Getting older doesnt mean getting wiser

[Chastity Holloway]

"Another in here when you have a second" Chas placed her empty glass onto the bar and cast another look around the pub, giving a low sigh at the distinct lack of company.
She didn't like birthdays, it meant she was one year closer to death & at the rate she smoked that was already coming sooner than she likedm taking a cigarette from the packet, she lit it & took a long drag whilst she passed the bar tender the money for her drink.
Never planning a night out, Chas had made sure to let people know when & where she'd be drinking on her birthday, in the hopes that people would show up & she'd have a good time.
Sitting by herself in the virtually empty pub, Chas decided her subtle planning had failed her & had vowed to get completely ratarsed on her own & to smoke twice as much as usual, she wasn't going to let the new haircut & outfit she'd bought for the night to go to waste.


(Ooc. Anyone? I like playing the grumpy one haha! Shall edit in a pic of her new hair when I'm home)

Making his way toward the bar Sean spotted the familiar birthday girl. “Why hello birthday girl, you’re looking lovely and younger than I’ve seen you look in years,” he teased her, but his eyes were saying she looked absolutely beautiful.

Catching the eye of the bar tender he said coolly, “All her rounds are on me,” he said pointing to Chas. “Hope you don’t mind I brought you a birthday gift,” he said handing her a neatly wrapped present with blue ribbon, “The rest are at your house.” Sean had somehow managed to get into her house- technically it was kind of breaking and entering, but not when you knew where the spare key was hidden- and had bought her all new appliances and within a matter of hours had installed them with the help of a few experts. Not that he couldn’t have done it by himself but time constraints being what they were he needed more than a bit of magic on his side. She now had a giant new bath, hot water, a new cooker and basically a completely new apartment, one where everything worked properly.

“If you don’t like what I gave you, at home I mean, you can choose something else and call this number,” he handed her a slip of paper with his scrawl that simply reveal a mobile number in black ink, “And it will be replaced,” he told her with one of his small signature smiles trying to be vague about it. “Oh and don’t worry, I replaced your spare key,” he added admittedly a bit arrogant about it, as if it was perfectly fine that he’d broken into her house. Sean took a sip of his scotch before glancing at his watch. He had also, courteously of his secretary Lavender, sent out invitation notices telling people to come here, after hearing where Chas would be. No one would likely show up at a subtle ‘come if you feel like it because I hate birthdays’ kind of request, but when Sean told Lavender to write up an invite that looked like it could be from a girl, ie Chas, he hoped they would come. Glancing around he said a tad mockingly but internally hopeful that everyone who got the invitations would come, “So where is everybody?”

((ooc: Hope you don’t mind Sean, he’s a little bleh, but I wanted him to be like the man behind the curtain secretly doing nice things but kind of acting like a jackass on the outside.))

Hearing an unmistakable male voice behind her, Chas blew out a stream of smoke to the side as she turned to see him approaching, her eyes looking up at him before she gave a slight shake of her head, "You dont have to buy me drinks all night, I do have some money...Im not a complete pauper" she gave a slight scowl, in all honesty her vault at Gringotts was slowly become emptier and emptier, her new job not quite covering all the repairs she had to do on her house and almost everything in it. But Chastity hated feeling like a charity case, she always felt like people were giving her things because they felt sorry for her, a habit that was hard for her to break.

Taking the box from him, she looked at and was about to open it before looking back to him, "The rest? What are they? 10 young boys for me to use at my leisure? You shouldnt have" she gave a laugh before draining her glass, if he was paying she was going to have an extra drunk night. "My spare key? And why were you in my house? Was Janis there?" she asked in a small voice, Janis hadnt been home in over a week and she hadnt spoke to Chastity fr even longer, a fact that Chas wasnt sharing with Sean of all people.

"This seems to be the party here, ah well, you'll just have to keep me occupied" she gave him an almost hungry look, granted she still thought he was the biggest arse to walk the planet but he was a good lay & he used to love her once upon a time.

Hearing a bustling noise, Chas looked around slowly and smiled at her younger sister as she came in, "No disco balls, its not a party. Im just here having a drink for that day I made the world more awesome" she held her cigarette away from her body as she leaned in and gave Lacey a one armed hug before looking closely at her sister's face. "What? You've got some kind of thing stuck to your face...like a glittery fungus. Kids these days" she gave a shrug, smirking evilly at her little sister before leaning in and giving Sean a halfhearted hug, not one to show much emotion in front of her sisters.

(ooc. Hope she was ok! And let me know what she got...Im excited!)

ETA: The left side is what her hair is like & the right side is her outfit...the silver dress with leather jacket
