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!

[Quirking an eyebrow, he nods slowly at her questioning tone. He could have sworn they had met in New York, a home they both shared, but as he thinks about it he can't be sure. Maybe she had visited at some point.] New York. That's where I met Alec. [And yes, technically he's talking about the past, but he doubts that his friends are going to tattle on him.]

[Clary tries to remember if she's been to New York but nothing comes to mind. A frown touches her lips and her eyes are drawn back to the pink fizzing drink in her hand. She'd been hoping that she would have remembered something by now.]

Yeah, maybe. [She finally says, sounding unconvinced.] I moved he when i was very little so maybe before then? [She has an image in her mind, of her mother taking her to Magnus as a baby. That feels right.]

Anyway, if you throw another party, I will make sure to be there.

[For some reason, Magnus just can't let it go. More and more he's remembering things that don't fit with his life here, or any normal life for that matter. It's maddening, and he wants to figure it out more than anything because he can't shake the feeling that memories are important to him.]

Perhaps. I can't say I remember, but I thought we knew each other before. [Sweeping a hand through the air between them, he forces a smile.] Not that it matters. History or not, you're welcome at all of my parties as well as our home.

[babyhunter]

[Clary chews at her lower lip and then lifts her shoulders slightly.] Maybe. [She doesn't know and with conflicting memories, she isn't sure what she believes.]

Thanks. I'll look forward to more drinks. [Maybe some with alcohol.] I think I'll go mingle now. Thanks again. For this.

[She lifts the fizzy pink drink that's already been decently sipped at.]

Have a fun night, biscuit. [He gives her a gentle wave of his fingers, half goodbye and half encouraging her to go out into the fray. After a moment, he adds a wink.] Don't do anything I would do.

[babyhunter]

Got it.

[Clary laughs as she turns to head back into the party. She isn't the biggest partier but this is fun and she's happy that she came.]
