strawberried (do I really want to go there?), and uh no bad guys. BYOB, the Mario Kart is always on so assume games as you like (and of course everything is unlocked), play nice, don't break anything or Ted will go all Hulk on your ass (more like Kate will kick you out). Poke me with an ooc comment if you want in but don't know if you'd be invited or not. Backdating or assuming is fiiiine.
Log;

They had chips, popcorn, pop, water, juice, and coffee. Teddy had checked three times. He'd also changed his shirt at least four times, and his pants once (they didn't match the shirt), and then he'd had to fix his hair. He didn't know why he was so nervous about having a bunch of friends over to hang out, but really he knew it was because he'd never had people over as a kid. And he'd never gone over to other people's houses. He'd been to high school house parties, but it wasn't the same, he'd never felt comfortable in all that loud music and nearly-naked girls. So what kind of parties did people like him throw for other people like him? He had no idea. He was going by what he'd seen on tv and heard about colloquially, which he was aware wasn't entirely reliable. What if people got bored?

Not to mention he'd ended up inviting way more people than he'd originally planned. It was just that, once he'd invited one person he felt guilty about not inviting someone else or maybe forgetting someone and it just snowballed from there. Hopefully they wouldn't fun out of food. Or space. He'd just realized lately how much time he actually spent with Billy and felt bad for all the friends who had been there for him while Billy had been away.

So rather than count the food again he went into the living room and started flipping through his iPod to find something suiable to listen to. You couldn't go wrong with Arcade Fire, right?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

After coming here with Doumeki, Fai set off to explore. He had only been to one party in his life and being around so many people at once was a bit thrilling, on the best of days. Coming here, he hoped that maybe he could get his mind off of what happened the other day and the things he said.

Spotting Billy on the floor he approached him quietly. Whether this was a normal thing to do at parties he didn't know; he certainly didn't see anyone doing that at Road's birthday party.

"Billy?"

Billy turns to spot Fai, who looks just a little bit lost, which is how he imagines he always looks at parties. Billy's never been a social animal - even friends had been hard to come by, for a long time - so he understands the feelings of confusion that Fai might be feeling at this shindig.

He smiles. "Hey," he says. "I'm glad you came." He is glad that the little mage is there. Fai is starting to feel like a little brother; except way better behaved. "Have you ever played Mario Kart?"

He returned the smile before blinking at the name. Truth be told Fai had yet to even be introduced to video games and the like. There was still so much to learn about in this place.

"Mario Kart?" He shook his head slowly. "No. What is it? Is it a game?"

"Yeah," Billy says a little enthusiastically and he grabs a controller and tugs Fai a little. "Here, sit down, we'll take it easy on you and then you can see if you like it."

He knows that Fai probably has never really played video games, so he explains the controller with a decided bounce of excitement in his voice. "Here," he says, beginning on an easy course. "Don't worry about winning we'll just play to learn."

Of course, feeding off of Billy's nice attitude Fai was beginning to feel much better as well. The game certainly helped as well. It reminded him of what he imagined it would be like driving in those strange vehicles Doumeki told him were cars.

He chewed on his lower lip without knowing as he tried his best not to fall over the edge. "Darn..." Although he knew he wasn't playing to win (yet) he still couldn't help frowning. He'd definitely have to show this game to Yuui later when he got better.

It's probably a sign of how much Billy likes Fai that he resets the level to try again. "Hey, don't worry you'll get better," he assures him. "Lets try again."

He nudges Fai just a little. "Oh, did you want anything to eat?"

Abashed at Billy's reaction to his frustration, Fai nodded and smiled up at him. "It just takes practice, right?"

He blinked again and looked to the screen in thought. "No...Not yet." He had seen the platters of food earlier, but he had been unsure of whether he was allowed to eat any of it yet.

Or maybe that was just his bashfulness coming out to rear it's ugly head at him in the most inopportune times.

"Yep. Practice a lot and you'll get better than me." Although considering how much Billy plays, Fai has a lot of catching up to do. "Come on, let's grab something to eat. I think if food doesn't start disappearing Teddy'll have a coronary."

It did worry him, just a touch, how much Teddy was investing into this party, thing, whatever. Not enough though that he pulled his boyfriend aside. Yet. "You can have as much as you like."

"Heh, maybe. Although, that may not be for a long time." His smile brightened when Billy offered to go eat, getting up to follow him out. Then a thought struck him.

"Billy, what does Teddy look like?" Fai had yet to see him here and he'd be lying if he said he didn't want to meet him. His cheeks flushed lightly at Billy's last comment, knowing if he had his way he'd try at least three of everything they were serving. Fai found discovering new foods to eat extremely enjoyable, if not a guilty pleasure.

"Well, only if you want to be." He smiles back and heads into the kitchen, loading up on snacks.

The question makes Billy filter his thoughts. Whenever someone asks what Teddy looks like he has to stop so that he doesn't start babbling about how perfect he looks - not that he really would look perfect to anyone else, Billy fully realizes - so he takes a moment and after the moment is over he replies. "He's blond, with blue eyes, taller than me."

He can't see Teddy at that exact moment, so he can't really point him out. "When I see him I'll show you."

Taller than Billy? For a moment Fai wondered when he would stop being so small and finally grew up-- but he dissipated the thought quickly. Perhaps it would have been best not to think about those things when he was in a good mood.

"Alright." He watched the other as he began to compile food, curious as to what exactly he was gathering. He picked up a twinkie package and blinked at it. Was this really food?

It is food - delicious processed preservative filled snackfood goodness. Billy takes two and proceeds to eat one as soon as he finished going mano-a-mano with the plastic wrapper.

"..." Fai watched Billy peel off the wrapper from the twinkie before doing the same himself, if not a bit slower and more concentrated. He brought the junk food to his nose, sniffed it, then took a bite.

...In which he made a face and briefly wondered if it would be rude to spit it back out.

Billy grinned just a little at the look on Fai's face. "You don't have to eat it," he said, holding back a laugh.

"Ew..." Yet, he swallowed what he had already bitten off wondering if drinking something would wash the taste away. Was all food wrapped in plastic that bad? Maybe that was why it was wrapped so oddly.

He couldn't help but give a small pout at Billy, seeing him trying not to laugh, but it disappeared quickly. "What was that called?" So that he could avoid it later in the future.

Billy's already got a glass filled with water for the much shorter mage. "Here," he says, handing it over.

"It's called a twinkee," he explains, undeterred by the pout. "I thought most people liked them."

"Thank you." He said, taking the glass carefully. After taking a few sips, he spoke again. "I've never had one before. It tasted...odd." To be nice about it, anyways. He looked around the kitchen wondering if he would spot something that wasn't wrapped in plastic.

It was a damn shame the counters were just high enough to make looking difficult for him.

"I guess they kind of do," Billy amended a little. He pulled up one of the stools for Fai to sit on. "Here, look around. There's lots of different kinds of food." Thank goodness for Teddy's slight obsession with having enough for everyone.
