MAGICAL PARTY TIME

[alwaysimpure]

My life is terrible and a mess, so I'm giving a party tonight.

Alcohol, magic, drinking games enforced by magic, we'll party like it's Hogsmeade in 1976. Magic shop, soon as it's dark.

Be there or... Don't risk waking up a different colour than you're used to.


[Private to the Once-ler]

I really, really need to talk to you, mate. It's serious. No pun intended.


[Private to James]

I need a talk with as little judging and much perspective as possible.


[Private to Sheska]

I owe you... A lot. Can we meet?

Oookay... two questions then. First-- [He holds up one finger.] How do you kiss someone accidentally? And second-- [Another finger.] ... Why should you not have?

[alwaysimpure]

I was really drunk. And... Fuck, I was upset over Alisha just being gone, forever, and probably dying soon where she's from and there's nothing I could do. So I... I don't know, it just happened. I might have kissed anyone else in that moment, too.

And that kinda answers the other question, I guess. But also... I don't want to kiss Sheska. She's a friend. She's like a sister. She's not...

And I think she's dating Once-ler?

[braveatheart]

[Sirius.. you just make the best choices in life, don't you. James rubs a hand over his face.]

And have you.. you know.. talked about it since?

[alwaysimpure]

...with her? Are you crazy?!

[braveatheart]

Potentially. I haven't been tested yet. I take it that's a 'no', then.

[alwaysimpure]

Yes. I mean no. Whichever means that I haven't talked with her, that's it.

I just. I shouldn't have done it. You don't kiss friends just because you're desperate, sad, lonely and drunk. It's pathetic.

[braveatheart]

I don't know.. there are worse reasons to kiss people. [James come on that's not helping.]

What do you think she's going to think if you kiss her then just.. avoid her?

[alwaysimpure]

...there are worse reasons? [No, that's not helping.] Like what?

I don't avoid her! Just the topic.

[braveatheart]

Like.. I don't know.. kissing her just to be an arse towards someone else? 'Drunk and stupid' isn't the end of the world.

[Sirius please.]

[alwaysimpure]

You're right, I've done that.

But it's different, because I care about Sheska.

[Sirius and James and their past as unrepentant arseholes, apparently.]

[braveatheart]

[Very much so.]

Yeah, so.. doesn't she deserve better than you avoiding the issue?
