Room 422, afternoon

Jan 19, 2007 14:48

One of the problems in having a birthday so soon after Christmas was that it tended to be kind of a let down, since most people were still partied out from the month before. So far, Will had gotten a couple of cards from distant relatives (but unsurprisingly, none from her Dad) and a package that her Mom had sent home with her over the holiday ( Read more... )

room 422, valentine, teddy, birthday!

Will heard the knock on the door, and -- setting down the present from her Mom on her bed -- went to go answer it. She was surprised to find that masked guy (Patrick? Noel? Oh, Valentine!) from the other day.

"Oh, hey!" she said.

Valentine offered a grin.
"Hey there," he replied, catching the spheres and finishing the routine with a showy bow. "I was in the neighbourhood and I thought I'd swing by to say hello."
He glanced past her for a moment, taking note of the wrapped gift on the bed. "Someone here wouldn't happen to be celebrating a birthday today, would they?"

Will applauded at his routine, and shoved some of the junk on her bed over in case he wanted a place to sit down. They really needed to get a couple of chairs in this place.

"Actually, someone would. I'm 16 today.!"

"Sixteen is a good number," Valentine stated with a nod, not really offering any reason why 16 is a better number than any other. "I recovered from a case of the sixteens last year. Made it to see seventeen. Heck, if I survive until next month, I'll have dealt with another number, myself. Congratulations on that, then."
He took a seat on the freshly cleared bed and leaned forward, smiling. "You're spending your day in here, then? Doing nothing in particular? Seems to me to be an odd way to celebrate Will Day."

Will nodded. This guy was a little confusing, but she still understood the gist of what he was trying to get across. She wondered if he birthday really was on Valentine's Day, and giggled a little at th thought.

"Well, for now, anyways. I've heard that it's Utopia Night tonight, so I'm thinking I might go check that out. How can you say no to pie and kittens?"

importantman January 19 2007, 22:15:45 UTC

"Utopia night? What's that? If there's pie, I might have to check it out, myself."
Because... pie.

"Some kind of party that someone's organized, I guess. All I know is that the posters make it sound pretty good."

She also secretly hoped that the free plushies might have included frogs.

"I'm all in favor of pie," Valentine stated, nodding. "So, that's how you're going to spend your birthday, then?"

notawitch January 20 2007, 05:17:51 UTC

"Yeah, pretty much. I'm not great at planning parties, and ever since my parents' divorce my birthdays have been pretty simple."

She looked at him. "Unless you have a better idea?"

importantman January 20 2007, 05:22:05 UTC

Valentine shrugged.
"I really don't know the place well enough to suggest something else. Utopia party? Sounds great. Mind if I tag along? I'd like any excuse possible to stay away from my psychopathic roomie as long as possible."

notawitch January 20 2007, 05:26:25 UTC

"Sure!" she said. "I'm pretty sure it's an open party, so I don't see any reason why you couldn't show up too."

importantman January 20 2007, 05:31:12 UTC

Valentine seemed rather pleased at this.
"Well, I might as well join you there tonight, then. How does that sound? I don't know too many people here yet..."
