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.

Beat.
"Billy does magic, too. I do not know if he has practiced."
Re: Hang out with X-23
"I don't think gods have to practice."
Re: Hang out with X-23
"That does not make sense."
Re: Hang out with X-23
She's read stories about gods being tricked or hurt, but not about practicing, or getting something like that wrong.
"I think they just - do things."
Re: Hang out with X-23
X absorbs this.
"That is useful."
Beat.
"For them."
Understatement.
Re: Hang out with X-23
Well, it is.
"They're not like - people."
Re: Hang out with X-23
"Humans?"
X's definition of people is weird.
Re: Hang out with X-23
"And everything else."
... ever.
Re: Hang out with X-23
Beat.
"I will remember."
Even if it still does not make sense.
Re: Hang out with X-23
With a small shrug, "I don't know what they do here."
Re: Hang out with X-23
Beat.
"Sometmes Belar turns other people into things. When they cause trouble."
Or so the Security report reads. If X knew Raph, she would ask him. Maybe she'll ask Jayne, instead.
Re: Hang out with X-23
She sounds a little wary, now. Elle only knew about the cells.
Re: Hang out with X-23
"He turns them back. Sometimes it is easier than fighting."
Beat.
"And safer. For other people."
Re: Hang out with X-23
She still sounds rather unsure about it.
But when it comes down to it, were she ever going to cause trouble in the bar, she'd be unlikely to really think it through.
Re: Hang out with X-23
"I cannot do that. To people."
Change their shape, that is. You know, in case Elle was worried.
"I do not think other people can, either."
Except gods. And--maybe Constantine and Tom?
Re: Hang out with X-23
Beat.
"It's okay."
Re: Hang out with X-23
"Okay."
X will believe her. Unless and until Elle freaks out.
Or they both get changed into something. Or--
"Good."
