Sixth Floor; Thursday Night

[glacial_queen]

Going straight from Ino's party to setting up her own was easy, what with them both being on the sixth floor and all. Though Karla did plan on expanding her party a wee bit after Ino's was over--the ballpit thingy was fun!

But anyway, now was the time for the girliest girl party to ever be very girly. Okay, possibly not the girliest (she'd heard about the incredible pinkness of the first sorority meeting and shuddered), but still pretty damn girly. It would be like an antidote for the excessive maleness of yesterday. Just a slumber party for the girls (and Layla, but it wasn't her fault she was stuck like that) with food, makeup, drinks, even some arts and crafts! Mostly because she had to get rid of the supplies she'd bought for making Tahiri's banner for last week. She was going to set up a table in the back of the room where people could paint or color or do whatever.

She called in her art supplies, sending them to the designated table: glue, pens, pencils, crayons, paints, paintbrushes, charcoal, sketchpads, and a giant jar of glitter. Unfortunately, she'd either overestimated the size of the table or underestimated the amount of supplies she'd managed to pick up. Most of her supplies appeared neatly on the table, except for the glitter. That landed on the table's edge, a good half of the jar sticking out over side. It teetered in place for a moment, then decided to take the plunge, flinging itself off the table and onto the heating vents.

Which would have been less of a problem if Karla had properly screwed the lid on the jar after she'd used it last. Upon impact, the lid popped off, and glitter went streaming into the vents. And, of course, caught between the wall and the table, the jar landed on an angle, ensuring that it completely emptied itself. Cue the facepalming. Which nearly turned into headdesking when the most horrible noises started coming from the vents beneath the table. There was a lot Karla didn't know about how ventilation systems worked, but she was fairly certain of one thing: glitter and screeching sounds were probably a bad sign.

By the time she stopped cursing and realized she could probably just vanish the glitter, it had managed to work itself through the ducts and up into the walls. This resulted in a veritable shower of glitter, as it worked its way out of any available duct and vent in the room. It was even raining down from the ceiling. The glitter-shower wasn't heavy enough to be annoying; just a a few flakes here and there at any given moment. It looked...rather cool, actually. They'd have to keep the food covered, but the overall effect was really pretty. Definitely girly.

"I think I'll keep it," she said aloud. "Let the festivities begin!"

[Yay Sapphic Lovefest 2009! Sorry it's up so late. My lazy day turned out to be anything but. Hold for OOC is up!]

"Well, a future, anyway. Did anyone tell you about the future kids yet?" Dinah checked, biting her lip.

Hayley shook her head. "What's that?" she asked.

"After Prom night, all these little kids show up, who might be your future kids. Or might not." Dinah shook her head. "Some of them you couldn't have at the same time, and all, sooooo... some futures might happen, not all of them." She paused. "Okay, I suck at explaining."

Re: Arrive, Chat, and Make out! Err, I mean, Mingle

Hayley's head kind of hurt.

"I thought it took a lot longer for kids to show up after Prom night," she said.

Re: Arrive, Chat, and Make out! Err, I mean, Mingle

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"So did we all," Dinah said dryly. "But you get time-traveling kids. Even if you don't go to Prom." She shrugged. "Anyway. I might be from your future. Or a different one."

"I could be your grandma!" Hayley joked, giggling.

Dinah paused, blinking about that, doing the math in her head, and said, "I guess? Maybe?" Not that she wanted to get into not knowing who her dad was or anything. "Although, my mom wasn't from New Jersey, sooo..."

Re: Arrive, Chat, and Make out! Err, I mean, Mingle

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Well, neither am I," Hayley said. "Gotham born and raised."

Re: Arrive, Chat, and Make out! Err, I mean, Mingle

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah frowned, then blinked. "New Gotham's in New Jersey. Where's your Gotham?"

Re: Arrive, Chat, and Make out! Err, I mean, Mingle

"Illinois," Hayley said. "You know, the biggest city."

That place where Chicago should be.

"Hunh. Totally different then," Dinah said, surprised. "Anyway. How are you liking living in the future, then?"

Re: Arrive, Chat, and Make out! Err, I mean, Mingle

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I love it," Hayley said. "Like I said, it beats home. It may be tiny, but it's a lot more fun."

"Not much to do in 1962?"

Re: Arrive, Chat, and Make out! Err, I mean, Mingle

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oh, there was plenty," Hayley said. "But I don't got my mom and dead breathing down my neck all the time, you know?"

Re: Arrive, Chat, and Make out! Err, I mean, Mingle

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Yup." Not that Dinah would've minded having either. "I think I saw you in Gun Club one time?"

Re: Arrive, Chat, and Make out! Err, I mean, Mingle

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yeah," Hayley said. "I got a lot to learn. The big guns kinda scare me, though. I'm so tiny, you know?"

Dinah blinked, then considered from her own height, where most girls were, well. Short. Although Hayley was taller than Tahiri by a couple inches, maybe? But yeah, still small. "Seriously, it's not size, it's strength. You just gotta get used to the recoil, and get a gun that's the right size for your hands." She smiled. "But Triela's great for teaching that stuff."

Re: Arrive, Chat, and Make out! Err, I mean, Mingle

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Hayley said. "I mean, all I ever done was hit a guy with a crowbar once. And get punched in the face at Fight Club. Not much of a strength kind of girl."

Re: Arrive, Chat, and Make out! Err, I mean, Mingle

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Um. Okay." Dinah grinned. "Well, that's why we've got the weight rooms, right? So we can get stronger. As well as Fight Club for practice."

Re: Arrive, Chat, and Make out! Err, I mean, Mingle

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

Hayley nodded. "Plus Azula's training, which is helping lots and lots."

Re: Arrive, Chat, and Make out! Err, I mean, Mingle

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Oh you're training with her too?" Dinah said, surprised. "Hunh. That's cool. What are you guys working on? Flexibility?"

Re: Arrive, Chat, and Make out! Err, I mean, Mingle

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oh, everything," Hayley said. "Because she needs better than what I am for a friend. So, I gotta improve on balance and strength and everything."

Re: Arrive, Chat, and Make out! Err, I mean, Mingle

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"..." Dinah wasn't entirely sure on how to respond to that, but she said, "Azula's got pretty high standards. Harsh, even." Because Azula was more than a little scary when she wanted to be, as well as creepy-intense with a temper. "So, if you want to improve, I'm sure she'll figure out a program for you?"

Re: Arrive, Chat, and Make out! Err, I mean, Mingle

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Hayley said. "If you ever see me just standing on one foot? It's cause of her."
