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.

She smiles.
"Have most of the people in your world heard of the city you're from? I mean . . . is it just that it's small or off the beaten path, or is it that it doesn't exist on different versions of . . . worlds with Englands?"
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"Well - maybe just the one. The world I'm on now, the city I'm in now, it's - well, no one's told me the name flat out, but it's a lot like mine. Spookily like. My guess is it's only a world over."
There's barely suppressed excitement there. Almost home. He's so close -

"I . . . I don't think I understand."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"What I meant is - well, worlds that are close together often resemble each other quite a lot. It's sort of like how you expect someone's sibling or cousin to look quite a lot like them. So working backwards, if you ran into someone who looks like someone you know, you might try to guess their relation."
Though that's a bad analogy really, considering the preponderance of doubles across the worlds. But Jamie decides there's no reason to get into that; it will just make it more confusing.

More or less.
Meg thinks back over things, extrapolates things from the excitement of a moment ago, and then asks, very carefully, "Am I correct in assuming, then, that you're trying to find a way back to your Home? And . . . have been for a while?"

"I'm very sorry to hear that."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"Well, if I'm right, you won't have to be sorry much longer. Happy ending and all," he says, with a quick grin. "But either way, a party's not the right place for a sob story, so I'm sorry to have intruded it in."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
But she also knows a topic change when she sees one.
"How did you meet Laura?"
