We're gonna party like it's the end of the world! [Semi-closed]

[excellentviolet]

Who: All of Platinum Phoenix Enterprise (formerly known as Violet Systems) and their choice of guests.
When: December 21, 2012
Where: Platinum Phoenix's humble building in Sector 8, not far from Grant Stadium.
Summary: Lee throws a little thanksgiving party to his staff, allowing them to bring a guest of their choice. Things happen!
Warnings: Drunkenness? Intrigue? Shenanigans? People standing in corners??

((ooc: I've posted this tagged all the current employees I can remember for now. If you feel like I've missed you or if your character is no longer part of the company, just let me know :3 ))

While Violet Systems used to have its company parties in its posh SERO-owned building in Sector 2, the new home for the new company is but a simple office structure on the outskirts of the industrial sector, only two floors high and with a rather old-fashioned look to its fascade.

That doesn't stop Lee Chaolan from throwing a good party, though. It pretty much goes to show how much he won't pass up on throwing a celebration. And besides that, this serves as a kind of holiday party for his team. There's no gift-giving, but there's beer from a neutral microbrewery and champagne from a local neutral vineyard. True to his word, the CEO had gone all-out in his support for newcomer-owned and true neutral businesses. Who said that corporate responsibility ended when work was over?

With all the little details aside, Lee hoped his employees could have a good time and take the opportunity to mingle. This is especially true for his newest additions to the company: Claudio, Jade, and Aoko.

He raises his glass of champagne to the party gathered before him:

"A toast to Platinum Phoenix Enterprises and whatever lies before us!"

And with that, the party begins.

[Snake frowns, hugging himself a little with his good arm while Lee is away. He doesn't even notice he's done it until Lee returns with the wine and he automatically puts his hand out for it.]

[excellentviolet]

[It never ceases to amaze Lee how Snake could sense that he was back. He gently pushes the wine into the outstretched hand.]

Are you alright?

[He noticed the way he was holding himself as he was walking towards him.]

[Snake takes a long drink before replying to Lee.]

...You know, I quite like that young man you have employed. Tim, isn't he? Is he seeing anyone?

[It's such a petty thing to say, and in the back of his head Snake knows he's better than stooping to this. Yet, here his voice, sharp and cutting and hardly caring at all.]

[Lee feels just a little cross with this... but... they never were together in a sense. Yes, they were lovers, shared a bed together, and he does give him gifts quite often, but they never did have some kind of formal declaration of loyalty or love or anything of the sort. He takes a deep breath. His voice is calm. But there is a strain of tension audible there.]

Tim... none that I know of. But he does seem to be close with his guest, Christina.
