[location: John Everton's House] [OPEN TO ALL!] BLOCK PARTY!!!

Jul 03, 2009 19:39

The time had come. Charlotte left John in charge of setting up the bar, giving him only the one request that he have a decent selection of beer, and did the work of dialing up the food. She knew she was going way over board. For all she knew no one might show up, even though she'd gotten a bit of a response to her invite. How could people ( Read more... )

In due time, a slightly befuddled looking fellow with a tray of brownies arrives. When in doubt, bring dessert and smile, right?

Charlotte was disentangling a kitten from her hair when the man arrived with brownies. She held the squirming black furball out from her with a groan, then smiled at the man. "Hi. Welcome to the party." Al, the kitten, vanished out of Charlotte's hand, leaving her standing there like an idiot. "What've you got?"

Re: JARVIS emergentfaculty July 4 2009, 03:20:27 UTC

"Hello, I don't think we've been properly introduced, I'm Jarvis and I've brought brownies. I hope that's all right? I made sure they're the sort without nuts, just to be on the safe side." The tone and cadence of his voice is lovely, but there's still something fundamentally 'off' about his body language.

JARVIS aesthetic_mojo July 4 2009, 03:51:57 UTC

"That's lovely." Charlotte waved him closer. "Brownies are always welcome at a party. I'm Charlotte."

The oddness of him didn't strike her as dangerous, so she only watched him rather than putting up any wards. "There's food, drink, and comfy places to sit. Everything a party could need." Including, possibly, the first non-human, but Charlotte just wasn't sure.

"It's been a while since I've had the chance to get out and mingle, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it." He's watched enough parties, and Tony Stark's parties at that, to know how to survive even a Worst Case Scenario.1

"Is there anything or anyone else I ought to know about?"

She took the brownies from him and set them with the other sweets a she looked around for John. She pointed him out with a smile. "That's John. It's his house we are defiling this evening. And if you have complaints about the music, talk to Dean." She pointed him out as well. "Beyond that? Oh! Watch out for the kittens."

JARVIS emergentfaculty July 4 2009, 05:41:25 UTC

"Check, John and defilement, Dean and complaints, kittens and avoidance. I ought to be able to remember that." And beat Kasparov at chess without batting an e-eyelash.

He might have had the order right, but she had a feeling his comprehension was a little low. Particularly where the kittens were concerned. Oh, well, he'd learn the first time one popped up in his lap and asked for a treat. "In that case, I release you on the party. Have fun."

JARVIS emergentfaculty July 4 2009, 15:52:48 UTC

"Thank you, I really appreciate it, and if, after the party is over, you need any help cleaning up, let me know?" Just because Jarvis has a shiny new body, doesn't mean he's lost the need to buttle.

JARVIS aesthetic_mojo July 4 2009, 16:21:24 UTC

Charlotte chuckled. Got one signed up and she wasn't even trying. "Oh, rest assured, I'll let you know. I will be absolutely sure to let you know."

John walked over to where Charlie and JARVIS were, grinning. He came in just in time to hear the offer of helping clean up. "Of course we'd love the help."

He offered his hand to JARVIS. "Hello. I'm John, your other host for this little party."

Re: JARVIS emergentfaculty July 5 2009, 16:58:57 UTC

"A pleasure to meet you, John. I'm Jarvis." There's a slight hesitation before he takes the hand and shakes, but once he's done that, there's a momentary flash of happiness. Look, he's done it right!

JARVIS lapsedsaint July 5 2009, 17:02:08 UTC

John grinned right back at him. "Pleasure to meet you too, Jarvis." Smiling at Charlie, he continued to the other man. "Thank you for coming. Charlie's gotten herself a great turn out."

Re: JARVIS emergentfaculty July 5 2009, 17:04:07 UTC

"I have to admit, this is all very new for me. I've never been out to a party before." He's watched plenty of them, but for the moment he's limited to what little information he can gather through this weird, squishy peripheral.

JARVIS lapsedsaint July 5 2009, 17:07:26 UTC

Now this was something John could relate to. "The last party I was at was probably twenty years ago." He looked around at the people not stoned out of their minds. "And it was nothing like this. This is downright civilized."

JARVIS emergentfaculty July 5 2009, 17:11:34 UTC

"That sounds a bit more like what I've been used to seeing, although I've never attended as a guest." He pauses and tries to figure out how best to phrase this, "Before coming here, I worked in service, of a sort."
