Raven's Surprise Birthday Party, 6th Floor, Late Friday Afternoon

[glacial_queen]

The sixth floor had been transformed into a proper Winter Wonderland, complete with twinkling lights adorning the walls, and... snow?

Yes, snow. Inside. Don’t ask how it got here. Or why it wasn’t melting despite the fact that the room itself was a comfortable temperature. If someone did ask, the only answer they’d get was a mysterious smile from Karla and a slight waggle of her fingers. Whatever conclusion they wanted to draw from that was fine.

But it wouldn’t be a party without the food, of course, which is why there were several tables with all sorts of (vegetarian-friendly) snacks and drinks, and, yes, a cake. Made by Sookie and not either of the two people organizing this party. Which meant it was safe for human consumption. Speakers hidden behind fake trees were playing soft New Agey music, with a few instrumental holiday carols thrown in. Even some of the tinsel from yesterday had been saved and used to decorate.

Come in, relax, and help the birthday girl celebrate her first party in style.

[Bit of OCD coming UP! WHY DO I ALWAYS FORGET THIS? UGH.]

True; she'd outgrown the crying method a long time ago. Kennedy wrinkled her nose and gave Karla a playfully scandalized look. "Oh, hey. One more person who believes in the power of my amazing bitch-out skills."

She was proud of those, thank you.

"Hey, I've seen them in action," Karla retorted with a grin. "You've made a believer out of me!"

Kennedy breathed on her fingernails and made a show of polishing them on her shirt, then snapped her fingers and pointed at Karla, still looking thoroughly amused.

"Exactly. So I'm hoping this means you factored 'em in while you were figuring out how much food to get."

"We deliberately bought less so you could show off your stuff in front of others," Karla deadpanned.

"Nobody needs to see me go maximum-bitchface on Raven's birthday," Kennedy replied, equally deadpan, because please-- like she actually exercised that amount of consideration.

"But you'd be doing it on Raven's behalf!" Karla protested. "It's like the food-equivalent of slaying the fearsome creature for the lady-fair!"

"As long as that doesn't mean I end up winning the lady-fair's hand," Kennedy decided, "that's pretty cool. 'cause if the whole metaphorical hand thing comes with it, that could get complicated."

"How would you get her hand, exactly?" Karla asked, looking dubious.
