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.

Through muffled snorts: "Looms over all he surveys, our Konstam does. A giant among men!"
Re: Hang out with X-23
Blankly.
"I do not understand."
Beat.
"It is a joke?"
Re: Hang out with X-23
"Konstam," Jamie explains, still snickering, "is about - oh, so high," and he raises a hand to about three inches below the top of his own head.
(This is a foul lie. Konstam is at least an inch or two taller than Jamie! On the other hand, Jamie is a smallish prepubescent boy, so . . .)
Re: Hang out with X-23
X does not look any more enlightened.
"Logan is short, too."
Beat.
"But he is good at killing people."
Re: Hang out with X-23
Re: Hang out with X-23
X considers this.
"Joris likes Konstam."
Beat.
"That is not okay?"
Re: Hang out with X-23
Jamie doesn't even think the golden gods he's met are golden gods.
(Well, except maybe him on his rock.)
Re: Hang out with X-23
"Yes."
Beat.
"That makes sense."
It really does.
"You do not like gods?"
Re: Hang out with X-23
You never know when one might be listening and decide to take offense.
"If they leave me alone I'll return the favor. I'm not too keen on anyone who plays around with people's lives for fun, I suppose."
Re: Hang out with X-23
"I do not know if they all do that. Play."
Beat.
"Belar is in charge of Security. He is a god."
Re: Hang out with X-23
Delik, God of Cakes, for example!
"So far be it from me to generalize," he says, with a half-smile. "But some of them seem to be in it mostly to make their worshippers' lives misery. I've never seen the point of that."
Re: Hang out with X-23
X says this matter-of-factly.
"I do not know why."
Re: Hang out with X-23
Jamie shrugs, tired; it's one of the times when he almost sounds his hundred-and-thirteen years.
"I've never understood it either."
Re: Hang out with X-23
And then--
"Maybe you will stop meeting people. Like that."
Re: Hang out with X-23
Re: Hang out with X-23
X just offers Jamie a quick, one-shouldered shrug.
"Unless you are fighting them."
Re: Hang out with X-23
"Unless you're fighting them," he says, with a quick grin. "You know that's not my thing."
Re: Hang out with X-23
"You are better at talking."
And running. But she has not really seen much of that. Yet.
Re: Hang out with X-23
- well. Jamie hasn't encountered it, at least.
"It's nice to know someone thinks so," Jamie says, and casts a mild glare over at Helen where she's standing in the crowd before turning a grin back to X.
Re: Hang out with X-23
"I have seen you."
Re: Hang out with X-23
Re: Hang out with X-23
"I have heard you, too."
