Darling Party!, The Park, Wednesday Evening

[stars_and_money]

The Darling twins were turning eighteen today, and thus crossing the threshold into legal adulthood. While that may have been a terrifying thought to some, it also meant that there was going to be a huge freaking party because they were Darlings and no special occasion could get past them without a huge deal being made out of it. So after sundown

Arrive!/Mingle! [10/24]

Realize you've come to a party thrown by rich people! Wonder what the birthday boy and girl look like because you've never met them!

Well, let it not be said Atton wouldn't exploit a chance to get some drinks and maybe repress that the weekend ever happened. Okay, it might turn out to be an exercise for his fake-fake-ID, but hey.

He wandered in and didn't even bother to look for the birthday people in particular.

Meanwhile Peter was trying to rack his political lizard brain for the identities of the party-throwers. After all, this was an excellent moment to do some networking for his superpowered-bodyguards plan.

He'd even put his phone in his pocket for once.

Sia couldn't stay long, as she'd promised Jessica distractions, but she wasn't going to miss her roommate's birthday party. And living with Juliet meant the party didn't exactly surprise her, but she definitely appreciated the work that had gone into it.

"Thank you for coming," Juliet said, sincerely. "Have you seen the cake yet? It's amazing."

"I did, and it's very impressive," Sia smiled. "Happy birthday."

"And thanks again," Juliet said. "It's weird, being 18. I don't feel much more grown up than I did yesterday."

"It'll probably sink in more once you've done... whatever it's legal to do here when you turn eighteen. Vote, or something?"

Of course that was the one thing Sia knew you could do when you were legal.

"We could vote, but I didn't register," Juliet said, without an ounce of shame. The paperwork to vote absentee had just seemed like a hassle, and anyhow politics bored her. "But I might buy a lotto ticket or a pack of cigarettes, just because I can now."

"I don't have to ask you not to smoke in the room, right?" Sia checked. Vitor was still a baby, after all.

"No, I hate the smell," Juliet said firmly. "And you have a puppy. It'd be a prop only."

Jim, being Juliet's little sibling and all, wasn't really surprised to see a party of hers decked out like this. It made him chuckle a bit but he figured if he had money, he'd spoil himself too.

He figured he'd make a run by the table of presents, drop his gift off and then wander back over to grab a drink and see who else was at the party.

"This is a little more my kind of party," Karolina admitted by way of greeting as she wandered over. "You know, than the fall break party?"

Re: Arrive!/Mingle! [10/24]

"What makes this party a little more up your alley?" Jim asked, glancing around. "Is it the massive, enormous cake that you can stuff your face with?"

Re: Arrive!/Mingle! [10/24]

Karolina shook her head with a little laugh, then shrugged. "It's just more civilized," she said. Then, realizing that could sound bad, reconsidered and added, "I mean, it's not like I judged the other party or anything. This is just more what I'm used to."

"So, you think I favor uncivilized parties, huh?" Jim asked, amused. She'd corrected herself and he wasn't offended but he couldn't not latch onto it. "It makes me sound like...a barbarian."
