They say it's your birthday... [party post - open to all!]

[erudite_actor]

As a reminder, this party will be like the V-Day orgy or Pirate Day event in that it’s IC, but does not affect the game. It’s just a chance for everyone to have a little fun and celebrate a very special day!Chris took a last look around his apartment, making sure everything was in place. He’d been out of town for the past week, so most of the day

Spock thought this was a ridiculous idea, especially given the time and place. He was a Vulcan. How well did they think he would mingle with these humans given that fact?

So he had brought Yontaya with him, told her where they would be going, and expected her to follow as he stepped up to the address. After reaching out to press the button he assumed was the doorbell, Spock looked down at Yontaya rubbing her cheek against his leg, and then at the package in his hands. He had been told this was a birthday party, and understood well enough that gifts were usually presented at such events.

It did not occur, for more than several seconds, certain gifts he had been given for previous birthdays.

Zach snorted at Chris' words. How the two of them ended up in this joke together, Zach had no idea, specially if Chris hadn't known he was coming. Maybe he shouldn't have sent that text early to give Chris a heads up that he was coming.

"Yea, yea. I bet it's James T. Kirk right now, following along behind his Bones." Zach flipped the lock on the door and opened it up, peering outside.

His eyes met matching dark eyes across the doorway, and he could feel his mouth go dry and the laugh die in his throat. Slanted eyebrows, pointed ears, somewhat ridiculous bowl haircut that somehow looked very Vulcan, and his own defined featured he had seen in the mirror above the makeup table on set day after day for a few years.

"Spock."

[cso_spock]

"Correct." At least he didn't have to introduce himself to this one, as disconcerting as the meeting already was. "I assume you are Mister Quinto."

Spock thrust out the rectangular box towards Quinto. "This is not intended for you, but as you have already been inside this residence, you should know where similar items are being stored."

The hoodie and the white shirt...Spock was glad that he had taken advantage of merely wearing his uniform. If there were too formal, the command shirt could be discarded, and it would draw less attention than that ensemble.

[sassyspock]

Zach numbly took the box, stepping aside to let Spock (SPOCK!) inside. His head was still trying to wrap around the fact that right in front of him was the character he had helped to re-invent, had given face to, had seen in the mirror dozens of times.

It was his voice. His eyes. He just needed to be in costume and makeup and he would have bet Noah that they would have looked identical.

He slowly looked over to Ka- no. No, Leonard McCoy standing across the room. "This is impossible," he whispered quietly, but slowly started to grin after shoving aside the idea that his plane had actually crashed on the way to California and he was dead. "This is awesome!"

[erudite_actor]

Chris would have laughed at the expression on Zach's face, but the sight of Spock following him into the room made him hesitate. He examined the two of them closely, his eyes darting back and forth as he took in the resemblance, aware of McCoy at his side doing the same. "... Damn," he said under his breath. Remembering his manners, Chris set the bottle of blue liquor down and stepped forward. "Hello, I'm Chris." He started to extend his hand but stopped, uncharacteristically awkward.

Something at Spock's feet caught his attention, and Chris looked down, seeing a small cat peering back up at him. "And who's this?" He crouched down, looking at her with interest... oh. "Zach, where's Noah?" This could be interesting.

[vulcans_purr]

{smell like bright-as-sun}

{peer up}

{look like too}

{...}

{dark-sweet?}

mewl?

[sassyspock]

"I, um, I'm not sure." A cat wasn't going to go over very well. Zach looked at Spock again, mouthing something inappropriate, then looked around for his mutt.

Spock watched all of this with some amusement but also some concern, and then stepped between them once it started getting violent.

"Her name is Yontaya." He informed the onlookers, bending down to pick her up. She was getting heavier. "She does not appreciate over-affectionate canids. I apologize for the disruption."

[noah_q]

[AWWW DADDY WANT KITTY KITTY GOOD BOY PLAY WITH KITTY DA-]

"Noah, come here!" Zach reached down and grabbed Noah's collar, hauling him back away from the cat he so wanted to play with. "I'm sorry, he's just excited." He was apologizing to Spock. That whole thought was impossible and amazing at the same time.

[erudite_actor]

Chris watched the exchange with barely suppressed glee. Still, he didn't want there to be any trouble between the animals.

"You want to put Noah in the office, let him chill out for a while?" Chris offered. "That bed and the toys you left the last time I sat for him are still in there."
