Summary; A friendly game of never have I never
Log;

It's just a small sort of party, but Lucy doesn't have people over that often so she's excited. She spent most of the day cooking food that's appropriate for drinking like hot wings, chex mix, chips and dip, celery and carrot sticks with ranch, pigs in blankets and red velvet cake for dessert.

She straightened the house in a whirlwind, put the rabbit in his cage and picked some good music. she cleaned the stripper pole too, because that was always a fun party activity. The bar was open and she'd set clean shot glasses out. By the time the first person arrived, Lucy was ready, dressed in a pair of snug jeans and a v-neck tee shirt. She's barefoot and she's left her hair down in loose, bouncy curls around her shoulders.

She throws the door open with a big smile, steps back and invites the first arrival in. Bryant, the Newfoundland is in his normal 'we have company' spot under the table (he'll come out later when he's comfortable with everyone) and Masha, the brainwashed-by-a-time-lord, ginger cat is watching everything from the back of the couch.

"Come on in!"

[ This marks the most outgoing Hei's been in -- it's disquieting to voice the actual number of years. He's not the sort to socialize. 'Li' because he's painfully shy. Hei because he's coldly misanthropic. Even in the City -- especially in the City -- he can barely bring himself to talk to his neighbors. He's perfectly in his element in war-zones. Anything else, he has no tolerance for. ]

[ But it pays to be friendly, now and then. Lucy's been here a few years. He could get interesting information from her. Self-benefit, in the end, is the root of all 'Li's sweetness. He's already familiarized himself with her apartment's perimeters -- old habit. When she opens her door, his mask is in full play. Timid gaze and self-effacing slouch. And, mirable visu, he's combed his hair and tucked his shirt in. ]

Ah! Hello, Miss Lucy. [ Blushing, he holds up a wrapped dish. Cheese and pine nut pie. Mmm. ] I, um, brought a little something along.

a little while after Li arrives

[It's finally cold enough that Korra had to replace the jacket she left behind in the shed, and she's getting tired enough of laundry that picking up a few more shirts & pants wouldn't hurt either. And so she and Chekov had gone shopping. It was surprisingly fun. They both picked up some goofy t-shirts and gag gifts just for laughs. She'd been disappointed when he said he had to go to a party, until he invited her to come along.

Korra's excited. The only party she's ever been to had been an extremely formal event, and a ruse for Tarrlok to trick her into joining his task force. The idea of hanging out with people around her age and just having fun is a novelty.

She and Chekov are giggling madly as they knock on Lucy's door. Why? Well, it might have something to do with Korra's shirt (currently hidden under her new jacket) and the stylish mustache sunglasses they're both sporting.]



[ooc: I figure Li and Lucy can chat as long as y'all want, and whenever that thread wraps up you can hop over here? Chekov stuff done with Veda's permission.]
