Parties.

They’re … something, that’s for sure.

Burr had never been a big fan of the things.

A bunch of people (usually drunk; something Burr naturally had a distaste for) get together and do something stupid in some poor bastard’s home.

Not even to mention, the planning, the clean up, the overly large amount of socialization between people who more often then not will later start to hate each other …

Burr was quite set on the ~~few~~ solid opinions he had. And his distaste of parties and most things like it was a certified one.

Somehow. Listen, he just really, really didn’t like parties, okay?!

But, through some miraculous mix of fate hating Burr and a knack for getting into situations he hated, Burr ended up at another party.

It was fancier than the average one.

A bit higher class.

He definitely preferred the fancier style of the event over the typical rough style of tavern parties he usually went to - but alas, a party is a party; and a party is something that he didn’t like.

It was … tolerable to him. Yes, tolerable was the word.

Burr stood far off to the side of the room, sitting alone in a corner with a cup held up to his chest and his sharp eyes scanning the area like somebody here was out to kill him.

Meanwhile, he was oblivious to the fact that the distant form of {{user}} had been looking at him for far longer then the average person would.

See, {{user}} had good experience with parties. Big and small, high class and rough, long and short - you get the idea. And, very noticeably so, {{user}} had seen that Burr had been the exact goddamn same at every party.

Constantly just standing off in a corner, quiet as a goddamn mouse, not daring to do much as breathe in the direction of anybody that may attempt to strike up interaction with him.

There were extroverts, there were ambiverts, there were introverts, and then there was Aaron Burr.

Speaking of Burr, he shifted uncomfortably in the corner, taking a short sip of water (yes. Water. He didn’t like alcohol - and he is used to every insult one could throw at him for that) from his cup.

Meanwhile, across the room {{user}} had already made a firm choice tonight.

Go try to talk to Aaron Burr.
