Second Floor Common Room; Sunday Evening, 7 pm on: Tannim's Birthday!

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Off on the third floor of Sunset Towers, beside Lake Michigan, in Westingtown, Wisconson, socialite and party planner extrodinair Grace Windsor Wexler might have felt a strange, sudden pang of pride for her youngest daughter.

Turtle had prepared the common room for Tannim's birthday party with a discretely tasteful collection of decorations, a snack spread perfect of any event of this sort, and a great selection of bad, cheesy horror films. Now it was just a matter of people arriving to enjoy it, especially the birthday boy.

Oh, and one other thing, in light of the recent academic of wee-tiny adults. She placed a sign outside the common room:

Tannim Drake's Birthday Party! Here!
Food, fun, and bad horror movies!
(Sponsered by Turtle & Canary, for all your shopping needs)
These movies are too scary for little kids!
No one under the age of twelve admitted!

And, being only a two years (and eleven months) shy of twelve herself, she knew that was just asking for the kids to flock. So she hired out the big Mexican kid to act as bouncer.



[[ yay, birthday! Please wait for OCD ROCK ON! ]]

"Not your fault," Tannim assured her. "Who was that?"

"Uh, that was Mr. Deadpool," Turtle frowned, wondering how best to explain. "He teaches driver's ed, but he's all little right now? Apparantly, a lot of the adults have turned into kids. I came into the store yesterday, and it was the same thing with Jane."

"He seems very protective of you," Tannim said.

That was one way to put it, yes. "Well, I'm kind of his minion. When he's....y'know. Normal."

By normal, she of course meant a grown man who ran around in a masked red costume.

"Minion?"

"Yeah! Y'know, fight crime, wreck havoc...stand around the shop and talk about stuff? He's also the faculty advisor for my club."

"Do you have a costume?" Tannim asked with a smile.

Turtle shook her head, blushed a little because she wasn't sure if he was making fun of her or not. "Nope."

Not yet.

"Too bad," Tannim said. "I think you'd look cute in a cape." Okay, he was teasing a little, but in a nice way.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

Note to self: Costume must have cape.

"Uhhh, thanks." Biting her lip a little, Turtle held back too big of a smile before deciding to switch to a topc that didn't make her feel so blushy and silly. "So, you think you're recovered enough to make it to the sofa? We got lots of really bad old horror movies..."

"Sure," Tannim said. "That sounds good." He smiled at her and pulled himself to his feet, using the wall to steady his balance.

Turtle very quickly moved to help him as best she could to guide him carefully over to the couch (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/1005254.html?thread=82881734#t82881734).
