A park near the Skywalker apartment [all day]

Jun 12, 2011 12:57

Rory was clinging to her cup of coffee like a life raft. There was, of course, an area with pony rides, and an inflatable castle for kids to bounce around in, and typical playground equipment. There was a cake, and little kid snacks -- as well, of course, as coffee and grownup food for the adults ( Read more... )

Arrive/Mingle! auroryborealis June 12 2011, 16:57:50 UTC

Even if the guest of honor is only two, there's still mingling.

It took great observational skills to notice the arrival of one certain set of parents-and-child.

"JUUUULIEEEEEEET!"

Or not. Look, Jan had been taught to stay very very quiet while they were in transit, and she was going to abuse the fact she could get loud without scolding again as hard as she could.

Cable mostly looked vaguely exasperated. Or amused. Or watchful. One of the three, or maybe all of them.

"...we're taking everyone into space for Jan's party." Deadpool had a very healthy sense of competition.

Nate shot him a wry look. "I think that might be a problem..." he said, "...unless the island decides differently. Might be a space summer."

Re: Arrive/Mingle! mouthy_merc June 12 2011, 17:20:16 UTC

"Your grandpa is a space pirate," Deadpool insisted. "I'm sure it'll work."

A beat.

"Unless he's still dead. Is he still dead?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle! spring_lost June 12 2011, 17:23:38 UTC

"I'm pretty sure he's still dead," Nate agreed, "But I'll shoot off an email if you really want to find out."

Sometimes, Nate thought he was funny.

Re: Arrive/Mingle! mouthy_merc June 12 2011, 17:26:54 UTC

"Oh, you kooky Summers," Deadpool replied dismissively. "At least you're not a vampire."

Re: Arrive/Mingle! spring_lost June 12 2011, 17:30:11 UTC

"There is that..."

Nate observed the kids for a few moments, then added, "The vampire problem isn't that big at the moment. Here or elsewhere..."

Re: Arrive/Mingle! mouthy_merc June 12 2011, 17:33:23 UTC

"But it's annoying."

Re: Arrive/Mingle! spring_lost June 12 2011, 17:34:52 UTC

"I didn't realise you had such a problem with vampires." Beat. "Though the ashes are hard to wash out of spandex."

Re: Arrive/Mingle! mouthy_merc June 12 2011, 17:36:59 UTC

"I blame SMeyer," Deadpool replied seriously. "And you making jokes is weirdin' me out, Nate. If this is your way of saying you're a vampire and I'm the teenage girl whose job it is to kill your kind, but we've found love in a time of cholera..."

A beat.

"Wait, that last part is a different genre."

Re: Arrive/Mingle! spring_lost June 12 2011, 17:38:36 UTC

"I wasn't joking about that last one," Nate said. Simply.

Completely stone-faced, so who knew if he was kidding?

Re: Arrive/Mingle! mouthy_merc June 12 2011, 17:40:53 UTC

"...you're an evil man."

Re: Arrive/Mingle! spring_lost June 12 2011, 17:46:58 UTC

"I thought you were firmly anti-vampire," Nate said. "Shouldn't get worried about some ashes..."

Re: Arrive/Mingle! mouthy_merc June 12 2011, 17:49:20 UTC

"No more SyFy channel watching with Jan when you think I'm at work!"

Re: Arrive/Mingle! spring_lost June 12 2011, 17:54:04 UTC

"Jan likes monster movies," Nate said, unapologetically. "Some of them are even tactically interesting."

Which is to say Nate was totally using them as an educational tool about beating shit up.
