if you hear any noise it ain't the boys [lady's night!]

A Nancy's actually just in a pair of jeans and a hoodie when she knocks on Lydia's door. She's got a bag filled with all sorts of necessities- makeup, a dress to wear out tonight, some killer heels. Oh, and of course, she's got booze. plenty of booze, because that's just what Lydia wanted. A pre-party. And even if Rhapsody in Red was pretty chill, who was she to say no to some drinks with a new friend before a night out?

"Lydia! Hey, love! How are you?" She coos, moving in for a hug when the door is answered. "I hope you don't mind, I figured I'd just get ready here. Cooper was in the shower." And as much as she loved a naked boyfriend, it was pretty distracting when you were trying to do your eyeliner and the mirror kept fogging up.

 Nancy had already sent a text to Caroline, to let her know the plan, and that she was supposed to join them after her shift for a few drinks. The message was passed along to Allison, as well. The more the merrier, Nancy figured, and all these lovely ladies should probably get to know one-another. They were young, pretty girls in a big city, and most of them were relatively new to London.

Upon arriving at the lounge, Nancy claimed them a table with a good view of the stage so they could watch Caroline, and straight-shot to the bar. Though she and Lydia had already had plenty to drink, and Nancy had her never-ending flask in her bag, she didn't know how far along anyone else would be. Plus, drinks. Just, drinks.

The last time Caroline had seen him had been that day she'd had that weird perfume on. Not surprisingly, it had gotten awkward fast.

Actually ... "Did I ever tell you about the cursed perfume that was randomly delivered to my apartment?"

Caroline laughs at Nancy's reaction. "Well, first off, you don't need to scold me about any of this because I swear I did know better than to just trust a random package. At least, I usually do." She knows that argument wouldn't convince Bonnie but with Nancy, she may have better luck. "So, this package just showed up on my door one day, back in uh ... November, I guess. And inside was this bottle of perfume that smelled really good, at least it did to me. So one night, when I felt like getting all dolled up, I put it one. And then had a bunch of really weird encounters."

"If I didn't know before then I certainly figured it out afterwards," Caroline said with a sigh. "Apparently it had some sort of affect on other uh ..." she glanced over around, before whispering the next word, "supernatural types." She paused, making sure they weren't being listened to, before continuing. "For people like me, it basically made them found me repulsive. And for everyone else, it was the exact opposite."

She shook her head, thinking back. "It was quite the night, especially before I figured out what was going on. Oh! You're going to laugh about this, but that night was actually the first time I met Cesare Borgia. Needless to say, it was quite an awkward encounter."

Caroline starts to laugh too, and it takes a few minutes before she's able to speak again. "Meeting Cesare was just so strange, until I guessed at what was the matter. It was like he was trying to hit on me but at the same time he was completely disgusted by my very presence. He actually said I smelled like a dog at one point!"

"I dated a wolf too but I still don't want to smell like one!"

She laughs some more. "I thought about it but I think at that point I still needed a bit more time to put it all behind me. It was pretty crazy when it first happened."

Caroline clinks Nancy's glass and takes a drink of her own. "Daryl was just ... the most awkward thing. I guess he was trying to hit on me, though I didn't realize it at first. We'd met before, when things with Harris went down, so I was just trying to be friendly. And then something happened and he just left."

Caroline hasn't quite clued into the fact that it was the age thing that freaked him out, since as a vampire, her conception of age is a bit different than most.

"No, I haven't seen him since the whole perfume debacle. That's very sweet of him to take her in though. Maybe I'll have to keep an eye out, go and say hi sometime." Maybe if she explains the whole perfume thing to him, they could get past the awkwardness.

Or maybe not. It had been pretty awkward.

A girl stuck as a squirrel. Sometimes it still amazes Caroline how strange her world has become - and how used to it all she is.

"Yeah, I could do that. Oh, but how late is the shop open?" Being restricted to nighttime hours really was annoying.

Caroline frowns. "Damn," she mutters softly. "Might have worked in winter but not now."

"Sure, will do," she says with a smile, before taking a large gulp of her drink. A change of subject is clearly in order, so she goes for something a little different. "So, I've been thinking of auditioning for some other singing gigs, just one time deals here and there, while still doing my regular nights here. I love this place but it would be nice to change things up a bit too."

"That's a good idea!" It shouldn't be hard to arrange, especially if she was the one to plan the next party. Sure, that would be self-serving, but Caroline could live with that.

"If you ever do that, I'll be happy to do more than just sing." At this point, probably the whole Nest knows how much Caroline likes to plan a party.
