Sixth floor common room- Sunday evening

[lovethatjourney]

The way Alexis was thinking, they'd have a raging party tonight, wake up tomorrow with mild hangovers, and then spend the rest of the day at the beach, because wasn't that what Memorial Day was all about?

She did not know she was expected to be in class tomorrow.

The lights were lower, there was a dance floor, the music was actually probably a little loud, and there were tables set up with all sorts of beverages. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. She also was maybe iffy on exactly what Memorial Day was commemorating, because aside from the distinct red, white and blue theme, it was very much a celebration of something or other.


[Open party! Feel free to have gotten a mass text invite or having seen the flyers or heard radio.]

You know, that was actually the first time anyone had asked that particular question?

“No,” Jules shook her head. “That’s Camden. My familiar.”

"Like, you guys have known each other a long time?" Alexis said slowly.

“No,” Jules sighed. “I’m a naturalist. That’s someone who has,” another sigh, “magic, with plants and animals. My gift called Cam to me when she was a cub, and now we are connected. We each can feel what the other feels.”

So technically also yes to your question, Alexis!

"So, if, say, hypothetically, someone pissed you off, could you like, sic a cat on them? Just curious."

Had you gotten that question before, Jules?

Shockingly, she had not!

“I could,” she admitted, in a way that probably made it clear that she absolutely had. Not always intentionally! But she was... not always good at reining in her emotions, let’s be real.

"Good. to. know," Alexis said, filing that away for later. "Anyway I'm Alexis."

“Juillenne,” she introduced herself. “Is this your party?”

(Camden, for the record, was not currently being sicced in anything except perhaps the snacks table, and that entirely of her own volition.)

"Yes! We're celebrating the arrival of summer with drinks and friends," Alexis explained.

Re: Arrive and mingle

[legionqueen]

“Oh!” Jules grinned. “We have something like that where I’m from too. Although Beltane usually involves more bonfires. And sex.”

Re: Arrive and mingle

[lovethatjourney]

"Well this probably would have if I'd had more time," Alexis admitted.

Re: Arrive and mingle

[legionqueen]

Honestly, given how the last Beltane she'd celebrated had gone, Jules was perfectly fine with a Fandom celebration being completely different.

"Bit of a last minute decision, wasn't it?" she asked, remembering the radio broadcast this morning.

"I've been here two weeks and there hasn't been a single party, and it's a holiday, and this could not stand," Alexis explained. "I had to do something about it, so I just kind of threw this together."

Re: Arrive and mingle

"Well, I'm impressed," Jules told her sincerely. "As is Cam."

Honestly, Cam wasn't so much 'impressed' as 'hungry', but she'd found herself a plate of little bacon-wrapped something-or-others, so. Same thing.
