Mr. Mumble and the Mysterious Floating Cocktails

I chose the sentence,"A tray of cocktails floated at us through the twilight, and we sat down at a table with two girls in yellow and three men, each one introduced to us as Mr. Mumble." This sentence includes the strange imagery of the cocktails but also tells us a lot about the characters of the two girls in yellow by simply showing how they introduced the three men. They introduced the men in order to get that portion of the conversation out of the way so that they could start talking about themselves.

The stack of poker chips drifted between those of us sitting around the table, and I finally stood up with empty pockets and multiple messages on my phone, each message telling me to remember my appointment at mumble AM.
