Former Heiress

Jenny couldn't help it, her eyes narrowed when Lisbeth spoke and there was an edge to her tone when she replied. "Reactions like yours are why the Gossip Girl takedown didn't stick. Maybe if people stopped enjoying her blasts, she wouldn't be able to ruin so many lives."

Lisbeth smirked at the tone in Jenny's voice. "Maybe." She shrugged as she finished her drink, throwing the solo cup behind her. "Or maybe if people stopped lying and doing horrible things to each other, she wouldn't have anything to post anymore. Just a thought."

"Oh, I'm sure," Caitlyn laughed. She could only imagine that Nate Archibald's jaw was still on the floor from Lisbeth's return. At her clarification, she flashed a grin. "Well then, mark me down as relieved. Does that mean we're doing drinks or...? Don't worry, I can cover it."

Lisbeth grinned at Caitlyn. She wasn't sure anyone was actually safe from what she would do, there were not many lines she wasn't willing to cross. "I know you can, and yes, you definitely will be." She hooked arms with Caitlyn. "Let's find a good club."

"Beep me when she posts something I don't know already," Caitlyn said before rolling her eyes. She was kinda impressed that Lisbeth was at this party. Could someone who had fallen so far really claw their way back to the top? And without all the tools that got her there? (Read: money and cute shoes). She was so interested to find out.

Lisbeth was a former insider, even if she was down bad right now, she would find her way back. She was confident in that fact, if for no other reason than that she was not sure what she would do without being in this world. "Oh, are you that caught up on everyone's hookups?"

"As if there's nothing better to do, Lisbeth," Bella commented from behind her sunglasses and daiquiri. She wasn't going to give anyone the satisfaction of watching her react to whatever slop 'Gossip Girl' was throwing out here. "Enjoying yourself?"

"Then to laugh at others' misfortune. Not at the moment." Lisbeth had never been one to stay angry about a blast, she had done enough wrong to deserve it. Gossip Girl was definitely her karma more than once. "Always, and you seem to be as well."

"How quickly everyone forgets that the bitch is watching," Gigi mused with a poorly suppressed grin. Her journey to being a better person aside, she couldn't help still lowkey loving Gossip Girl. The drama was just too good! "Are we gagged or nah?"

"I never forget, just past caring. Plus, she seems to like me right now." Lisbeth had always been on Gossip Girl, and she couldn't lie, she didn't mind it. Nothing she had ever posted did anything to her beyond a bit of annoyance. "Definitely gagged, which one is your favorite reveal?"

"No, I think you're far better than that. Classy and cutthroat to the very end, Lissy. I doubt that's changed so much even given the circumstances." Robbie also doubted that Lisbeth Castillo was on the verge of opening up or looking for any shoulders to cry on. Backs to stab, maybe. "Well, that's mandatory. Most of us are lucky to make it out without getting cut off nevermind... anything else."

"Can't forget those parts, they might be hard-wired in. Even when I am dealing with people not on my level." Lisbeth had always been a bit better at hiding her worst sides. But at this point, she had nothing left to hide, and no one she was worried about impressing. "Guess I drew the short straw, plus our inadequate council."

Nate was trying not to bring down the vibe... it wasn't really working. He appreciated that Juliette had put a lot of work into this party, he just didn't wanna be here. Jesse might have been the main man tonight, but there were still whispers following Nate around like a shadow. The last person he expected to see here was Lisbeth. He couldn't help perking up when she appeared though. They were still at some party, but at least she was talking to him.

Lisbeth could tell Nate wasn't having a good time, this wasn't his scene. Especially because most of the people at this party were judging Nate, something she understood. She had spent most of the past year thinking about how many ways she had been wronged by her father and the Archibalds. Even with all that built-up anger, she still found herself feeling bad for Nate, some part of her still cared about him.

"Vanessa is certainly a choice..." Blair muttered the words to herself as she read the blast about Chuck and Vanessa for the fourth time. His actions had no affect on her; absolutely none. Chuck could do whatever and whoever he liked, but why did her friends keep insisting on slumming it with the Brooklynites?

"Why the long face, B?" Lisbeth smirked. She had heard Blair talking to herself. No one should be surprised that Chuck Bass slept with Vanessa, it wasn't exactly breaking news. Throw a rock at this party, and you could find someone else who had.

"Gossip Girl isn't the only messy bitch here," Zach chimed in, appearing at Lisbeth's side with his sunglasses on to hide his disappointment. When the fuck was Gossip Girl going to talk about him? "Oh, hey, Lisbeth. I didn't see you there."

Lisbeth rolled her eyes as Zach appeared, somehow he always found her. It would almost be cute if it wasn't cramping her comeback. He was not the company she kept in the best of times. "Sure, you didn't. I see a messy, desperate one right now."

"Okay?" Tripp scoffed, entirely offended. "Okay!? No, unacceptable. The vase distracted me, try again."

Lisbeth smirked as the offense was clear. "Are you sure? I would hate to ruin my childhood crush on you even more." She pouted at him. "You think you can do better?"

"it wouldn't be a complete night out if you haven't found a fight. hey, what fun is it to always fight alone"

"You get me, I love it." She wrapped an arm around Agnes. "Let's go get some guys to buy us drinks."

"Touché," William chuckled. He'd almost forgotten how sharp she could be and how enjoyable. William had never reached out to the Castillos after they had fallen from on high but he also hadn't been much involved to begin with. Lisbeth had bigger enemies to crush than him. "Well, I look forward to watching you work. As you may remember, I can be quite good for a favour or two... No money necessary."

Lisbeth enjoyed William. She didn't consider many people on her level of deviousness; Chuck and Blair were definitely up there too. But there was something special about William, you could never see what thing he would get up to next. "I am sure you will. For a favor back, I remember the deal. I might need some help, but not sure how your girlfriend would like you helping me go after her cousin." Lisbeth had kept on Gossip Girl, she knew that he had been spending time with Juliette Vanderbilt.

He pulled back just a little, "Okay, you can't just kiss me to make me forget you broke my family's antique vase." Actually, they could. They definitely could.

Lisbeth smirked up at him. "Oh no? I am a really good kisser, and you are okay. I think we can trick that brain into forgetting."

where there's life in a party, there will be agnes andrews. a woman always hellbent on having a good time, she was in her element in the hamptons. chilling with a drink in her hand, in the sun and surrounded by other people who were out for a good time really was the vibe

Lisbeth had somehow been invited to Juliette's party. She still wasn't sure how it had happened. But she wasn't one to turn down a party invitation, especially these days. She had no intention of flirting with Jesse, but she did have things planned.
