Alice heard about the New Years party and it brought back memories of similar events on the Jacksonville base. They weren't that grand but soldiers being people were generally happy to drink and improvise. This was going to be a grander affair and she'd go on her own; then see what happened. By the time she'd gotten out of work and back to the hotel she felt a little brain tired but this wasn't going to put her off.
So after getting ready she picked out a halterneck cocktail dress in black. Slipping on some heels she picked out a clutch handbag and stored her personal phone in it. It also had the app that would let her know if there was anything emergency related coming through on her work phone. Having mentally ticked through a list in her head she smiled and felt ready to leave. So entering she seen Adam for starters but started with a drink of champagne. She'd just see what would happen and let chance take its course.

It was almost mandatory that as a member of OSE that if any kind of celebration was going on that he showed up in case any of the oddities got out of hand and he did not mind it as he made his way into the party just to see what was going on. He had a decent year and he hoped that this new one would work out just as well.

Avery did not like parties but if any kind of celebration was to happen on the island then as part of the infamous Ashford family she did have to show up and do her part. She was going to duck in and out as soon as she could and hopefully no one would cause a scene though at the moment she did not know if she believed that. However she was trying to look towards the new year with a little more positivity.

He usually brought the new year in at home but this seemed okay and any chance to be able to meet with new people was an occasion he liked as he made his way in, and was going to give himself a chance to be able to mingle.

Alice sipped her glass again after zoning out for a few seconds. By now she could spy more people and her eye got drawn to a face that might just be familar; in the same way you'd miss them if they weren't there. He worked in the inn and she lived here! So making her way over she gave him a little cheerful looking smile. She was certainly single; also trying to mingle as long as her confidence held. It was also the only way she'd get to know other people. "Good evening" she cheerfully posed "I think I've seen you around before". She might be wrong but she got this mental image of him handling luggage. There was no such thing as a menial job or task; every job in this society mattered. Clark Brown

Marina considered herself a woman of the people as long as she did not have to actually interact with the people. The thoughts of someone coming along and claiming to be a new them and doing it while drunk did irritate her skin but she was here to make an appearance either way.

Lara did not get out much but a party was something that she was willing to get into as she made her way in excited to see just what this whole new year's bash held.

He usually kept to himself as he heard the young lady talking to him. "It's possible," he said. "Also good evening," he added in order to keep the conversation flowing. "I'm Clark, it's nice to meet you." He would never keep someone from talking to him. "How are you enjoying yourself so far tonight?" Alice Seraphim

Now Alice also had a name to work with as the man introduced himself as Clark. So she she with a smile did likewise. "Hello Clark, I'm Alice. Its hard to say so far as the party has only started" she cheerfully replied. "Do you want to get a drink before they all go?" she also added. They wouldn't all be hoovered up right now but the longer you left it the less choice you'd have. "Hopefully by the time its over we can welcome the new year in and hope for a better 2023". Alice also figured that life would also be better if the OSE fleets would leave them alone but they were likely to be off shore for a long time yet. Clark Brown

He normally did not drink because most the time when he did things got awkard, like the one time he had brought flying pumpkins but he supposed it was also a nice time to celebrate. "Sure Alice, I guess one could do with loosening up and having a drink, what's your favorite kind?" He was doing well as far as conversation went for him. "I find I like a little champagne and sometimes maybe a hard apple liquor but everything in moderation of course." Alice Seraphim

Alice pondered the question that Clark posed. She was more used to beer but she'd drink what she was able to get. Wine was an occasional choice but she'd be happy with a strong coffee if that looked like the best option. "Usually beer; if wine or champagne is available I'll go for that" she mused. "You're right about moderation; overdoing anything is a bad idea". "I remember seeing you round the hotel. You do an important job Clark". Alice did notice things other people missed but she wasn't always tuned in to make the most of this skill. Thoughts of Adam crossed her mind but tonight was about getting to know people. Clark Brown
