Birthday Party for Laura/X-23

[noteful]

It's a pretty low-key party, all things considered, and not significantly different than the one Parker or Meg would have thrown in a dorm room for a friend at home, not-exactly-traditional menu not withstanding.

There's music, low enough to talk over (and maybe with a little more folk in the mix than one expects to find a party). Balloons and streamers in purple and blue and red. A place to leave presents. People to meet or catch up with.

And, most importantly, a chance to wish X-23 (or Laura) a very happy birthday.

One significant perk of living in Milliways is how easy it makes shopping and wrapping gifts. Bar can always make suggestions, is never out of stock, and will eventually take pity on you if your efforts at gift-wrapping make it abundantly clear that you have no idea what you are doing.

So the deep violet package Cal drops off has crisp, professional-looking corners and a neatly curled sprig of white ribbon affixed artfully on a corner. It contains three DVDs: True Lies, Winchester '73, and The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean.

The copy of True Lies has a Post-It stuck on the front:

X,

I know you have this one already but, this is the version from my world and it's a little different. I thought you might be interested.

That's right - True Lies the musical.

(The other two are the "normal" versions from X's world.)
