Anniversary Party - Open RP

[head_psychic]

Shawn has taken care of absolutely everything. There are flowers and drinks and different types of music. There is food and loads of pineapples. All that stuff that either shouldn't break or demands too much space is simply out of the way and it actually looks very different if you know what it looks like originally.

Still, the pin-ball machine is at the same spot and with all the furniture out of the way or rearranged it's a really comfy place. He has borrowed a couch from a neighbour, who, in return, is of course invited and built some kind of lounge.

Additionally, it is a nice day, which is why the place in front of the psych office is open to hang out as well, with some self service BBQ ("Dad, it's really nice you let me borrow the grill. Hey, why... don't you just stay here and make sure nothing burns down? And be nice to the guests!" - "Shawn! I won't... Shawn!!"), more drinks and the easy Californian warmth cheering up mournful spirits. That and the beach directly in front of you.

Playing idly with the ring on his finger Shawn takes one last look around, a satisfied grin on his face. His prior job as an event planner came in quite handy while setting all of this up. Not only has he still got all the contacts, it also made organizing a pretty easy job. It's all about knowing what you have to do. Then it's actually not work anymore.

(ooc: Open for as long people want to play. Bendy time is love!)

Jess ignores the bar utterly, and does a quick scan of the room. So far no sign of Gus, but it's pretty crowded. There's only so many places he can be however, and she's bound to bump into him sooner or later.

"Yeah, I'll get right on that." Meanwhile, there are a lot of other interesting looking people to meet. And the music is good for dancing too. She eyes some passerbys with speculation. "This actually isn't a half bad party, Shawn."

"It's pretty good, isn't it?" Shawn grins though of course he doesn't miss how her gaze wanders.

Of course he knows what she's looking for.

It irks him, to say the least.

"Do I need to ask for a grand tour? Or am I free to wander about on my own." Jess smirks. Either way, she'll be covering some more ground. Because right now Shawn's standing in her way. She absolutly dislikes being blocked out from what she wants.

Jess takes a step to the side, intent on getting around Shawn.

"Actually," Shawn announces in his slightly too loud, slightly too annoying tone he seems to have been simply born with and mirrors her step, blocking her from getting away, "I was going to offer your the grand tour myself. I am in a giving mood today."

"I'm sure you are." Jess drawls out. Okay, she can get this over with, Shawn's the host of this party really, and there's only so much time he can spend with her before his presence is needed elsewhere. "Lead on, oh pineapply one, is that where you get your inspiration for when you overdo it on the hair gel? Not a good look, I tell you."

"Follow me, then." Shawn fights the image of locking her into the closet because he knows that would end badly. Still...

"A person with a distaste for the sweetness of pineapple wouldn't understand about the personal relationship of a man and his hair gel anyway."

"Oh is it that kind of thing. Honestly, Shawn, I though you'd treat hair products with more respect than that. They happen to be your one true love and all."

Jess follows him, keeping an easy, if fake, smile plastered on her face. There's really no need for everyone to get the idea that she hates the host, fast way to get kicked out of a party really, and she just needs a little more time.

"Like I said, you have no idea," Shawn repeats with the same gleeful hostility. "But that's okay, small weaknesses just make you more appealing."
