Once upon a time, Poison would have avoided a party like this like the plague. As someone who is naturally solitary the idea of a gathering where she barely knew most of the people would have been the last thing on her mind to attend.
And yet... here she is, hovering over the food with some expression of interest and picking up a few things to put on her plate before she sits down to eat, filling out one of the raffle cards and giving some serious thought to what she might write for her 'interesting fact', and picking up a drink or two throughout the night. She isn't much of a drinker when it comes to alcohol, so she keeps it light, but by the time the party comes to a close she's feeling just a little bit merry and offering to draw people with the sketchbook and pencil she carries everywhere.
She does notice that the music is on a loop after about fifteen minutes of hearing the same intro over and over again, but it's quiet enough that she doesn't mind it. And she will, at least, give the games a look. She finds the air hockey table interesting, asking the nearest person how to play it, and has a good go at fruit ninja too, though she isn't terribly good at it (she still has fun).
Once or twice she'll disappear outside into the hallway to take a breather, but more often than not, she's actually mingling, smiling and laughing, and genuinely having a good time.
