The Roof, Friday Late Afternoon Onwards

While Alluka didn't know lots and lots of things, she knew what a tea party meant and, after talks with Ringo and her own experiences at the welcome picnics, she knew that it was important for real parties to have lots of tasty food and fun things to drink. So that was easy enough to figure out! Then she let Ringo handle that.

Which was why there was so much food. Ringo had started by ordering take out "for one" from a bunch of local places, which would probably have been enough on its own. But then she'd found a recipe for fruit punch on the internet, and decided to try that out, and then she'd had a random craving for cherries which had led to a bunch of random fruit. There was even an entire table dedicated to chocolate. You were welcome, Alluka.

Alluka handled the decorations, which meant that come the Friday of the party, ever since just a little past noon, she'd been up on the roof decorating under the critical eye of her bunny and her giraffe (both of whom had differing opinions on everything from glitter placement to balloon placement) but by the time the party was to get started, she'd managed to get it all up, with the tables and chairs and balloons and glitter and banners along the rooftop railing.

Between the two of them, they'd gotten everything set up in time to go and do their hair and change.

Her bunny won the argument between her toys about who got to come with, so her bunny was looking very smart indeed with its ears tied back with a black and white scrunchie.

Alluka smoothed her new dress down and grinned over at Ringo. While Alluka's dress was white (well, okay, with a little bit of black, but they'd both decided that that didn't count) and her hair was up in an elegant twist (Ringo had helped her do it), Ringo's dress was a deep black and her long hair was loose from its usual pigtails to spill down her back.

Now they just had to hope people came.

[Wait for the OCD is up! Come party!]

Ringo was feeling a bit nervous. She'd never thrown a party before!

She was trying to hide that nervousness, though, and so she had a big smile on her face and was trying to at least say hi to everyone who showed up on the roof. Whether they were there for the party or not.

At some point in the evening, Kathy was going to get an important message on her burner Banzai phone, but until then, she was more than happy to come to a party thrown by Ringo and Alluka. In a cute dress of her own, Kathy made her way up to the roof and whistled at the decorations.

"Wow," she said, looking around. "You two went all out!"

"You know I'm going to keep track of everyone who shows up, right?" Kathy told her with a grin. "So I know which one of us threw the bigger party, you or me."

She had no intentions of doing that at all, of course, but where was the fun in admitting that to Ringo?

The normal grin Ringo would throw back to such a statement was there, but was visibly shakier than usual. "Yeah, well, um, good. That was you'll know that mine was better."

Funny how much less confident than usual she sounded with that come back.

Who could even say whether Ezra had actually seen the posters, or if he just had a sixth sense for parties? Whichever it was, he turned up in a well-fitting high-end suit, and a smile on his face.

He was a natural at parties.

Either way was fine with Ringo! When she spotted him, she made a beeline for Ezra. "Hi!" she chirped with a grin, relieved that people were actually coming! "Thank you for coming to the party! I hope you have fun!"

It was really hard for her not to bob a grateful bow in his direction, but she managed it!

Oh, Ringo! Kathy understood that shaky smile and immediately gave her a hug. "It's going to be fine," she whispered encouragingly. "People are going to show up and they're gonna have fun. And you're gonna have fun. And then we're gonna spend an afternoon arguing over whose was better because they were both really great. I promise."

And there was Kathy, opening her arms and wrapping Alluka up in a tight squeeze. "I do!" she exclaimed. "It's beautiful! And you and bunny are very nicely color-coordinated! Should I go change so I match the decor?"

Ringo found herself relaxing into that hug. Kathy's immediate comfort easily overcoming any tension from hugging Kathy. By the time she pulled away, Ringo was grinning. "You're right," she declared.

"And, really, it's already something of a success because your dress is awesome."

"Thanks!" Kathy said, grinning and giving a little twirl. Her skirt didn't have anywhere near enough fabric to bell, but it was cute and she liked it. "I missed the black and white memo--that or I wanted to stand out. One of those."

She winked at Ringo. "And of course I'm right, I'm always right. One day when you stop arguing with me so much, you might be able to always be right, too."

Kathy whistled at decorations, Ezra whistled at her. Fair trade? Fair trade.

"Looking fantastic, Miss Li."

"And now no one has to worry about losing me amid the balloons," Kathy said, laughing a bit. "Or behind a banner. I'm easy to keep an eye on."

It wasn't as if Ada had anything better to do with her time than try to master Wicked Grace, so up on the roof she was, following the party signs.

She had found a nice dress body-glittered the heck out of her arms and decolletage to camouflage her scales, and tossed on her favorite hat. Ada was ready to party.

Ringo giggled. "I'm sure that'll happen any day now."

She reached down and plucked at her own skirt with a grin. "I don't really think that black is my color, but I wanted to try something different, you know? And it's so pretty."

Kathy turned around to give Ezra a fond smile. "I can only return the compliment there, Mr. Sagishi," she said, looking up at him with dark eyes. "You're looking very dapper. Not that I'm at all surprised."

Ezra wouldn't have minded a bow. But as it was, he grinned back at her. "Oh, I wouldn't miss a party for the world."

Unless there was something more interesting elsewhere. He was kind of fickle, not that he let that get in the way of being charming. He held out his hand.

"I'm Ezra. Hello."
