33 Apocalypse Avenue, Thursday Evening

[bitten_notshy]

Jack wasn't ready to say goodbye to Kaidan. He remained quite firmly opposed to this general trend of people leaving.

But if Kaidan was going to go fight purple blobby land jellyfish --or whatever he was up to -- he deserved a decent send-off. Which was why Jack had ordered several pizzas, laid in a few kegs of Canadian lager, and sent an email to everyone he could think of who might want one more chance to hang out with Kaidan.

A bad action movie played on the TV, though the sound was quite soft, and everything was ready for a low-key party.

Arrive + Mingle [8/14]

[bitten_notshy]

You know you want to.

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14]

[bitten_notshy]

As much as he disliked the reason for this one, there was some part of Jack that always loved a party. He buzzed about straightening this and fussing over that, and seemed happy enough to be playing the host.

Emma had totally called in sick to class and work for this. Why wouldn't she? Plus? She'd brought actual New York Deep Dish. Lots of it. Ten pizzas, actually.

She knew how much a biotic, a werewolf, a growing mutant, and the other disreputable denizens of their building (and assorted groupies) could eat. Emma wasn't going to let Kaidan leave hungry.

"Hullo, darlings, I'm home!" she yelled, kicking at the door with her foot to be let in. Sure, she still had her keys, but her arms were full. "And Auntie Emma brought more food!"

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14]

[bitten_notshy]

"I'd tell you you were my favorite auntie if that wasn't creepy," Jack said cheerfully. He kissed Emma's cheek and carried the extra pizzas over to the table. "Hello there. Hope the lampreys weren't too much trouble."

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14]

[icecoldfrost]

"Is that what those are? They're disgustingly creepy," Emma replied cheerfully as she handed over the pizzas. "Hope I brought enough, but I had to discard one or two due to lamprey."

So, so gross.

True, Éponine didn't know Kaidan especially well, but he had been nice to her in the few encounters they'd had, and as a general rule she remembered people who had been nice to her. Even if that involved a bit more remembering now than it used to.

Also, food, and an opportunity to avoid thinking about that whole carnival business; good enough reasons to deal with the silly-looking fish falling from the sky. So she was here, relatively lamprey-free thanks to an umbrella she'd appropriated from the employee break room at the post office, and carefully brushing bits of cat hair off her skirt.

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14]

[bitten_notshy]

"Thanks for coming," Jack said as he wandered over. "The rain isn't too bad right now, is it?"

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14]

[filleauloup]

"More likely to bite than usual, but at least it isn't cold," Éponine said brightly. "And they aren't coming down too thick at the moment. Still, you've got to be careful not to let them land on your head, so it's just as well they're bigger than the little fish from yesterday."

Her cat would probably disagree, but that was why Alouette was indoors with all the windows shut, thank you.

"It's nice of you to do this," she added.

Allie was glad Fandom's latest bit of whimsy had worn off in time for the party. But she still wasn't happy about the reason for it, even if she tried to put a happy face on.

[Great sp. In a car for another nine hours but I'm about to hit my data cap.]

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14]

[bitten_notshy]

"You look about as happy as I feel," Jack confided softly. "Good to see you, anyhow."

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14]

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

"Same. I'm trying to be happy. I'm not that good at faking it," Allie admitted. "But I'll try harder."

Eat & Drink [8/14]

[bitten_notshy]

Pizza, beer, soda, chips and dip, a few packages of cookies ... and some blood for Allie in a mini-fridge. Nom nom.

Re: Eat & Drink [8/14]

[not_a_whiner]

Kaidan was nursing a beer and... okay, a lot of chips and dip.

He was a biotic. He needed the food.

Movie Time [8/14]

[bitten_notshy]

Whatever it is, it's definitely snarkworthy. Possibly there's a Sharknado involved.

Re: Movie Time [8/14]

[not_a_whiner]

"What the hell did you find, Jack?" Kaidan muttered.

Re: Movie Time [8/14]

[bitten_notshy]

"The SyFy channel's greatest contribution to the noble art of cinema," Jack said, pretending to be affronted. "What, did you want us to watch meta Wuthering Heights?"

Re: Movie Time [8/14]

[6buckstohisname.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Sharknado!"

Dean had simple tastes, okay?

Re: Movie Time [8/14]

[bitten_notshy]

Jack grinned at him. "Hey, Dean. Kaidan keeps complaining it's not scientifically valid."

Talk to Kaidan [8/14]

[bitten_notshy]

For well-wishing and send-offs! Embarrassing displays of emotion tolerated.

Re: Talk to Kaidan [8/14]

[not_a_whiner]

Kaidan was never that bad about embarrassing displays of emotion, okay? Awkward, yes, but not mean or anything, and...

His brain was rambling.

He was going to miss everyone.

Re: Talk to Kaidan [8/14]

[icecoldfrost]

"You're going to send me any new Blasto movies, right?" Emma announced asked as she flopped onto the nearest surface by Kaidan. "Because I have been horrifying what few friends I have with them, and they're convinced it's some cult classic 60s movie series that got deep-axed by the Hollywood code and has never seen the light of day."

It was Emma. This was her embarrassing display of emotion. Mostly.

Re: Talk to Kaidan [8/14]

[6buckstohisname.livejournal.com]

"Nice party."

Whoa there, over emotional Dean!

Re: Talk to Kaidan [8/14]

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

It's not that Allie was actively avoiding Kaidan, but words were hard. Passive avoidance was easier at least until it wasn't.

"So..."

Re: Talk to Kaidan [8/14]

[filleauloup]

"It's back home for you then, is it?" In a continuing theme, Éponine was (inadvertently) sparing Kaidan the awkwardness of an embarrassing display of emotion, but then, really, her most vivid memory of him involved a conversation by a fireplace in a dungeon. But she'd been half out of her mind then, and he'd talked to her instead of steering clear, which was exactly why she'd come to say goodbye. One really oughtn't forget things like that, if you asked her.

OOC [8/14]

[bitten_notshy]

I'm around but a wee bit slow due to that whole work thing.
