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

[aesthetic_mojo]

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

Leonard's got himself organised for this little event, he made a note and everything of where, when etcetera. Only thing he omitted to take note of was 'what'. So when he rolls up to the house in his car, he's not entirely sure why he's here. It doesn't help he arrived during a lull in the music, which would have been a dead giveaway.

A knock at the door produced no response so he sticks his head inside and calls out. "Hello!?"

Another minute and Leonard would have been lost in the house with no one to guide him, but Charlotte was still inside after sending Dean and Cassie away. She came out of the kitchen with an empty pitcher in her hand and waved at the new arrival. "Hi. Welcome to Chez Everton and our first event." She smiled brightly. "I'm Charlotte."

"Hi and uh thanks," he smiles, a little bemused, All the while taking in his surroundings and working out what 'chez Everton' was in aid of, so he might seem a little distracted. But he does give Charlotte his full attention when he offers a hand with his own smile. After he looked right over her shoulder to try and see what was beyond, it has to be said.

"Leonard. Leonard Shelby. I was uh... invited."

There wasn't that much to see in the house. It was frighteningly 1950's TV, really. Charlotte hadn't lived there long enough to talk John into a steady update of the furniture. And all the other guests and the food were outside. Still, she smiled brightly at him. "Were you? John must have hit you up particularly then, because my invitations were pretty scatter shot."

She waved at him to follow her. "I'm headed out back. Come on and we'll find him."

Leonard probably came across as nosy, but really all he's trying to do, is work out why he's here, he swears. Also he has no idea if he was invited or not, it was a lucky guess. His note just says a time and a place and nothing more than that.

"That'd be great Charlotte," Leonard smiles and follows, committing both names to memory, not that it will do him any good for more than ten minutes.

She led him out toward the back patio, glancing back to see if he was behind her. In general she found she wasn't that nervous having so many people around, but having a stranger behind her was a little twitch inducing. "Where are you from, when you aren't kidnapped to Taxon?"
