OPEN/Dancing! comesback July 3 2011, 17:13:25 UTC
[With any good party, there is bound to be dancing. Jack has taken it upon himself to be in charge of that bit of the party, and his choice for the evening is jazz. Swing music, to be exact. There's a space cleared in the basement for it, and Jack is wandering from there to the backyard, making sure everything's properly set up (and he has enough records and cds.)]

[And here's Buffy, she brought her dancing shoes just in case. Which look a lot like her regular shoes because she only has the one pair. But there's Jack and she's sidling up to him, attempting to look as casual as possible while also trying to get a glimpse of his record collection.]

Did you bring anything twentieth centuryish?

How is jazz not 20th century? It was invented then. [He sets the box o' records down and starts sorting through them.]

Okay, Glenn Miller's always a good bet.

Good point. [she laughs a little, but cuts it off before it can get unattractive]

I hope being the DJ doesn't exempt you from -- the dancing.

Rapunzel had seen the Doctor's invitation for a party on the Network, and had decided that she probably needed to get out of the apartment rather badly. Unfortunately, the forced removal of her hair had apparently taken a little bit of the poor things confidence as well, so she was standing near the edge of the yard, one arm curled in front of her waist to hook her other arm as she peered around. Pascal was seated on her shoulder, eying the folks that came close to her.

She'd probably open up eventually...frankly, dancing would be hard to resist for long, for Rapunzel, but for the moment she was just sort of watching everyone in a little bit of a daze.

Pym was running about, exploring every inch of the going ons of the party. He'd never really celebrated the 4th of July like this. Of course he knew it was Independence Day but he was raised in a dome in the Arctic Circle.

He skidded to a stop once he came across someone who didn't look very excited to be at a party. And what was that on her shoulder?

Pym pointed at the green animal. "What's that?"

Oh, a little kid. Rapunzel was pretty sure she could deal with kids, at least. She just seemed to...get along with them very well, for some reason. She smiled at his question and crouched down, holding out her arm.

"He's a chameleon," she said, as Pascal scampered down her arm to give the boy a closer look. "His name is Pascal."

"A chameleon? Does that mean he can change color?" Pym leaned in close, lifting a finger and cautiously bringing it towards Pascal, like he was going to poke him but hesitant the reptile might try to eat his hand. "Where did you find him?"

In the back yard, Teddy's enjoying he party so far. Eating a hot dog, he's found a little spot out of the way to finish his food before getting back into the rest of the party. He knew from experience the hazards of carrying food through a party. For now he was just watching people and keeping an eye on those bounce houses. He may have been at a party but if anyone looked like they were about to bounce into getting hurt, Teddy would rush over to catch them.

[Somewhere in the back of everything, Cassie's standing quietly with a drink in her hand and her robotic pet sitting next to her. She has a lot to think about. No matter what she says, the questions Katurian kept asking her keep running through her head - did she really remember what she thought she remembered? After awhile, she looks at the dog and sighs.]

Fine, go play in the bouncy-house, but if you break yourself, you're grounded.

[With an artificial bark and a very human-sounding thank-you, the dog runs off and Cassie's left alone and muttering to herself.]

Stupid party.

"CASSIE!" The Doctor pops up from nowhere with a hat on and, look, one in his hand... "Glad you came and with Bot!"

DAMMIT! wrong_sometimes July 4 2011, 06:30:36 UTC
She gives a little shriek and jumps, glaring at the Doctor... and the hat in his hand.

"Bot's heading to the bouncy house, he's been talking about it all day."

HE HAS CASSIE RADAR! daft_old_man July 4 2011, 06:34:11 UTC
He frowns a bit looking over at the two bounce housed. "I hope he doesn't go into the one that leads into the pool. I've already fixed him once; at this rate he'll be worse off than K-9!"

That bit is ignored for him placing said sparkly hat on Cassie's head. "Now you're festive!" Hey, you two match!

Peter really has absolutely no idea why he agreed to this. Especially when Buffy practically shirked him off with parenting duties, or maybe they're more like brotherly duties, and he seriously doubts that Dawn wants to spent the entire evening with him. Even though he was more than willing to let her go off and do her own thing, exactly like he expected she would, Peter has no intention of letting her get into trouble.

So he's keeping watch by the sidelines of the rest of the party, observing everything else going around him without actually taking part. Because this is how... Peter celebrates holidays. Especially ones that involve social events.

"Hi," Teddy greets with a smile and a wave. He noticed Peter off on the sidelines and decided he'd go say hello. As far as the shapeshifter was concerned, people should be enjoying the party instead of hiding from it.

"Not a big party guy?"

It takes a couple seconds for Peter to realize that somebody's actually talking to him. Somebody's that... never spoken to him before, which makes him look all the more apologetic for being momentarily oblivious. Noting Dawn's position, he looks towards the source of the greeting.

"Hey," Peter works himself up to an actual smile, ducking his face as he stifles a laugh. "Not really, no. I've never really been."

Teddy honestly doesn't mind the momentary obliviousness. His boyfriend is Billy, he's used to someone being a little oblivious the first few moments. He glances over towards where Dawn is too, just curious where Peter was looking.

"Never? I run into a lot of guys that have never really been to parties," he remarks with a little chuckle. "That's no reason to not enjoy this one though," he adds. He then offers a hand. "I'm Teddy. It's nice to meet you."
