At least once more, Miss Swan.: Party Psychology.

Alright, so I'm a nerd. You caught me. But I simply had to write this post.

Welcome to Party Psych 101. Alternative name: Gatsby 101.

I once had a dear friend tell me how much enjoyed seeing people intoxicated because it showed their true selves. At the time I disagreed. My point being that we all try so hard to put up our little façade and I wouldn't wish the destruction of that comfy cozy shell of a faux life that most of us lead.

That view point has changed. Because as the psychoanalytical nerd I am, being able to rip off that level of protection to see the real person underneath is an nigh-impossibility. Of course that all changes when the red cups come out.

So far here are the characters I have discerned from previous events:

The Captain:

The so-called controller of the festivities. Seems to keep everything running fairly smoothly. Cuts people off. The protector, etc. etc. Basically without The Captain the whole thing would go to absolute fucking shit because everyone would be so unreasonably far gone that everyone would die. That may be an exaggeration, but…ja feel?

The First Mate:

Lines frequently said by The First Mate:

"LOLOLOLOLOL OHMERGAEWD AHAHA…wait what."

"Oh godddz vat is going on?"

"Ayyyyeee. Ayyyee. Wait, are we going downstairs now?"

I could go on, but I think you understand. The First Mate seems to be attempting to help the captain. But well….they're a little fuzzy on the whole reality thing. Don't worry they'll be fine in the morning.

The Madame:

A personal favorite of mine. The Madame. He or she, for some indiscernible reason likes to pair people up at parties. Not subtly..obviously. At first it's kind of endearing, the whole "You should totally be together." But three hours later when The Madame is whoring one of you out to the other it gets kinda weird….

The Warden:

The keeper of the keys so to speak. They are in charge of the goods and who gets them, usually given this duty by The Captain. They work to keep a sort of checks-and-balances thing going on. If The Captain should fall prey to the situation, The Warden steps up. As much as this seems like a good idea, it usually fails because well this happens…

The Countess:

The Countess starts out as all fun and games, but slowly and then very very quickly they become the biggest pain in the ass you've ever met. They absorb every bit of self-importance, righteousness, and vanity that they've been repressing. They then proceed to release it all at once. Funny, if you're not the target. The Countess loses friends in the morning…if they remember what she said.

The Crew:

The Crew requires very little explanation. They're the people who populate the party but have no discernible presence. Although they all have their attributes displayed below…..
