"You can't go wrong with the Prince," Cayce said, strolling on board. She had 16-ounce soda bottle half-full with part of her remaining supply of Crichton and Jackson's Disneyland Special. "I see I'm unfashionably early."
"Well, clearly," said Logan, beaming. "The music's hacked through the office in the Gag Factory, if you feel the need to mess with my playlist." He swooped on the bottle. "Also, you are a goddess and an angel of light."
"It's not much, but dude, a little of that stuff goes a long way." Case in point: how quickly she and Crichton had gotten schnockered the other day. Which reminded her ... She shot a nervous glance in the direction of the Town Hall and went over the advice she'd rehearsed.
"You, uh, met the guys across the way there?" she asked.
Faintly surprised to have received an invitation, but pleased nonetheless, Adam took the ferry over from his Tom Sawyer's island so as not to get soaking wet and made his way to the Miss Daisy. He didn't bring anything - that water into wine trick was a real party stopper.
"Hullo, Logan," he said, entering and looking around.
Well, Adam was (1) Logan's age, (2) an ex-Hogwarts attendee with whom he'd been mildly friendly, and (3) supernaturally likeable. He might not have been Logan's bestest buddy, but sure he got an invite.
"Hey, there," said Logan. "How've you been? Drink?"
The supernaturally likeable thing did tend to help. Funny how that worked...
"Pretty good, thanks. Been explorin' an awful lot. How 'bout you?" As one of the virtuous types (because who really wanted to know what would happen if the Antichrist got drunk?) Adam looked over the refreshments table. "Apple juice?" he asked. "If not, water's okay." At least he wasn't whining.
Thanks for the invite. I'm afraid my hands are quite full here, though, and I don't think I'll be able to make it. But I'll see you soon, hopefully.
Incidentally, perhaps you can shed some light on a problem that's been perplexing me. Is there any reason why someone would break into the First Aid Station in the middle of the night in search of cough syrup? Barring, of course, a complete lack of etiquette and brains. I thought it might have something to do with alcohol, but I looked at the ingredients, and there's no such thing in there.
No problem. Take care of the kids and say hi from me.
Uh, yeah, cough syrup? Is actually pretty famous for being the kind of thing you drink if you want to get high and you don't have anything better. The prescription kind has codeine in it, which is an opiate, and the over-the-counter stuff has DXM, which makes you loopy and if you have enough can make you hallucinate a little.
Who was this who broke in? Should I be worried or should I have invited him/her to my party?
Party? Of course Kon was going to be there. And he was going to have a long argument (if he had to) with Tim to get his best friend there, too--which might make him a bit late.
He wasn't anticipating the same trouble with his girlfriend.
"We have: punch. Jello shots. Assorted sodas, which I could spike for you if you wanted." Logan had never quite gotten around to finding a place to put Cayce's bottle down, and eventually decided it was safest in his hand. "Sadly, no champagne."
Trapped in a world where one of Logan's parties was the highlight of her social life? Maybe this was some kind of Purgatory.
Still, might as well get out and mingle with the locals. Veronica waited until a little after the party started (didn't want to get stuck making awkward small talk with the host if she arrived too early) and showed up ready to lurk in a corner and snark about people.
Hey now. Logan's parties were the highlight of everybody's social life at Neptune High. Everybody who was anybody, at least. Logan believed in parties, and acted accordingly.
He was looking out for his two exes, so Veronica didn't manage to escape being pounced on shortly after she arrived. "There you are!"
"Not too bad. Uh, sodas are on the table on the right. Unless you want to be the night's entertainment, in which case you've got your choice of jello or punch. Let's see," looking around the room, "who should I inflict you on?"

"In the suits? I've seen them around. Snarking and playing in their blue box thing."

Calvin says hello.
Well, that answers my question. I knew there was something funny about the incident, but naturally I didn't know -- well. Thank you.
The offender in question is one Bernard Black, but don't worry about it; I'll give him the kicking he deserves myself.
