Alonzo was searching, mostly for Admetus so they could talk about stuff, but at least partially for an excuse to drink as well. He really needed alcohol right now.
All of this stuff with Plato, and everything that had been happening all over the junkyard, it was all just getting ridiculous. He needed a night where there was no stress, just some unabashed, unashamed, frivolous drunkenness.
He hoped to at least one or two others who shared this mindset.
((Party thread! Everyone come on in!))

"Hey," Munkustrap greeted Alonzo, at first not picking up on the other's seemingly search. "Sup man?" A little bit more casual as he jogged, giving a tug to his track pants, shirt free from sweat mostly at being caught before he jogged. Munkustrap liked jogging twice a day, once early morning when some of the others would join him, and once, at night, so he could think in solitude.

"Heya Munk," Alonzo called. It felt like it had been forever since he's spoken to the Jellicle protector, maybe he would be up for drinking and catching up or something. "How the heck have you been? It feels like it's been forever since we've actually gotten a chance to talk."

"Yeah, yeah, I know, right? I've been..." He paused, thinking about how to respond. Well, it was Alonzo, and there weren't the others around, especially not Tugger... "A bit... busy." He made a lewd gesture with some fingers in a circle, other fingers thrusting through it, a little smirk accompanying that.

Just at that moment, Admetus happened to appear behind some rubbish, out for a walk. He spotted two of the cats he was closest with in the junkyard, grinned, and walked over to them. Just as Munkustrap made the lewd gesture. Ah, timing.
"Well well well. Seems I chose the opportune moment to show up," Admetus said with a smirk.

Alonzo grinned, sticking his tongue out slightly, "you dog, you!" He was happy to see Munk less stressed, "with who? That new queen who came in here recently? What's her name again...Kit, right?"
"Admetus, hey!" This was a good start.

Munkustrap jerked around before he settled when Admetus came closer. He had this horrific thought that it was Plato, and were it Plato... that'd be the end all of everything.
"I don't tend to screw and tell... when sober." With the second smirk, the invitation for drinks was left open. Might be a nice time to hang out with the boys, to relax from the rigors of leadership. After all, if he was just going to go for a run...
And then there was his name. He couldn't help but wince... if only they knew what side she was on... but that was something he couldn't reveal to his friends. Her attitude tended to alienate herself as well, and although his older brother was all set to shun her, he wasn't ready to make that move. Not without proof. It was a good sob story, true, but it'd explain her personality enough.
"... come on. If we get over to Skimble's den quickly enough, probably could get a bottle of scotch. Not that an alcoholic would notice it." He walked ahead of the others, tail brushing against the back of his calves. Why'd Alonzo have to guess right? It'd be harder to gloat about it. She had mad good skills.

Alonzo grinned again, jumping on the spot and pumping his fist in the air. "Munk, you just said the magic words, alcohol is exactly what I was hoping for today. Addy, you in?"

Admetus raised an eyebrow at Munkustrap, but didn't pry further. Munkustrap knew Admetus was there if he needed a tom-talk, so he'd let Munkustrap approach him on his own accord, if he needed to discuss things. Admetus never pried, he left others to come to him in stead. He'd listen and offer support. That's what Admetus did so well.
Ooo. Booze.
"Of course I'm in," he said with a grin to Alonzo, and then gave him a mock glare. "After all, you and Plato excluded me the last time. Some friends you are!"

"You seriously think Plato would actually even consider it exclusion? In his world, it's a privilege to even be within ten feet of him," Munkustrap snorted as he walked, though then quieted a little bit. Sometimes he forgot Admetus was related to Plato, and even though they were cousins, Admetus often took the big brother or paternal role when it came to the other. They could joke a lot about him... but sometimes the jokes wouldn't sit well. He hoped it'd be fine this time, and he grinned at Admetus to try and make sure the other knew it was a joke, and not a dig... or at least that much of a dig.
"And I just never get invited anywhere anymore. You guys are making me feel old." Like he was that old. Ha! Just... grayer... from stress... which sucked sometimes. But styling his hair into the fauxhawk he liked really helped out.

Alonzo twitched a little at Admetus' comment, we excluded you for all the best reasons Admetus, I don't think you would have liked being there too much...though it would have been kind of hot. Damn it Alonzo, keep your head out of the gutter!
"It's kinda true," Alonzo said, breaking out of his thoughts just in time to hear Munk, "Plato has no way of understanding the idea of exclusion." He nudged Munk's shoulder, "aww, you're not old Munk, you're just always busy is all!"

Admetus snorted. "I know. It was just a joke. Daft thing doesn't want his cousin around when he's hanging with his best friend," he said with a grin. He knew Plato didn't mean anything by it, so Admetus never took it personally. He'd happily feign, though, to poke fun at them. All in good fun.
Then he slung an arm around Munkustrap's neck, giving him an one-armed hug of sorts. "Psh. You can always hang out with me, you know that!" he said with a grin.

Munkustrap grinned before half-wrestling against Admetus and pulling away as he got up to Skimble's den. Doing a quick peak to make sure that the railway cat was definitely not there, he scooted inside to return moments later with a large bottle of scotch, whispering and laughing, "run, run, run!"
He couldn't be a responsible leader all the time.

Alonzo snickered, running after Munk and hopping on his back, "giddy up buddy! Let's go drink some scotch!"

Admetus laughed, and followed the other two, throwing a glance over his shoulder to see if anyone had spotted them.

The Bombshell did not walk. She strutted, occasionally sauntered, and had been known to stomp, but she never walked. So as she moved across the junkyard, hips swaying, shoulders thrown back, chest thrust forward, she tried to come up with a verb synonymous with this action.
Slinking? She shrugged. It didn't matter. It was sexy regardless. Dressed in head to toe black (black tank top, black leather leggings, black heels, because if it ain't broke, don't fix it) and in dire need of some comnpany, she sought out some other Jellicles.
Multiple scents hit her simultaneously. The decidedly male scent of toms, namely Alonzo, Admetus, and Munkustrap and booze. Perfect. She headed in that general direction, coming across the collection of cats with a smirk.
"Hello, boys," she purred, in a voice that could make "pass the salt" sound sexy. "What's going on here? Having a party without me?"

Munkustrap laughed, pretending to nearly double over when Alonzo jumped on him. "DIET! You need a DIET!" So not the case, but so amusing to him as he shifted Alonzo's weight with ease to carry him. And then, there was the Bomb.
"More like just getting started now that you're here," he grinned, wiggling the scotch bottle. "Care to do the honors?"

Alonzo playfully swatted at Munk's ears, "I do not need a diet! I am in perfect shape thank you very much."
Alonzo waved at Bomba as she entered his view, "hey Bomba! Yeah, you're here just in time, though if this party gets too much bigger we might need some more alcohol."

Admetus grinned when Bombalurina appeared. "Well, hello there," he said happily, and then nodded at Alonzo's remark. "Indeed. If more people show up, one bottle of scotch won't be nearly enough!"

"Good. Lonz volunteers to get some since it was his idea," Munkustrap said, trying to dump the other from his back to the floor.

"No way," Alonzo screamed, clinging onto Munk's back for dear life, "make Addy do it."

"Oi! I agree with Munk. You're the one who suggested it first, so you should be the one to get it," Admetus said with a smirk.

"Come on, get off, asshole. Sooner you do that, sooner I can tell you about fucking Ki--someone." Munkustrap said, stopping himself. Bomba. Right. Probably she wouldn't want to hear about that. Ugh. Close one.

The scarlet queen settled herself onto an overturned crate, crossing her legs with practiced elegance.
"I'd love to," she smiled, accepting the bottle from Munkustrap, unscrewing the cap and taking a swig.
"What have you bunch been up to?" she questioned, running a hand through her hair and thrusting the bottle at the rest of the assembly.

Post by Alonzo on Feb 28, 2011 15:38:12 GMT -5
Alonzo jumped down off of Munkustrap, giving in. He grabbed the bottle from Bomba, taking a few swigs before shuddering, "man that's awful." He smiled, "we've been stealing from Skimble and accumulating people apparently."
"OK, I'll go get more alcohol. I'll be right back though, don't do anything fun without me!"
He ran off towards Plato's den, where he hoped to find both the tom and his stash of drinks.

Admetus took the bottle from Alonzo and took a swig before offering it to Munkustrap.
He shrugged at Bombalurina's question. "I've not been up to much at all, to be quite honest," he said, absentmindedly tugging a bit on his blue v-neck polo sweater. "I'm terribly exciting. Sounds like the other two have better stories to tell," he said with a smirk, eyeing Munkustrap, and then Alonzo's back as he ran off. They still hadn't had that talk.

"Really, mine wasn't that interesting. Like, at all," Munkustrap fibbed as he drank from the bottle, not even making a face at the scotch. "I don't see what's wrong wtih it," he said plainly, a few other gulps had before he passed the bottle back, looked around, then sat down on an overturned crate. "What about you, Bomba?"

Post by bombalurina on Feb 28, 2011 17:46:56 GMT -5
Bomba took back the scotch, taking a second sip, and passing it on. She'd carefully ignored Munkustrap's earlier comment, being very uncomfortably aware what name he'd almost said. Fucking Kitrina. The whole concept made her skin crawl. Munkus was a fine piece of ass, there was no denying that, but Kitrina was one of the most fragile queens Bomb had ever encountered, and she was best friends with Demeter, for the Everlasting Cat's sake.
Kit didn't need this, and she didn't need to be talked about behind her back.
She endeavored to keep the topic of conversation as far from the grey queen as possible. If she played her cards right, she could keep this encounter fun.
"My day has been beyond boring," she complained theatrically, putting a hand to her brow. "I couldn't find Tugger anywhere, and Demeter was sleeping." She stuck her lower lip out in a pout. "Entertain me?"

Immediately, Munkustrap's thoughts went straight to his groin. He cast a look at Admetus before he cleared his throat and grinned. "However would you want to be entertained? We could force Addy to dance."
Yeah... better to not try to hit on her... at least not then...

Admetus took the bottle from Munkustrap and took another gulp, wincing a little as the liquid went down his throat.
"Things seem quiet around here lately. Almost too quiet. Nothing ever happens. I don't like it, it's giving me the heebiejeebies," he said, shivering theatrically.
Then he shot a glare at Munkustrap. "Me? Dance? Oh, you wish," he said with a smirk.
