Something's wrong when you regret

When; Saturday 16 Feb, evening

Rating; PG? Maybe PG13 for language

Characters; Charles has invited the following:
  • Luke
  • David Allard
  • Astrid Allard
  • Tommy Shepherd
  • Billy Kaplan
  • Darwin
  • Alex Summers
  • Jocelyn Lassiter
  • Bobby Lassiter
  • Ginny Weasley

By virtue of living on the Floor of Mutants in this building, Raven Xavier and Sean Cassidy are expected to be there. Or wrangled into the cooking/cleaning crew, however one wants to take it.

Including Charles (the octomom-host) and Erik (the disgruntled bitchy head shark-chef) that brings the total guest list to 14.

Obviously if a guest brings another guest Charles won't make a fuss. This is all his fault, anyway.

Summary; MUTANT/MAGIC DINNER GATHERING (in Erik's one-bedroom apartment, whoops) Human to powered ratio? 3:11

Log; Charles managed to clear out the entire produce section of the first store he went to. Not to mention gaping holes in quite a few shelves (barring the freezer section, though Charles does stand there and stare at ingredient lists in building horror for a while). Naturally he somehow also manages to convince the store to loan him their delivery truck, as he proceeds to greatly diminish the shelves of at least one of the first store's competitors.

Hopefully there's someone around to help Charles bring all this food up. Hopefully they don't mind having their picture taken with the small camera Charles pulls out of his pocket, because that will happen if they mind or not. 

Charles' kitchen, seeing as how it's merely an extension of Erik's at this point, is definitely expected to be used in the cooking preparation - probably by Sean as Charles has been forbidden to assist (no one has TIME to throw a cookbook at his head is what this boils down to, and there aren't enough fire extinguishers around to cope with what may happen if he's rushed otherwise). The bulk of the dinner party will be occurring in Erik's apartment, where the bedroom door is welded shut without a visible seam. Charles' apartment door is open, though by the time things are underway there is a distinct lack of furniture - apparently it all migrated next door.

Barring Sean's apartment, all the other doors on the floor are open with keys in the lock with yellow, blue, or magenta tags labeling the apartment number. No one else lives on this particular level of this particular apartment building, imagine that? Not a single neighbor in sight, how useful.

Charles will say hello to each and every one of you and be the consummate host. Contrary to how it may seem, he's never actually THROWN a party before. Add that to the knowledge that six of the invited attendees won't be around come Monday and Charles will know it the moment they leave, he really wants this to go well. 

Eight mutants. One witch. One god. One Astrid. The Lassiters and David as the partridge in the pear tree only humans on the entire floor.

What about this party could possibly NOT be amazing?



[ooc: HERE THERE BE NO TAGGING ORDER. Just go for it, whatever it happens to be, and have fun! For reference: Erik's apartment is full of metal, complete with a very modern kitchen (though some of the seating and small tables have been liberated from Charles' apartment, and this is very clear.) However in case you were worried your character would be alighting on only metal seating do not fear! There is a low, long black couch that is more than comfortable.

The kitchen and dining room area are connected by large archways, collectively acting as one large room. The bathroom and bedroom have actual doorways - the latter of which is practically impassible as Erik has sealed the door.

[ The thing with Darwin is: Alex' power can't hurt him. He'll adapt to survive. So there's no need for the distance, for the tension that he always carries with him around other people, that has become second nature to him to such an extent that he hardly even notices anymore how much he avoids others.

Except — except Darwin died and it was Alex' fault, in a way. Shaw did it, sure, but if not for Alex' energy it wouldn't have happened. He still can't believe that Darwin's gone, that he's not coming back. (That he lost the one person he thought he couldn't hurt.)

So Alex relaxes at first, almost instinctively, then tenses up again almost immediately.

Darwin. [ Fuck. You died. ]
evolv: (they won't know about)

[And Darwin doesn't know, has no idea that seconds after he left the CIA today, Shaw shoves some energy down his throat and-- well anyway, he doesn't know.]

C'mon, man, what gives? What's got you so uptight?
wreakings: (☢ l o n e)

[personal profile] wreakings 2013-02-17 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Give him a moment. In fact, no: As averse as he usually is to contact and to people being close to him, Darwin has been the exception and he's alive right now and Alex isn't going to let loose and — and so he's throwing his arms around Darwin and pulling him close. ]

You died.

[Darwin hugs back, eager to be there for his friend, but stiffens and pulls out of it when Alex speaks.]

I... what? No. No, that's not possible, I'd... [But it's obvious it was possible, so he stops protesting.] ...Shaw?

[ He nods mutely. Shaw indeed — and Alex will probably never forget that, the way Darwin's mutation tried and tried so hard to adapt and couldn't, knowing that it was his energy doing that to the one person he'd thought he couldn't harm.

They should have just let Angel go. It's a selfish thought, but then Darwin would still be alive.

[Darwin nods back, finally understanding what's got Alex so upset. He hugs him again, tight and quick, the very definition of a man hug.]

That's okay, though, that's okay. 'Cause I'm here now. Everything's alright.

[ It's not okay, but Alex isn't going to do something stupid like cry on Darwin's shoulder or tell him he's missed him. It may be obvious from the way he hugs back, just as tight, but only to someone who knows how to read him well. ]

Right, okay. [ Pull yourself together, Summers. ]
evolv: (oh oh oh)

You want to hit me with a chair for old times' sake? [Ah, humor. The age old remedy.]
wreakings: (☢ s m i l e)

[personal profile] wreakings 2013-02-18 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That does get a laugh out of Alex. ] Think I'll pass.
evolv: (oh oh oh)

[personal profile] evolv 2013-02-22 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[That's what he wanted to hear.] You sure? Erik's chairs are metal, we won't break 'em.

[ This place isn't so bad, maybe. ] Yeah, but the prof would frown because we're ruining his dinner party
