shades of red and burgundy, with a moss-green cashmere cardigan. The color in her cheeks when she stepped off the dance floor wasn't from exertion, but the joy of dancing with Ivan and the sweet talk and devotion she'd hardly admit to enjoying as much as she did. He'd be completely incorrigible if she encouraged him even once. She watched him as he went to the bar to get them drinks, and laughed softly at herself. To think 004 had had a reputation as an ice queen throughout her career.

"Definitely," Jag agreed, putting the cigarette out in an ashtray on his way back inside.

[whispersoflove]

"I've known few Fae," Anael answered with a small smile, a slight joke about being unable to verify one half of the equation, "but most of my brethren do think me quite odd, yes." To put it nicely.

[hardertohide]

"Two glasses of champagne, please," Dutch ordered, then finished hers and pulled out a tenner.

[dr_spencer_reid]

Spencer blushed slightly, then shrugged. "Maybe," he agreed with a small and awkward smile.

[winter_wisp]

"We can stay up all night waiting for him, " the pixie grinned.

[jageskro]

"Go on," Jag shook his head to indicate that he did not. He appreciated the amount of food piled up on the bloke's plate, too, and smiled a little before digging back into his own plate.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"You could have showed up in anything and still have looked amazing," Fin assured her.

[quartermaster_q]

"The cars I ride in have been improved upon by me and my team. Far less frightening than air travel," Q shrugged.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"Coby! I'm so pleased you came. You look well," he added, thinking back on the last time they'd crossed paths.

[phouka]

"I am certain I can think of all sorts of ways to keep you awake as we wait," Phouka replied.

[willysilver]

"My family thinks the same of me, though odd may be the kindest word," Will laughed.

Sabine would've been wishing for her camera, Em decided, watching Sunny dance. The sharp contrast of light and dark, combined with the obvious joy and easy grace in dancing would have fit right in with some of Sabine photographic studies. Em, on the other hand, would've gone for lines and curves in black ink on white paper, capturing more essence than realism.

Sipping at a glass of champagne, she pulled away from her mental sketchbook as Sunny left the dance floor. "Does this mean I'm not the only one skipping mass tonight?"

[offthebeatenpath]

"Thanks," Em said once they had their drinks. "Time to check out the buffet?"

[sunsongs]

"Thanks for inviting me. My mom acted all worried I'd be alone for the holidays," not likely to happen now, even after the party, "But I think that was more her missing me and wanting me home than an actual concern." It didn't occur to him right then Fin might have seen him during his episode.

[sunsongs]

Coby took a seat, nodding his thanks. After a few bites of food that was better than you got at some of these catered deals, he looked at the guy again. "They went all out with this, huh?"

[just_hex]

"Yeah. Yeah...want to come over to mine and we can watch on the telly?" he asked.
