I wouldn’t be anywhere else, Lailani. 

Thank you all for coming!

I am so touched and humbled that you would all come to spend this special day with Erik and I.  Some of you we haven’t seen in a year so I look forward to catching up with you all.  I’m sorry I couldn’t be here sooner to greet you, there is so much to do still.  It truly means the world to us that we have such great friends in all of you.

That is both creepy and awful. I’m glad you didn’t die from venom or an infection or anything. 

Roman!

What would your Tinder bio say?

Hopefully that it was taken down by admin. The same friends who lost the duck whist drunk made me a profile and refuse to give me the password. 

[albanyeloise]

Definitely do not go kiss everybody.

Apologies to Celia, John, and Roman

germanysdrsexy:

What? Wait. No I said stay mad at you. That doesn’t mean I was.. Listen I wasn’t mad. What do I care that you kiss someone. Go, just go kiss everyone!

You know… I get the feeling that that is not actually what you want me to do…

[albanyeloise]

I’ve been seeing some of the other dares, I don’t think we have anything to complain about.

Your dare is: Hold hands with the person beside you and you can’t let go for an hour. xoxo, the Burnbook

Thanks for being such a good sport Albany

“I thought it would be fun. A quick thing and then it’s over and there’s an easy laugh” He paused dropping his head slightly giving out a low chuckle, trying to hide the slight flush to his cheeks, he really hated to put Albany in this situation but the clock had already started. “Unfortunately not mine”  Listening to albany he tilted his head his smile growing. “I need to hear this duck story. Was it you or a friend?”   Gavin paused before looking down at their joined hands. Looking around, he faked a conspiracy look. Leaning close he said in a fake whisper “Can you keep a secret? I’m not supposed to tell anyone. I have to hold someone’s hand for an hour”

@albanyeloise

“They probably gave everyone not quick easy things?” Albany said, though, given some of the unusual antics she had seen so far (including her own brother stripping, not okay), maybe that wasn’t true. Whatever the dare was, Gavin was going slightly red, but he was smiling - and unfortunately wanted to know about the damn duck. “Oh... the duck, that was... a friend, I wouldn’t leave a duck in a mailbox. I did plenty of other stupid things, but not to a duck,” Albany said, shaking her head, “Basically, it was truth or dare, and people were a little drunk, and, wellll, we were at this private school next to this house with this obnxious duck. He’d wander onto campus and attack people. Chase people around, bite their ankles, that kind of thing. So this girl, Colleen, gets dared to go kidnap the angry duck. She was drunk, and she put him in a mailbox, like one of the big ones on the wall with the open top? So she wouldn’t forget him. I guess it made sense in her brain. And she forgot him there. We had to go free this poor duck at two am, and I swear that duck held a grudge.” Then again, the bitter old bird had had a good reason to hold a grudge a that point. She shrugged - sadly it was not an epic story. 

They were both conspicuously looking at their hands by this point, when he leaned in and explained that the dare was to hold hands with someone for an hour. “Ohhhhhhh,” Albany said, “That would explain the not quick bit. But, I mean... that’s not as bad as it could be? I was expecting you to start braying like a donkey or something at any moment.” The Burnbook seemed to like humiliating people. “I think we can manage an hour, so she doesn’t try to exact her revenge or something. I mean... I think she made my brother do a strip tease unless he’s just super waste... so maybe the intensity offsets the... time constraint?”

“I don’t know if I’m allowed to talk about it? There was a post today about doing things at the party?” Gavin tried to explain, fidgeting with his beer as he stood in place. Taking the dare had been a bad idea, but he had hoped that maybe it would be a chance to relax a little. He had been very mentally absent  for most of the conference. He didn’t expect for it to turn into this.  Gavins normal instinct  was to rub his neck, but since one hand held a beer, and the other held Albany’s hand he was stuck.  Gavin smiled, it was a little weak, but he was trying. Silver lining in everything right? He got to see a lovely woman again, and have an excuse to talk to her “How are you?”

@albanyeloise​

“You took the dare?” Albany said, “Oh, wow, yeah, that could get awkward.” Albany had opted not to, simply because she didn’t really feel like stripping down to her underwear and shimmying around like a possessed banshee or whatever the Burnbook thought was a good idea. 

“Hopefully people will have fun with it, though, I mean... truth or dare can be fun, when no one gets arrested or abandons a duck in a mailbox.” She may have been thinking of a specific person she had known in college. “It’ll be fine, I’m sure it’ll be fine.” She really needed to work on the whole being reassuring bit. He was smiling nervously, which was endearing enough even without the small talk. “I’m well, thank you.” She gave his hand a little shake, “So, uh, is this part of the dare, orrrrrr?”

Dare or Dare

Albany and Val needed to not be allowed to go costume shopping together. They had decided that being Cinderella and Cinderfella would be hilarious. And had promptly forgotten to inform Roman who Val was technically doing the team costume with. In spite of that gaff (and the fact that her dress was like a bus, thank you so much, whoever made the costume), she made it to the party reasonably on time, and had managed not to bowl anyone over. She hadn’t been there long when Gavin (who was dressed like Prince Charming?!?!?!?) approached, said hi and started talking about being busy with solar panels. “Well, I don’t understand how solar panels actually work, but I know they’re important, so that’s a good thing to be busy with.” Gavin’s phone buzzed, and, based on his expression, it was not a great text. He looked around, looking a bit distressed, before turning what could only be described as a puppy dog face on her. Gavin took her hand and promptly apologized, Albany looked down at his hand, “Umm, it’s okay?” Gavin half complimented her dress, but said that it would probably make things more awkward, “Okay, what’s going to be awkward, Gavin?” Other than, well, all of this, apparently?

Dare or Dare

The party started out well, Gavin had a beer in hand and was easily making his way around the room. Easy smiles and compliments on costumes all around. It was only when he spotted Albany that Gavin started walking with a purpose, trying to catch up to the beautiful woman in the blue dress. “Hey! I’m so sorry I haven’t been around. Work kept calling and we’ve been trying to work out this problem with some solar panels. But I’ve missed talking to you.”  Gavin paused as his phone buzzed in his pocket. Looking down at the notification he winced slightly. Looking around briefly and concluded that his only option was the woman in front of him. Gavin gave Albany his best apologetic puppy dog eyes  before reaching over and taking her hand into his own. “I am so sorry. “ he gave it a pause, shuffling his feet awkwardly “I was going to say you look really nice in that dress but I’m not sure if that would make this more awkward”  

@albanyeloise

[albanyeloise]

Yeah! I guess so! You’re definitely the most convincing Prince Charming I’ve ever seen.

IT IS A LOT POOFIER THAN THEY SAID IT WAS

That’s the smart thing to do, Day. She’s... not a very nice person.

The Game

I remember when everyone was ready to fight the burnbook, now you all are playing her game?

[albanyeloise]

tomic-val-ley:

Well I did, until I gave you all my secret.

Well, I’m sure that the people who repeat their shampoo are going to stop repeating it now. No more mystery for Val!

How do you keep your hair so silky smooth?

I’ll fill you in.  You know how on the shampoo bottle it has the directions.  Lather, Rinse, Repeat?  I don’t repeat!

[albanyeloise]

tomic-val-ley:

So?  You still take really good care of it.

Well, I try. My point was that you have wonderful natural hair, and everyone knows mine is bottle blonde. So you’ve got like this strange mystical mystery thing going with your hair. 

How do you keep your hair so silky smooth?

I’ll fill you in.  You know how on the shampoo bottle it has the directions.  Lather, Rinse, Repeat?  I don’t repeat!

[albanyeloise]

Yeah, I’m pretty sure the fact’s out of the bag that I just dye mine.

How do you keep your hair so silky smooth?

I’ll fill you in.  You know how on the shampoo bottle it has the directions.  Lather, Rinse, Repeat?  I don’t repeat!

I think your hair is also just 99% naturally amazing.
