Should Oldbag Acquaintence Be Forgot

[bewrightback]

Who: The Ace Attorney cast, any of their CR, and maybe gate-crashers?! Curious neighbors and other passersby won't be turned away.
When: January 1st
Where: The Wright apartment.
What: It's never too late for a new years party, except when it is.
Rating/Warning: Nothing out there just yet

[A new years party had been in the works for a while now. But the incidents with the Santa attacks plus time suddenly skipping ahead to January 1st had caught everyone off-guard. But Phoenix was convinced to go ahead with the party anyway. It's one way to help keep spirits high after what had happened the night before.

Invitations were dispersed amongst the group of people from their world (except for a certain elderly murderer, sorry Von Karma) and the friends they've made in Cerealia (and everyone is open to invite other people as well). Everything's happening at Phoenix and Trucy's apartment, which has some simple New Years banners set up alongside some surviving Christmas decorations. The Christmas tree is still up too, just in case... but all of the decorations and ornaments featuring Santa and his reindeer have already been destroyed.

Entertainment includes a karaoke machine which plays music normally when people aren't using it, and an assortment of food is set up, with people being free to have brought their own dishes and snacks. There is some alcohol there too, including the customary champagne, but likely the local adults will be trying to keep things down to small champagne samples; Phoenix prefers to respect his original world's drinking age, after all.

And, as they near midnight, the intention is to try to countdown to January 2nd as if it's the new year countdown!]

[Larry visits the refreshments setup for two reasons. One, to try some of that lovely-looking wassail. But more importantly two, to meet the also lovely-looking woman who set the drinks out. He doesn't know who she is at all, but he guesses she must be someone Phoenix knows from the future. He's been meeting a lot of future people lately, so he figures it's a good guess.

He practically slides into view beside Integra, holding a sketchbook under the crook of his arm and reaching for a glass to fill with drink.]

Hey! Uh, I'm Larry. You having fun so far?

[He's totally nailing this what are you talking about.]

[fairbrook]

[Oh--! People! Living, breathing beings you would expect to engage with at an event like this. Integra doesn't seem terribly enthused by Larry's company, but she's not about to push him away just yet. The poor man hasn't the opportunity to even do anything.]

Not especially.

[When you're in a room full of people who are virtual strangers to you, you wouldn't be having fun either. She ladled a cup of wassail for herself at this. When you can't smoke, you can at least drink... right?]

Sir Hellsing.

[failures]

Ahh- nice to meet you...?

[Sir Hellsing? Larry's not sure what to think of that- he doesn't see a lot of women calling themselves Sir.

Though maybe he should be more concerned about her first response, because that's the extremely important part for him. A lady not having fun at a party? Clearly he has to try to rectify that!]

You're not having fun? Haaave yooou... [Wow, he's really stalling for ideas here.] Tried karaoke? That's been pretty fun so far. Or maybe I could draw you something?

[Yes Larry, because watching someone draw is so much more fun.]
