slayer_fray | [Milliways: Suite 132 Suitewarming]

Lilly and Mel have out done themselves.

There's no theme to this party, no gimmicks, other than the 'welcome to our suite and please get very drunk' idea, and this aim has been faciliatated by the huge numbers of bottles of all sorts of alcohol covering the galley kitchen. The breakfast bar boasts five huge bowls of punch, the dining table is covered in assorted snacks and dips, and brightly coloured balloons cover the floor, and, despite the best efforts by a certain boyfriend to use helium for comedy voice purposes, the ceiling as well.

The door to the main bathroom stands open, and a large pile of freshly laundered towels stand on the way to the hot tub, above which a large sign declares: clothing optional.

Mel's bedroom door is shut and locked, protecting weaponry and other valuables, while Lilly's room is opened, and her Bathroom is very clearly labelled.

Out on the balcony, the barbeque takes pride of place among a vast amount of meat, just waiting to be made use of.

The centre of the living area is cleared, but a box of Twister has been placed very obviously on top of the locked entertainment centre.

"Yes."

He murmurs with half-closed eyes, and then takes another drink from his bottle.

Which isn't terribly good, in his opinion, but its straight whiskey so what do you expect?

"Thank you."

"No problem."

Really, Mel considers she got the best part of this deal. Scars aside, she got an attractive guy to blush and to take his shirt off. She basks in the warmth of the water and of the brandy and smiles.

He'd blush again if she called him attractive.

You try having a half-brother who quite literally has women throw themselves at him. Arithon has issues.

And the part of him that is ever and always a bard begins to sing; because Arithon is drunk and relaxed. And, yes, let us face it. The man couldn't sing poorly if someone was standing on his throat.

Mel's quite used to being the shorter and darker sibling to the blonde pretty one. She got over it.

She smiles at the song, and turns to look at him while he sings. Since coming to Milliways, ever since the Phantom first sung to her about betrayal and failure, she's been used to listening for menaing in every song she hears. And she does like Arithon's voice.

Meaning? Yeah, there's meaning. He's singing songs of good times and lots of alcohol, wild women and wilder men.

And when he notices that he's got an actual audience?

"Orgies make the world go round, the world go round, the world go round.
Orgies make the world go round, so let's all have an orgy.

At my orgy, there is going to be only two women... for every man!
Orgies make the world go round, so let's all have an orgy."

And it goes on for a while, getting more improbable with every chorus.

What? He's half naked in a pot of hot water with fully naked people.

Mel laughs as she catches the words, and sings along with the chorus.

She's not so drunk, but it is a very catchy song.

After a bit of that, who ever would have thought you'd get drunken hot tub bard neh?

"Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin with the lassies drinking gin
Far across the western ocean I must wander

Where is me bed, me noggin' noggin bed
It's all gone for beer and tobacco
Well I lent it to a whore and now the sheets are all tore
And the springs are looking out for better whether.

Where is me wench, me noggin' noggin' whence
She's all gone for beer and tobacco
Well her (clap) is all worn out and her (clap) is knocked about
And her (clap) is looking out for better whether."

Mel laughs loudly, clapping along with the claps in the last verse.

"Why do I think you didn't write these?" She asks between giggles.

"Because I, my dear flower, am not nearly prurient enough to do so. Nor experienced enough."

He says with a laugh,

"Good, old songs. Some from my world, some that Bar gave me."

"I like them," she admits. "They're fun."

"That they are, that they are. Easier to do amid company mixed than some of the other things I know to do, as well."

And if he finds the orgey song easy to do in mixed company...Well. Ask Faith about the other stuff.

Mel doesn't need to. Arithon already told her. She slides downs a little to soak her hair and pushes herself up again.

"Did I tell you about the time me'n Mikey got sucked down the drain to this thing?"

"Mmm? No. You did not."

He looks at the hot tub dubiously,

"What happened?"

Mel points at a big red knob on the other side of the tub.

"If anyone starts fiddlin' with that, get out fast."

He looks at it, and nods slowly,

"I shall remember that, yes."

A pause,

"What happened?"

"OK," Mel warms up as she starts to tell the story.

"First this light started flashing, and a huge siren sounded, then the middle of the tub began swirling around, fast and strong enough to catch both of us in the stream."

For a Slayer and a ninja, that's quite a feat.

He doesn't know about ninja, but he definitely looks impressed by the fact that it caught Mel.

Well, she was trying to dela with a panicked ex-turtle at the time.

"So then it washes us down the drain in the middle. I didn't even think it was wide enough for two people, but we were sucked down anyway. I just had enough time to grab a lungful of air to share between us.

"Turns out, this this washes into the lake."

He's just nodding, and looking at the hot tub he's in dubiously. Very dubiously.

"I see. I don't see. I am glad that I am not with the seeing of it."

She laughs.

"You're fine. The siren's enough warning, after all.

"Anyway, I ripped out the grill we hit at the end of the drain. So it's not like anyone can get caught up against it again."

He relaxes a bit, and then nods,

"Alright. I am quite glad of that...I can swim, but still. Not a pleasant way to end a party."

"No," she admits, shaking her head emphatically. "Definitely not."

He laughs again, soft but deep, and has another drink.

He's rapidly getting to the same state of cheerfully incapacitated as Mordred met him.
