Birthday Party for Laura/X-23
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.

He's grinning, now.
"He's pretty fond of it."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"Oh, dear," says Meg.
(But she's grinning, too, a little.)
Re: Mingle with the other guests
Said with the sort of mischievous cheer only a younger sibling can properly appreciate.
"So I figured I might as well cut out for a while."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"Probably a good plan.
"And good timing, because you came during a party."
Everyone wins.
Re: Mingle with the other guests
He glances around the room.
"You've got a lot of people here."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"And fortunately, we didn't have to have an accurate count for a caterer. Or make all the food ourselves. So . . . I'm thrilled that this many people came."
It's Laura's first birthday party. It should be An Occasion.
Re: Mingle with the other guests
Party planning is not really something in Sam's experience.
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"There could be riots."

Re: Mingle with the other guests
Meg is reasonably certain there's not a single person in this room she could physically stop from doing much of anything.
(Glare down, maybe. But not physically stop.)
"And then you have to call security, which is Laura, and that just casts a pall over the whole event."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
For more than one reason. This many people in a room, if things go wrong -- it could get messy fast.
Re: Mingle with the other guests
Well, all right. With something that's probably intended to be a perfectly straight face.
(The actual execution leaves something to be desired.)
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"Not again. I think we've both had enough of that."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
A pause.
"So, have you done anything interesting since the last time I saw you?"
Re: Mingle with the other guests
Re: Mingle with the other guests
There was a fair bit of "else," actually, but Meg will skip that part.
"Oh, and I learned that visiting Milliways on Mardi Gras gets you a costume. Even if it's not Mardi Gras in the world you left."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
He can imagine, he just doesn't want to.
"Think I'm just as glad I missed out on that."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"I've been Alice in Wonderland and Anne of Green Gables.
"It wasn't that bad.
"Well, it could have been worse."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"I'm definitely not a fan of Halloween costumes. So yeah, I guess it could have been worse."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
Re: Mingle with the other guests
For many, many reasons.
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"Are there holidays you do like?"
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"Dean and I spent it with Mrs. Reynolds this year. She's a great cook."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
A slight pause (and a show of thought), and then Meg adds, cheerfully, "Of course, you probably celebrated on the wrong day."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"Depends on who you ask."
