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 Lassiters' arrival

[Jocelyn managed to force Bobby into the only dress she apparently owns, because they were invited for dinner and she intends to put an effort in, dammit. Bobby did manage to convince Jocelyn that they're not expected to bring anything, but she did force them both out to buy a centerpiece from the nearest florist. Some things are just appreciated, apparently.

Bobby is the first one to knock on the door (or a door, anyway. This one looks promising), still scowling a bit about the dress.]

Luke

Luke enters at the same time as David. He's really been hoping this is representative of times to come, because he loves food, and he especially loves it when it's free. He and David had a conference and decided to bring a savoury jelly because people bring that sort of stuff to parties, don't they? It's funky party food! Anyway, the moment Luke enters the room, the jelly is brought to the kitchen and carefully placed into the fridge, Luke carefully dodging any cooks and helpers.

After which, he makes his way back to the main room. Or hallway. Or other room. Or wherever people are congregating because Charles and Erik's friends are bound to be interesting.

Alex

[ That's a lot of people, and Alex knows some of them — has been learning to trust some of them to some extent — but there's just as many that he doesn't know at all and it makes him uncomfortable. This entire place has him on edge, but that's beside the point.

He's shown up early, helped with setting the table because he felt like he should, somehow. The more people trickle in, though, he more withdrawn he becomes.

[Oh hey Alex how do you feel about being forced into social interaction with small children?]

Is there more punch? I think we're out.

[Which she just informed him after crawling out from under one of the buffet tables where drinks and nibbles are being served.

[Jocelyn got an eyeful of your jelly thing before it got whisked off the the fridge.]

Well that was certainly something.

[ Not very good at all, so forgive him if he holds himself a little stiffly, jaw squared and shoulders back. ]

What am I supposed to do about that?
horseish: (well duh)

[personal profile] horseish 2013-02-17 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe you could find out where's there's more.

[Jeez, teenagers man.]
hexuality: (skyward; hopefully)

ginny.

[This ginger witch arrives fashionably late because she's been caught up in reunions—so she might not stay very long, either, but as if she could decline! So Ginny slips in when there's a handful of people already there and she hasn't brought anything except an apple pie (picked up from her favourite bakery in the City on the way here). And instead of risking it being knocked over in her hands by navigating through people, she settles for levitating it over everyone's heads and into the kitchen, wand aloft as she does so.

Yes, there's a pie floating just under the ceiling. Mind your heads.]

[personal profile] wreakings 2013-02-17 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
And you couldn't?

[ What. ] Fine.
horseish: (moping)

[personal profile] horseish 2013-02-17 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably but I'm only ten you probably know where things are better.

[She has one concession.]

I can help you carry it.
wreakings: (☢ l o s t)

[personal profile] wreakings 2013-02-17 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It's probably in the fridge. [ And look, he'll even go to check. You can come, or not. He doesn't care, really. ]
horseish: (in the woods)

[personal profile] horseish 2013-02-17 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[She will because you are crabby and oddly funny, Alex.]
wreakings: (☢ c o n f i n e m e n t)

[personal profile] wreakings 2013-02-17 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's not funny, leave him alone.

No, really. But see, there's punch in the fridge and he pulls it out.
] There.
horseish: (serious)

[personal profile] horseish 2013-02-17 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

[She'll take it two-handed. But doesn't seem to be moving yet.]

Do you live here?
horseish: (persed lips)

[personal profile] horseish 2013-02-17 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[And here's a very short ten year old trying to jump and touch it. Not luck yet.]

[Tommy, actually, has been slinking around a while, because he doesn't mind being quietly helpful as long as no one calls attention to the fact. It's a family thing, okay. But he's cool with dragging in extra chairs (vibrating them through the walls, because he's a bit of a show-off), helping out with cleaning dishes and any less-intensive cooking things, whatever.

Other than that he's hanging around, stalking his weirdly young grandfather watching people, sneaking bits of food, and trying not to think anything incriminating.

For someone whose life is basically a continuum of weird situations, this dinner party is still setting the bar pretty high.]

Maybe.

[ He doesn't really know if he's staying around at all. ] I don't know.
horseish: (well duh)

[personal profile] horseish 2013-02-17 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
How do you not know where you live?
lionesque: (serious)

we're meant to be together I'll be there and you'll be here?

[personal profile] lionesque 2013-02-17 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jocelyn is attempting to carry something out from the kitchen (yes she is a guest, but everyone is being so kind and she couldn't not offer to help) when it slips slightly out of her hands and someone with hyperspeed powers might be useful about now...]
wreakings: (☢ b u r n)

[personal profile] wreakings 2013-02-17 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I only got here this morning. [ Terse. ]
horseish: (persed lips)

[personal profile] horseish 2013-02-17 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Am I bovvered though]

So did my sister but that means she probably won't be staying so she definitely doesn't live here.]
hexuality: (raised brows; if you say so)

[personal profile] hexuality 2013-02-17 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Because she doesn't do this hovering at the edges of parties thing, Ginny marches right up to someone she doesn't know to introduce herself.]

Hullo. Who brought you along, then?
hexuality: (smiling & not hiding it; snort)

[personal profile] hexuality 2013-02-17 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ginny grins and lifts the pie a bit higher with a flick of her wand.]

Oi. That's for later.
team_sociopath: (][touchy-feely bullshit)

i'll be there for you, these five words i swear to you okay i can't do that sorry

[The neat thing about Tommy is that he has excellent reflexes. Like, abnormally excellent, which isn't really surprising all things considered, but it means he's handy to have around when people are throwing swords at you or you're dropping platters.

It manages to travel about an inch downward before it's in his hands, which means, hi, there's a white-haired teenager in your face now.]
horseish: (pocket watch)

[personal profile] horseish 2013-02-17 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
How are you doing that?

[Her professional magician's eye is looking for hidden wires or traps or mirrors right now.]
