Francine's Birthday Party, Sixth Floor Common Room, Thursday Late Afternoon/Evening

Katchoo had felt justified in blowing most of her last paycheck on food for this party, because this was a girl who would eat half-raw macaroni and cheese if left to her own devices and you really didn't want her cooking. It helped to have a radio cohost who ran the diner and could be shamelessly self-modded and had the weirdest mushy soft spot for her and Francine, so she'd been able to call in favors from Lacey, who'd supplied trays of sandwiches, salads, a couple of fancy-looking pasta dishes, and a large chocolate and raspberry mousse cake.

She'd thought setting up for the party would be a lot harder, but . . . eh, this wasn't the kind of party that you had just to see how many high-profile politicians you could get blackmail material on in one night. Simple enough. And as far as Katchoo was concerned, a hell of a lot more important.

The music for the night was a combination of Griffin Silver and the Beatles, there was extra room on the tables for food in case anyone else felt like bringing stuff, Clocky made occasional tweeting circuits of the room, and the ball pit was there for you if you needed it.

And Katchoo was even around, her usual diffident expression dialed down half a notch. The things we do for love, man.

. . . and then a bed of plastic squirt flowers sprang up in one corner of the room near the ballpit. Sigh. Happy frikkin' April Fool's.

[OOC: Up eeeeeeeeearly for SP, with the caveat that [livejournal.com profile] thatsamilkshake will be AFK until evening EST and can has a birthday girl! Wait for the OCD or I'mma sic Clocky on you OCD is up, party is open, huzzah and go forth and all that jazz.]

"Yeah, she's great," Kennedy said-- and scowled at him. "Hey."

Mat's innocent look wasn't that innocent. "Hmm?"

Hey, that was a lot like her not so innocent innocent look. Trippy.

"Did you just try to imply I'm not all that?" Kennedy demanded, luckily more amused than affronted, if the laughter was any clue.

"Oh, but you aren't interested in what I think of you," Mat teased.

"No, but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate it," Kennedy shot back, grinning.

"Then you should know that I think you have beautiful eyes and a lovely smile," Mat said, winking.

"Score points for you not being blind," Kennedy declared, crossing her arms and laughing. "Nice touch with the compliments there too, by the way."

"They're both true," Mat said, "which helps."

"Damn right they are." See, the polite thing to do here, Kennedy, would be to return the favor. "Glad you see it my way. And now I'm kinda regretting that we can't, like, go hang out and check out girls somewhere."

"We could bring Tara?" Mat suggested.

Don't tempt her, Mat. "That miiiiiiiiight," Kennedy remarked, "be an interesting idea."
