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.

She holds the glass out to him, offering him a drink if he wants. It's delicious! Which is written all over her face.

Fountain glasses have wide brims. This is fortunate if you decide to faceplant in to one. He emerges seconds later, grinning with melted ice cream on his nose. It is licked off.

Cass beams back. SEE? IT IS DELICIOUS! She takes her own enormous gulp, which is obviously enjoyed.

But between the two of them it is now empty...

TRAGEDY!

A conundrum indeed! Fortunately, he has an idea.

The alien holds up a claw, snatches the glass out of her hand, scurries down to the floor and off to the buffet table. It has thankfully been restocked. He returns quickly, gift now absent and bearing two floats. They're a tad heavy on the dairy product. There's no such thing as too much ice cream.

Cass agrees and reaches out to take both glasses. Then she frowns.

What about Stitch? Doesn't he want a float too?

HEY!

"Grrr."

Cass is handed her ONE float. The other is upended into Stitch's maw rather pointedly.

Stitch is so stingy! Cass would pout, but she has a rootbeer float.

Maybe later? For now she upends her own glass. But she drinks at a more stately pace. It takes five or six swallows before it's empty.

Wheras Stitch manages to polish his off in four. A considerable amount of vanilla froth dribbles down the corners of his mouth.

"Gaba jituka?"

Perhaps the curious headtilt will help?

Cass blinks slowly.

Then she nods hesitantly.

Stitch's body language isn't truly human... but he was asking a yes-or-no question... Right?

Other people of Cass' acquaintance would likely gently correct her. Stitch facepalms.

Sigh.

She must have gotten it wrong. Cass tries again.

She shakes her head.

Re: Mingle with the other guests

[evil_koala_626]

"Aggaba." This is muttered through fingers still covering his face.

This is... Hmmm.

Cass' pants leg is tugged on. She is pointed to. She is given a thumbs up. And another headtilt.

Not his original question, but something easier to convey through pantomime.

She frowns at him thoughtfully. Then a huge beaming grin of understanding blossoms across her face. Oh! That's what he was asking!

She nods enthusiastically then cocks her head curiously at him in return.

Stitch nods hard enough to make his back teeth rattle. Parties are fun, after all.

Re: Mingle with the other guests

Cass grins right back and holds up her now-empty glass. Parties are indeed awesome. They tend to have large supplies of sugar!
