Darling Party!, The Park, Wednesday Evening

[stars_and_money]

The Darling twins were turning eighteen today, and thus crossing the threshold into legal adulthood. While that may have been a terrifying thought to some, it also meant that there was going to be a huge freaking party because they were Darlings and no special occasion could get past them without a huge deal being made out of it. So after sundown

Arrive!/Mingle! [10/24]

Realize you've come to a party thrown by rich people! Wonder what the birthday boy and girl look like because you've never met them!

"I think you'd have to carry an ax or a club to be a barbarian," Karolina joked. Sometimes she could do that! "I haven't seen you with one yet."

"Doesn't mean I don't have one!" Jim pointed out. "Though, I don't have one. We're a little more sophisticated with weaponry in the future. Though, I guess axes and clubs never really go out of style. Still useful."

"But not at parties," she said, because they just weren't. "But I don't think you're a barbarian, Jim."

"You sure about that?" Jim asked coyly. "You don't know me that well, after all. Maybe I come from a long line of barbarians."

Re: Arrive!/Mingle! [10/24]

[solarhippie]

"I don't know." She shrugged again. "You just don't seem like one."

"Well, in this instance, you're right," Jim told her, toasting her correct guess with his glass. "For one, barbarians are way too hairy. There's no way I'm growing a beard and letting a little forest grow on my back either."

Karolina's face scrunched up at that mental image. Thanks, Jim!

"So... It's best for everyone that you're not."

Re: Arrive!/Mingle! [10/24]

[kirked]

"Probably," Jim said, laughing at that face. "Man, you looked like you were about to spew chunks there, Karolina. Not a fan of hair either?"

Re: Arrive!/Mingle! [10/24]

[solarhippie]

Karolina blushed. Helpfully.

"Can I not answer that?"

Re: Arrive!/Mingle! [10/24]

[kirked]

"Not answering that is an answer on its own," Jim pointed out intelligently. "So, now you're forever gonna be known as Karolina, the girl who hates hair and blushes."

Re: Arrive!/Mingle! [10/24]

Karolina gave that a sheepish little chuckle, and looked down.

"I think I'd just prefer Karolina," she said. "Or just Kar."

Re: Arrive!/Mingle! [10/24]

[kirked]

"Kar?" He could get with that. "Same amount of letters as my name has. Obviously, we were just meant to meet and bond. It's fate, Kar."

She snickered softly. "I was Lucy in the Sky for a while, too," she offered, not knowing if he'd get the reference. "But not anymore."

Re: Arrive!/Mingle! [10/24]

[kirked]

"Beatles?" Hey, they still had music in the future. And the Beatles were legendary. "Where'd that name come from? The whole flying thing?"

Re: Arrive!/Mingle! [10/24]

[solarhippie]

Karolina nodded. "And the... shimmer." Basically the whole package, then. "It was a codename."
