LIVING ROOM

[batghoul]

[Everything is covered in eggplant streamers and banners and anything else Charlie could scrounge up. Purple party hats are mandatory.]

Cass and Charlie

[blondevigilante]

Time had a way of slipping away here. Back home she was only a few months into classes while here she was enjoying summer break again. It wasn't so much that time slipped away as it was that time was confusing, so Steph had honestly forgotten that it was in fact her birthday today. She was in no way suspicious when Cass asked about a late grocery run and entered the house with her hands full of breakfast foods which happen to make a balanced food plan in Stephanie's professional opinion.

"I bought a lot of frozen fruit for the waffle mix. I'm thinking bel--" she paused as she looked around the room stunned. "Oh, uh, Cass?"

[batghoul]

Cass's head popped up from behind a couch, a purple party hat perched atop it. "Happy birthday," she said with a big smile, climbing right over the couch to give her befuddled best friend a hug.

[blondevigilante]

There went the bag of frozen fruit as Steph jumped slightly.

"Happy...really?" Was she really SO forgetful? Squeezing Cass tightly she let out a laugh. "O.M.G. you really are something! Does Charlie know? I mean, how did you two keep this from me?"

KITCHEN

[batghoul]

[There's food everywhere, including a big, purple cake. And some cookies that Cass baked. Eat at your own risk.]

OPEN

[bedeviledspider]

[ Reilly, early on in the evening, had decided that this where he would choose to hide. For the whole night, God willing. There was only one slight problem with that plan: the cookies. Which he could almost swear were setting off his senses.

Still, he took one.

Ever so reluctantly. ]

[batghoul]

[There's someone sneaky up on Reilly, both watching carefully to see if he'll eat one of the (admittedly terrible) cookies, and to place a purple party hat on his unsuspecting head.]

[bedeviledspider]

[ Just as he takes his first bite, his spider-sense goes off. He knew there was something wrong with those cookies. Still, struggling the urge to spit it out, he manages to swallow one piece.

And starts looking for a place he can discreetly toss the rest.

Oblivious to the hat now sitting upon his head. ]

FRONT PORCH

[batghoul]

[In case all that purple eggplant is getting to you.]

[xuffasch]

( someone is standing very uncertainly outside. guess who's never been to a birthday party that wasn't his own? )

[blondevigilante]

Steph sees him out on the porch when she steps out for a bit of fresh air.

"Hey, D. Have you grabbed any munchies yet? Word of advice: steer clear of the cookies."

[xuffasch]

He just gives her one of his looks and rolls his eyes.

"I'm not coming in. The last time I entered your dwellings I was nearly trapped there."

POST-PARTY SHENANIGANS

[batghoul]

[Well, the party's official over, and you can help clean up or just mingle a little longer. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.]

OPEN

[blondevigilante]

Steph is so partied out and completely exhausted even though it was just a small gathering. It was, however, a good feeling of exhaustion. With a big garbage bag she moved around pulling streamers and other party left overs into the bag.
