Log; closedish // Dorks can party too

[politehulk.livejournal.com]

When; Friday, May 1st, night
Rating; T for Teens And People Who Still Act Like Them
Characters; politehulk, repeatshimself, girlwithabow to host, others to follow.
Summary; Ted has people over to chill. Mario Kart. Dorkiness. Not as exciting as Threnody body shots, but hay, we do our best.
Note: I'm feeling kind of off tonight so tags might be slow, but feel free to mingle amongst yourselves (ie threadjack) to your heart's content. If you want my attention put something in the subject line. Invitees include YA, fortalkingback, alittlecredit & whoever he wants to bring, filmbyzach & adamantined & whoever they want to bring, misterblackbird, peopleskills, gracedfall & isabeansprout & 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?

"..." 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.

[gracedfall.livejournal.com]

"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.

"What do you like best, Billy?" Fai was willing to eat anything, even if it was wrapped in plastic-- just so long as it wasn't a twinkie again. He got up on the stool, setting the glass of water down and stared at a few of the platters, hungrily.

[inmyothertights]

"Pizza." Billy pulls a slice of cheese and puts it on a plate for Fai. "Have you ever had any?"

[gracedfall.livejournal.com]

He looked up in thought and shook his head. "No. Is that what this is?" He looked down at the plate of food.
