Sixth Floor Common Room, Thursday Evening

[wasthecuteone]

It was Petra's birthday, and she was throwing her own party, thank you very much, because she deserved a party, and also cake. There were streamers and balloons, a cake she'd picked up at J,GoB (She didn't realize it yet, but the inside looked like this. It would be a delightful surprise) and ice cream, along with chips and dips and plenty of other moddable snacks and drinks. There was a handwavey party playlist pumping from Petra's iPod's speaker dock, and there was a ball pit. What more could any party want? Petra was pretty sure the answer was nothing. Come on, ball pit.

The birthday girl was wearing a green velvet party dress and her sparkly gold boots. She had on black leggings under the dress, though, because she was totally getting in that ball pit and didn't want to flash anyone. Especially, you know, considering, but mostly just in general.

((Open party is open to all!))

2nd Floor Common Room [Thursday, Late Afternoon]

Today was a quiet day. Kate hadn't even done her usual training routine. She took issue with running outside as soon as the weather reached the sort of level that risked her ploughing into another person, wall, or poorly placed tree thanks to pelting rain, mud and cold.

... Yeah, and if she was quite honest, she just wasn't feeling it this week. But the wet and cold was a good excuse.

All of which led to Kate being here, in the common room, half-reading a book on cryptids. Which in her experience, did exist, and usually had teeth. Metaphorically or literally. Too many times to count had she found this out at the wrong moment. Her mind however, was also half on the upcoming holiday, and how best to break it to Greg that she really didn't want to come back for it.

The large plate of cookies on the coffee table had been found behind the door. It was likely she was waiting for a suitable guinea pig before she risked trying them herself.
