Does anyone want to get together in a few days at the tavern to have some drinks?

[There's a moment where Bobby looks a little bit contemplative, then he smiles, a little sheepish.]I mean, I know officially being twenty-one isn't really that big of a deal here, but I was kind of looking forward to it back home. I'd like to do something sort of

I'm guessing that's an open invite?

[mister_10_below]

It was! Mostly I just wanted to see if anyone'd be interested. But, um, I'd really love for you to come.

[hidingnolonger]

I'm totally interested. You can definitely count me in.

[mister_10_below]

Then it'll probably be my best birthday yet.

Well, congratulations. I was a bartender in my world, so if you want I can help out and serve drinks.

[His hesitant smile turns into a wide grin.]

Really? That'd be wicked awesome! I don't really know anything about mixing drinks.

Always glad to help. Turning twenty-one is a big milestone, even though you're not in your own world.

[mister_10_below]

Yeah, that's what I thought, too. Just because it might not mean something everywhere doesn't mean it doesn't really mean anything.

[He pauses.]

Uh. That made more sense in my head.

Happy Birthday!!!

[She doesn't know him, but hey, it's a birthday!]

Um, well happy almost birthday! I hope you have a great time!

Too bad they probably don't have birthday hats here. Those always make birthdays even better.

[Tahlia's being serious; she thinks the hats are fun. Everyone gets to look silly!]

[mister_10_below]

Thank you!

[Hello new person Bobby hasn't talked to before!]

That's a good point. I wonder if I could make some? Well, I could probably do it out of ice, but I doubt anyone'd want to wear those.

[veggie_wolf]

Ice? Are you an elementalist?

[She supposes he could have just meant there was ice he could sculpt, but it seems like there would be much easier ways to make the hats if that were the case.]

Nope, I don't think so. It would probably melt really fast and then people would be all soggy and grumpy. I don't think you want soggy, grumpy people at your party.

[mister_10_below]

I've been called that, yeah! In my world, we're called mutants.

[He grins.]

Yeah, I don't think that'd go over well. No one wants to be soggy and cold at a party. I guess we'll just have to make do without hats.

[knowsyourmind]

Drinks, you say?

[mister_10_below]

[There's a moment where Bobby considers wondering if this is weird, then goes with it.]

Yeah! I thought that just because I was here wasn't a reason to not have fun on my twenty-first.

[knowsyourmind]

Ah hah. I see the tradition is still alive and well in... what year did you say it was, exactly?

[mister_10_below]

[He hadn't said, mostly because he'd been purposefully trying to be vague. Which he's. Kind of still going to do.]

I'm into the two thousands, now. And yeah, it's still alive and well. I think any tradition involving going out to have a bunch of drinks and fun is probably going to stay around for awhile.

Would, um, would you be interested in coming?

[knife_envy]

[Audio]

You sure you can handle the drinks here, kid?

[He's teasing <3]

[Despite the fact that he feels the same awkwardness around Logan has he does around Scott - glad he's there, but weird that he's from so much earlier - Bobby can't help but grin a bit at that.]

I haven't really tried them yet, so, not really. But isn't that the point of twenty-first birthdays?
