It probably wasn't exactly the catered party Reggie had been looking for, but it was still a party, which was exactly what Kate needed. The past month had been fucking weird, between everything that had happened with Esther and all the stuff on Halloween, most of which she was neatly repressing and avoiding at all costs. Parties always helped with the whole avoidance thing.

Especially parties where there was tons of alcohol with which to get totally shitfaced.

They hadn't bothered to decorate, but there was food and there were drinks and Kate had even decided she'd share some of her stash -- the one she actually hadn't touched in months -- with some of the guests if they were nice. She'd also realized that having a party where shit was likely to get out of hand with a gun nearby was probably a bad idea, so she'd locked it up and had given it to Danny for safe keeping, a move she thought Harley would approve of.

Especially since the last time she'd held it, she'd shot someone.

But she wasn't thinking about that tonight. She was thinking about the amazing party and the amazing drink she had in her hand.

Aphrodite nods and takes another sip of her drink. "Oh, I totally am," she confirms. Luke's playing bartender, but she hardly feels the need to be glued to his side, and she's been having a blast. "So you're Princess' new roommate, huh? What's your story, Slick?"

"Princess, I'll have to remember that," Reggie chuckled under his breath before grinning. "My story? Let's go with 'devastatingly handsome star athlete meets island, island totally bites, meets girl, moves in, island bites a little bit less.' That's the short version that gets us to tonight, anyway." And if she wanted more, well, he would more than happy to oblige. Reggie's favorite of topic conversation had always been Reggie.

"And now you can add 'meets the goddess of love who is of course totally awesome, island bites even less now.' You're totally welcome." Aphrodite gives him a dazzling grin. "So what's your name, devastatingly handsome star athlete?"

"Consider it added," Reggie said, wide-eyed and approving, "to the grand and storied tale of Reginald Mantle the third. I go by Reggie, Reggie the Great, Reggie the Magnificent, and other variations thereof."
