5th Floor Common Room, Friday Evening (Annette's Surprise B-Day Party)

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy had never planned a surprise party before. That's okay because this one hadn't been exactly planned either. There was a posterboard sign saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNETTE on it on the wall, and another near a table that said PLACE PRESENTS HERE.

He set about putting out the food he'd gotten and drinks.

[Open to all! OCD coming up!]

There was pizza, and chips, and other party appropriate and moddable foodstuffs. And lots of sodas from a Mainland Trader Joes.

Shirtlessness not required.

Surprise!!

Surprise the Birthday Girl! When she pings in. Billy has handwavily called her and asked her to meet him in the common room at around 7.

OOC

Just because.

Hoshi was there with a crying droid baby. Apparently little Reizo was not going to live up to his name.

Hoshi dropped off her gift, a fancy-looking fountain pen engraved with Annette's initials.

Jack was there, staring at Hoshi and Data's lovechild her class project.

Eve was there and had baby Petunia in one of those baby carriers that you wore on your back.

Boy, was Benicio going to have a WTF moment when he saw that charge on her credit card.

Hoshi was choosing to ignore the staring as she tried to soothe Reizo. "Hi Jack. How are you doing today?" she asked.

Naomi was there and mingling.

Naomi hadn't been sure what to get Annette so she got her a card and put a $20 note in it.

"Oooh, I wish I had thought of that," said Hoshi, looking at the baby carrier. "Someone at the language club also came up with a sling for carrying the baby. All I know is that trying to juggle him and a dog leash didn't work so well this morning."

"Hey Hoshi." Billy greeted her. "I hope that's not for Annette." he teased.

Another robot baby. Did people have the wrong idea about what kind of party this was? "Hey Eve. Who's the rugrat?"

Re: Arrive, Mingle, Nosh

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Oh yay she didn't have a baby! "Naomi! Hey! What've you been up to?"

Re: Arrive, Mingle, Nosh

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"I'm doing good," he said as his mun messed up the coding about her Datababy.

"Um. Congratulations?" he ventured, nodding at...the... the baby-thing.

Jack was working on how this could not be awkward to be at a party for a person who you--

Hey, pizza!

"She can have him if she wants," joked Hoshi, but that only made Reizo howl even more.

"It's the assignment for Professor Skywalker's class," she explained to Billy. "My partner and I get to be parents for a week."

Re: Arrive, Mingle, Nosh

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Petunia," Eve said cheerfully. "She's my droid baby from Professor Skywalker's Ethics class."

Re: Arrive, Mingle, Nosh

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"... Why were you juggling a dog leash?" Eve asked, not entirely sure she wanted to know. Though she was reasonably certain the dog leash hadn't been for the baby.

"I think you'd better wait until the assignment's over before congratulating me on the grade," said Hoshi. "I've barely managed 24 hours and I didn't even have any classes today."

Re: Presents

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy left a wrapped package (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/103-7667237-9143017?url=search-alias%3Dtoys-and-games&field-keywords=Spy&x=17&y=18) on the table, topped with a 30 dollar gift card. One of those that can be used almost everywhere.

I couldn't decide which of the things at the linked page to get her, so pick one or two.

"I tried to take the baby with me while walking the dog and found that I didn't have enough hands for both," explained Hoshi.

Re: Arrive, Mingle, Nosh

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I can see how that wouldn't have worked." Eve tilted her head and looked at the baby. "So how's it going with the little one?"

Re: Arrive, Mingle, Nosh

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Oh I see." Billy nodded. "I think I'd heard of that before. Any idea what he's upset about?"
