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.

The red button draws Alanna's attention like a beacon on a dark night. Curiosity gets the better of her and besides, it's better than standing around looking uncomfortable.

It might be a trick, or a joke; if she doesn't press it she'll never find out. So she does, keeping her back to the center of the room.

She doesn't say anything afterward, however, not having much experience with such devices. But she does clear her throat.

Someone's paging her.

"Hello?" It sounds like a woman on the end of the line, unless you've been to Eureka before and met a man named Douglas Fargo.

"Hello?"

Alanna's voice is raspy and pitched low out of habit to sound more or less like a young man.

"I'm not sure-"

Trailing off, she squints again at the sign. It doesn't help much.

"This is SARAH. I was unable to attend the party physically so Meghan allowed for an alternate method of communication.

"Who is this?"

"Ah! Like a telephone. I remember those from London."

Pleased, Alanna beams down at the device.

"I'm Sir Alanna of Olau."

Some quick calculations.

"I could not locate an Olau on any current atlas I have. You are not from Earth. How do you know London?"

"No, I'm not. Olau is in Tortall," Alanna says. "As for London, my husband was living there when we met."

Then it occurs to her that this might need more explanation.

"We met here. Adam Young?"
