What: Much belated New Years Party At Lyra's

Sometimes it was good to be the host, and Lyra was making the most of it. The party was in full swing by six rolled around and she had the door open for ponies and dragons and whatever to show up. Hostilities were left at the door as she presented everypony with food and drink. She was also greeting everypony at the door and waving as music boomed from a record player in the corner of the room.

"Party all night Ponyville, have fun and remember to drink responsibly!"

Fluttershy flinched slightly as the door was open. Given that she and Cruelly were invited for booze, she's a little nervous. They HAD to drink some, but hopefully Nightmare Whisper wouldn't be repeated again.

"H- Hello. Thank you for inviting us." Fluttershy said as she was invited in.

[humanesqueheartstrings]

"Hey no problem! Thanks for coming you two. I'll make sure you have fun and not over indulge, okay?" Ushering Fluttershy in, she wrapped a hoof around the shy pegasus with a wide grin. "Feel free to grab anything you like to eat too. You want to eat and put something in your stomach before you drink. It softens the blow."

1/2

Fluttershy felt a little awkward and a tiny bit more nervous as Lyra wrapped a hoof around her. She shuffles her hoof a tiny bit and goes to say something, but suddenly Fluttercruel takes control. "Do you have any hamburgers?"

2/2

[shy_kindness]

Fluttershy instantly takes control again and lets out a small gasp. "Fluttercruel...!"

What? She implied we can have what we wanted.

With a mental sigh, Fluttershy turns back to Lyra. "I'm so sorry for that, Lyra..."

"Hey it's okay. And actually... come to think about it I think I do have some in the freezer. I had a griffon visit a few months ago, the details weren't important but I have some leftover meat."

"If it's okay with the rest of the guests, I'll fire up the stove," added Lyra helpfully.

[shy_kindness]

Fluttershy begins shuffling her hoof again. "Um, pardon me, but... I really don't want this body to have any meat... I just... don't.

...I- If it's okay with you, we'll stick to everything else..."

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Lyra smiled, patting Fluttershy on the shoulder. "Hey, I gotcha. C'mon, lets get you some cookies and a daisy sandwich to start out, okay?"

In hindsight, it was probably a good idea that Lyra had left her front door open, because that left Vinyl without the option of booting it off of the hinges. Instead, she had to settle for being only slightly louder than usual, striding in wearing an enormous, cheesy grin and a slightly undersized t-shirt reading "Sorry, Did I Break Your Concentration?".

"Ayo! No need to worry, ladies, the party has arrived!" She glanced around the room, head already bobbing to the beat of the music. "Man, s'been awhile since I've been around here. Lovin' what you guys did with the place."

[humanesqueheartstrings]

"Vinyl! Right on time as per the ol' timing." Lyra trotted up and held up her hoof to give her a hoof-bump. And in the other she levitated the other unicorn a bottle since she knew Vinyl wanted to get the drinks going as soon as possible.

[hangthedj]

Either Vinyl was really transparent or Lyra just knew her that well, because that was exactly what she wanted. She took a hearty swig from the bottle, wiping her moth off with a foreleg and reciprocating the hoofbump. "That's me. Ol' reliable, right here." she said with as much playful sarcasm as she could muster. "So who else did you invite? Wanna know exactly what kinda funny business we're gettin' into here."

[humanesqueheartstrings]

"Alastor, Twiley, Dante, Fluttershy, Kreutz, pretty much everypony. Its up to them to show up to this though." admitted Lyra as she took her own bottle and took a swig. "But I promised Twiley I'd teach her how to drink and I'm sticking to that, so I can't get sloshed yet. Sides, Bon Bon'll frag me alive if I let anypony break the china."

[hangthedj]

"Okay, I know, like half of those people, so we're off to a good start already!" Vinyl set her drink down for a moment and began to comb slowly and deliberately through Lyra's record collection. "And I promise, Pinkie Promise, I will not break anything important this time. Scout's honor."

[humanesqueheartstrings]

"You were never a scout, but Pinkie Promise I can deal with," laughed Lyra. "All right, sounds good. Put on anything you like."

The last time Alastor could remember being invited to a party had been during the rise of the Roman Empire, back when he'd been able to interact freely with humans by passing himself off as a servant of Jupiter. The Romans had definitely known how to have a good time, but he wasn't holding this up to their standards. Still, it would be nice to relax and mingle a bit. Pleasant company wasn't a luxury he'd had often with Jadow, at least not before they'd captured Sylvia.

He was a bit late, one of the downsides to being a nocturnal species. He was glad for his demonic metabolism, which needed less sleep than a mortal, but his new body still didn't like waking up before dark.

"Hope I didn't miss anything important. My internal alarm clock doesn't seem to have gotten the memo that I don't actually need to sleep all day."

[humanesqueheartstrings]

"Naw you didn't miss a thing," replied Lyra over the music. "C'mon in and have something to eat before you start drinking. I dunno how you did it in the past, but there's plenty of food and lots of stuff to munch on in between drinks."

[strawberryredgrave]

"And there's lots of drinks to have between snacks." Chimed in a particular dragon, who was busy drinking and laughing his ass off, as he usually did in these kinds of parties. "That's the important part."

[superstylishsquid]

"I hope you remembered my advice about the sweets."

He glanced over when he heard a familiar voice, floating up off the floor so he could put his front hooves on his waist, as if he was still bipedal.

"How did I know you were going to be here."

[humanesqueheartstrings]

"Oh I know you two probably have history, so I figured you'd want to, y'know, hash it out a little," admitted Lyra. "Don't break anything!"

[strawberryredgrave]

"Babe, all I'm gonna break is the record for most drinks in one night." Dante claimed with a proud smirk. "I'm behind on my partying and I need to make up for that."

[der_vogelfanger]

Papageno isn't sure what 'drink responsibly' means -- maybe that she's holding them all responsible for making sure they drink everything by the end of the night? He grins and takes the offered cup of moonshine, his eyes lighting up as soon as he's had a sip.

"Heavenly! I was beginning to think this land didn't have real drinks!"

[humanesqueheartstrings]

"Not many ponies have parties with drinks, the most you get is hard cider of course but that's often done up special like and it takes aging and all that. This is a special mix from Appleloosa."

Lyra gestured to the food. "Have some food too. It'll help with keeping you lucid for longer."

[der_vogelfanger]

"Lucid? Oh, no, I'm not one of those enlightened kinds. The fruit of the vine and maybe a little sweetbread is all I need in the world." Well, not quite all, but let him get a drink or two in. He took some of the noms readily, though; free food was as welcome as free drinks.

[humanesqueheartstrings]

"Well not quite what I meant but hey. It basically keeps you from getting a stomach ache later on," replied Lyra.

[der_vogelfanger]

"I have the stomach of a goat!" boasted Papageno, clapping himself on the belly with one hoof. "But I wouldn't mind a few things to nibble."

[humanesqueheartstrings]

"That's good then! Too bad you didn't turn into a goat though or you'd really have a good time." said Lyra with a laugh.
