I am Sixteen, going on Seventeen (Open | Mingle)

[threatenwithcuteness]

who: EVERYONE
what: Lola Pacini's Seventeenth Birthday
when: 4/16 - late afternoon
where: The Sunset Diner
warnings: FUN!
note: This is a Mingle, tag each other, make new CR, it'll be fun! I'll leave some specific places to poke Lola, but if you wanna put in your own top level or whatever... go for it!

It took some haggling, but Lola got her boss to give her the space for a few hours today. Lola did all the set-up (minus food prep, which she wormed out of some of the fry cooks). She took over the sunrise side of the diner. The room of warm oranges and reds, but more importantly it had less booths and more tables. So some of those could be cleared out for the day. S he put soft blue and green bows and streamers everywhere. Put linens over the tables, swept the floor, made sure everything was clean and nice.

She set out some of the food already, serve yourself at one table. Most of it is an attempt at Mexican cuisine but given how the ingredients aren't exactly right she can't really call it authentic. She left a table aside for people to bring foods from home, she's still curious to try things that aren't of her Earth, or of Earth at all. She didn't bother with a table for gifts, she wanted them, but she didn't feel they would happen. She didn't want to get her hopes up. That never ended well.

Honestly Lola doesn't really know what she wants out of this. Friends? Maybe? Or maybe just to make something happen. If some other people become friends at her party that'd be enough.

Right?

Comments

for Sieglinde

[2B isn't one for parties or social gatherings in general. She's here anyway, to see how are these things like - and apparently they involve someone she knows, as she finds a familiar face amongst the party goers.]

Sieglinde of Catarina?

[She asks, approaching. Good thing she saw the knight without the helmet before, since she's not wearing her armor here.]

[oniondaughter]

[Likewise, Sieglinde is more than happy to have a familiar face to speak to. As lovely a person as Lola is, it's somewhat awkward to be stuck at a small party like this one when you don't know the people there.]

Ah, Miss 2B! It's good to see you again.

[She gives the android a smile, not even noticing that she's taken to calling her 'miss' again. Force of habit.]

[howlongiwonder]

[She waves briefly in a greeting.]

So, this is a party. A birthday party.

I didn't expect to meet you here.

[Not exactly a good conversation starter.]

[oniondaughter]

[Sieglinde just nods at that first part. Yes, this is a party, good job identifying it 2B.]

Oh, well, Lola has been quite nice to me since my arrival, and this party seemed important to her.

[She doesn't know if Lola would consider her a friend, per se, since they hardly know each other at all at this point. But if not, Sieglinde at lease considers the girl something close to one.]

How do you know her?

[howlongiwonder]

I don't.

[A quick answer.]

It's like this in many cases here, isn't it?

They arrived here briefly, without even meaning to. They don't know anyone.

[oniondaughter]

That's how it usually seems to go, yes.

[She doesn't actually know that the giant Marvel cast all seem to knows each other. As far as she can tell, most of the people here are the only ones from their universe.]

Is it the case with you as well?

[howlongiwonder]

Something like that.

Androids don't really celebrate birthdays. But data say humans used to, so when I received news of one, I've decided to come and see what is it about.

[Looks like 2B doesn't know more than just people. Also it seems she just casually dropped a word Sieglinde may not have heard before.]
