<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/sMfQPm0.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Xander Madar (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=281599.msg13847336#msg13847336)<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Pictured + black converses.<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Hilton Hotel Ballroom<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Juliet, Tanner, Evion, Richard, Simon (temporary NPC), Open<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Richard then showed up, bringing Juliet a drink, before cheerfully greeting his high school friends with a playful jab. He then looked at Juliet, greeted her as well and complimented her looks. Conversational banalities, Xander admitted, but necessities in the context. He had lost contact with Richard and pretty much everyone else right after high school, and since he wasn't on social media, he didn't know about Elisabeth's passing. Glancing around Richard, he expected her to show up with him, and as he was about to inquire about her whereabouts to Richard, Tanner saved him from a possible disaster.<br/><br/>Tanner didn't seem to take that well Richard's banter, claiming Juliet could take care of herself, and she was probably more intelligent than all of the guys combined.<em>Her knight in shining armor,</em>Xander thought, amused by Tanner's reaction. Maybe he was only like that because of Juliet, Xander wasn't sure. He seemed to calm himself down quickly though, revealing he was doing well for himself, and even started a coffee shop in town called The Cloud.<br/><br/>"Oh, that's cool man, maybe I'll come by tomorrow before heading back to the city, see what it's like," Xander told Tanner, 'the city' referring to New York City, obviously.<br/><br/>Tanner then turned towards Evion, apparently not having recognized him yet, claiming he was a regular who always ordered the same thing and sat at the same place, before asking for his name.<br/><br/>"Wait, you really don't recognize him?" Xander asked with a chuckle.<br/><br/>He then looked at Juliet and her drink and felt thirsty for one, remembering what he had told Katie moments earlier. "I'll go get myself a drink, I'll see you guys later," Xander announced before walking away.<br/><br/>On his way to the bar, he was approached by some cheerful guy he recalled was in the football team. He glanced quickly at the name tag, reading the name Simon.<br/><br/>"Hey! You're George, right?" he asked, a hand on Xander's shoulder. The guy was massive and in the way...<br/><br/>"Absolutely," Xander replied, smiling back. "How have you been, Simon?"<br/><br/>"Good, good," he said. "Man, you changed A LOT."<br/><br/>"I sure did," Xander replied, moving past him. "I really need a drink, man, I'll see you around."<br/><br/>"Alright, George, take care," Simon said, walking away himself towards a group of people.<br/><br/><em>Who the fuck is George?</em>Xander wondered as he reached the bar, noticing the amalgam of people in front of him.
