I. Rock Around The Clock Being that this party is for the opening of a music store, it makes sense that the main feature of the night is a dance floor! Music from throughout the 1950s will be playing, both in the store itself as well as the large loft above that has been converted into a miniature sockhop for everyone in attendence. Records and streamers hang from the ceilings and there is a lot of black, white, and pink to be seen. There's also a small stage in one corner set up for anyone brave enough to pick up one of the guitars that usually adorn the shop downstairs, as well as several microphone stands that are hooked up to a karaoke machine. Come in and dance the night away! Anyone wearing era-appropriate attire will random prizes. II. All Shook Up Being that this is a Magnus party, there is a wide range of cocktails to sample being made at the open bar. Most of them are were what was popular at the time—Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, the classic Gin & Tonic—but requests for specialty drinks are being taken as well. There are also, in true 50s style, milkshakes that are creamy enough to tempt even those who would usually try to resist. But there's a twist: they're alcoholic. None will be served to minors, but it's totally possible that the adults won't realized their delicious treats are spiked until after they've had their second (or third) glass. Also, though the upper loft is well-lit for dancing, the first-floor store has plenty of dark corners for making bad decisions. So grab your honey, grab a drink, and enjoy the night together. III. Tutti Frutti Half of the upper loft is dedicated to refreshments as well as boasting furniture looks like it was ripped from a diner—you guessed it, chrome with red vinyl upholstery. A table along one wall is ladden with miniature versions of popular diner food—cheeseburgers, hot dogs, even tuna melts—as well as french fries and plenty of other finger food. And, because this is the 1950s, there's jello. Lots of jello. So much jello that it's insane, how can anyone love jello this much? Luckily, if you don't go ape over gelatine-based desserts, there are also record-shaped cookies and non-alcoholic milkshakes for the kiddies. Seeing as this is a small town with families, and thus minors, there are plenty of drink options for those who aren't yet old enough to drink or who prefer not to. IV. La Bamba No invite is necessary, IC or OOC, for anyone who'd like to jump in and join the party! It's safe to assume that flyers have been up around town to announce the time and place. Hopefully, with enough people in attendance throughout the night, there's plenty of chances to make friends (or maybe enemies). Feel free to choose your own adventure, and don't worry about boundaries—if it doesn't break the game, it won't break this party post! But be aware that your hosts, one of whom is a warlock and the other a demon hunter, won't stand for any altercations inside the store. Instead, maybe take it outside if the mood or your ex-girlfriend strike you. If you'd like to assume that you're helping run the party—bartending, music playing, etc—go nuts and have fun!

Well, if it'll change my life....who am I to say no! [The retort comes with an easy grin, noting the look on the other woman's face and tilting her head as Caroline--the name jumps to her mind--and realizing that the stylish blonde is right. She knows her, remembers her, too.]

I don't care how many times memories hit me...it's still startling. [Iz reassures, still smiling, though it is a little bit jarred too.] I remember you too....Caroline, right? I seem to remember things in bits and pieces since my accident.

[This one is different, though. She remembers the blonde at one of the many, many monthly activities, and not only that, but she remembers the blonde and racks of clothing. A shop. Izzy is trying not to make a huge deal out of it, for the moment, though.]

So, what kind of liquor is in the milkshake, do you know?

[coy]

My brain is a bit foggy since my own accident, [ she says, towing the company line for now. They're undoubtedly being monitored, after all. This was a big party, she wasn't going to slip up now.]

I have no idea what kind of alcohol though. Probably some kahula or something.

[withstyle]

At least I'm in good company, then. [She offers, a smile pulling at her lips and avoiding speaking any more of the past. It really is easier said than done, okay? So, so, easy to slip up!

Bobbing her head in a nod, though, Izzy can imagine that liquor being good in ice cream.] That makes sense. [Izzy goes for one of her own and lifts it up.]

I'm trusting your taste here, Care, so cheers! [The nickname comes unbidden and just...seems right. So, she figures it might belong to the woman that she didn't remember until stopping to talk to her. It really is strange how that works. Pushing that thought off Izzy takes a sip and her red lips form into a wide grin.] Okay, when you're right you're totally right! This is almost too good.

[coy]

See? Told you, [ she says with a smug expression, arms crossing over her chest.] It's like crack or something.

[withstyle]

When you're right, you're right! [She can't help the burst of laughter that escapes at the comparison.] I mean, I'll take this form of crack over the real thing, anyway. [Izzy teases with a plaful wink, taking another sip of the alcohol-filled milkshake; these could definitely be dangerous for someone that wasn't prepared.

Good thing Izzy is at the moment. She is having a good time, though. In some ways the memories coming back at odd times has just become a part of her life; she hopes that eventually the'll have them all back, but for now she seems to be handling it relatively well...like most others.] These could be dangerous. [Izzy jokes]

By the way, I love your outfit. [Izzy gestures, carefully with her milkshake. She can't quite help her love for clothes....and she seesm to remember that Caroline feels the same, plus, her outfit alone is evidence of that.] The detail on the cardigan is perfect for the theme and the colors are really good on you.
