Kitty's birthday : Mingle!

[passingthrough]

Who: Kitty's friends, anyone Pinkie or Winn would have invited, people who would be on the ship anyway, party crashers, etc. They probably tried to keep it small and then failed hard. Feel free to assume you heard about it.
Broadcast: N/A
Action: The Tourist
When: August 15

[Kitty was not expecting a surprise birthday party because while it is the date of her birth, her last birthday was about seven months ago because abductions that can happen from any time make things weird. And then there's also the part where Winn got attacked by Sascha and she and Winn had their first significant fight and things have been on the rough side. Of course, with people like Winn and Pinkie Pie in her life she really should have known better.

So, here we are on The Tourist with dancing in the cargo hold. Winn's phone is playing mustic amplified by Cisco's speakers. There are snacks, beverages, and cake in the kitchen. With Pinkie Pie helping out and some of the stores of food they built up from the time on the hand holding planet you can expect better-than-spacefood quality. And if you need more privacy, Winn opened his room up, but he did include a sign that says no making out complete with a disappointed frowny face, so you would never! Probably.

Enjoy the party! Kitty is turning 20 years and 7 months today? Yeah, there may be another birthday party for her coming up. She's probably doomed to have two per year. Of course you have to get gifts for both!]

OTA, Birthday girl!

[passingthrough]

[You might find her just arriving to see Winn and looking confused by the party atmosphere or maybe that part has worn off and she's passed straight into "as long as this crazy thing is happening, I might as well enjoy it!" mode. Expect dancing. Lots of dancing. It's kind of her favorite. Not that she's turning food or presents away.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

Happy birthday, Kitty!

[Even though ALL THESE PIES could technically count as a gift, Pinkie comes forward with a small, square package wrapped in brown but very smooth paper, tied with a dark blue, satin-shined ribbon.]

[passingthrough]

Pinkie, I should have known you were involved. [The party conspiracy thickens!]

What's that? [It's a present, Kitty. They existed in your world too. Come on.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[What a tweest!]

Hee, you'll have to unwrap it and find out, won't you?

[And once she does, Kitty'll find... a small, handbound book, smelling like the leather and paper goods of the last planet. Inside are recipes and picture, han-- er, MOUTHwritten by Pinkie herself. All the recipes they collected, prepared, and served during the pizza party, all the pies present here, even a few from Pinkie's home world, if the generous use of oats is any indicator.]

[preformthisneigh]

[Sup, Kitty. Eventually the second party horse will pay her a visit. He doesn't really have a gift because he kind of sucks at the personal details as much as Pinkie excels at them. He is, however, carrying an accordion.]

Heeeeey birthday girl. I know you already had your special birthday song, but I wondered if you'd like another?

[passingthrough]

[Are you the party horse of parties present? Will the party horse of parties future come to her next?

It's okay. Seeing a talking pony with an accordion is more than enough gift for one life time.]

I don't even know how I could begin to say no to that.

[preformthisneigh]

[If he ever decides to leave the former Stepford Smiler village he lives in, sure! ]

Great! That's what I always like to hear.

[And now she gets to observe the glorious sight of a creature with hooves playing an accordion. He does it pretty well, all things considered. ]

♪ Happy birthday dear Kitty
Have a birthday ditty!
I hope your day is real thrilling
And many drinks you'll be swilling!

[beathach]

[he isn't much for parties, but he'll certainly stop over to wish her a happy birthday in person]

So, am I teasing you for being young or because you're getting old?

[important questions, here]

[passingthrough]

Tease me for having a birthday seven months after my last one. [Also, she's coming in for a hug. If you suspect she's been drinking, you're not wrong.]

[beathach]

[Kitty don't drink and hug. But he'll hug her back, leaning down some to make it easier on them both]

Two in one year? I don't know, some people would envy that.

Re: OTA, Birthday girl!

[tallasaking]

[Well that is good, because Tyrion is here and Tyrion has presents. Yes, presents plural. Don't be surprised, Kitty, you are one of his favorite people after all.

He'll just wait over here for when you're done with dancing, though.]

[passingthrough]

[She smiles to her partner when the music stops and turns to find a Tyrion watching from the wings. She smiles fondly.] I guess they were inviting just anyone to this thing.

[tallasaking]

I know ... it's like they don't know how to keep the riffraff out. Especially those bringing dangerous gifts.

[Tyrion tutted softly.] It's a real shame, that.

[helladoomed]

[In spite of Chloe's...understandable depression, she couldn't miss Kitty's party. First off, she was on the ship with it so unless she was going to lay in her bunk with a pillow over her head, she literally couldn't 'miss' it. And second, Kitty was one of the first people she had met in the fleet. There were...obligations.]

[Which was why she waited until the older woman was a bit separated from the crowd before she approached, offering her a small smile and holding up a poorly wrapped little brown package.]

...Happy Birthday.

[passingthrough]

[Nothing like being unavoidable to get you to a party!] Oh, wow, thanks. You didn't have to get me anything, Chloe. [People keep doing that. How do you even react?]

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda waits to catch Kitty at a moment when she's not dancing or otherwise conversing with the other party guests. She doesn't want to interrupt anyone or impose too much. Mostly just happy to keep to herself or make polite small talk with anyone that engages her.]

Happy Birthday.

[passingthrough]

Wanda, hi! [She smiles, glad to see her. Mutants and people who were supposed to be mutants have to stick together! ...At parties.]

Thanks.

[precedented]

[ Leto comes by at the tail end of the party. He's never been fond of crowds and it'll look odd when he doesn't partake in the festivities.

Still. Kitty is his friend, and that means a lot to him. ]

[passingthrough]

Hey! You too, huh? [She smiles and she's had a few drinks and much like Hank earlier he's getting a surprise hug for coming to her party.]

[grandstanding]

[Erik shows up nearer to the end of the party, knowing these kinds of events are not exactly his style. That suspicion is confirmed by the music - is this modern music? He has no concept of the era, except it's not his.

Still, he wanted to say hello in person, rather than just send a message. He waits until she comes spinning by during a dance.]

Happy birthday.

[passingthrough]

[Near the end of the party Kitty is in a good mood and she's had a few drinks and a few people got immediate "thanks for coming" hugs. She can't quite do that with Erik because she can count all the times she ever hugged her world's Magneto on no hands. Still, her face lights up.]

Hey, you came. [She sounds pleased by that.] Dance with me.

[Due to work obligations Remy can't make it, but don't think he was going to forget about it. In his place he has a package arranged to be taken over by one of the other party guests, it all wrapped up with a bow and opens up to show a lot of cat faced shaped cookies, completely with icing whiskers and other features. There is also a note:]

Sorry I couldn't make it to your special day, petite, I hope you have a wonderful time.

[It is finished up with a drawing of a smiley face.]

[Text]

[She smiles when the text comes through.]

You are the most sentimental. Don't think you're living this down.

[She likes you, LeBeau.]

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[Robb figures that a birthday is the same as a name day. And that is worthy of celebration. Still, he is not planning to stay around for long.]

Ah, my lady! [He smiles broadly before revealing a small package.] I have brought you a gift to celebrate your name day... [Wait...] ...birthday.

<3

[passingthrough]

[Revealing your package in public to a lady? Gasp! And it's small too?]

Robb. [She smiles and kind of hopes Winn doesn't notice his arrival since she did tell him about the "teats" situation.] I'm glad you made it. [True even with the Winn thing.] If it helps I think I was named the same day I was born.
