A park near the Skywalker apartment [all day]

Jun 12, 2011 12:57

Rory was clinging to her cup of coffee like a life raft. There was, of course, an area with pony rides, and an inflatable castle for kids to bounce around in, and typical playground equipment. There was a cake, and little kid snacks -- as well, of course, as coffee and grownup food for the adults ( Read more... )

Arrive/Mingle! auroryborealis June 12 2011, 16:57:50 UTC

Even if the guest of honor is only two, there's still mingling.

It took great observational skills to notice the arrival of one certain set of parents-and-child.

"JUUUULIEEEEEEET!"

Or not. Look, Jan had been taught to stay very very quiet while they were in transit, and she was going to abuse the fact she could get loud without scolding again as hard as she could.

Cable mostly looked vaguely exasperated. Or amused. Or watchful. One of the three, or maybe all of them.

"...we're taking everyone into space for Jan's party." Deadpool had a very healthy sense of competition.

Nate shot him a wry look. "I think that might be a problem..." he said, "...unless the island decides differently. Might be a space summer."

Bouncy Castle! auroryborealis June 12 2011, 16:58:11 UTC

Pretend like you don't want to go in. You know you want to.

Re: Bouncy Castle! cantgetnorelief June 12 2011, 18:01:08 UTC

Psssssh. Anders wasn't pretending he didn't want to go in. Standing by the entrance, making restless motions as if he had to stop himself from kicking his shoes off, and frowning in contemplation of whether or not the thing could handle him, yeah. Pretending he didn't want to go in? Not even.

Pony Rides! auroryborealis June 12 2011, 16:58:33 UTC

DON'T EVEN ACT LIKE YOU DON'T WANT TO PET THEM AT LEAST.

Cake! And coffee and candy and snacks but mostly CAKE auroryborealis June 12 2011, 16:59:04 UTC

Juliet certainly seemed to love it.

Talk to the birthday girl! auroryborealis June 12 2011, 17:02:16 UTC

Who is at turns running around screaming, giggling, and looking like she desperately needs a nap.

Re: Talk to the birthday girl! spring_lost June 12 2011, 17:09:06 UTC

Don't ask where Jan had gotten the plush baseball bat - no, really, don't - but she was brandishing it at Juliet. "JULIET," she called again, for great emphasis. "SIT!"

... it wasn't Tether, Jan.

Re: Talk to the birthday girl! auroryborealis June 12 2011, 17:12:39 UTC

"WHY?" Juliet asked, frowning. "I birthday! Don't hafta!"

Re: Talk to the birthday girl! spring_lost June 12 2011, 17:17:06 UTC

"Because it's y'r birthday," Jan said, conspiratorally. "People are watching!"

Mind, this was not out of some sense of decorum. Jan just didn't want any freaky lizards showing up trying to shoot Juliet.

Or maybe she just liked bellowing orders.
