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.

Re: Mingle with the other guests
Which is to say, since she has seen this communication device before, X approaches and pushes the red button.
"SARAH."
Beat.
"You are okay?"
She would ask about having a good time, but the words aren't that easy for her yet. Maybe next time.
Re: Mingle with the other guests
The voice is much tinnier than it normally is if someone is closer to the house.
"Happy birthday.
"I didn't get you a present."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
Well--insofar as a house can be somewhere not-the-house.
"Thank you."
Beat.
"People have been talking? To you."

Re: Mingle with the other guests
"It is okay to be both?"
Beat.
"They are not afraid of me. They will like you, too."
X has no idea. None.

"You are my friend."
It isn't what she means, but--words are complicated.
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"Go back to your guests. I will talk to you later."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"I will be back."
At least she's not wearing sunglasses when she says it?
