milliways_bar: Harry's birthday

[always_thirsty]

Thomas' room is small, but functional...and set up rather snazzily for a party. There's a table for gifts, another for the cake, and a few scattered lounges and couches around for touches. The bed has been pushed to a side and made into something like a couch. There's a small boombox in the corner putting out Halloween-themed music

Amanda walks in with a present in hand. Her sultary devil's outfit replaced with a leather Hooker's costume (see icon).

When she comes in she sees Thomas and walks right up to him and gives him a kiss. Then she pulls away a little, "Where should I put this?"

[always_thirsty]

He shrugs and points to the presents table near the door.

"That'll work."

Then he holds out an arm for her.

"Thanks for coming."

[amanda_darieux]

She puts the present down and then goes to him.

"My pleasure. I hope that he likes the present."

Yeah, the cpstume was compliments of Bar thanks to thier earlier conversation.

[always_thirsty]

"I'm sure he will. He's pretty happy to get anything."

He wasn't even expecting this party.

[sheila_nagig]

He wakes her up with the shout, and she looks over the top of the couch.

And follows him, suddenly very, very awake.

Her gift for Harry (a copy each of The Little Bit Naughty Book Of Sex Positions and Supersex; a cake she baked herself, and a card) is laid down in a bag that says "Only for the birthday boy. NO TOUCHY!" on the table, and she leans against a wall, seeming to glow green even though she's clearly not green.

[amanda_darieux]

Amanda sees the pregnant woman seeming to glow green and decides to introduce herself, "Hi, I'm Amanda" she extends her hand."

[sheila_nagig]

She smiles.

"Sheila. Pleased to meet you."

She doesn't take Amanda's hand, though; she's still tingling.

"Don't take it as an offense. I'm feeling a little sensitive at the moment."

[amanda_darieux]

She smiles in return, "I don't. It's a pleasure, Sheila."

She takes a close look at her. "Do you know Jack?" Remembering that he said he had a pregnant sister. WIth that glow this might be her.

So, up the stairs I go, to Thomas' room, for this party. Not only b/c if I don't show, he'll make a grand spectacle of dragging me out of the bar, but b/c he went to the trouble. That doesn't really happen all that often.

I walk in and... "Oh come on. Do I really have to be stuck in this get-up all night? Even for this?"

[always_thirsty]

He turns from where he's been pouring drinks to smile at Harry. Genuinely smile. The irritation from earlier isn't gone, but it's Harry's birthday and Harry's party and he can be a non-jackass sometimes.

[wizard_dresden]

I blink and my clothes change. "Oh thank God."

I notice Thomas isn't his father anymore either. This is good.

"Hey." I wave.

[always_thirsty]

He gestures to the food and drinks and then to the present table. Harry might find a goodsized box with a fine black leather duster. He might also find another with a few rare ingredients that Harry could use for potions. The last box is a set of comics starring, of all people, the Blue Beetle.

Those are from Thomas. And Harry will not ask where he got the money.

Having heard something about a party, the Triplets follow the yelling man upstairs to the room with the party.

If only just to look inside the door for a quick peek.

"It looks very fun! Fit for a princess, a prince, and a.. what're you again? I think I'm Robin Hood! Oh. Who's that? I don't know. I've seen him in books though. Bar gave them to me last night with my clothes."

[wizard_dresden]

"Why do you three seem oddly familiar?"

[give_us_candy]

Lock, Shock and Barrel stare up at Harry in surprise.

"Oh! Sorry, we're sorry, we only meant to take a peek." They hang their heads in collective shame.

[wizard_dresden]

I frown, a bit confused.

"No, it's okay. Come on in." I wave a hand. "Really. I'm sure there's plenty."

[bloody_rockgod]

It's a Charlie, carrying Bob. "I understand there's a birthday boy around?"

[wizard_dresden]

"Maybe. And why do you have my skull?"

And why does that not sound as weird as it probably should?

[bloody_rockgod]

"He asked me to bring him to the party." He holds out his hand--the one not carrying Bob. "I'm Charlie. I'm usually blonde and dressed better."

[wizard_dresden]

I meet his hand.

"I'm Harry. I was dressed worse earlier. And that," I point to Bob, "is my skull."

"Hiya, Boss!"

Annoying air spirit.
