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.

[Weird to think that now she and Rose are on better terms. Things change a lot around here.]

You do that a lot? Slip in and poke around at what people are thinking?

[doubletake]

Only when they give me a reason to think I should. When you're a professional liar, it makes others easier to spot. Most people see what they want to see, but I know better.

[reallywicked]

I'm sure you do. All you have to do is change your face and ask the right questions and I'm sure you get all the information you could ever want. Or just read their mind? So easy. [Does it sound like she's jealous? Because she's totally jealous.]

[doubletake]

You just have to be careful not to run into your twin. Dead giveaway.

[reallywicked]

That happen to you while you were on the road?

[doubletake]

[She shakes her head.]

No, we made sure not to take anyone's face that we'd have a chance in hell of running into again. It could happen pretty easily here, though. Plus I'm pretty sure Wynn would give me that disapproving Dad speech if I ever got caught doing something like that.

[reallywicked]

Good to know that you're not looking to get on his bad side. I know some people have got to be wondering.

[doubletake]

Yeah, well if they don't like it, they can take it up with him. He trusts me and so do my friends. Their opinions don't matter to me.

[reallywicked]

[She just has so much respect for Elena right now. Wow.]

I had no idea you were so bad ass.

[doubletake]

I just had to grow some tougher skin. That's all.

[reallywicked]

Whatever it was? Keep doing it. Anyway- I should probably find my date.

[doubletake]

You got it. [She grins.] I'll see you around.
