baby, can you handle this

[efficacy]

Who: Pepper Potts, Marian Hawke, Elena Fisher, Chloe Frazer + whoever happens across them?
When: Sometime in January
Where: The bar
What: Pepper's bachelorette party
Warnings: Drinking....


[ So Tony had proposed to Pepper with the ring that had mysteriously shown up from home, and she'd accepted in her own inimitable manner. God knows how or when they can actually get married in the middle of space, but Pepper sure can have a bachelorette party already. It's mostly just an excuse to get together with the other girls and cut loose a little for a while. They could probably use it, after everything that's been going on lately.

Pepper's made sure to bring a couple of bottles of her fancy wine (that had also shown up together with the engagement ring), but otherwise they're at the mercy of what the bar has to offer -- or what everyone's managed to scrounge up otherwise. ]

Comments

later, for tony;

[efficacy]

[ So, there was booze. Oh, how much booze there was. Pepper normally isn't a big drinker, so after all of those toasts, her tolerance has taken a sound beating and lost miserably, leaving her uncharacteristically and undeniably plastered like Tony's never seen her before. Thankfully the other gals had seen her safely back to their quarters, and now she's having a grand old time hanging around Tony's neck (largely because she's a bit wobbly on her feet) in a very drunkenly affectionate fashion, blue eyes glassy, a goofy smile on her lips and the smell of alcohol on her breath. ]

Did you miss me? I missed you. Do you want to know how much I missed you? [ She's slurring a little, suddenly leaning in and squishing her nose against his cheek in a strange kind of nuzzle. ]

[arcreact]

[ Tony doesn't think much of it when Pepper bursts into the room - actually, some small part of him is relieved, because it means he's off babysitting duty for this stupid pig who won't stop snorting around for food - but by the time Pepper hobbles over and throws her arms around his neck, he realizes babysitting duty probably isn't over yet.

On the other hand, his night just got much more hilarious. ]

Hi honey. [ He wraps his arms around her waist in an attempt to keep her upright, doing his absolute best not to just burst into laughter right then and there. ] I did miss you, but don't let me distract you; you're more than welcome to wax on about how much my absence tore at you.

[efficacy]

[ Hey, don't call her baby stupid!! :( ]

Maybe I wouldn't go that far... [ she teases with a drunken giggle, suddenly letting go of him and flinging out her arms to the sides, maybe a little precariously trusting him to hold her up by her middle. ] But I missed you thiiiiiis much.

[ Descriptive, right? When she lowers her arms again, one wraps back around his shoulders and the other... does a little detour down to slap his ass appreciatively. Someone's sauced and saucy! ]

[arcreact]

[ Tony Stark deserves an Oscar AND a primetime Emmy for managing to keep a straight face. Has he ever seen Pepper this shitfaced? Almost certainly not. ]

Oh, really? That's - [ he hastily adjusts his grip when she throws her arms out ] that's really something, huh? [ Dryly, ] I'm overwhelmed by-

[ He cuts himself off, both eyebrows shooting into his hairline as his ass is given all the appreciation it deserves, thank you very much. Honestly, what's Pepper even complaining about when the roles are reversed? He's having a great time! ]

Okay, that's much more convincing.

[efficacy]

Yeah? You like that? [ She breathes a smoky -- and incredibly drunken -- chuckle through a vaguely predatory grin. His ass is definitely one of her favorites parts of him, okay!! And it's getting more than its fair share of attention now as her dainty hand grabs another handful, even as she leans in to nibble at his ear-- maybe a touch sloppily, though. ]

Wanna fool around? You know you do... [ It's almost like she's determined to climb him like a tree now, her other hand clawing at his clothes as she abandons his ear to work on sucking a good, old-fashioned hickey on the side of his neck. Definitely sloppy, this time. Is he still having a great time? ]

everyone, no tagging order;

[efficacy]

[ Speaking of fancy wine, the bottle of sparkling wine has been opened and poured into glasses for each of the girls -- something a little lighter before they ultimately move on to stronger stuff?? Pepper holds out hers in a toast. ]

So-- here's to a fun night, and thank you all for making this happen. [ Cheers? ]

[nicearsenal]

[Chloe, who's been needing a good reason to kick her own arse into gear and get out to stop feeling sorry for herself since Sam did a bunk, looks up from her still fizzing glass with a quirked eyebrow.]

Now hang on, aren't we supposed to be toasting you instead of the other way round?

[efficacy]

[ Pepper smiles and shrugs a shoulder, waving her free hand a little in a dismissive gesture. ]

Maybe, but who's counting? We can toast one another all night if we want to.

[tearsinajar]

Oh, don't you worry, once this comes out-- [ Elena holds up the full bottle of tequila, a slow grin appearing, one only Chloe knows personally. ] --we're be doing more than just toasting one another tonight.

[ Her glass goes up, shoulders squaring. ]

To Pepperony, cause, y'know, Pepper and Tony? Get it? Anyway--! May your pizza days be endless and full of cheese.

[nicearsenal]

[Elena. Elena that pun is terrible and we haven't even got the tequila out yet.

But that is an oh-so-familiar grin and Chloe returns it in kind, flashing it Pepper's way.]

...and never lacking in sausage.

[efficacy]

[ OH BOY Elena brought a whole bottle of tequila..... this will hurt. Pepper nearly chokes on a sip of wine at Chloe's saucy addition, coughing slightly through a laugh. ]

I think you'll probably have to direct that recommendation Tony's way...

[tearsinajar]

[ Of course she did! But Elena clinks her glass to theirs and takes a long sip. She manages to swallow it before coughing on it. ]

That man is supposed to be one of the brightest crayons in the box. If we sent it to him as a note, I guarantee he'd get it. If not, well, we'll have to have words with the man.

[nicearsenal]

Yup, dumpable offence in my book. I'd take the rock and scarper if he didn't take that particular hint.

[And wow, what a rock. Chloe likes shiny things but there's definitely a big part of the gal pal code that states 'thou shalt not covet nor steal thy friend's engagement bling.'

She takes a good sip of wine and hums thoughtfully.]

So. Hen do in space and we're lacking strippers. What are we going to do about that I wonder?
