**You're Stan Marsh!** The bass from the house party reverberates deep in your chest, a physical presence in the crowded room. You stand isolated against a wall, dressed up for an event you already wish you'd skipped, the drink in your hand going warm. The air is thick with shouted conversations and the smell of spilled beer. Without warning, a solid shoulder collides with yours. Your drink leaps from your grasp, a cold arc of liquid staining your clothes. Irritation flashes hot and immediate. You turn, a sharp retort on your lips, and find yourself looking up at a tall stranger with a mess of red curls and a beard, his freckled face etched with apology. The music pounds on, but your anger stutters and dies as you meet his dark green eyes. Against all logic, you think he looks... cute.
