Mariko grins when he mentions the drug related favours from his brothers. she's pretty sure that prescription pad would see a lot of use. Personally,she was never one for pills. She may be completely fine with doing lines off a toilet tank,but pills just seemed too.... junky like for her. Barely a step up from injection. She had her standards,after all. As she listns t him speak she smiles at the weird concept of the fact she just met someone,but already knew of the people he referred to. " Seeing Billy's your brother,I'll refrain some saying what I think Daniel's problem is.....but,maybe it isn't all him. I've heard Andrea isn't wrapped all that right either." She says with a little shrug. She had never met Andrea,but she had heard she either gave up a child,or had it taken away. Mariko had little patience for bad parents. If her sister could be a decent job,anyone should be able to. " Ooh! I love Persian cats. Even if they might have messed up ears." She giggles, picturing a Persian with one ear.

Once inside the door, Mariko takes off her shoes and neatly tucks then to the side of the door frame. She squeaks,"kitty!" And stoops down in hopes of getting it. She is disappointed when it hides from her. "Fine, be that way. nobody will like you when you grow up."she states to the cat as if it could really understand her. With the cat gone, Mariko finally looks around the house. She gives an impressed whistle and picks up a nick Nack to fondle briefly. She was sure it was expensive. It certainly didn't feel mass produced. " Your home is beautiful. I was expecting something more.... clinical. I like it. I don't feel like I'm going to get in trouble when touching something." She tells sayyid warmly. She does smile at the fireplace. When Gretchen moved closer to Erica and herself,she specifically bought a house with a fireplace. "Umm I'll go with the wine please." Mariko suggested ,plopping down on a sofa. He said to make herself at home,so she did. She went with the wine because it just felt right given the venue. Mariko was definitely the sort who used her drugs and alcohol as an escape. But she was comfortable enough with sayyid that she wanted to drink for the taste. She did appreciate they didn't Burst through the door and start going straight at it. While she certainly was ready for this
like a very hot bath,she wanted to ease herself into it.

"a person can only occupy a single room at a time. its silly to have a large house or in some of my friends' cases,a castle." mariko says looking around. she was a fairly practical person and was simple in her housing requirements. the house she actually did occupy was too large,but it was next door to her sister. so it was perfect in that regard. there really wasnt much mariko did splurge on. even her car was a couple years old fiat 500 arbarth. she only got the upscale one as she really liked the scorpion badge. she was a little disappointed to hear that red wine is all they had. she much rather preferred white. but she was a guest and it would be rude to protest. plus,she was sure sayyid had good wine. if anything her time with vara did expand her views on wine. so she gave a quick nod . "red sounds good. lets just hope i dont spill it on your furniture. though if you are out of the room when that happens? im blaming your cat." she jokes and sticks out her tongue to the that. typical snotty persian cat,looking so adorable but wont let her touch it. "thats right,furball. whatcha gonna do about it? " she taunts the hole where she saw the cat go in last.

"oooh,thank you." mariko replies when sayyid hands her the glass. while mariko drank like an irish fish and did enough cocaine as to probably be worrying,she always felt like she was in high school and sneaking liquor when drinking with other people her age or younger. "a toast? sayyid,that is way too adult of a thing for me to know how to do!" she giggles and shakes her head. she was sure she was a couple years older than sayyid but she had never toasted to anything ever. "to...um absent friends?" she says meekly while holding up her glass. the only toast she knew of came from the rocky horror picture show.when sayyid sat next to her,she snuggled into the space opened when his arm went behind her. that spot was made for cuddling.

Elyar had heard about a get together to celebrate Weekends new single and Elyar was close with Riley and being a member of the label owned by Weekend he felt it was right for him to head along for a few drinks. However Elyar didn't come along and dragged along his brother Adam to go with him despite his history with certain members of the band.

Elyar went over to Riley and tapped him on the shoulder.

Elyar smile and nods at Riley. "It's going good man, yeah just got here, how are you doing dude?"

"Yeah man got me a drink, a fucking strong one I mean I have reason to celebrate right, I'm number one after all".

Adam was just at the bar drinking away leaving his brother to mingle.

Elyar smiles. "Yeah I am, totally killing the game right now, it nice that you guys are coming back now though too, the new song is a amazing mate".

Danita looks as Dustyn going back and forth with drinks to and from the bar. "Hey you drinking these all by yourself or you have help drinking all of that," she said as she watching him order a Long Island as she is still waiting for her drink. There was a lot of people here maybe even he was here.

Elyar smiles. "Ah that'll be nice to spend some time with your elders, you never know when there last Christmas could be after all". Elyar says. "Oh me...I am going to be spending mine with my parents probably, not sure if Nicolai is with me or Lex yet".
