Honolulu Heights, Friday

So several people had been promised a housewarming party - and George had managed to convince Mitchell not to invite everyone in the whole neighbourhood, so chances were it might not even end in disaster - which would double as a 'welcome back, Annie!' party ( Read more... )

Arrive! chose_humanity February 24 2012, 11:53:34 UTC

Turn up on the doorstep, offer gifts, or just well-wishes, or, hell, some snark.

Whoever answered the door was greeted with a pretty damn enthusiastic "Hiiiii" when Kate showed up, work SP-y Bod in tow. And could you blame her? Things seemed to be going okay this week, for everyone. Hell, even Moosh's short film had been accepted to a thing in New York. So, she was acting happy.

She also had a wrapped housewarming gift in her hands, while she'd given the frankly mandatory wine bottle for Bod to carry.

Re: Arrive! chose_humanity February 24 2012, 13:31:33 UTC

Whoever answered the door... would be Mitchell, grinning and all. "Hey, you," he said, and Bod got a no less-enthusiastic, "Bod, right?" with a chill nod of his head.

Re: Arrive! nimeni February 24 2012, 22:50:00 UTC

"Yes," Bod said, nodding and...carrying the wine like a professional. "It's a pleasure to see you again. Thank you for inviting me."

Re: Arrive! vanillajello February 24 2012, 22:56:22 UTC

"He means 'hiiii'," Kate translated. Because that was totally what he'd meant. "We come bearing gifts!"

And this was obviously where she held her gift out for Mitchell. When unwrapped, it would turn out to be six bowls made out of vinyl records ('70s and '80s pop), and a set of matching coasters.

Re: Arrive! nimeni February 24 2012, 22:58:16 UTC

"And I've wine," Bod said, holding it up in case Mitchell hadn't seen said wine. "I didn't pick it out so I do hope Kate picked the right bottle."

Re: Arrive! chose_humanity February 25 2012, 06:13:03 UTC

"Does it have alcohol in it? Because we're not very discerning drinkers," Mitchell said, flashing Bod a grin as he accepted Kate's gift. "Come in, both of you," he added, stepping aside to let them in.

Re: Arrive! vanillajello February 25 2012, 11:10:46 UTC

Kate snickered. "It's got alcohol, don't worry," she said as she moved to go past Mitchell, then stopped briefly to reach up and try and kiss him on the cheek, because her good mood and affection for people would not and could not be contained.

It was a party, people!

In the week leading up to the party, Jack finally got himself out of New York and, reluctantly, back to the version of 2012 London he'd called home before the whole recent mess started. He'd found a place to live, was most of the way to a job. And now: Time to hop universes again for a few hours.

Not that he was remotely tempted to miss it. He smiled on the doorstep, if a bit tentatively, and carried the bottle of 1902 Russian vodka he'd saved for a a housewarming gift.

"Hello!"

Re: Arrive! chose_humanity February 24 2012, 14:08:04 UTC

"Hey, Jack," Mitchell said. Enthusiastic tone, slightly-manic smile on his face; Jack really had nothing to fear about his reception here today, at least not from him. "Glad you could make it, come on in."

Re: Arrive! bitten_notshy February 24 2012, 14:13:38 UTC

"It's not too far," Jack said, grinning back. The manic smile helped, even if the energy level behind it was a bit daunting.

He stepped inside. "Thanks for having us. Oh -- this is for you," he said, proffering the bottle. "There was a side trip to Russia earlier."

Re: Arrive! chose_humanity February 24 2012, 14:17:35 UTC

Mitchell accepted the bottle, and gave it a good look. He... was not a vodka critic, but it deserved a moment of consideration. "Nineteen... twenty?" he read. "Is that anywhere near when you landed, or is it just arbitrary?"

Re: Arrive! bitten_notshy February 24 2012, 14:37:57 UTC

"Flip the digits," Jack advised. "1902. I had a last favor to do for Sebastien."

A shrug. "He ended up staying." He said it lightly -- it probably was for the best anyhow, and Jack had most of a month to get over it -- but it wasn't an easy thing.

Re: Arrive! chose_humanity February 24 2012, 14:39:33 UTC

Mitchell nodded, shutting the door behind him. "You think he's going to stay there for good?" he asked.

Re: Arrive! bitten_notshy February 24 2012, 14:52:25 UTC

"'I have a habit of not dying, cariño'," Jack said, in brief imitation of Sebastien's voice before he glanced back to Mitchell. "His theory is he'll live another century then find me when he can. I checked as much as I could -- wherever he is these days, he's not leaving tracks."

Which meant ... precisely nothing, with Sebastien.

"And -- on a related note -- there's a vampire even older than he is in Moscow. Or was, anyhow."

Re: Arrive! chose_humanity February 24 2012, 14:55:59 UTC

"Moscow, yeah?" Mitchell said, as he walked into the living room to deposit George's bottle on the bar. "That's something. Our Old Ones like it a bit warmer."
