25 Unicorn Street- Wednesday evening

[throughaphase]

Kitty got back late last night, which meant today she had been running around trying to get everything done for the party she had totally emailed everyone about earlier this week.

So now the house was decorated for a one-year-old's birthday party, which... wasn't super decorated because Lexi was one and didn't care. There was food and drink and party hats the guests were encouraged to wear because they made the birthday girl laugh (the dogs were totally wearing them), and Lexi had her own little princess chair that she kept crawling or toddling out of. At least the kid was having fun.

Come one, come all, enjoy a baby's birthday party!

Showyp! Talk! Yes there is moddable food and drink, including alcohol!

Iris was generally not a fan of children nor was she really good friends with Kitty or Cliff but, hey, she'd been invited and the mun was desperate for entertainment and it was better than...

Well, it was probably good for her to get out and about.

She hadn't been sure if she ought to bring a present, given Lexi's age and the fact that almost every list she checked out for ideas had included a xylophone...

(Which… seemed really kind of cruel to the parents...)

So Iris had gone the gift card route, figuring that if anything Kitty and Clint could find something to buy because, really, Lexi was probably at the age where the most exciting presents were cardboard boxes anyway.

She was maybe going to hide from the toddler as much as possible with a drink in hand though.

"Hey," Kitty greeted her. "Thanks for coming."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[intraspective]

"Ain't nothin'," Iris said, smiling. "Happy I could make it. Kiddo looks happy. It wild that it been a year already for you?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle

"It feels like she's been around forever and I also don't understand how she's like an actual little person," Kitty admitted. "A little person who moves too damn fast."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[intraspective]

Iris laughed.

"She keeps you on your toes, huh?" she teased. "I hear little people tend to do that, especially once they get mobile. She figured out how to open doors yet?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[throughaphase]

"Not yet. And also that hadn't occurred to me before right now and suddenly I'm scared."

Lexi was a kid who would wander through portals someday, she'd get into so much trouble with doors.

Rosa really hoped that Kitty understood that her even coming to a kid's birthday party (even when that kid was still in the acceptable birthday party age range) used up all her friendship points for the night, because she was absolutely not wearing any of those hats.

Well, she might if any of the alcohol included at this thing involved belinis, which was exactly why she was sticking to beer.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[throughaphase]

"You," Kitty noted, "are at a birthday party."

She appreciated it so much.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[died8yearsago]

"For a kid I'm not even related to," Rosa reminded her.

So, yeah. She'd better freakin' appreciate it!

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[throughaphase]

"True, but she's super cute," Kitty pointed out.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[died8yearsago]

"True," Rosa agreed. It probably helped that the kid had some pretty good genes, too, but she wasn't going to actually say that, this exchange was already totally pushing her sacchirine and sweet conversation limits. So she just shook her head a little, brow furrowed slightly.

"Hard to believe it's been a year already."

She should not have been here long enough to watch a kid that she'd met as a bump turn one, dammit.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

"Tell me about it. Next thing I know she's going to be talking back and saying no all the time," Kitty said, looking over at where Lucky has curled up at Lexi's feet. "I don't know how that happened."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[intraspective]

Iris did not know the other woman--beyond the fact that a) she was a detective and b) went by Rosa and hadn't really bothered to pry into her mind for more than that.

She'd had a lot on her own mind lately, never mind other peoples' minds.

"Yo," she said, saluting the other woman with her beer.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[died8yearsago]

And Rosa wasn't about to break party protocol at her bestie's baby's birthday (ugghhhh, why was that a part of a sentence that existed??), so she lifted her chin in greeting back.

"Hey," she said back.

Which was, like, some top level socialization for Rosa, really.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[intraspective]

Hey, it wasn't terrible. It wasn't Iris' way, generally, but she did work with more than a few whose idea of socializing was... approximately that.

"Quiet island lately," she said, since... hey, it'd been almost two weeks now of normal.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[died8yearsago]

"Which means we're probably in for it next week," said Rosa, who may have shook her head slightly at the fact that small talk around this place always seemed to revolve around weird shit happening, but, hey, when weird shit was always happening, it was pretty easy to just pick right up with anyone. "If not this weekend."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[intraspective]

"As long as it leaves my greenhouse alone I ain't gonna care what else it does," Iris said, though she had a few other opinions on various disasters, but... "Like, seriously, the number of things that happened to it over the summer was just not on."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[so_hawkward]

Clint wasn't going to be drinking because it would be weird, but he definitely had a party hat on, and was trying to keep Lexi from squirming out of the chair.

"Come on kiddo, how can everyone tell you how wonderful you are if you keep trying to get away?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[throughaphase]

"She's probably going to try to tell them personally by going up to them and being adorable," Kitty decided.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[so_hawkward]

"I just hope she's not sticky and I somehow missed it," Clint said, snickering. "I can't believe a year went by already. How did that happen?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[throughaphase]

"I don't know. I'm giving to blink and she's going to be in kindergarten," Kitty sighed.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[so_hawkward]

Clint made an exaggerated noise of distress. "How dare you? She's going to be tiny and easy to catch forever. The Lexi that we've met that clearly goes to school and is going to someday drive a car is just the island messing with us."

The birthday girl (and parents)

[throughaphase]

Lexi's not really making conversation but her dress is very cute.

OOC

[throughaphase]

I am probably going home sick which at least leaves more time for pinging?
