Since you’re partially at fault for the party, you’re going to make sure it runs smoothly like if you were the host, and by that you mean cooking for everyone to not relying solely on Nina’s goodwill. After giving one ice cream to everyone, you approach Nina to let her know what you intend your role to be. She is relieved that she isn’t going to carry the whole burden of the party, even though she was more than willing to since this celebration was everyone’s reward for the feat you accomplished!
You spend a good chunk of time inside the kitchen preparing drinks, snacks, and the like with Nina and Bradford Junior. The cat didn’t do much but you raise morale with his cuteness. Same as the many felines around. You both were in and out, delivering the smoothest party experience as waitresses in anything but name. Of course, there were chunks where one of you stayed with the group and had a little chat, but those were few and far in between. The bad karaoke echoes through the apartment complex…
The guys are so high in spirits that anything they do becomes the most intense activity ever. All the board games become a spectacle with the rowdiest of crowds. Easy to do when you have 5 Lord Gargoyles hyping things up. Scarlet would be proud to see such intensity in these kinds of games. Right now they’re losing their minds playing Jenga.
You’re having a break with Nina in the kitchen, explaining what happened today from your side, so she doesn’t have any lingering doubts. With good timing, Billy shows up after you’re done explaining, here to properly report back to the Madam of Eccentric Hair, not after thanking you both for saving his skin – something no other group he has been part of has done. He doesn’t count Ka-Shing paying his bail from prison, because that’s throwing money at a problem.
Since he’s here to open up about his traumatic experience, you ask him if he eavesdropped on any conversations and picked up information from them. Like, surely Carmella must’ve slipped up during a drunken rant, or Linda talked too loudly on the phone for him to pick up the cues. Billy grins, admitting he was waiting for someone to ask.
“Certainly there’s a lot to talk, baby.” ‘Perfect’ Billy gets to say his piece. “You said about Diamond Eyes going on drunken rants, but it seems I caught the last one. Alcohol doesn’t make her head spin like the asteroids around Jupiter.”
“You mean she doesn’t get drunk?” Nina sounds both confused and upset that this didn’t happen earlier.
“You nailed it with a hammer, baby! She beat alcoholism in a way no legend could.” Billy looks fondly at all the great musicians that have fallen to the vice. “But what she told me about during her rant? Well, that’s between the moon and I.”
“Mr. Buonanotte, you have to be truthful to us.” Nina wants to know.
