WHAT in person
WHERE Heavenly Grounds
WHEN 75!!

[So how do you feel about getting into the holiday spirit? Because with all that wine around from the Bingo victories someone's put a sign up outside Heavenly Grounds today advertising a ~holiday party~ There's festive decorations with mulled wine, hot toddies, spiked egg nog. You name it, it's there to get you plastered.

And I guess there's cookies and fruit cake and stuff too, but who needs food when there's drinking?]

[starspangledman]

It's a little bit adaptation too.

[thatsoundsfakebutokay]

Adaptation...?

[starspangledman]

Getting used to a new time, new place.

[thatsoundsfakebutokay]

I guess you do have some practice with that.

[starspangledman]

Yeah. This won't be my first time.

[thatsoundsfakebutokay]

Is it even the weirdest time?

[starspangledman]

Still up for debate, but I think it might not be the easiest.

[thatsoundsfakebutokay]

...sorry. I guess this isn't exactly party talk.

[starspangledman]

[shakes his head, pursing his lips]

Sorry, no. I'm not really making a good impression, am I?

[thatsoundsfakebutokay]

You're not making a bad impression.

[starspangledman]

Well—thanks, for that.

[gestures a little, the wine is clearly hitting him]

[thatsoundsfakebutokay]

[sips her own wine]

It's just a little strange to meet you in the first place. Which isn't your fault.

[starspangledman]

What's strange about it?

[thatsoundsfakebutokay]

Well... having known Tony and Loki for awhile... [not quite sure how to finish this sentence honestly]

[starspangledman]

... I'm guessing you hadn't heard good things about me.

[not accusatory, just a statement of fact]

[thatsoundsfakebutokay]

I've really only heard very general things about you.

[starspangledman]

Fair enough.

[thatsoundsfakebutokay]

But I'm aware there's history, even if I don't know the specifics. And here you are, after all this time.

[starspangledman]

Yeah, it's not all good history. But some of it's gotten better, at least.

[thatsoundsfakebutokay]

Oh, yeah?

[starspangledman]

Last time I saw him before I came here, he'd just found out my best friend was the one who killed his parents. And I kept it from him.

[drinks more]

[thatsoundsfakebutokay]

[well, that's clearly news to Scully]

Jesus, Steve.

[starspangledman]

You see why I'd assume he hadn't been saying good things about me.

[thatsoundsfakebutokay]

It's not like he's particularly open about his past in general.

...all he really told me was that you used to be teammates.

[starspangledman]

See? Some of it's gotten better.
