Finn grins as Agrippa approaches and raises his glass in a casual salute. "Agrippa!" he says in greeting. "I've got what I need right here, thank you! Looks like it's going to be a heck of a party. Congrats to you and yours! How's your night going?"

Fire was feeling all kinds of femme tonight, which was an odd feeling. Normally, she'd want to wear some kind of punk inspired dress and leather jacket or something like that. Instead, she wanted to wear an actual dress. An actual dress. Fancy, glittery, and, of course, black. She didn't really own many colors. Why would she, genuinely? Black goes with everything. Maybe part of it was being on the arm of such a gorgeous Spring, but... what? Does she have something to prove? Maybe she feels that way a little bit. She's got on one of her more favored wigs. It is sleek and shiny, but without the sheen that immediately reads as 'wig', and it was the perfect kind of red. Her make-up was simple, but elegant with a winged eye and a subtle red lip. Around her wrist were two bracelets, Yellow and Black, a red one in her pocket if she began to feel overwhelmed for whatever reason. It's a Spring party. You never know what others consider to be flirting at this kind of event. Still, she felt good. This was going to be a good night, a wild night, and a thousand times better than how Imbolc ended. Riley was glowing and Dani had been so enamored that it took her a moment to realize that they were holding their hand out to her to exit their ride. Oh my god. How did I even get here? Dani wears this ridiculous grin as she takes Riley's hand, "Yes, please." It felt weird being in a point of attention entering with Riley. The brilliant way they glowed, bringing all of the attention to them gave her a little ping of anxiety at first. She shook it off though. This is Spring's night and she was determined that she was going to keep her confidence and wits about her, regardless of what the night throws at her. Then a little secondary pit of anxiety. Riley's entrance also meant hungry eyes. Nope. No jealousy. Not playing that game tonight brain. At least she hoped it wouldn't. Taking her mind off of that, it decided to drift somewhere else. She wondered where Rowan might be hanging around. She assumed he came. Right? No, no clinging. Slow friendship. Slow. ...she already missed being around him though, in an effort to give some space. C'mon brain. Gimme a break. The night's barely begun. She lets out a slow breath and then smiles at her incredible date, "So, where to first? There a thing before the thing gets roaring?"

"Ah, splendid! Both to your state of affairs and mine! Admittedly I've been a tad busy helping to keep this whole thing running to get a proper taste of it myself, but I haven't seen a disappointed face yet, and that's all I need to have a good time! Its at least a third of the reason I'm here, after all."Agrippa reflected Finn's smile back at him, but twice-fold as strong. Despite the claims of having been too busy to party, the unicorn looked like they were having the time of their life "And thank you! So far everything has gone off swimmingly, and if everyone else is of a similar persuasion to you, I think that ball of a party is well on its way to picking up steam! Though speaking of getting a taste of things, what is it that you have there?"Both mischief and delighted interest fluttered at the edge of the question. The hand that had earlier gestured about the venue was brought up once more to point vaguely towards Finn's glass.

Once the Eulogy was over, Riley’s attention moved to the party at large. The Bright One waved across the gathered crowd at Archie, beaming him a big smile and wink. Before looking to Fire, taking a moment to just take her in before answering her question.
“I am up for anything, we could grab a drink, or find some folks?”
The sound of “This is Halloween” from Nightmare before Christmas erupted from Dani’s phone causing Riley to glance over and raise an eyebrow. Riley knew this was going to be out of Fire’s comfort zone, the Ifirit was anxious at the best of times, let alone being the center of attention. Being on your phone was a way to handle that sort of anxiety for some. But as the chimes continued the Moth couldn't help but feel like that something was wrong, or maybe they were doing something wrong.
“Texting your other date huh?” Riley says, nudging Dani’s side playfully.

Fire sighs a little bit as she looks down at her phone, eventually moving it to a fierce buzz so that she'd feel it, but not need to hear it. Her eyes widen at Riley's comment, "What? Oh! No. Just- Just Rowan being Rowan." She gives a faint smile. It isn't entirely clear if she is overly bothered or not. Sometimes with the Summer it is up in the air how she really feels.
"He is just mentioning that he wants us to keep an eye on Ivory..." Drugs, huh? Does Riley know what he is talking about with that? Wait. No. With Tanner. He'd said he had a friend who overdosed. Oh... Maybe? Could be misreading.
She takes a moment to look around before she spots her at the bar, "Ooo and we can get some drinks." When she looks back, she takes a moment to just appreciate Riley's glow. Her eyes might not have been obvious before, but the look she gives them is filled with both longing and total adoration.
"May I escort my gorgeous partner for drinks?" She holds out her hand to Riley, batting her lashes a little at them.

Spring had sprung, the grass is riz, she's wearing a red bracelet so mind your biznizz. It wasn't that Kai didn't enjoy Spring parties. Most people did. She'd picked a dress in theme, all floral and flowy and nice. However, the fact that condoms were being tossed around right out the gate really set a mood. Most people would get the consent message. She hoped all would, otherwise Spring's party was going to become an exercise in target practice. Trust the baby Springs to make their event on the nose. She realized, perhaps, that her disposition this day was on the ornery side. Philicia's address only made the reds deeper and angrier, with flecks of brown flowing through the wave. Did she seriously believe everything she was saying? What was the motive for this? They were a couple of fuckin' thugs, peddling drugs to innocents. It was enough to bring plenty of recent memories to the fore. Infiltrations in the Freehold. Crooks drawing weapons on investigators. Drugs flowing that ruined lives. The Court of Desire did plenty of good, but every time horseshit occurred where she had to risk her life, it always seemed to involve the recklessness and hubris of Spring. Something they did. Something they didn't do. Something where they thought their wants were more important than other people's needs. Thank God they weren't all like that. Her bag of condoms and lube and the importance of consent represented something better. Looking at the lolly, she sighed, tore off the wrapper, and popped it in her mouth. Cherry. Could be worse.

Ah Rowan.The Bright One wasn't going to allow him to dampen Fire or Their night. That much was certain. “Ah, well then” Riley smiled “Not as fun as another date “ They stuck out their tongue. At that point Fire mentioned Rowan wanted them to check in on Ivory. Riley’s face didn't react to the news. Ivory had confided in them about what happened, but it was not Riley’s place to speak on it. The pale dragon had made no mention that Rowan knew about the events, a curious twist. It seemed the two were closer than Riley had credited them. “Monitor Ivory? I am certain she is able to make her own choices, but saying hello would be nice. I think she would...be happy to see us”
If only to allow the Pale dragon to bask in the success of her advice for the pair. Suddenly Riley phone vibrated, and they spared a glance for a moment before looking up to Fire. “Rowan” they say with a smile, tapping a response than putting the phone away “Ah’rite, a drink sounds wonderful. Escort away” The bright one said with an almost glowing smile.

It seems work followed him to the party. Yes indeed, he heard that little eulogy to the Spring lilies that had been oh-so-recently plucked. Everybody's a critic...even the Queen.
But Oren wasn't going to let their painted on grief mess with his fun. He, of course, didn't go all out. This was a Spring event after all. Why waste the best on a party that wasn't yours. That's just simply bad form. A simple grey suit with a pop of colour left room for other accessories that really put the whole thing together. This was Ostara, after all. How could he not be adorned with rings and crystal? That was like going to a football without a jersey...or a beer gut! He wore Green, White, and Pink for this event. Consent, wrapped around his wrist? How quaint. Where were the noisemakers?! You know, the ones that you blow and it rolls out like a dragon's tongue? Now, that is a party favour. Finn seemed occupied with the personification of glitter. He'll save his slap on the back for later. Firebringer was lacing her fingers with Riley. Cute! Kai. Sweet Kai. She saw it too, didn't she? Oren cozied up by her, all smiles. But he wouldn't say anything until he knew for sure. That was a lie, he had to say something. "Some party!"

With the power of luck and Archie's generosity on their side, Linden rolled up to Ostara with a well-fitted suit and a date. They even matched, both in a disarming shade of peach that was a broad departure from the Ogre's usual dark pallet. A nod to Spring, and enough layers of clothing to feel like a solid shield. They respected the wards these events maintained, but the more of them they attended the less secure they felt in the moment. The bracelets had taken a moment of consideration- red beckoned, but in the end they landed on Yellow. If someone wanted to flirt? Joke was on them. A White band slotted on beside it, the pair an odd juxtaposition to the plated metal wrist beneath. A peek into the goodybags elicited a laugh, but they didn't need anything within. "Thanks for being up for this," Linden said to Alecto , trying very hard not to put their hands in their pockets. "I think we look very cute in peach." With a teasing, and maybe a touch nervous, grin, they held out their arm for her to take or not. "Would you like a drink? There's moss on those tables."

The older gentleman sat alone at a table looking out onto the dance floor, a BLACK wristband clearly displayed on his left wrist. He’d managed to enter amongst a crowd and secured a table all to himself early in the evening. He exchanged a few words with anyone who came up to him but no one stuck around. Despite being in a finely tailored suit complete with a verdant bow tie and vest he was out of season, in more ways than one. He swirled a glass of amber liquid and watched the frivolities, a wistful look on his face. This is the youngsters' night and a young man he was not. Nod solemnly to the Queen's speech and give some well wishes to a select few Spring courtiers then make your exit. Except something in his chest tugs at him and his eyes return to the dancers. Ah, to be young again.

As Kai heard the speech and considered the woods, her angry reds and browns faded to yellow, then green, then a pensive teal. She glanced at Solomon briefly, curious about something, but there was nothing to find. Oren had come to join her, and she smiled at the Mirrorskin. Some of the tension radiating off her had diffused. "Hey, Oren." She glanced at his wrists and grinned. Of course the kid was down to party. "You should sing, man. This party needs some Pharell. Look around. We're up all night for good fun."Given the number of folks running around, at least some of them were up all night to get lucky. Good for them. Spring wasn't just a season of Desire for its adherents. It was a reminder of their common need, their collective humanity. She had to remember not to look at that as a downside. "Keeping out of trouble...? Or getting into the right kind?"

"It's always the right kind. Be careful what you wish for, it's ABBA all the way down."
He would simply blow Kai a kiss in good faith and farewell. There would always be time for them. If he had his way, Oren would be the only Dancing Queen in the establishment. With no sign of swan feathers or saccharine acquiescence, the only competition he could conceive of was Riley, of all people. They just knew how to liven a room. But as the Spring dalliances spread their wings and made merry, Oren's eyes were drawn away from what was familiar. He became fixated on what stood out. The Man Wound In Black would not give him the kind of fun his body may have wanted, but his very presence entreated a different kind of desire: curiosity. So the Mirror walked, carefully, between people until he found himself in the midst of one Ian Black. "Is this seat, taken?"

The young man's words broke Ian from his reverie. Well, this was unexpected. "Please do." Ian motions to an empty chair at his table. "I believe it is bad luck to rebuff a member of the upcoming seasons."
He looks the man over trying to decide what Oren's game was before dismissing his overly skeptical thoughts. "I daresay you're the youngest person who has come up to me today." Ian leans forward and holds out a hand. "Ian. Ian Black. A pleasure to meet you."
