I don’t know as I’ve just arrived. But I’m sure our hosts will be along with them very soon. Hmm, no drinks in sight either, do you think we’re just early?

Look at you, using that hoity-toity language. It’s FOOD, damnit. Hell, I’d even settle for fingerfood. But don’t go using that horrid french language around me; it sounds like someone dry-heaving with cottonballs shoved up his nose.

Speaking of which, where is the damn food? I could totally go for some cake… mmm… especially chocolate devilsfood cake.

And where are the hosts? No one bothered to take my raincoat when I walked in? What kind of host doesn’t greet his guests and take their coats. Maybe it was a mistake to come here.

This reminds me of the “Unexpected Party” when dwarves kept appearing at Bilbo’s door and he didn’t have any food or drink ready.

I’m definitely not early. I always show up fashionably late. I think the hosts are even worse than we are. I think they’re bunch of attention whores, because we’ll all be so in need of their hosting when they arrive, that they think we’ll forget that they’re thoughtlessly late.

Of course, if I were to think on the positive side… maybe they just had a brainfart? Maybe they were on their way here and realized they forgot the margarita mix and the peppermint schnapps.

Nah, I think they’re just a bunch of assholes. Yup, that’s it!

You are NOT excused. I will absolutely NOT put up with your high society, elitist, silverspooned attitude. So you speak French! Well, I speak English, damnit! And this faux apology gets no sort of sympathy from me. Not from this hardnosed beast.

Urm… sorry. I should have known better than to get shitfaced before even coming to the party. My behavior was uncalled for.

Where’s kitchen? I think I’m going to need to douce my hot temper with some cool icewater.

I don’t think that you guys should be so mean about our hosts. They didn’t have to host this party for us. And **ZipperJJ** seems so nice. I think she’d be really hurt if she knew you guys were saying such awful things about her.

I wasn’t trying to be mean… it was the booze talking. I think she’ll realize that, unless she’s overly touchy on that.

Urgh… now I’m feeling nauseous. If you all need me, I’ll be in the bathroom, hanging my head over the toilet bowl.
