~decides that dancing is great fun...from a safe distance ~

*swept across the floor, and feeling fine *
I'm sure Coely won't mind It is your birthday, after all, and I quite like dancing
*accidentally knocks over the drink SPINY gave him, and watches in horror as the liquid melts through the table top*

Whoa! Glenlivet and champagne did that? Good thing you didn't drink it. Coely would want you to have a nice time, Babel.

(Hot diggety dog is the full expression. In today's parlance it would translate to Woo-hoo!)

"Hey Mar? I'm just gonna' head on over to the Pub...it's getting crowded in here & I can't tell wich of these rougues keeps pinching my bottom! Meet me over there when your party...check that...IF your party winds down! Love You!!!" ~Pan

*Wishes some of these nice men would dance with the other girls here.*

Ok, Pandora, but which Pub????!!

* The music ends*
Thank you, Babel, that was lovely! Have some more champagne!


*She consults her fan, then looks around for Spiny.*

*bows graciously to his dance partner, and accepts champagne*
I presume Pan meant the Crossed Purposes, which is a shame as I would have liked to dance with her too.
If anybody wants to dance, i shall be standing over by the bar
(just assume I am dancing with whoever, as I will be offline for the next 8 days, sorry would much rather be dancing )

*flutter of wings*

*Kasia heard Babel-17 last remark and heads straight to hte bar*

Well, if we want see you thet long online - shall we dance, Babel?

*Hopefully glaze...*

*Decides to sit for a bit while she waits for Spiny. Takes a piece of cake and just a splash more of champagne.*

(thinks) Kasia will certainly be light on her feet when she dances since she has those beautiful wings!

*Wakes up in a corner, covered in champagne corks and cake crumbs*

Yawn! Where's the coffee Mari-Rae?

Well, thanks a lot, Mari-Rae.

Gwennie, here is your coffee, as Mar-Rae seems to be quite busy ATM.

I'm busy resting my feet waiting for Spiny to dance with me. Also, I am wondering why Kheldar is sitting there not saying anything. Kasia, I love your wings!

*Pours another splash of champagne for herself.*

*Sips her coffee and brushes away some more cake crumbs*

I expect Kheldar's not really there, but is a figment of our imagination...

Hmmm. Why don't you go over there and sit on his lap to find out? If its just a figmaent and not really Kheldar, then you'll just be sitting on the chair. It'll be an experiment.

*Pours a tiny bit more of the champagne for herself.*

What sort of girl do you think I am? I wouldn't take advantage of a young chap like that? Oh, okay then!

*Wanders over and plonks herself on Kheldar's lap and falls to the floor whilst Kheldar sits, unmoved, glass in hand with an inane grin on his face*

See? He must be a hologram or a figment of our imagination, just like I said! Now where's the coffee? Lead me to it, please...

Hey sunshine, maybe you would like trying sitting *on* my lap, instead of *next* to it

Birthday girl! So sorry to keep you waiting!

*Extends hand to Mari-Rae. They step out onto the dance floor. The band starts into a tango*

Uh oh. I was afraid of that. Just a second...

*rushes to edge of dance floor and grabs single rose from vase on table*

For you, my dear! Now let's see which one of us has more Latin blood...

*pales suddenly as he remembers he might be up for six display dances in a row*

Gosh! Kheldar! There's two of you now!

*Rubs her eyes and the two Kheldars merge into one*

Ohhhhhh! That champagne must be stronger than I thought!

*Bounds over to Kheldar, leaps onto his lap and grins broadly. Kheldar's face starts to turn a funny colour as the circulation in his legs is instantly cut off*

*Gives Spiny a sultry, smoldering look as she bites a petal from the rose. He clasps her tightly and they begin to tango.*


(music)
Ba-da-dum-da-da-da Ba-da-dum-dum
Ba-da-dum-da-da-da Ba-da-dum-dum...

Oh dear, i seem to be making rather a habit of turning up late at the moment

*sheepishly* Happy Birthday Mari-Rae

*Spiny rolls her up tightly against him, then flings her outward. She wraps an arm around Linus and gives him a hug and kiss. *

Thank you! Have some cake and champagne!

*Spiny reels her back in and they tango on!*
