The Party is Just Getting Started [Stryker-Alpha-Gamma]

Zeta looked back at Alpha with an almost amused smirk, a drink in one hand and hair greatly disheveled. Loud music reverberated through the Master's mansion, and it appeared that Zeta had it within his mind to throw a large party within the Chicago mansion while he was there. An unrequested party to be sure, though it was a little too late for him to just end the thing. People were randomly strewn about the mansion, drinking, partying and various other things. It should have been expected of Zeta but then again he did not quite prepare for it anyway. ”Wow, Travis you're back.” By the slur in their voice, he could tell Aaron was intoxicated, but then again he did not even need that to realize that. The alcohol sloshing around within the cup clenched in his right hand, as well as just a look within his eyes.

”Yes I am...” Travis sighed, adjusting his tie and turning to Chris who shook his head in an almost disappointed fashion. From typical company business to a wild party, this was not expected at all. All he had to do was look out the window to see people dancing along to the music, grinding along one another and acting more like hormonal teenagers than anything else. He wouldn't have been surprised if they were teenagers considering Zeta set the whole thing up, though college aged people were also likely. In the end it was a massive mess of hormones. Which likely would only lead to some things that he would have rather avoided. The door within the personal study would open, a short looking male walked through, looking up to Travis with a couple of blinks. What is Ryan doing here?””

He would then ask as the short male would walk silently past them and sit on one of the seats, pulling out a small mobile gaming system and playing around with it. He didn't really add to the conversation beyond that. ”Eeeeeey, you brought him along. I just sort of told him to stay in his room so he could play around with those gaming systems.” He explained with a shrug before taking a sip from his cup, followed by them wincing slightly. ”This could be the perfect time for you to relax, both of ya...well unless...nevermind.” he started, waggling his eyebrows before just letting that train of thought break off before shaking his head.

”Well...I might go enjoy some of the music. Apparently Colin is here, so I might find some social stimulation. Oliver is likely somewhere around here.” Chris noted While Travis seemed to silently agree.

”That sounds good. You'll be cleaning this up Aaron.” He then added before they stepped out into the hallway, taking note of what looked like two walking into one of the many guests room. Not that it mattered much to him. A few drunken people would stumble past Travis, who brushed them off while walking along with Chris who seemed to be more amiable with the whole business. It might have been that patient nature of his or maybe he was enjoying the radiant energy of the party. Stepping out onto the lawn, he took notice of a familiar face with their own drink in his hand, though nowhere as intoxicated.

”Nice party you got here.” Colin said in usual amicable fashion, wide grin on their face.

”Thank Aaron for that one, he's somewhere around here.” Travis noted looking down to the drink. ”Get me one of those would you?” He asked, and without even having to use mind control Colin would walk off and return with a drink. Travis took said drink and sipped at it. It was sweet, unlike anything that Zeta would have wanted. ”Thanks.” He said with a nod.

It was going to be a long night, and he wanted to have some fun with it.

Parties, they were overrated and pretty much just an excuse to get drunk to the point of blacking out and sleeping with some random person. As much as it was not Oliver's thing, he was here, in the Chicago mansion, leaning up against a wall just watching everything unfold. Everyone was acting a little stupid, though they would likely all blame that on the liquor later on. There had been studies done at parties like this, the guests were given beverages that were said to have alcohol in them but they really had none, and guess what? That's right, they still acted like animals. Whenever Oliver drank he was just calm, sometimes even tired. He couldn't imagine dancing around in that state without falling over and/or puking everywhere.

Lucius' kids were here, except for Isalia, who seemed to want to be with Lucius for a bit longer. The man didn't seem to mind, honestly they needed to know what all this was about and if anyone could teach them that it was Lucius. Oliver was glad she wasn't here though, she had that trickster mentality that would just make this party even more chaotic. Sure he loved Isalia, but she could be a little hard to deal with at times. Oliver had been putting the drinks away, and before he knew it he was pretty dizzy. Not his intention, but when he was under stress and there was booze near him, well he couldn't help but sub-consciously sip at it.

Eventually he saw Travis go have a talk with Aaron, then watched as him and Chris went outside to the lawn where another portion of the party was happening. Oliver followed, then approached the group which now included Colin. Great, was this guy everywhere? This would make things awkward but Oliver was to drunk to care. He was trying to hide it as best as he could, keeping his serious demeanor and such but it was clear something was off about him.

"Hey you guys.. As you can tell Aaron is at it again." Oliver said with a half-hearted smile. He then paused to take a drink of whatever it was in his hand, likely some mixture of coke and hard alcohol.

"So....i heard Lucas was going to perform, sing a song or something. He's up in one of the rooms, trying to shake off being nervous." Oliver said. It was true actually. Lucas had found a love in music recently, and had been wanting to play a little. He felt this was a prefect opportunity.

”Yeah, typical Aaron.” Travis agreed with a roll of his eyes and taking a gulp of the drink in hand. Honestly he had no idea what he was drinking but it would likely calm him down, considering the massive amount of people so close to them within the party. Despite what one may assume, Alpha was not really the type to enjoy overly large crowds, self preparation was always something he went through before going into something like this. Having his siblings around was enough to take the edge from this, but that more than anything explained why he was drinking as heavily as he was now; rather than taking the slow deliberate sips he would have taken.

”I'm surprised someone hasn't burned anything down yet, considering the state of the party.” Chris noted, sipping on a dark colored liquid that looked somewhat like coke through his clear cup. As for Lucas performing, well Alpha had been trying to keep track of his interests which veered into the musical portion of things. ”I heard that too, he's probably somewhere preparing for the whole singing thing.” Chris said before noticing a few irregularities within the hive mind, mostly something about a commotion within the bathroom or so someone walking  past it made note of. Not that it alone would have been a problem considering g the kind of party they were attending. It was the fact that there ”Well Travis, Oliver, I have a feeling there might be a party crasher.” Chris sent across the hive mind to the two, while softly sipping on his drink.

Almost as if following his words, another crash could be heard follow by a few people running from said source of noise. It appeared that even drunk people had the sense to avoid danger when it presented itself, or his nifty little psychic virus was just doing its work. It appeared that Zeta had thought far enough ahead to know that someone would want to crash hi little party, or someone would ed up doing that when the booze got ahold of them. ”Chris, you and Colin go somewhere else. I'll see whats going on here.” Colin would have likely said something but before he could he was being dragged away from the situation by Chris. It appeared that something was happening, and they were wrecking his mansion. In poor taste too likely, but then again Travis did not quite like pointless destruction.

All he had to do was find the dance floor to see what looked like a man charging the robotic looking form on the dance floor, dancing around as drunk as possible. Whoever the one charging them was, well they were either a metahuman or too drunk to care. ”Well Oliver, looks like we found our trouble guest.”

So everything seemed decent, nothing was burning down and the alcohol was numbing Oliver's annoyance of this whole thing. Crowds were not his thing, parties were not his thing, Aaron's crap was just not his thing. So he drank, it wasn't often he got to do that, so he was just trying to relieve some of the stress that had been piling up as of late. Oliver just quietly sipped at his red cup until a crash was heard, something was wrong, and it seemed Chris thought so too.

"I think you're right." Oliver said, throwing his cup aside and walking with Travis into the house. Chris had sent the crowd running, and had left with Colin. So it seemed the only ones left in the house were Aaron, Travis, Oliver, Lucas, Ryan, and these two trouble makers. Eventually they found them, and honestly the sight shocked Oliver. People and their powers and suits of armor, how could they see that as appropriate? Even drunk, that was a stretch.

"Looks that way. I need you two to get the hell out of our house, parties over. I don't want you causing anymore damage to our property then you have already." Oliver said, sounding a bit more rude then he usually would due to his level of intoxication. Whether the pair would listen or not, by the end of this they would be thrown out and a bill would be sent. Honestly at least one of these guys looked like he could cause some serious damage, and the other was either a metahuman or just really ballsy. Oliver made sure to touch Alpha on the shoulder on the way in, he didn't really want a missile to the head.

Lucas seemed to either have been connected to the hive mind when Chris alerted everyone, or he just heard the crash, because he came down stairs with a confused look upon his face. He looked to the two dudes that were about to brawl, then to Alpha and Oliver, then back to the pair of drunk assholes. This was going to be a big ass fight, wasn't it? Not only did he not get to do his damn performance, but there was going to be a fight.
