Islington Nest Christmas Party, Dec 17 [Open to all Nest members and their guests]

[vampire_barbie_girl]

Caroline has worked hard to put together the evening's event, which is not only a Christmas party but also hopefully a chance for the Nest to celebrate its new leadership. The room at the Angelo has been decorated with a winter wonderland theme which, while not exactly original, is quite lovely.

A string quartet is playing a selection of Christmas and other classical music. Any attempts to feed on the musicians will result in the perpetrator getting thrown out the party, or worse. But feeding on any of the hired help or performers should be unnecessary, since several varieties of "blood punch" are available to drink. There is also food and other drinks available for non-vampire guests and anyone else who wishes to partake.

There is a strict black tie only dress code and Caroline will tell anyone who is under-dressed to go home and change.



[The event is happening on Dec 17th but I wanted to get it up early so everyone had time to do get involved if they so desired.]

Comments

[longterm]

Cesare is acutely aware that when Nancy says friends, he himself is not included in that group. He's not too perturbed though. It's expected. Their relationship hasn't always been the least strained.

"Tell me next time. I'll make you endure a real celebration. What did you do?" Takeout and a movie, he expects. Something small and...quaint.

"My birthday isn't really anything I wanted to celebrate this year," she tells him, with a slight bow of her head. "Unfortunately people have a way of finding things out. So I really just did a bunch of little things with different people. Caroline had a sleep-over, Eames took me to the theatre," Cooper brought her flowers and the jewelry she was wearing tonight.

But she knew better than to mention her boyfriend to Cesare. He was so bitter about it.

Gosh, if he'd wanted to date her, he should have asked her out first.

"I didn't know you liked the theatre," Cesare says with an eyebrow quirk and a smile. Although, truth be told, he doesn't really know much about what Nancy likes outside of the bedroom. He's not trying to be a bit of a rude ass. He's just being one by accident.

"How was it?"

Nancy gives him a small nod. "Yeah- I always wanted to be an actress, when I grew up." She admits the fact easily. Fagin always said she was a good actress, and she was proud of it.

"Fantastic! I had so much fun."
