Lila had basically commandeered Astrid's birthday months ago, all but demanding that Astrid let her plan her party while... it was still Faye's birthday. By the time she is done decorating, it looks like Pintrest collided with Queen Regina and puked black and white Halloween drama all over the room. Glittery skulls, blood red candy apples, candles flickering in black lacquered candelabras. Is that raven real? Probably. Is that skeleton real?

Maybe. Y'all don't know what tricks this girl can do. Maybe Slenderman will show up.

The lights are dim and there is an entire table stacked with cupcakes and cookies and other assorted nibbles and hor d'oeuvres, shoved up against the bar where bottles of every kind of alcohol imaginable are just spread out willy nilly amongst mixers and juices. Bet your ass there is Fireball around. There's soda and punch for the teetotalers, but with far less variety than the liquor. There are even party favor bags for the end of the night stuffed with nips of peach schnapps, Jagermeister, and cranberry juice (the recipe for a red headed slut) and various jewels and baubles, plastic Starbucks cups, hella neon nail polish. And condoms. They are all jammed with condoms.

Invitations aren't sent so much as Lila and Astrid invite every single person they know and don't loathe. Costumes are a requirement, but presents are just highly encouraged. But it's Astrid's birthday, okay? Presents are a must.

And no one is allowed to dress like Jessica Rabbit on pain of... well, pain.

[THE BIRTHDAY GIRL IS HERE Y'ALL. looking fresh to death. she's so excited bc she loves halloween and parties and her birthday, so this is everything she wanted rolled up into one. soooo for most of the night she will be rolling on through to drink lots of booze, scope out ppl's costumes, and also collect present taxes. B I R T H D A Y.]

[unforgivably]

So, I hear it's your birthday.

[ he's at the bar, sidling up next to her. ] Another [ he says to the bartender ] and whatever she's having. [ since he... drank his present for her (cha 17), possibly not effective seeing she doesn't know him from adam, but, hey, maybe she likes hot confederate soldiers??? ]

[pathology]

It is. [she glances over him with some patented little rich girl scrutiny.] I don't know you. [not a question. more like how the fuq did you get invited to my party.]

[unforgivably]

[ It's in the castle. Also, where Elena goes, so goes his nation. (From time to time. ] Damon Salvatore. Newly returned knight.

[pathology]

Yeah, we're all newly returned. From war.

[unforgivably]

Thank you for your service.

[pathology]

You're welcome. Where were you that was so important you couldn't be there?

[unforgivably]

How do you know I wasn't there? [ Just being difficult. ] Trying to find a friend.

[pathology]

There was a briefing at the beginning, where everyone was assigned their missions. I know the name of every knight who went to war. [is she being hyperbolic??? maybe.] See? This is what I mean when I say we need GPS tracker chips.

[allmydreams]

[Felicity went with a film idol herself, but not one quite so vivacious. And she's glad she didn't because she wouldn't dare want to try and upstage the birthday girl.]

Okay, I have to give you props. That is a killer Jessica Rabbit.

[pathology]

You think so?! [she seems absolutely appeased.] Danke! I worked really hard on it! And you're ... [she tilts her head, contemplating...] Oh! You're Audrey Hepburn!

[allmydreams]

Yes!

[She grins.]

Who Framed Roger Rabbit was one of my favorites when I was a kid. Save for Christopher Lloyd, he was super creepy.

[pathology]

I know, right? Me, too. But it's so weird to watch it now, because of all the stuff that goes over your head as a kid, you know? Now it's like, why did my parents let me watch this??

[allmydreams]

Have you seen Hercules? I understand the Greek myths aren't exactly clean but holy shit.

[pathology]

Yeah! The stuff they put in Disney movies in general is crazy.

[allmydreams]

I guess they have to put some stuff for adults in there too, so they don't suffer too much, but ... sometimes it can be a bit much.

[pathology]

It's probably for the people making the movie, too. Like, can you imagine doing that as a job? It probably gets mind-numbing.

[nepotism]

[ blessedly at least, fred's alone when he goes to find astrid shortly after arriving. he gives her an amused once-over, folding his arms. ] I see you couldn't convince Adam to dress as an oversized rabbit.

[pathology]

[she scrunches her nose, maybe secretly grateful for a conversation topic that won't make her go all awkward turtle.] I tried, okay? But he decided to be an asshole. It's okay, though, at least he made an effort. If he just showed up with a soccer ball and said he was David Beckham or something lame like that, then I'd really be pissed.

[nepotism]

But is he doing a DeNiro voice on top of it? That seals the deal.

[pathology]

YES! [so pleased] He's totally into it.

[nepotism]

Then I guess you can't complain too much. You havin' a good time, at least?

[pathology]

Um, yes? It's like my dream party. Lila did a better job than some of the professional party planners my parents used to hire.

[nepotism]

Gee, my dad used to hire a sad clown and call it a day.

[pathology]

Ultra-rich, remember? My sweet 16 could have been on that show.
