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.

Yep. Think about if you pulled every muscle in your body all at once. Or imagine your bones scraping together.

I don't think you've ever seen me do it up close, but I can feel all that stuff. It's not like an illusion or something.

[shootfirst]

I don't get why you'd ever do it, then.

[doubletake]

Because if I didn't master it, there could have been...accidents.

It doesn't really bother me anymore, anyway, and someday it's probably going to save my life.

[Or someone else's.]

[shootfirst]

I guess we all use what we've got.

[doubletake]

You hit the nail right on the head.

[She sighs.]

Look, I know you probably don't like it. I know a lot of people probably don't like it. But this is what I've got and I'm going to use it.

[shootfirst]

You know that I have spells that can change the way a person looks too, right? The way I look? Why are you just assuming I'm not gonna be ok with it?

[doubletake]

Have you used it to pretend to be one of the dungeon's guards?

[And it's not the same thing, anyway.]

It's easier to assume the worst and not be disappointed. And considering I actually give a damn what you think...

[She shrugs.]

[shootfirst]

Well, tell me who exactly has been a bitch about it so I can go punch 'em in the mouth.

[doubletake]

[She shrugs her shoulders.]

Mostly it's just people being on my case, wanting to know why did I do it or if it was worth it, but I don't care what they think, and it's none of their business.

[They get bitchiness and sarcasm, instead.]

Maybe they should just take what isn't a huge mental leap and realize I feel pretty shitty about the whole thing?

[shootfirst]

People like to have somebody to hate on. Human nature, I guess.

[doubletake]

Human, huh?

[Though the look in her eyes and the smirk are there so Kat doesn't think she's...actually ragging on her.

Those racist humans tho.]

[shootfirst]

You know what I mean.

[doubletake]

I know. I'm just screwing with you, Kat.

[Her smiles softens a bit.]

I missed the hell out of you. You know that, right?

[shootfirst]

Well, I would hope so. I'm sort of one of a kind.

[doubletake]

That you are.

[Oh look, the bar! She grabs two shot glasses and a bottle of whatever's closest, and pours them out, before she slides one to Kat.]

[shootfirst]

Bottom's up. [ she downs it and scrunches her face up (fort 8), breathing out a: ] Weeeeooo!

[doubletake]

[With a might 24 fort save, Elena knocks that back like water and pours out another one for each of them, lifting them up.]

To us being one of a kind.

[shootfirst]

I'll drink to that. [ CLINK

annnd we can scene here if you want ]
