MHA #6, Thursday Evening - PARTY!

Liam and Verity had decided to celebrate the whole 'officially moving in together' with a housewarming of sorts. Never mind that even before the rest of his stuff had made it over there, Liam had basically been living at the apartment in practice if not in name. Look, they wanted to throw a party, they were throwing a party. 'Housewarming' was just a convenient excuse.

The weapons that usually were strewn about the apartment had all been stashed in the bedroom, and there was a good selection of food and drinks (both alcoholic and non) laid out on the kitchen table. They might be in debt to the various restaurants in Fandom for providing the spread, but no one wanted to nosh on Verity's "leftover Chinese food fajita specials." The mice had even been bribed with a selection of the appetizers to stay away from the table of food. (They had not, however, been expressly forbidden from trying to convince anyone to give them food once it had left the table, so... fair warning.)

Coats go in the spare room and please don't touch the Barbie Dream House. Unless invited to by the mice, of course.

[ooc: up early for SP because things like timezones and work get in the way. open to all friends, neighbours, ex-housemates, coworkers, friends-of-friends, etc. basically, if you're an adult you got an invite.]

"I put sugar on them and put 'em in the oven with a timer," Jack laughed, "I didn't mix them up or anything. You can buy tubes of cookie dough at the store and just slice them into cookies."

She nodded at the drinks, "Is one of those for me or are you double-fisting your drinks tonight?"

Beau blinked at her, which was a pretty good indication that she'd entirely intended to keep both those drinks for herself, but then sighed and handed one of them over. Aw, look, character growth.

"That's still too much work."

She hadn't used her kitchen to cook a damn thing in the five months she'd been here.

Jack accepted the drink with thanks. "It was kinda fun," she mused, "Fuck knows I hate cooking but baking's kind of fun. It's like tiny violence in an appliance. Sort of satisfying watching the cookies melt and puff and brown up."

Burn, baby, burn.

No one introduce Beau to crême brulée. Ever.

"I mean . . ." She rubbed at the back of her head BioWare NPC style and shrugged. "Put it that way, it sounds a little more appealing? Still not sold though."

Heck, no one introduce Jack to crême brulée or baked Alaska or bananas Foster. That'd be a bad idea.

"It's not a thing I plan to do on the regular," Jack smirked, taking a sip of whatever it was Beau had handed her, "This was a special occasion and all. I usually just bring booze but I didn't know what kind these fuckers drank and why waste good whiskey if they're wine snobs, you know?"

The drink was mostly vodka and just enough Coke to add fizz and a touch of flavor, like it had been an afterthought. Which it was.

"Everybody else brought booze anyway," she said, waving a hand. "It's fine. This way you kinda stand out, you know? Shit, was that a thing I should've done? Bring a gift? Whoops."

At least it wasn't beer. Jack took a healthy slug. Her head swung from side to side in answer, "I checked the internet. It said if they didn't send out a wish list or some shit, gifts were optional. I was just real fuckin' bored this morning is all."

"Oh, okay. Cool, cool. I forget you can do that." Beau snorted. "Looking up information just like that? That's like . . . way fuckin' out there, man."

Guess what she was going to start doing on her phone late at night when nobody had to know she was doing it.

Jack paused, "Right, you're from a world of no tech like Fjord. Sorry. I always fuckin' forget that because this world's a century and a half in the past from mine so the tech here is so goddamn antique it's almost cute."

Jack would introduce Beau to Safe Search On .. except no absolutely she would do no such thing.

Nah, Beau's reactions to non-Safe Search results would be too entertaining.

"It's fine. I'm getting used to it. Not like I've ever been in the habit of doing that anyway," Beau replied.

She'd literally learned Deep Speech as some kind of nerdy impulse, so this was a goddamned lie.
