( open ) there ain't no party like a mafia party

[safesex]

⌛ Who: Those Thai mafia guys, adjacent CR, and anyone who just wants to crash a good time
⌛ What: Celebrating an elopement, Tay's survival of all that chaos in the Western Kingdom, and other things
⌛ When: Early November
⌛ Where: J. Random Bar or two or three
⌛ Warnings: will be added in threads as needed

Tay said drinks were on him when all that madness in the Western Kingdom was over. Vegas wasn't about to forget that. There was a lot to celebrate, after all! Vegas and Pete eloped, Tay survived, they were all reunited, they had some solid plans for the future. They may not be able to find a club in the way Tay would like, but if the night turned into a bar crawl, would any of them complain? Wherever they landed, Vegas was sure to be buying the most expensive drinks on the menu since he's not paying.

The place had music -- nothing like they're used to, but at least it had music. Which would make for an interesting night as the longer they're out and the more champagne Vegas drinks, the more likely he is to try to drag the others into dancing (especially Pete). It may not be what they're used to, but they can still have a good time, right?

It doesn't occur to him right away that Vegas is purposefully drinking champagne because of the price. Tay simply thinks it sounds good and so he orders it too!

Tonight, Tay is dressed in a pretty white lacy top and black pants that have been properly altered thanks to Gaura for his tail. The white gold jewelry he's wearing is all new with a little diamond stud and delicate chain in his black cat ear.

While he's a bit disappointed they couldn't come up with a dance club, the drinks, company, and fun makes him forget about it. It takes no effort for Vegas to convince him to get up and dance- maybe even drag someone along with him!

[Later]

By the time they're at their second or third bar, Tay is happily drunk and dancing with his friends and total strangers alike.

[safesex]

By the second or third bar, Vegas wasn't ordering the most expensive drink on the menu for him and Pete. Wasn't he merciful? It was the least he could do to thank Tay for helping him get ready (and look nice for Pete). He noticed Tay was without a drink in hand and came sauntering over to press another glass of champagne into his hand.

[letyourheartfly]

Vegas was merciful! In this case, he's being merciful and Tay doesn't even notice. He might tomorrow when he isn't quite as broke as he thought he was though!

"Aren't you a sweetheart!" Tay chirps happily when his friend seems to materialize out of nowhere with a gift drink. Without thinking or warning, he hooks his arm around Vegas' shoulders and presses a quick (and obviously drunk) kiss on his cheek. "Where's Pete? We should tell him what a sweetheart you are!"

[unleashedpet]

It felt so good to party like this again. It reminded him so much of the good times back in their world. Going out with friends and dancing and drinking and just having a good time in general. Pete loved it. It made him feel so free and light and just happy. Knowing that his friends were safe, that he was married to Vegas... Somehow it was all perfect.

So he came over to Tay with a smile on his face, taking note of the ears and tail. But he wasn't here to make fun of them. Quite the opposite honestly.

"You know, those new features of yours really suit you."

[letyourheartfly]

This was the best! He is so glad everyone in their group is well enough to come party and drink with them. Finally, he doesn't have to be so on guard like when he's out by himself!

When Pete comes up and compliments him, Tay somehow brightens even further. "You think so?" He asks, glancing down at his tail. It was still something to get used to, but it was growing on him. He poses playfully. "A bit like a furry's wet dream, don't you think?"

Around the second bar, Kinn chooses to keep his post closer to Tay. The man had been drinking and knowing his friend, an extra eye wasn't bad to have on him.

He still nursed his drink, the only one he would have at this bar, just as he only had one drink at the first one.

[letyourheartfly]

It feels incredible to be out dancing, having fun, and not having anything to be worried about. After the chaos recently and finally having his protective friends around him, Tay is letting himself enjoy this fully.

However, one thing- one person- was missing! Stepping away from the stranger he'd been dancing with, he walks over and holds his hand out to Kinn. "Okay, that's enough! It's time to get your ass up and dance!"

Vegas had had one request about his outfit. So that was the one request that Pete had made sure to fulfill for this party. An outfit that would have a very low collar to allow for the diamond encrusted choker to show for all to see. To accomplish that he'd worn a yukata that was very loose in order to allow a good portion of his neck and chest to show. And on the ring finger of his left hand was his ring. People would easily notice that he choker matched the bracelet Vegas worse and the ring complimented the one on Vegas' hand. They belonged to each other and wanted the world to be aware of that fact.

Pete was more than happy to dance to whatever music was there and to consume far too much alcohol in the process. But it was a party and he should be having fun, right? Especially when he was one of the reasons that they were having the party! Sure he wasn't used to all the attention but a little bit couldn't hurt!

Just don't mind that Vegas was constantly near him. Or on top of him. Or with hands in his clothes. It was right where Pete wanted him to be. But one could still manage to catch him alone sometimes if they wanted a private chat!

[safesex]

And per his promise to Pete (with a little help from Tay), Vegas trotted around in dark trousers and a sleeveless top to show off the diamond cuff around his left wrist. That and Pete's choker were a set, just like them, not to be separated. Tay also helped him with his hair and makeup because he wanted to look nice for their first official outing as a married couple.

And yes, he was basically attached to Pete wherever they went. It started simply, an arm around his waist or shoulders. But as the night and the alcohol progressed, Vegas got much more handsy. His hands made their way to Pete's ass while they danced and Vegas shamelessly shoved them in the opening of Pete's yukata. Kisses? Stolen. More than that, he found himself nibbling on Pete's ear and the side of his throat, completely without care that they were still in public.

[unleashedpet]

He'd been so surprised by the efforts that Vegas had gone to for him in order to look good but he'd easily gotten used to it. Even loved it. Smiling, he leaned against his husband later in the night, well aware that those hands had been massaging his ass for the past hour now. He'd just finished another drink and was tilting his head to enjoy the nibbling he was getting.

"This is fun," he commented with a big of a giggle as he turned around in Vegas' arms so he could press a kiss to his lips. Wrapping his arms around his neck, he grinned up at him, eyes clearing saying he was pretty drunk by now.

"You look really hot," he noted for about the millionth time that night.

Henry happened to find a moment when Pete was extricated from Vegas to approach him. He was at the bar getting sweet drinks for himself and Gaura when caught Pete there, too. Henry smiled over at him.

"Let me get those for you," he offered. It was the least he could do since he didn't know the couple well enough to get them any sort of gift. "And congratulations on your marriage!"

[unleashedpet]

"Thanks! It happened so suddenly or I would have invited you." What? He liked the guy enough to invite him to the wedding that had really just been an elopement. He totally would have done it! Instead he was just happy to see him here at the party after the fact.

"Are you having fun? There's been so much going on it's hard to keep up with everyone."

Gaura had been confused at first when Tay had sent Henry on ahead without them. But he'd soon found out why when the man had done his hair, makeup, and jewelry as well as put him in an outfit that wasn't his typical style but well tailored to him for a change. He'd needed to do some quick tailoring for some wings that had just appeared but that hadn't been too much trouble. He truly had no idea what he looked like but Tay had reassured him repeatedly that Henry wouldn't be able to keep his hands off of him. Whether that was true or not (though he knew the wings would certainly be a surprise to Henry), he was at the party now and had a drink in his hand that he was nursing with a smile on his face.

He'd never been invited to parties before his place. Now he'd been to a couple of them. It was a lot of fun and even though he was wall flowering at the moment he was honestly truly enjoying himself. It was nice to see everyone having so much fun together. He couldn't help how warm it made his heart feel as he saw them all dancing and talking together. Sure it was challenging to tell who was who but that simply didn't matter right now.

He was happy.

[inthewood]

Henry always thought Gaura was gorgeous but tonight he simply shined! For his part, Henry was dressed in his usual style, this time a dark brown suit with the orange dahlia he always wore in his lapel. He was so happy to see Gaura and practically flew to his fiance's side.

"You have wings!" He was surprised, delighted, and so curious about them!

[pinkblinded]

Spotting the fox features and that dahlia, he knew right away this was his fiance. Smiling so warmly, he reached for one of his hands to take. A soft giggle left him as he nodded his head.

"I do. They're the real reason why we're a little late. I had to tailor the clothes to make room for them. Do you like them?" He was fond of them himself because they were a sign of his relationships. But more than that they were in his favorite color.

Riley was now family for the mafia so of course he was invited. And he definitely came. With a big smile on his face as he chatted with everyone. He was dressed stylish but casual with just his jewelry to add some sparkle and spice to the outfit. Still, he looked great and he knew it, confidently being the ray of sunshine that he was with his blue fish scales around his hairline and his mermaid ears.

One thing that was important to note was that, despite the fact that they were at a bar, Riley was not allowed alcohol. No matter who it was there was apparently a rule that had been spread around before his arrival that he was not to have a drop of it. So instead he was handed sodas and juice all night. Something that made him happy anyway since they were sweet.

He was nursing another soda and humming to the song that was playing. Someone had given him candy and he was gladly snacking on that as he bounced to the music. But whoever came over to him was sure to get a smile and a wave from him. Because, yes, he was just as bubbly and sweet even when he was sober.

[safesex]

Oh yes, Vegas made it explicit to the bartenders wherever the party happened to go that the blond in blue was not to have a drop of alcohol. Soda, juice, even virgin drinks would be fine. But that's it. No booze. Partly because he didn't want to worry about Riley, but also because he didn't want to deal with Baiyi again if he could avoid it.

Vegas smiled and nodded from across the room, sauntering over in time with whatever music was playing. It certainly wasn't what he was used to, but it was upbeat enough to get people moving.

"Good to see you, cousin. Having fun?"

[hideawayparadise]

"Yeah! And congratulations!"

After sobering up he'd quickly realized that he'd befriended the guy he'd told Kinn that he was going to avoid due to him being dangerous. Well, it was too late for that, right? Riley was now friends with Vegas and they'd decided they were family. So time to live with the consequences!

And honestly the consequences were pretty great. He'd had so many sweet drinks and Vegas clearly had his back by making sure he didn't get alcohol. Riley could get behind that!

"I'm sad I missed the wedding!"

[50000baht]

"Riley! How are you?" He made it a point to greet his little brother, offering him a fruit juice in the process. "Glad you could make it."

[hideawayparadise]

Seeing the juice he was being offered, his face lit up and he accepted the glass. Taking a sip, he did a happy wiggle at the sweetness that coated his tongue before smiling at Kinn. "I'm good! Sorry about Baiyi, by the way. He's just really protective of me. I tried explaining that you guys are safe though. And that he can be protective of me but I still get to do my own thing."

Kinn chose some old-timey gangster frock with sleeves rolled up, shirt half open but he forwent the cap tonight. His jewelry was gold and understated, oddly enough. A pocket watch with the line just peeking out in a lazy loop, a gold chain for his neck, and stud earrings. His muscles were barely contained in that shirt as he watched the floor, content to be in one corner and nursing a second shochu on the rocks, he wondered if this was how his security detail always felt.

Of course, whether or not he seemed approachable remained to be seen. He wasn't really going out of his way to schmooze, instead letting Vegas and Pete have the stage light, as it was their right, after all.

[pinkblinded]

Needing a break from all he socializing, Gaura had gone off to the side. He was unaware that he'd seen this man at the party but in a very different outfit. So he just offered a smile as he sat near him, nursing a drink in his hand as he watched the people around them. At least Tay was easier for him to spot now, something he was grateful for and it made him smile to see him dancing with what had to be the man's friends.

"Do you know the people we're celebrating?" he finally asked, looking over at the man that he was near.

Incoming dance-napping from Pete and Vegas!

[unleashedpet]

It had been Pete's idea but Vegas was all for it. Likely it was all the alcohol in their systems but they were tired of seeing Kinn cling to the walls of every place they went. So it had been decided that Kinn should dance. Specifically with them. And clearly the best way to do that was to go right over to him with grins on their faces.

"No more wall time. This is a fun song," Pete declared as he grabbed hold of one arm, waiting for Vegas to snag the other so they could drag him to the dance floor.

Wall flowering

In some of his modern clothes, Cheng casually hangs around in the background, sipping whatever everyone else was drinking. Fizzy and alcoholic, his hair is in a single long braid thrown over his shoulder so he wouldn't worry about it too much. It's an interesting wedding celebration, he has to admit. None of the traditional celebrations he's attended back home were ever like this.

[safesex]

Well, in their defense, Vegas and Pete didn't really have a traditional lifestyle. This sort of party with just friends and family bar-hopping suited them. Spying Wanyin, Vegas shimmied his way over in time to the music and leaned up against the wall beside him.

"Are you planning on having any fun while you're here?"
