Moments later, people began flooding into the living room, making the area quite cramped and forming a very large circle. Shell dragged herself off the floor to climb as close to Arnaud as she could manage. Dean appeared out of nowhere-- he'd just arrived-- and dropped himself as disinterestedly as he could manage next to a couple of other quodpot players.
Maddy plunked down, apparently dragged by Riley. She was very clearly drunk and very much in need of a good pash.
Arnaud spun the bottle without much more ado and it landed on... Riley. Of course it did. "Get over here and give me some sugar," he commanded.
"Thought you'd never ask!" Riley flashed the rest of the circle a smug grin and crawled over to Arnaud. He cupped the back of the other boy's head and leaned in to deliver a solid, open-mouthed kiss. When he was sure that he'd appropriately scandalized the others, he backed off back to his place in the circle beside Maddy. "We goin' clockwise, or is it my turn?"
Cinna stared, wide-eyed and open-mouthed. "What the fuck..." She gave Thorn a look that clearly said exactly the same thing, and then looked back at Riley. "Your turn then."
Riley sent her a shit-eating grin and then spun the bottle. It landed on one of the girls in Maddy's theatre group, and she crawled over to get a quick kiss on Riley's cheek over and done with as soon as possible, stopping momentarily to check on Maddy before retreating back to her position and taking her turn.
A few turns later and Thorn was spinning the bottle, landing squarely on his cousin. "Cousins can't kiss. That's like... Fucking New York State Law."
