Re: Alexis O'Ryan's Bachelorette Party

[Pockets]

Alexis tries to hand the woman one of the real menus, but the woman brushes her off, preferring Gabe's menu. Alexis shrugs apologetically to the server. Nikki stops snickering at eyes the woman warily.

Moira: 'Ello again. You look loik you're feelin' a bit better.

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda: He is.... smart, fun, sensitive...... I love him.

Amanda looks nervous.

....I mean.... I'm sure you've noticed the ring by now.

[Cryonix]

Jillian: I did. I was going to ask you about that, actually. He must be someone special. You never really...showed any intrest in dating or anything like that before...

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel:"Huh? Oh uh...yeah sure...Oh! So I asked your daughter to be..."

she pauses for a moment with a slight eye roll and a smirk and lowers her voice to a whisper, leaning into Moira

Raquel:"Asked her to be my bridesmaid"

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda: I know it's a little crazy..... but I guess that's the pattern in this family..... Dad, Alex..... and now me. Guys just.... never really interested me.... it wasn't something I thought about..... but then I met Micah and..... I just..... knew.

[Pockets]

Moira lowers her own voice.

Moira: Why the whisperin'?

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel stares at Moira, then looks around at the room, then back at Moira
Raquel:"...Seriously?"

[Cryonix]

Jillian: Yeah...I know exactly how you feel. It's just something...you know. So....tell me. How did he do it...you know...propose? It's been so long since we've actually talked, Mandy...

[Pockets]

Moira sighs.

Moira: Ain't you jus' slightly blowin' this out of proportion? If you ain't noticed they're lettin' that shite go 'ere. Today ain't about the family issues.

Having given up on the menu, Alexis walks over to Amanda with her present from Raquel. She holds it up for her and grins.

Alexis: Well... think Alex will like this?

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda smiles.

Amanda: I know mum..... too long..... I guess it's just been a..... busy time recently. And well.... he kinda proposed twice. When he bought me this necklace

She flashes the necklace Micah bought her.

....he promised he'd get me a ring to match. and he did..... he flew me to Bermuda and proposed right there on the beach.

She looks at the lingerie.

..... I think his neck might snap from not being able to decide what to stare at first....

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel shakes her head at Moira

Raquel:"You want me to just yell it out to the room or something because nothing is supposed to happen? Even if that is the case, that they ain't letting things like that go, I'm still going to avoid it around them. Its not me being sensitive. Its me being tactful dammit. As tactful as I can at least."

[Pockets]

Alexis giggles.

Alexis: Aunt Quelly knew just exactly my size too....

She looks shyly at Jillian.

Alexis: I can't say I'm not looking forward to the honeymoon....

Moira rolls her eyes.

Moira: That ain't wot I was sayin'! Jus' act normal, there ain't a need for walkin' on eggshells, alroit. You ain't gotta throw it in their faces, but you ain't gotta act loik they're gonna rip your throat out for breathin' on them wrong. From wot I've seen Jilly and Amanda ain't been less than nice to you since you got 'ere.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel:"And I'm not going to give them reason to Moira. Anyways...Alexis told me about Caley."

[Pockets]

Moira looks a little sad.

Moira: Ah... yeah... Caley. I guess in the end she redeemed 'erself a little. I jus' don't understand 'ow someone who's willin' to die for 'er child... as any mum should be... could be the same person that put Colin through all that she did when 'e was little.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel nods

Raquel:"Yeah. I guess we'll never really know what was going on in her mind. I guess Colin was pretty shaken by it huh?"

[Pockets]

Moira: Yeah... it's understandable though. She was 'is mother... but she treated 'im loik shite... then in the end she gets 'erself killed to save 'im... poor kid doesn't know wot to think.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel:"Yeah I can imagine..."
she smirks a little
Raquel:"I hear he's been full of surprises lately though."

[Pockets]

Moira: You mean 'im gettin' married too, roit? 'E really does love 'er, I can tell... I'm 'appy for them.

She chuckles.

Moira: But now I've got both kids goin' an' gettin' married... I ain't ever gonna get the chance to get my news out... although it might jus' keep leakin' out anyway.

[Cryonix]

Jillian's cell phone goes off...

Jillian: Excuse me. Hello? Yes, this is Dr. Edwards....What?.....No, I can't. I'm not even in the country!....Yes, it's on file....it's been on file for months....what is this in regards to?.....I....what....promoted to Cheif of Staff and Resident Coordinator of the the Royal London Hospital?......I......I don't know what to say....

Jenny: I do. It's time to get fucked up...

Jillian: JENNY!...

Jenny: No naked twister again, I promise...

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda squeals and hugs Jillian.

Amanda: Mum! That's amazing!

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel:"You and Ben set a date yet?"

[Pockets]

Moira: We haven't even really set anything with it yet.

Alexis winces as Amanda squeals almost directly in her ear.

Nikki: Naked twister?

[Cryonix]

Jillian hangs up the phone and sits back in her chair...

Jillian: I get to have my celebration food now....I swear I only have this on special occasions....

Jenny: Yeah. Ol' Jil over there was a real lightweight back in the day...

Jillian: Oh Christ, Jenny...

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel:"I get the feeling that Ben knows enough people that this is going to be a good sized wedding though."

[Pockets]

Moira: It'll be weird being a celebrity. I mean I know we are a bit, wot with the FWA an' everythin'... but nothin' loik A-list shite. Goin' from elopin' the first time round so somethin' loik this... I dunno.
