You're sort of at the party, but not quite. Watch from the outside, outsider! WATCH ALL NIGHT LONG!

Derek finished locking up the supplies by any means he could find.
Susie- "Are you done yet?"
Derek- "Ain't nothin' walking off on my watch. But yeah, I gotta relax."
Susie- "Maybe you should go have a rest on the couches or something. It's been a long day. Want me to get you something to drink?"
Derek- "Oh, that's really nice. Yeah, let's go over to the couches. Yeah..." He rubbed his face. Susie nodded to him and gently herded him into the party.

Jonah and Basil stood against a wall, drinks in hand. Jonah- "So Basil, you're unattached huh? You think you wanna try to make a love connection tonight?"
Basil- "Ah yes. Quite. The people, they are reticent, but I am persistent. I've got a cool British accent."
Jonah- "I'll give you that. Well, I hope you'll keep my company until you spot a likely uh.. what's the word? I don't want to say 'target.'"
Basil- "An inamorata!"
Luke- "Uhh... you think that's gonna work for ya?"
Basil- "Why wouldn't it?" (Incredulous look)
Luke- "...I don't think the ladies like Old Spice."
Basil- "Hmph. How would you know?"
Luke- "...Everybody knows that."

Seth arrived at the party after 'showering' and changing into some more appropriate clothing. He couldn't find any pants that fit his inseam and waist measurements, so he had to settle for some too short women's black trousers, and wore an over-sized white button up on top with one of Stevie's ties origamied into a bow.
Stevie- "Hey! Ready for the party? Lookin' rather dandy."
Seth- "Hey, thanks! Oh... you know, I wanted to tell you something..."
He pulled Stevie aside. Stevie- "Uh, what's this about?"
Seth- "I was just thinking... I feel pretty confident we're not gonna get jumped by ghosts since it hasn't happened yet, right?"
Stevie- "Why... d'ya mention ghosts old chum?"
Seth- "It's just... there's that apartment next door, you know? I think I'd just feel more comfortable if--"
Stevie- "What! No! Roomies! The odd couple! Just a couple guys hangin' out havin' good times! C'monnn!"
Seth- "Aw Stevie. You know I'll hang out with you still. Hey what if one of us wanted to take a sweetie back to our room, you know?"
Stevie- "What if--what if you're gonna get got by a ghost huh? Huh? What if ghosts do come here? What are you gonna do?"
Seth- "Maybe I'll get one of these little dogs running around, maybe it can like, bark if it sees a ghost?"
Stevie- "What if the dog decides to take a nap? You never know when a dog's gonna take a nap. If I was a dog, I'd take a nap when you were taking a nap."
Seth- "Man I just, I couldn't sleep... It'll be right next door, you know?"
Stevie- "Why couldn't you sleep? It's perfectly comfortable in there. We could make it better!"
Seth- "C'mon, you know people are gonna start sleeping in their own rooms soon. I should claim that place while I still can! We'll be next door neighbors, like Seinfeld or whatever. You can come sliding in through my door being all wacky!"
Stevie- "Man! I always wanted a cool roomie. And I had one-- for just one night! I didn't take advantage of that to have a cool party or somethin'..."
Seth- "Hey we have a cool party now, right?"
Stevie- "It's not the same man... It's just not the same. Go on, get outta here ya bastid!" Seth sighed and smiled, and they entered into the comm center.

The doctor emerged from his room, the sounds of the Icelandic goddess stirring him from his slumber. Frumpy dumpy, the powder blue button up shirt half undone, khaki pants tied up with his belt around his slender waist. He looked more disoriented than Luke had the first time they met. "What's going on here?" He rubbed at his face, then noticed the large gathering crowd. Turning, he vanished into his room for a quick change. When he finally emerged, his shirt was still only half buttoned. His eyes look less swelled, hair fixed in a ceasar style with a little front flip. The black suit pants were a little large, but the boots Micah had discarded didn't look nearly as awkward as even the doctor had thought. He nodded to the gathering of men with a flashy smile. "Gentlemen, we'll all turn to dust if we don't get out there and have some fun. It's about time you all shook off the yolk of catastrophe for a single night. Here comes the Chazza."

Luke- "I believe that young man intends to cut a rug. Take a chance, Bozz."
Basil- "I just might!"

Patti spotted Sonya and her friend standing on the periphery, chatting with Davin. She approached. "Did I miss anything particularly interesting?"

Seth came out to the supply area, drink in hand and with a little dog trailing behind. He saw the supplies had been apparently shoved into cabinets which were locked shut with bicycle locks. He walked over and idly poked them.Derek approached. Derek- "Need somethin' chief?"
Seth- "Oh! Someone asked me about getting them a medicine, an anti-depressant. Those things got a nasty side-effect if you don't step off of them first."
Derek- "Bryce?! Man, that dude's just looking for a score."
Seth- "Of anti-depressants? I don't think you can get high off those."
Derek- "You don't think, but you don't know. Man, those guys are like scientists, figuring out how to get high. He'd be doing it off fuckin'... Cool Whip or something."
Seth- "Well, maybe I can dispense them to him. Just one a day or whatever the label says."
Derek- "How do you know? You don't have any proof."
Seth- "They give those things out to everyone these days. Whether he's really got the issue or not, you still have to step down to get off them or you get pretty screwed up. Maybe that's why he acts... like that."
Derek- "What? Nah, he's just a punk. Alright, well you wanna deal with that stuff, you deal with it. This one's for the drugs, I got 'em in this one right here. Just take that stuff, and lock up when you're done."
Seth- "Uh, thanks." Seth bent down and started sorting through the pill bottles, sipping on his drink. Jonah- "Hey what do we have going on here?"
Seth- "Oh, just... *sigh* Someone needed some medicine. Derek's being pretty strict about dispensing."
Jonah- "Hm. What kind of medicine? Not diabetes medicine I hope!"
Seth- "Oh no, God... they'd be in trouble, yikes. No, just some anti-depressants."
Jonah- "That's still pretty bad. I hadn't thought about it, but maybe we should ask everybody if they've got something they need like that. Maybe they could talk to the doctor and come up with a plan for stepping down, and we can know whether there's something absolutely essential we gotta be looking for out there."
Seth- "Yeah we got the Medical Center, they might be willing to trade for medicine again. Good idea Jonah. Hey..."
He found the bottle he was looking for, and stood up.
Seth- "I was thinking, we could probably use a counselor around here. I was going to ask Kerry, but maybe we could use two. You're really calm, I think you could do well at that. Would you like to do that instead of some of the usual chores?"
Jonah- "I feel a little weird...! Um... Well, I'm not really cut out for heavy lifting. I'll do it. If it turns out that I suck at it, you can always fire me."
Seth- "Haha, I doubt that. I think, just listen to people's problems, no need for psychoanalysis or whatever. Let's talk tomorrow, we can set up a schedule for everybody."
Jonah- "Okay, will do."
Seth locked up the medicine and went back to the party.

Patti- Patti spotted Sonya and her friend standing on the periphery, chatting with Davin. She approached. "Did I miss anything particularly interesting?"
Davin- "Patti, hey. You're looking a bit more relaxed this evening. Like, Sergeant Relaxed of the Joy Division. But don't let my formal wear make you ill at ease - I'm the odd duck at this jamboree."
Sandy- "It's everyone doing their own thing. I guess part of it later is going to be Nat's birthday party, but they didn't want everyone to go to that anyway, so... I think I'll go! He's a cute kid." Davin, Sonya and Sandy made their way in to the party along with Patti.

Basil- "Ah! I do believe I see a damsel in distress that needs de-stressing. Good evening sirs and madams." Basil slipped away into the party.

Nat meandered on out of the hallway leading to his room, with two hyperactive bulldogs following him, and Sarah a few paces ahead of him. He stopped at the edge of the party, however, despite the fact that Sarah seemed more intent to drag him to the refreshments table or possibly the dance floor (what the hell was the doctor doing over there?). When Sarah turned to look at him questioningly, Nat offered her a nervous smile. "Um, just... just a minute? Do you see, um. Alex?" Nat turned his attention to the crowd - which... seemed to be growing smaller by the moment. He actually didn't have much issue with that, really - the smaller it was, the less daunting it was. He just needed a minute to find some familiar faces, to assure himself that they weren't *all* strangers. ( More or less, leaving him here for if anyone wants to find him. When I wake up again, I'll move him to the Refreshments table, or wherever it is he needs to be dragged to. ;p)

Pepper- Sarah- "Snuffle, whuf." "Huh. Not so many people dancing now. Maybe the doctor's moves scared them off."

Micah walked up to Nat and that chick. He didn't have a present, so instead he offered Nat a huge smile. "Happy Birthday Nat, where the fuck hav' ya been?" Micah will attempt to give Nat an awkward but friendly hug, should he accept it.

Tony pranced over to Micah as he came up, his little stubby tail wagging like a mini fan. The dog whuffed and snuffled at the Aussie's feet. For his part, Nat smiled a touch nervously at Micah, looking a little flustered by the 'happy birthday,' and he accepted the hug as it was given: awkwardly. Even if he looks embarrassed, he does seem happy with the sentiment. "Hi, Micah. Um, th-thanks. I, um, I kind of fell asleep... Hows, uh, how's the party?"
