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.

[rocket gives damon the benefit of a deadeyes lobster suit stare.]

Yeah. Exactly like that, funny boy.

[unforgivably]

Hey, I'm not knocking your methods. [ as ... adorable as they are. ]

[beatupgrass]

Have you freakin' met Astrid? The first time we met, she tried to stab me.

[because he tried to rip her boyfriend's face off, but... details.]

[unforgivably]

Tonight, actually. She's a doctor. Clearly, she's a persuasive one.

[beatupgrass]

Persuasive's one word for it. [more pointed slurping of his drink.]

[unforgivably]

Don't tell me she threatened you into the costume. I'm liking her more by the minute.

[beatupgrass]

Not in so many words, but I know that broad's capable of doin' crazy shit when she's pressed. [He's not gonna say there were tears. He'll give Astrid some credit.]

[unforgivably]

[ He tries reading what he might mean (sense motive 13) ] Real drama queen?

[beatupgrass]

You didn't hear me use those words. [but yes.]

[unforgivably]

Which words? [ See? ]

[beatupgrass]

Exactly. [a moment's pause.] She ain't that bad as far as mentors go, I guess. Coulda got somebody self-righteous.

[unforgivably]

Stefan - with a stethoscope. [ Or, not. It's possibly Rocket has no idea what he's talking about. ]
