Francine's Birthday Party, Sixth Floor Common Room, Thursday Late Afternoon/Evening

Apr 01, 2010 09:32

Katchoo had felt justified in blowing most of her last paycheck on food for this party, because this was a girl who would eat half-raw macaroni and cheese if left to her own devices and you really didn't want her cooking. It helped to have a radio cohost who ran the diner and could be shamelessly self-modded and had the weirdest mushy soft spot ( Read more... )

Setup: Before the Party thismaskiwear April 1 2010, 16:34:16 UTC

For the people (previously arranged or otherwise) helping Katchoo set up. She'll even kind of act like she likes you for the time being! Well. She might actually like you, but that's classified. Or something.

Karla hadn't actually promised to help set up, but she'd been tasked with getting a bunch of decorations and things and kind of assumed that this was a continuation of that.

So she was there with balloons and streamers and whatever the heck else, grateful that she hadn't accidentally dropped another jar of glitter into the air vents again.

"Geez," Katchoo noted from where she was shoving tables together, "what the hell didja do? Buy out the store?"

Re: Setup: Before the Party glacial_witch April 1 2010, 20:24:28 UTC

Karla looked down at Katchoo, confused. "I wanted to make sure we had enough," she replied. "Besides, it's Francine's party. It should be...festive."

Arrive/Mingle thismaskiwear April 1 2010, 16:34:49 UTC

You know what to do here. YOU DO KNOW, RIGHT? GEEZ.

Re: Arrive/Mingle bitch_prince April 1 2010, 17:13:00 UTC

Well, of course they knew what to do there!

Arthur, for example, was an expert on arriving and mingling right now. He did so in style (and one of his more royal-looking jackets, for that matter).

Re: Arrive/Mingle thismaskiwear April 1 2010, 21:43:03 UTC

Katchoo . . . might be peering around Arthur for some evidence of the threatened horse. "No red carpet for you, your Highness," she informed him dryly. "There wasn't one that came in exactly the right shade you wanted on short notice."

Re: Arrive/Mingle bitch_prince April 2 2010, 04:01:06 UTC

She just got a funny look. "Why would I want a red carpet?" Arthur asked.

It would probably be best if Katchoo saved that sort of thing for the member of the medieval trio who actually watched television.

Food! thismaskiwear April 1 2010, 16:35:41 UTC

No neurotic diner owners were actually harmed in the shaking-down for the goodies, even though Katchoo had far too much fun doing the shaking down.

Re: Food! bitten_notshy April 1 2010, 23:07:03 UTC

Jack scoped out the treats and (with a wistful look at the pasta and the sandwiches) filled his plate with salads and a few chunks of chicken borrowed from the sandwich plate.

Passover made birthday parties much more difficult. He wasn't going to think about how he'd manage in Kaeleer.

Cake! thismaskiwear April 1 2010, 16:37:10 UTC

It's so delicious and moist. Look at her still talking when there's science to do. When she looks out there, it makes her glad she's not you.

Aside from the one Lacey sent, there . . . might be a couple of others . . .

This was here all along. RLY. So you can leave them there.

(That was a joke. Ha ha. FAT CHANCE. AND ALSO FROM THE RIGHT ACCOUNT NOW WTF.)

Re: . . . And Presents kestrelswolf April 2 2010, 01:27:47 UTC

Firekeeper left a small, if somewhat awkwardly-wrapped box. The contents were a bit outside her realm of expertise (that being weapons and suchlike, but Francine probably wouldn't have gotten much use from a hunting knife).

The card accompanying the gift was blank except for the

Re: . . . And Presents blondecanary April 2 2010, 01:46:54 UTC

Francine's box was wrapped in shiny iridescent strawberry paper, and contained goodies that she would be able to wear at home or out... and one tiny thing, too.

For a fellow book lover and terrific friend-- remember, do what Tawny Madison would do!

Talk to the Birthday Girl! thismaskiwear April 1 2010, 16:38:32 UTC

Once she pings in. For the good of all of us. Except the ones who are dead.

Re: Talk to the Birthday Girl! thatsamilkshake April 2 2010, 00:44:50 UTC

Actually, not that she knows it, but Francine can see dead people, so they can be included in the good. Unless they want to eat her.

Francine was here and ... not exactly surprised, no, but most definitely pleased!

And not just because she wasn't a zombie this year.

Re: Talk to the Birthday Girl! thismaskiwear April 2 2010, 01:04:34 UTC

She'd have a Katchoo sticking pretty closely to her, too; people could party it up all they wanted, but she wasn't going to do much mingling.

"Better than last year?"

. . . pay attention to the narrative, Chewie, god.

Re: Talk to the Birthday Girl! thatsamilkshake April 2 2010, 01:08:09 UTC

She could mingle with Francine all she liked. Not dirty.

Not dirty HERE. God.

"Chewie, there would have to be.... I don't know, harpies with alligators in their mouths with bees in their mouths jumping out of my cake for it not to be better than last year."
