The celebration was supposed to be short, sweet and just a greeting. However, with Ziggy and his friends and the family friends all being incredibly social things continued on. He and Mick and pulled out the equipment from the spare room. It was turning into a party by the time it was late afternoon.
As it attracted more people Tom ordered food to be delivered from the plaza, because they would need it, though the Anthean food was still there for the more adventurous. Jack also started a small bonfire in the portable fire pit in yard as it was getting toward evening and would cool to something colder than most humans might find comfortable. It would be good for there to be a place to warm up if the dancing or whatever else went on wasn't enough. Tommy had also finally come from where ever he had spent his time earlier in the day with his wife who, unlike Aletayria, hadn't adopted any human features at all. They were both simply observing from the edges since Etainia had not seen other species, and very few humans. This was a startling situation.
Cords run out front, Mick and Ziggy both with guitars, they were ready to jam with Soundwave. It was sure to attract other people since they were more or less starting a concert on the front lawn of the tiny house not too distant from the edge of the plaza.

Granted, a good part of that was hiding inside with Ziggy. The Anthean was like a cat sleeping in your lap when he was feeling clingy. You’re not going to be moving for a while. But the fog had lifted, and Ziggy was on stage letting the music move him. Everything was once again right with the world.
“Had to run home for something. But I’m back now and...” he couldn’t help but laugh harder as a rock snake started licking his hand. It tickled. “Oh boy, what is... is he yours?”

Jack was much of the angel's world along with his kids and no doubt he would be spending more time with the twins. Watching Onyx lick Minoru's fingers, he smiled at that and offered his dog a kiss on his fluffy head.
"Yes, he's mine. I've had him for over what? Nine months now. He's grown a lot and likes to eat shoes. Don't let him inside Ziggy's house, otherwise he might start chewing on his platforms. Perish the thought!"
Not only that but Ziggy had cats. Hadn't the angel seen a few out in the garden earlier and walking into the house? It was lucky Balthazar had trained Onyx not to chase everything with a tail. Onyx jumped up at Minoru and licked at his face since he was excited to meet a new friend! His large paws planted firmly on the young man's shoulders.
"Hey, now--Onyx, down! Minoru doesn't want doggy kisses now."

A test run was a good thing. Isamu was right, as always.
“You know, some of those crackers sound like a good idea. Are there any left?”

Balthazar moved over to the food table and grabbed another bowl of the salty Anthean snacks. Passing the bowl over to Minoru, the angel took a handful and began crunching on them.
"Mmm---these are good."

Only now did he realize his face was wet, and he wiped it with his sleeve.
“That didn’t even feel as gross as it usually...” he pulled the small bottle out of his pocket, looking over the label again. He’d only used one drop, just like Hermione instructed. “Okay, wow, this is stronger than I thought...”

Date: 2021-01-24 03:59 pm (UTC)Balthazar is totally teasing you, bro. Don't worry. He can be a complete dork when he wants to be and is wondering what exactly is in said potion. He downed most of his full glass of gin in one go with a pleased sigh. It burned since it was Tommy's stash no doubt. Good stuff.
"Are you feeling alright? Here, eat some more snacks, they might help."
The angel didn't want the young man feeling ill at the party, so getting him stoked up on Anthean snacks might help counteract the potion's strength. Moving over towards the drinks table, he pulled off a bottle of Beefeater gin and tipped almost half a bottle into his large glass before coming back over.
"They're salty and good but make your mouth a little dry."
Say the angel who's glugging gin like a fish.

And it technically WAS doing that. He wasn’t falling over himself, and the music was definitely still playing in the background. It sounded like music. It felt... well, like music?
“Not sure if I’m losing it in a different way, though...”
