[ closed. ] the grass was greener, the light was brighter

[viatorius]

who: Clarice Fong, John Proudstar, & Friends.
what: Housewarming party!!
when: June 2nd ( Backdated. )
where: Casa Thunderblink
warnings: N/A. Unless loved up mutants is a deal breaker.

( At the end of May, any friend of Clarice or John will get a text inviting them to a little gathering. By then, the airy apartment has a lot more furniture, courtesy of John and his manly, manly arms. Seriously, they're like tree trunks.. It's nice, and open, and perfect for having friends around.

When people arrive, there's an excited dog who may barrel into new friends unless someone can manage to catch her in time. There's food - probably more than necessary, but they won't let anyone go hungry -, there's drink, there's music. There's a couple of somewhat nervous mutants - how the hell do you throw a party? - but they're not letting that stop them. They're going to make the most of it. )

ooc: feel free to top level! if you have cr with either of them you're more than welcome to come, and if you don't and feel like crashing that's fine too. there's a plus one ( clarice is looking at you, cisco. time to meet the hot boyfriend of yours. )

if anyone has any questions or problems feel free to hit me up at athosing

[Peter's fairly sure he'd be able to feel his mum's judgment from another universe if he walked into someone's house empty handed, so he's got a case of what seems like decent beer in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other as he finds John. The music playing barely registers on him, but he does at least wait until John's done messing with it to hand everything over with a knowing smile.]

I know plants are traditional, but I figured these might get more use.

[Especially considering the expression of not-quite-stress John is currently wearing.]

[ John claps a hand over Peter's shoulder, grinning broadly upon seeing him. He accepts the case of beer, but chuckles. ]

Thanks, man. Alcohol doesn't actually have any effect on me, but I'm just glad you're here.

[ He gestures towards Clarice with a thumb. ]

Plus, she's certain that we'll just kill any plant that crosses the threshold of this apartment.

[thestarling]

Don't have to get drunk to enjoy it.

[And it's almost habit now. John and Clarice may not be Rivers, but Peter wants to stay on their good side all the same.]

I'll keep that in mind, though. It's a nice place, I'd hate to see it littered with plant corpses.

[tanker]

True.

[ John opens an arm, encompassing the room - since the apartment isn't much more than that. ]

Yeah, you like? Did a lot of woodworking around, which, let me tell you, was a new experience for me.

[thestarling]

You made some of it it?

[Peter's eyebrows lift into something genuinely impressed. The size honestly hasn't occurred to him -- he's a boy from a council estate, after all.]

That's good work.

[tanker]

Yeah - mainly the shelves, and the stools outsides. I've still got some more things I want to do, decoration and stuff like that.

[ John smiles. ]

Always been taught to work with my hands. Do something concrete. You know? Kinda how I grew up.

[thestarling]

More than I could ever do.

[Which isn't saying much. Peter isn't the handiest, aside from his way with a hoover and a bit of tech noodling here and there.]

Be nice to see it when it's all finished. Maybe I can hire you to do up mine, when I get one.

[That last added with a teasing grin.]
