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!]

Kiss first. Carrying second. [She leans in.]

[winn]

[ he meets her half way and kisses her gently. ]

Nice doing business with you.

[ he hands her half the pile ]

Did you have a good time?

[passingthrough]

I did. You're consistently too good to me. [Holding up her pile portion.] What about you? This was a lot.

[winn]

Ain't no such thing.

[ he kisses her cheek and smiles tiredly. ]

I'm okay. [ he reassures her, and nodding towards the slug making its way slowly to snuggle up in the crook of his neck. ]

Pixels' better than Xanax. I think...never actually tried it but - I'm good with him.

[ ever sense everything went to crap, he's been finding himself feeling more and more grateful for cisco's present. who knew a slug could improve his quality of life that much? ]

[passingthrough]

I'm glad you have him. And I'm glad I have you. And tomorrow we can lay in bed and be lazy? [Which they've done a lot of, but it sounds better right now. And she figures he could use the quiet even if he does have Pixel.]

[winn]

mmmhm - it's a date.

[ he walks back to his room and dumps his notes on the floor for now, only putting cali away on her shelf - and pixels in his container so he doesn't get squashed when step 3 inevitably happens.

sitting down on his bed, he stretches out. ]

So. Is my gift still the best?

[passingthrough]

No one can touch it. [She's wearing the jersey now, but that's not all the gift she's thinking of. It's also the party and just him in her life.]

Is part two going to make me cry? [Cuddling up next to him.]

[winn]

[ he wraps an arm around her, rubbing her shoulder ]

Probably. If you think about it -- you already know what it is.

[passingthrough]

I have been thinking. But I think the drinks I had might be thinking too loudly for me to think over them. Rude, rude drinks.

[winn]

[ he laughs and kisses her cheek. ]

Don't move.

[ he stands up and unlocks his locker, taking out a small blue jewelry box, before sitting back down at her side.

sitting back down, he offers her the box. inside, she'll find a wooden heart shaped locket he carved himself, on a sturdy black strap, containing the scanned and cropped faces of her parents from the picture she was given by the tree. ]

Happy birthday. Again.

[passingthrough]

Is this a thing now? You're going to give me a new locket ever time... [She stops as her breath catches when she opens it and sees her parents instead of Winn and Kurt.]

Oh Winn...

[He was right. The tears are right on time.]

[winn]

Well, if you get many more of these, I may have to start thinking really awkward charm bracelet?

[ he smiles, and gently wipes those tears. ]

I love you, Kitty.

[passingthrough]

[She throws her arms around him and hugs him tightly.] I love you too.

[winn]

[ he wraps his own arms around her in return, and leans his head against her shoulder, clinging. ]

[passingthrough]

[Kissing all around his face.] It's beautiful. You're beautiful.

[winn]

[ he laughs, not really sure why but suddenly feeling on the verge of tears himself. ]

Just how much did you drink?

[passingthrough]

[That gets a laugh.] Not enough to forget you're beautiful.

[winn]

No, seems like I'm getting better looking with every shot -

[ amused ]

[passingthrough]

Come on, I wasn't doing shots. [Nuzzling goes here!]

[winn]

Mmmhm. [ he likes that nuzzling ] How about doing one now?

[ this feels like prime part three time to him. ]

[passingthrough]

[Completely sober Kitty would have passed. Tipsy Kitty is more relaxe and if Winn wants a shot she'll do one with him. No harm in one.] If you want.

[winn]

[ not the kind of shot he was talking about. he just looks at her for a long moment, waiting for the shoe to drop. ]

I meant the S-C-H-O-double T kind.

[passingthrough]

[She bursts into laughter.] You were hitting on me with puns. [Kissing.]

[winn]

And it was totally wasted -

[ such a tragedy. he would care, if he didn't have a beautiful woman to kiss. ]

[passingthrough]

Oh no. I wasn't going to kiss you at all before that.
