WHO || Astrid Mädchen & loads of people
WHAT || Astrid's 23rd Birthday Party
WHERE || Some empty bar in the castle.
WHEN || October 29, 2014; 8pm [backdated]
HOW || Actionspam

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.

[ WHY IS SHE HERE. WHY. astrid is just really good at convincing people to go to things they don't want to go to.

anyway, abigail is "dressed" like a lil' mouse. aka she put her hair up to look like mouse ears and borrowed will's lady friend's eyeliner to draw a nose and whiskers. fucking nailed it.

she will spend the rest of the night wallflowering. :D ]

[pathology]

Did you even try? [tbf ... the tone isn't that bitchy. bc she actually knows abigail and knows that she's a weird little muppet.] It's Halloween! Well, almost. But still!

[lurings]

I asked Will's friend for eyeliner. Doesn't that count as trying? [ THE CAT EYE WAS REALLY HARD. she had to google. ]

[pathology]

Um, I have eyeliner. And I'm like, the patron saint of Halloween. I totally could have given you a Halloween makeover.

[lurings]

I'm a mouse! I dressed up! [ she's wearing all black! granted it's a black sweater and black skirt with black tights which is basically the goth version of what she normally wears. protest!!!!!!!!!!!!! ] I have ears!

[ surprisingly it took less time to turn her hair into little mouse ears than it took to apply eyeliner. girl is level zero in make up. ]

[pathology]

Do you even have a tail?

[lurings]

Yes. [ no. her nose scrunches up. she knew she forgot something. ]

[pathology]

Turn around. [BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE YOU]

[lurings]

Um, sexual harassment in the work environment. [ a beat. ] No.

[pathology]

Because you totally don't have one! Look, it's okay, because you called me the best medic ever [is that really what she said?], so I'll let it slide. But if you're planning on going to any other costume parties, you have to let me help.

[lurings]

I'm not planning on going to any other parties. [ ever. astrid is ~special. ]

[pathology]

Well, good, because mine's the best. Have you had any of the food yet? Picked up a treat bag? OH! Did you drop off your present on the table?

[lurings]

[ so many questions. ] Yes, no, yes.

[ those are in the right order, she thinks. astrid's present is a hunting knife. ]

[pathology]

[preens. she doesn't even know what the present is (she'll prob like it tho, so a+ good job), but knowing that abigail succeeded at the present component even if she made like a c- in the costume component is good enough for her. and now she's just babbling.] Great! The cupcakes are my fave. I thought the red velvet was a little much at first, like, Lila really got stuck on the redhead thing when she was planning, but they are really good. And you should get a treat bag, everything in them is really cute.

[lurings]

Red does look good with the black and white theme.

[ accidentally defending lila. ]

What are in the bags?

[allmydreams]

[Felicity can't help but grin a bit as she sees her, making her way closer. She doesn't know Abigail personally, but that's never stopped her before.]

The ears are a great touch.

[lurings]

Thanks. [ she touches her hair tentatively. ] It was last minute.

[allmydreams]

[She shrugs.]

Could have fooled me. But I don't have a whole lot of skill when it comes to updos. It takes me a while to get them right.

[lurings]

There was a tutorial online. It's just an elastic and a couple of bobby pins.

[allmydreams]

[She nods a bit.]

I'll google it. See if I can make it work.

[lurings]

There's a ton on youtube.

[ she's basically youtube-ing how to be a teenager girl again. it's a struggle. ]

[allmydreams]

[She nods a bit.]

I don't spend a lot of time online. I prefer to talk to people in front of me, rather than through a computer screen.

[She's gotten better at not sounding judgy about it - mostly thanks to Andrew. She's still not understanding it, but she's getting that it works for some people.]

[lurings]

[ tbf abigail doesn't prefer to talk to anyone at all, so. ]

I just look at videos and the news mostly.

[allmydreams]

[She nods a bit.]

Got it. Cool.

[theminotaur]

I'm gonna go... get some food. [ is she tho? who knows. either way she's a little over socialized and she's going to smile before veering over to alex because alex doesn't count as socializing. ] Nice to meet you.

[ a+ peopleing. ]
