Farewell Slumber Party, 6th Floor, Wednesday Night

[glacial_queen]

By now, Karla was used to throwing parties at school. The set-up was easy enough: lots of food, lots of drinks, lots of games and activities, lots of space. There were some streamers and balloons up, mostly because Karla was trying to remind everyone (or, at least, herself) that this was supposed to be a happy occasion.

Really. It was. At least, that's what everyone kept telling her.

The important thing to keep in mind was that there would (probably) be no repeat of her last sixth floor party sadly. She had gone the safe an glitter-free route this time. Clad in her new pajamas, Karla waited for her guests to arrive.

[Yay for slumber parties. For girls only (and our honorary girl for the evening), up early for great SP justice. Please hold for OCD up!]

"Males aren't genetically, predisposed to being incapable of handiwork," Karla protested. "Lord Aldric is an amazing tailor! And Lord Bernard is a very fine jeweler!"

Rilla sniffed. "They don't make lace, do they?"

Karla frowned. "I have no idea," she admitted. "I suppose I could find out."

In her mind, lace was an intrinsic type of fabric, like silk or wool or something. The idea that it came from somewhere was...almost boggling.

"Can you make lace?"

Rilla could barely make a scarf, and fibbing, however tempting at this moment, was just not something she could bring herself to do.

"No," she admitted. "But Susan can."

"What happens if you find a male who can?" Karla asked.

She was already wondering if she could find one who could, just to see Rilla's head explode.

This was, of course, very different than her beliefs about how males and females were intrinsically different. That was backed up by Craft.

Rilla wrinkled up his nose. "People would talk like they do about Norman Douglas," she declared.

Re: Arrive & Mingle

"Does Norman Douglas make lace?" Karla asked, almost fascinated. An entire town of Rillas. It was like a horror-story come to life.

Maybe she'd tell Ben it one day.

Rilla nodded. "It's just not natural," she hissed. "He also picks fights with ministers and never goes to church."

Re: Arrive & Mingle

Karla thought about pointing out how also never went to church, and then realized she wouldn't be making Norman Douglas's life any easier if she did.

"What's a minister?" she asked instead.
