Jacob was kind of looking forward to this, really. He didn't know Bobby at all, but making new friends was good, and he hadn't really partied or even got together with people since he got here. (That time when the sun went out didn't quite count, given the circumstances.) So he headed over shortly after Bobby made the announcement.

The ice statues were weird, but kind of interesting. It seems someone took a lot of time on them! (Lol, no.) Jacob can't help but check them out...well, after he grabs and drink and finds the host to say hi.

Bobby'd already started on the drinking a bit, but nothing too bad. Mostly because some people he didn't know had said they'd be coming, and he wanted to at least be able to say hello to them before getting any level of intoxicated.

So when he spotted a guy he didn't recognize, Bobby headed over with a smile. "Hey! I'm Bobby."

[icnfly]

Jacob smiles back. "Ah, the birthday boy. Nice to meet you! I'm Jacob...I don't remember if I told you that over the journals or not. I hope you're having a good birthday so far."

[mister_10_below]

"Nice to meet you, too! And you did, but it's good to put a face to the voice and name."

Bobby grinned a bit. "I am, actually. It's almost as good as anything I could have back home."

[icnfly]

"Well that's great." Or doesn't say much about what he'd get at home. "I have to say, I didn't expect the, ah, decor though. How did you manage to get those? They look like they'd take forever and I'm not even sure where you'd get that much ice."

[mister_10_below]

Probably a little bit of both, actually.

It was only then that he remembered, right, not everyone here knew about his abilities. "I made them, actually. In the literal sense, I can create ice."

[icnfly]

Jacob cants his head, its a very bird-like move. "...create ice? Like with magic or something like that?"

[mister_10_below]

Bobby notices, mostly because he's used interacting with people who have odd or animal like behaviors back at home, but doesn't do anything beyond file it away for later.

"Yeah, something like that. Some people here have called it magic, but it's not back in my world. It's a genetics thing."

[icnfly]

"Ah, I didn't know just genetics could do stuff like that...but some magic-things keep to family lines in my world."

[mister_10_below]

"I don't really understand the science of it either, some times. But yeah, it has do with the X-gene, which is passed down from parents to their kids." Then he perked up, looking curious. "You have magic in your world?"

[icnfly]

"Yeah, but I don't really know much about it. Nobody does, its too crazy and wild."

[mister_10_below]

"Weird. Does that mean the people who have it can't control it, then?"

[icnfly]

"Most people don't use it, its more like...a natural force, or something. It does things like change things it touches and make things unpredictable." He scritches his head. "I think some people try, but they don't always have much luck."

[mister_10_below]

Bobby blinks at that, a little surprised. "Wait, so, does that mean anyone could have access to it, if they tried?" It's the first he's heard of an independent magic force, changing things without people intentionally using it to do so.

[icnfly]

"I guess so? I don't really know. I never looked into it much. Mostly I just know it creates hybrids, like my family."

[mister_10_below]

"Huh. I haven't heard of something like that before. Usually when people talk about magic here, it's something only certain people have. That's cool, though."

Bobby pauses, then says, "Okay, I promise I'll stop bugging you with questions soon, but hybrids?"
