Anniversary Party - Open RP

[head_psychic]

Shawn has taken care of absolutely everything. There are flowers and drinks and different types of music. There is food and loads of pineapples. All that stuff that either shouldn't break or demands too much space is simply out of the way and it actually looks very different if you know what it looks like originallyStill, the pin-ball machine is at

He wandered around out front at first, come from work in his usual blue-themed suit and tie combo. What was he even doing here? Lassiter knew better than to come to an event thrown by the department's ersatz psychic, but for some reason he couldn't keep away. Maybe there'd be a Wii. Spencer and Guster seemed the type to keep one around... He was definitely ready to pound someone into the ground with his Wiimotes. Show them a real time in boxing. Give them a real what for.

Dignity assuaged, Carlton Lassiter made his way confidently into the place, disconcerted to see he was so far the only guest (aside from a rather unwilling looking Mr. Spencer off to the side, whom he did his best to ignore). He covered up his uncertainty by asking loudly, "Spencer, what are you celebrating? Do I want to know?"

[ooc: You said open, so... Here I am, spoiling the party with Mr. Grumpypants. XD Hope this is okay! And are we going with a multiple realities thing...?]

"Lassy!" Spotting their first real guest so far Shawn beams at the detective and curses inwardly that he doesn't have camera anywhere nearby because this? Lassiter not having read the invitations that were spread around and not knowing what's going on? This is going to be awesome and almost worth all the stress of the whole situation.

"Of course you want to know, because how would you be able to congratulate us if you didn't? Well, you could still congratulate us but it would be half-heartedly. Are you a half-hearted man? I like to think different. And I can sense - so do you." He raises the hand with the wedding ring, proud mischief all written over his face. Screw the camera, he will remember the look on the detective's face anyway.

"Me and Gus. It's our tenth anniversary!"

(ooc: Lmao! That's totally fine! Open RPs tend to be very multiple reality anyway! Welcome to the party. XD)

Somehow, that just didn't compute. Witty retorts died on his lips. He'd always known they seemed, well, closer than any two healthy straight men had a right to be, but anniversary?

"Is this a joke?" he asked, eyes starting to narrow suspiciously as he recovered. "You can't expect me to..." The initial ending of that sentence died before it began. What if it wasn't a joke? He didn't want to come across as a homophobe. But friends don't have anniversaries. At least, his friends had never had one with him. "To offer you a present or anything," he finally settled on, adding a sarcastic twist.

"Oh Lassy, you being here is present enough! Really, it means a lot! I am touched, like a teenage girl watching the OC. While being lovesick and probably a little drunk." Shawn grinned at Lassiter, enjoying how the detective was obviously searching for words.

"Do you want a drink? We have homemade pineapple punch. And it's delicious."

[colonel_lassi]

Lassiter stared at him flatly. If he didn't know this wasn't one massive prank on him...

"I'm not drinking your punch, Spencer, and I'm not here to entertain you. Although..." He looked both ways. "You don't happen to have a Wii around, do you?" he asked in a hushed voice.

[head_psychic]

"A Wii?" Shawn looked at Lassiter quizzically. Well, that was an odd question.

"We got our X-box ready because we're still on that damn Halo Map... but if you're a Wiinatic I'm sure we could organize something."
