If Jay hadn't suggested it, Ed probably would not be planning a party for Al. They were generally pretty low-key and after so many years in Purg birthdays were hardly a thing, nevermind the sort of life they had back home. Still, Ed had found a way to keep Al out of the communal building to provide enough time to prepare for the floor for what should be a relatively small gathering of friends.

Similar to the party thrown in July when his brother had first arrived, Ed had gone through the trouble of making sure plenty of snacks and food were in stock for anyone interested. Once again, anything your character could find within the Quarantine may very well be available, soft drinks, juice, some forms of alcohol, chips, cookies, pretzels - the usual assortments of party food. Requests and special diets had been taken into consideration as well as organization that allowed for food that may not be edible to the majority being set aside and labeled as such. The kitchen island was covered in bowls of treats and the buckets that had been used to carry the water guns were on the floor, filled with ice and holding additional drinks as well. There will also be pastries baked by Lola, food prepared by Jacob Kane, Otabek Altin and Shigeru, an apple pie for dessert made by Jason and an assortment of other possibilities - anyone is welcome to bring or make their own dish to share.

Games were laid out in the entertainment area, for anyone to help themselves to. Cards, board games, video games etc. Ed figured that some people might show up before Al arrived and others may not get there until he had returned, better to have things for everyone to enjoy themselves with either way. Although Ed only had a small list of people to invite - half their friends lived on the floor, and they hadn't made too many lasting friendships yet with how many people had gone home - he tried to invite anyone he could think of that might be interested and did encourage others to bring someone along, should they so choose.


[OOC: Characters invited will consist of Floor Six, and Floor Six CR. If a character has a few degrees of separation from Floor Six they may also be invited as a friend of a friend. If you would like your character to come and are unsure how or if they might be invited send me a message and I'll work out a solution with you! Chances are if you think your character would get an invite, you're good to go. Alternately, if you want an actual IC invitation in your character's inbox, let me know!]

[Should she say anything? It seems like it would only make things harder. Or maybe lose her a friend. But at the end of the day... Lola is harmless, and Laura can read that about her... she could read it about her from their first visit alone. It's why she left. It was for Lola's benefit. But here in this place... maybe it's alright. Jon was, after all, a friend -- one she confided in...]

I was born in a special place.

It wanted to raise children to be weapons they could sell to people.


[Might as well give her the basics, start from the beginning. Right?

... She just fears it'll backfire in some way.]

*Well, when informed this child in front of her is a weapon, or suppose to be a weapon. The right answer is to step away, be horrified, be fearful. Lola is anything but right, she steps in, and hugs the girl.*

This place is far from there though. They are a world and a life away, right?

[She nods into Lola's chest, accepting the hug.

She's an awkward creature, but even she can feel the power of a good hug.]


They are, unless they follow.

We were running, when I came here. We were getting away.

*Give into the Lola hugs, there is no fighting this.*

The portal likes people that don't belong, that don't want to be where they are. Your friends are more likely to end up here then the people who tried to make you into a weapon.

But if those people end up here. A lot of people here can punch creeps in the face.

[She gives a slight nod. She doesn't want to ruin Lola's hug, so she stays put.]

... I do not want to be a weapon.

I want to just be -- Laura. I think I can be.

Nobody wants to be a weapon, I don't think.

And you're really good at being Laura.

... Thank you, Lola.

[She's glad to be good at even just that.]

I'm here to help.

*Hug ended, for the moment. Lola reserves the right to resume hugging later.*
