[Voice (Locked from Tommy) / Action]

[selfhelp]

[Oh god, he is really, really hoping that he got the lock right. This will all be kinds of pointless if he did.]

Hey, Lucetians. Or whatever we call ourselves? ...Anyway. This is going to come across as super self-serving, but my birthday's on the 9th. Usually I'd be fine with it breezing by and nobody knowing, but it's also my twin's birthday. Tommy. Local speedster. Kind of a brat, but the good kind, I guess.

I won't go into the gritty details, but I... don't think he got many parties for him, growing up. I'd like to change that. [A pause, and then, quietly-] ...I want to.

[....]

So, we're going to have a party. A surprise party, if that's possible. (Please don't tell him.) This Sunday, February 9th, at the rec center, from 6PM until people are either too drunk or too tired to party anymore. Keyword there is drunk- we'll need to raid the liquor supply. He'd be so mad if I threw a big party and there was no booze.

Basically, this is an open invitation to make it as big and loud as a guy like him would enjoy. We can take care of the decorations and music and food, don't worry about gifts... don't sweat the details, basically. Just show up and have fun, if it sounds like your kind of thing.

This is assuming that the dreaded V-Day doesn't ruin everything, of course. Uh. I'm crossing my fingers. Did I just jinx it? I better not have jinxed it. Sorry in advance.

[After the announcement - and dealing with any relevant responses - Billy's going shopping for supplies for said party. He needs a sound system! He needs catering! He needs decorations! ...He needs help. He doesn't know how to throw a big party at all.]

I still think Lucetizens has a nice ring to it...

[Kari, stop trying to make Lucetizens happen.]

But hey, I didn't know you had a twin! Are you guys identical or the boring kind?

[maximoff_girl]

... I didn't now when your birthday was. [She suddenly feels kind of stupid for not knowing this.]

... Can we bring gifts if we want?

[Who's bundled up and poking through the selection of pastas and rice in the store? This elf. This bundled up and slightly dazed elf. Sleep hasn't come easy but it's not so much that he doesn't crack a smile and wave to Billy when he sees the young man.]

What brings you out today, aside from a desire for sustenance?

[A birthday party? Stefano sees opportunity a-knocking.]

Hey! Does the birthday party need a show?

[tryit]

[And while Kate's totally for throwing a party for two of her best friends, this is not a look of happiness on her face. It's also not a look of sadness. More like a cross between annoyance and hurt.]

The rec center? Billy, I have a whole nightclub available for use. Full of liquor and sound systems and all the loud jams Tommy would want.

[Henry was actually out shopping today. Well, if taking free stuff counted as shopping at this rate.

He's just kind of looking around for some candy to have. What Steve doesn't know won't hurt him. That's when he comes across a very stressed looking teen.

Hey, wait a sec, wasn't that sleeping beauty boy? He'd heard Billy was sick but not that he was better. So, he approaches.]

Hey, you're all better now. [It's a relief knowing that much. His friend, boyfriend(?) seemed pretty upset about it all.]

I'll help if you'd like. Consider the extra assistance a portion of my birthday gift to you.

This wouldn't the white streak that been racin' 'bout the place of late, hein? [Honestly, Remy was starting to think Pietro had been dragged to this place too... He was rather glad that wasn't the case.]

[Voice]

[voiceinthedark]

Oh, that sounds fantastic! And I can definitely bring some alcohol. Decent stuff too. I do love a good party!

Uh... what about Valentine's Day? I mean, it's just a dumb holiday.

[touchofrogue]

Happy birthday.

[Hi, remember me?]
