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!]

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.

[passingthrough]

[She's a menace!] I'm not sure about envy, but I'm sure Winn is excited about closing the age gap faster. He'll be calling me 22 in months I'm sure.

[beathach]

Ah - that's right, I forget he's closer to my age.

Does the age gap matter?

[passingthrough]

Not to me, but I've also never been with anyone my age so maybe it does. [Just in a good way, not a bad way.]

[beathach]

Maybe? I wouldn't know, I've never been with anyone my age, either. Raven's older. [a shrug]

[passingthrough]

Yeah? How much older? She was kind of cagey about her age. [They all are.]

[beathach]

. . . older than me, younger than Charles. If I give specifics I might get in trouble. [he knows better]

[passingthrough]

Are you keeping secrets or do you not know? I kind of like the thought that she won't tell you either.

[beathach]

I kind of like the idea of keeping you guessing about whether or not I actually know.

[passingthrough]

Wow, and on my birthday. Now you'll have to think of something else to get me. [Says the girl who is surprised every time someone actually gets her anything.]

[beathach]

You mean you didn't want a guessing game within a guessing game? My bad.

[passingthrough]

This is normally where I'd say, "no, I wanted a pony." But I can't because now I know ponies and it would be weird.

[beathach]

Ah - no, that would be incredibly awkward. And I don't think I could find a pony in time.

[passingthrough]

I'll accept a dragon.

[beathach]

Or a dragon.

[passingthrough]

Wow, Hank. Letting me down left and right.

[beathach]

Ask for something I can actually get you, then.

[passingthrough]

Hank, you don't seriously need to get me anything. I still can't believe I'm having a party.

[beathach]

I want to get you something, and I'm going to despite you telling me not to. [if only they were still docked somewhere. He'd just have to do it when they get to the next stop]

[passingthrough]

Well, for now can I just have a dance?

[beathach]

Wh—you want to dance with me?

[passingthrough]

Is that surprising?

[beathach]

Yes? Especially considering you know I can't dance very well.

[passingthrough]

I'm not here to rate your skill. I mean, I will be silently judging you, but you don't have to know how bad it is.
