After all was said and done, the party was set for Monday after classes. Tim, with Coraline's help (
and her pie chart), attended decorating and food for a barbeque, and Dick secured the use of Rock Band the way he did most things: by charming someone else into doing it for him, in this case, Elphaba, with a promise to show her how to play (which she wasn't sure she wanted) if she'd get permission from Roger for them to borrow it. It was the same way he got music for the party: by promising another favor to Helen in exchange for Warrick djing. And how he got more food than Tim had expected: on the grounds that it would make Tim smile, asking Morgan to ask Mohinder to make some. Getting baked goods was easy: Cassie took care of that and bringing Kon to the party. Since Kon was only three technically, Dick didn't arrange alcohol, but he knew several places to get it, later in the evening. That wasn't the plan, however. The plan was for good, clean, indoor-outdoor fun (all right, maybe not so clean, if the wet t-shirt contest he'd been teasing Kon about actually happened).
Tim made flyers on his computer, and printed them on Dairine's printer, and Dick made sure they were placed in strategic locations where people would see them. When Tim wasn't looking, Dick added signs with arrows pointing to the lawn that said "BBQ This Way" and another set that said "Rock Band and Refreshments This Way" pointing to the rec room. Of course, by the time they put the signs up on Monday, that probably wasn't necessary. Dick had invited every person he knew that Kon knew, as well as everyone he knew that Kon didn't know, and told them all to bring anyone they wanted to bring, and he enlisted their smallest "Robin," Coraline, and Cassie to do the same.
Because while it might be Kon's Decanting Day celebration, Kon was, like Dick and Coraline (and not like Tim at all), a people person. He didn't need to know someone to want to spend time with them. He only needed them to be willing to shed their inhibitions and come have a little fun. And today, there should be plenty of fun to be had.
Everyone is invited. See this
