Hot Potato (party log)

Who: Chloe Frazer & any and all party people!!
What: Harvest Celebrations/Halloween Party/Ruby’s Birthday/Rat Marriage/Big Communal Cooking Party so Chloe doesn't burn down her house
When: October 12
Where: At Chloe’s house on Greene Street

Content Warnings: Food descriptions, probably.
Other Notes: Feel free to make this a mingle and reply to other characters!

Chloe had wondered whether to go through with the harvest party once Lalo had disappeared, but as they say, the show must go on. There's still a lot worth celebrating, and people need something hopeful after the mess last month. Luckily her house had made it through everything all right.

The poster had said to wear a costume, so she's hoping to see a lot of those, and she’d recruited some people to help her put together the menu exactly to Lalo’s specifications, so unfortunately no one is safe from British Potatoes. There are even candles for the birthday cake.

Chloe herself is dressed as a sexy lumberjack, with one of Lalo’s old flannels tied in a knot under her breasts and denim cutoffs made from the jeans Kostya had gotten blood on (shh). She's got a fire roaring, because otherwise she’d freeze.

He's free to make whatever assumption he wants. Levi doesn't find any of them offensive, and it's basically the truth anyways, though if someone explained it to him he'd probably say he's not anything. There had been times when he'd felt a spark of something for a select few, but with the neverending fighting for survival or for humanity, he has never been in a position to do anything about it.

He makes a vague noise of agreement. "Probably ought to start with that, yeah," he confirms. "Looks like it worked out for you, though. Here."

He still doesn't say congratulations, but he does shove a gift at Billy's chest -- a nice linen bag of dried herbal "tea" he's scavenged from the local plants during the warmer months, after careful reading of flora identification books from the library. It tastes quite close to black tea, in his opinion, though obviously the decency bar is much lower here.

".. thank you," Billy slowly says, after having the gift shoved against him and moving to take it from the other. It is actually quite a nice gift, given that Billy does love drinking tea - look, he is English! He's very English! - and that it can be rare to find some of the nicer stuff in a place like this, considering their limited supply.

But even if the gift hadn't been nice, he still would have reacted the same way, really. Kind of surprised. Half-dazed. Like he isn't entirely sure how to deal with it, especially when going beyond the regular police niceties of just saying 'thank you.'

"Miss Frazer would have let you come here even without a gift, I'm sure." He seems to settle on after a moment, like he's figuring Levi probably brought this with him out of obligation. Why else would anyone do that, right. Unless they knew that Chloe had a wild side and will not hesitate to kick people out of the party.

Perhaps they should organize a tea afternoon at some point. Tea and British Potatoes for everyone. That would probably be an even bigger hit than this party!

"Maybe," Levi agrees with a slight shrug. "But it's not every day that you get hitched. Shit, I always thought gifts are half the reason people do it."

"Cornelius was the one who proposed to me first."

.. maybe proposed is a big word. More like just thrust a stolen ring in Billy's direction, half-intended as a bribe.

But some people's love language is just weird. Including Hickey and Billy's.

"Perhaps you should ask him if he is just in it for the gifts." It doesn't sound like that's exactly an upsetting idea to Billy - he sounds pretty calm about it, as per the usual.

Levi quirks an eyebrow at first, unsure whether that's supposed to make the proposal fake or something.

"It's none of my business," he answers simply, then considers for a moment.

"And wedding gifts say nothing about why he's in it." He means, of course, the relationship. Whether or not a marriage ceremony has other reasons, marriage isn't usually the reason two people get together in the first place. It's supposed to be encouraging, but who knows if Billy will pick up on that intended message.
