Super Bowl Party, #52 Blueberry Hill, Sunday

Feb 01, 2009 01:17

Everything was set for the big game. In the family room, there was plenty of place to sit around the flat-screen TV for those who wanted to watch the game. And for those who didn't care to watch, there were plenty of seating areas on the deck and the covered wrap-around porch. In the dining room, there was a magnificent spread of food, from chips, ( Read more... )

Chuck, surprisingly enough, showed up. He'd promised Sarah a date, after all. They were keeping up appearances, as always. Looked like everything was getting right back to normal with her here.

There was a very large part of him that wished this was more than just a cover date to her. That was nothing new, of course.

Still, that wouldn't stop him from enjoying being here as it was for now. He snagged a drink and a handful of snacks from the table, and tried to mingle, as best he could.

Mary smiled warmly at Chuck. "Hi! Enjoying yourself so far?" she asked.

Re: Pre-Game/Arrive/Mingle & Eat thenerdherder February 2 2009, 14:41:24 UTC

Chuck offered a grin in return. "I am," he told her. "This is your party, isn't it?" He only really knew this because she seemed to be running around organising. Way to know your host beforehand, Chuck.

Jarod had a plate with a little bit of everything. Currently, he was sampling each and every dip and chip combination.

Woah spicy! He gasped when he put a spicy chip with hot sauce on it into his mouth.

Re: Pre-Game/Arrive/Mingle & Eat thenerdherder February 2 2009, 14:42:28 UTC

"Not a spicy eater?" Chuck guessed, leaning to snag a glass of water from a nearby table, just in case the guy wanted it. So helpful.

Re: Pre-Game/Arrive/Mingle & Eat notreallya February 3 2009, 01:44:02 UTC

"Not until today." Jarod said, accepting the glass. "There wasn't a lot of variety in my diet for most of my life."

"Hey! How's it goin?" Murdock popped his head out of the kitchen for a bit to greet some of the guests.

Re: Pre-Game/Arrive/Mingle & Eat thenerdherder February 2 2009, 14:43:36 UTC

"It's going well," Chuck replied with a nod. "Good... wings," he added after a moment. See, he'd improved so much at the socialising side of all this.

Re: Pre-Game/Arrive/Mingle & Eat nam_flyer February 4 2009, 12:30:28 UTC

"Sweet," he grinned. "Don't think we've met yet. I'm Murdock."

Re: Pre-Game/Arrive/Mingle &amp; Eat thenerdherder February 4 2009, 12:33:02 UTC

"Chuck," he introduced in return, offering the guy a smile. "Hey. It's uh, nice to meet you."

"Nice party," he added, a moment later.

Re: Pre-Game/Arrive/Mingle &amp; Eat nam_flyer February 4 2009, 12:41:40 UTC

"Glad ya like it. First party I've thrown in a while. Didn't have much of an opportunity before. So what you do Chuck?"

Any lack of conversation on Chuck's part could quite possibly be made up for by Murdock. Sometimes, he just didn't know when to stop talking.

Re: Pre-Game/Arrive/Mingle &amp;amp; Eat thenerdherder February 4 2009, 12:45:06 UTC

Chuck sometimes had that problem too. Just get him onto a topic he's comfortable with and watch him go.

"I used to teach computing at the school," he replied. "Now I'm more a study hall sub-in. Make sure no one breaks anything, or gets into a food fight. They usually don't. Which is nice. Makes the job easy."

He also rambles. That too.

"What do you do?"

Re: Pre-Game/Arrive/Mingle &amp;amp; Eat nam_flyer February 4 2009, 12:49:06 UTC

Oooh, rambling! Murdock could be a professional rambler if there was such a thing.

"I fly," he stated matter of factly with a nod. "Right now, I'm teachin' it. It's fun. Specially in that SERF thingy. I got a plane out in the garage, but it don't work right yet."

Re: Pre-Game/Arrive/Mingle & Eat thenerdherder February 4 2009, 12:53:05 UTC

"I really want to know how that thing works," Chuck shared. "The SERF," he clarified. "Not that knowing how planes work isn't very neat too. Just-- not as much my thing."

Giant virtual reality thing? SO Chuck's cup of tea.

Re: Pre-Game/Arrive/Mingle & Eat nam_flyer February 4 2009, 13:31:46 UTC

"How the heck does that thing work anyway? I never really thought about it much. Well... I did, but then I got distracted by class."

Distracted by shiny aircraft is more like it.

"I could show ya how planes work. Oooh, maybe we could figure out how the SERF works." And possibly break it.
