Fourth Floor Common Room, Sunday Evening

Oct 12, 2014 19:58

So, everyone was back from Skyrim safe and sound, and no one (at least, no one Joker knew of) had come down with dysentery, or Legionnaire's, or botulism, or tetanus, or anything. Success ( Read more... )

Arrive and Mingle fly_so_serious October 12 2014, 23:59:02 UTC

And discuss your baggage.

Re: Arrive and Mingle nobloodymessiah October 13 2014, 00:14:12 UTC

Or add it to the growing pile, if you'd rather.

Eleanor had decided to be practical about this. One couldn't escape it in the literal sense; might as well keep the metaphorical equivalent with one.

So there was a pile over to one side of the room with a large trunk with 'FREAK' embossed into its side. On top of that, a smaller suitcase with 'Mommy Didn't Love Me' in fancy script matched nicely with a leather case that simply read 'FEAR OF INTIMACY.' The cosmetics bag stated 'AM I STILL HUMAN?' Which was a bit ridiculous, as it was quite clearly a cosmetics bag.

Eleanor was tempted to say they ought to try burning the piles and see if that produced any interesting results.

Almost all of Elsa's baggage today seemed to be semi-indecipherable randomness about snowmen and prophecy, with several bags about family, being a monster, and responsibility all tucked away in the corner with the rest of the bags. Some of her own baggage seemed to come from a set matching Eleanor's. Fear of intimacy? Check! Freak? Check! Elsa was giving them a side-eye before making her way into the room, toward the party proper.

She actually managed not to trip over Crippling Social Anxiety when it popped up in front of her in the form of an ugly ragged gunny sack, at least. And even managed to keep her composure in the face of it, shoving it toward the pile with one foot before continuing on her way.

Take that, social anxiety.

Re: Arrive and Mingle fly_so_serious October 13 2014, 01:58:02 UTC

"Welcome to the party!" Joker said with a smile. "Baggage in that pile, presents in that one!" He pointed at the bag she'd nearly tripped on. "By the way, that? So outdated. It hasn't been 'crippling' for months."

Talk to the Birthday Girl fly_so_serious October 13 2014, 00:02:36 UTC

About her baggage?

Once she pings in.

Re: Talk to the Birthday Girl nobloodymessiah October 13 2014, 00:20:22 UTC

Having safely deposited her baggage in the pile to one side, Eleanor was going to curl up on the couch and watch movies.

She'd never had a birthday party before. She couldn't say how they were supposed to go, but this one seemed to be going all right, as it was.

Re: Talk to the Birthday Girl fly_so_serious October 13 2014, 00:33:00 UTC

"See? Movies which aren't bad do exist, and they're also fun to watch!" Joker grinned at her. "And, birthday party! I considered Pin the Tail on the Donkey, or getting a piñata, but I figured you're probably too old for that."

Re: Talk to the Birthday Girl nobloodymessiah October 13 2014, 00:50:19 UTC

"Somehow, I will live with the disappointment," Eleanor said lightly. She ought to be in a fouler mood, considering the luggage, but it was hard to be in a bad mood at one's very first birthday party ever.

She leaned over to kiss his cheek. "Thank you for doing this."

Snacks, drinks, and pizza fly_so_serious October 13 2014, 00:04:58 UTC

Moddable snacks, soda, and pizza.

There are two big bowls of punch, helpfully labeled "not spiked", and "this one is not labeled 'not spiked'".

Movies! fly_so_serious October 13 2014, 00:06:28 UTC

For the night's entertainment, there are: Battle Group, most of the Illinois Smith series, Dime Store Paperbacks, Go Leda Go, and of course The Grandfather.

Re: Movies! not_every_mage October 13 2014, 00:48:44 UTC

Anders didn't feel like discussing any of the luggage following him around. Not ANGER, not SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS, not the ones about his parents, and certainly not FEARS LOVE.

He aggressively planted himself on the couch to watch Battle Group instead, feet on his FOUR YEARS IN THE CIRCLE steamer trunk. At least he liked the movie --but, then,something about dual personalities had always fascinated him.

Re: Movies! fly_so_serious October 13 2014, 00:58:45 UTC

Joker gestured at the trunk. "You hear about 'useful metaphors'," he said cheerfully, "but this is something else entirely."

Re: Movies! not_every_mage October 13 2014, 01:08:09 UTC

Anders squinted at him. "Am I going to sound like an idiot if I admit I didn't know it was a metaphor?"

Singing, ice cream, and cake fly_so_serious October 13 2014, 00:07:52 UTC

Because this deserves its own thread. Seriously, Eleanor needs a rousing chorus of "Happy Birthday to You" because she's never gotten one before. Don't disappoint!

Re: Singing, ice cream, and cake notaweenie October 13 2014, 00:49:43 UTC

Screw the typical birthday song. Barry recreated the visual experience from Elsa's birthday by singing Hurra for Deg

Hurra for deg som fyller ditt år!
Ja, deg vil vi gratulere!
Alle i ring omkring deg vi står,
og se, nå vil vi marsjere,
bukke, nikke, neie, snu oss omkring,
danse så for deg med hopp og sprett og spring,
ønske deg av hjertet alle gode ting
og si meg så, hva vil du mere? Gratulere!

There was even a dance that went with it!

Re: Singing, ice cream, and cake nobloodymessiah October 13 2014, 01:07:27 UTC

Eleanor was applauding, madly. "Bravo," she said. "Bravo. Though I didn't hear my name anywhere in that."

Re: Singing, ice cream, and cake notaweenie October 13 2014, 10:27:00 UTC

"I'm not translating the song for you but the whole thing is more 'Hooray for you' with a little dance," Barry explained.

A dance that ended with a butt wiggle. Definitely not tweaking though.
