Who: the Siren's Port Lonely Hearts Club! (and YOU!!!??)
When: Valentine's Day, from siren to siren.
Where: the Underground Mall
Summary: all the single ladies people, all the single people~
Warnings: Uhhh nothing I guess? Probably language?

[The lonely hearts that Mary called out in her post eventually wind up in some restaurant in the Mall, somewhere with a bar, but in all honestly it's a long night and they'll wander.

Tag in, tag around, enjoy!

For her own part, Mary will get a very panicked text message from Tom Hanniger someone early in the night, and take off into the Darkness with an air of distinct "oh SHIT" without any explanation at all. But she'll be around for a little while at the beginning.]

[athermercy]

Cheers for being single then?

[notadisneygirl]

Cheers to that. [She laughs, raising her glass and taking a sip.] Do you have any siblings?

[athermercy]

Sort of...

[Elaine says hesitantly, after lowering her goblet. The subject's touchy for her to remember.]

Cal, my half-brother. In a way.

[notadisneygirl]

Cal. That's a nice name. Is it short for anything?

[athermercy]

No, he's just Cal.

[She shrugs. Sandalphon couldn't have bothered with a name.]

Cal Belloc.

[notadisneygirl]

Cal Belloc. Nice. [Nods.] My sister... we called her Red. For her red hair, you know?

[She swallows, looking down in her glass.] No one remembers the siblings.

[athermercy]

[She nods, a little saddened about that fact.]

Red was forgotten? Cal -- Well, everyone paid more attention to me.

[notadisneygirl]

Yeah. I know that she's the younger sister, but she... [She shakes her head.] She was forgotten all the time. I never asked for it. I never wanted it. But I got so caught up in everything that even I forgot about her, at times.

[athermercy]

Do you want to change that? I mean -- She must have feel awful.

[notadisneygirl]

...I don't know. [She looks into her drink.] She's changed so much since when we were kids. But just because I forgot in the moment doesn't mean I forgot completely. But she's so... childish. She does all these things, and gets in trouble, and it makes me look bad. Because she's my sister, and I should have a handle on her, shouldn't I?

That sounds horrible. I sound horrible.

[athermercy]

She sounds like someone who is doing that to draw attention to herself.

[Elaine muses.]

So she wouldn't be forgotten again. I don't it sounds horrible. It's complicated -- Every family has its dysfunctional dynamics.

[notadisneygirl]

Some more then others. [Snow frowns into her glass, draining the martini glass with a sigh.]

[athermercy]

Oh, you have nooo idea.

[She'll toast to that.]

[notadisneygirl]

[Smiles.] Okay. No more being sad. No more.

[athermercy]

You can still vent about your family.

[notadisneygirl]

Most people get annoyed when someone constantly complains about their family.

[athermercy]

I'm not really like most people.

[notadisneygirl]

That's more then obvious. You seem pretty normal, though.

[athermercy]

I do, right?

[ She looks at herself. ]

You can say that's on purpose.

[notadisneygirl]

You could make yourself look however you want? [Snow asked, waving the bartender over and ordering another martini.]

[athermercy]

You do remember the Halloween party, right?

[notadisneygirl]

I do... guess that wasn't just a costume, huh.

[athermercy]

Well, in a way, it was.

[notadisneygirl]

It was a really nice costume.

[athermercy]

I thought so. Usually my style is very normal. I had to choose to be outlandish for Hallowe'en.
