...how kids plan parties...

If they're dreamers, they want bouncy castles and pony rides and giant tigers.

If they're the children of superheroes, oddly enough they still want those things, but you can't find a good pony that resists nuclear radiation as Tyler's learned. So, in the interest of keeping things simple and within his budget, a party has come together in the backyard of the house of one Augustus Fenwick.

Inside, there's plenty of soda in the fridge, and bowls of chips, dips, crackers, pretzels and ofcourse candy and little paper favor bags. The coffee table between the couch and TV already has one large present wrapped in brown paper (decorated with green watercolor cats) and an absolutely HUGE box wrapped in a myriad of wrapping papers next to it.

Outside in the fenced backyard is a good sized stick, branch and log structure, waiting to be set on fire as soon as the sun really starts to set, and that isn't that far off as the afternoon sunlight reveals. There's a kid in a black trenchcoat that looks about eight sizes too big poking about said structure as Tyler holds open the door for the guests. And decorating the walls, counter top are little decorated brown-paper flags saying 'Happy Birthday Nepeta!" in green letters.

Julie wasn't able to find any of the things Tyler had suggested for gifts so defaulted to several different trade paperbacks featuring woman super heroes which is wrapped in purple, glittery paper.

She'll watch a little nervously when Nepeta gets to it.

Julie has always loved lawn darts and so she's over there playing. She's very careful no one is near before she throws.

William watches her play before coming up when she's between a throw and asks, "Can I play?"
fiss84: (UM-hopeful)

[personal profile] fiss84 2012-01-05 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sure! I'm using rings right now, is that okay or do you want to pick targets?"
not_his_pa: (smug smile)

[personal profile] not_his_pa 2012-01-05 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm fine with rings and I'm William. Don't know if we've met before. I don't think I've played this before."

"Okay, I think I met him on the playground once right?" By which she means unmasked as a normal student. Sometimes it can be hard to keep the unmasked and masked selves straight.

"Oh okay. I'm Julie and it's very easy. You just throw the darts in the air and try to land them in the rings. I like to throw them up high arcs but you don't have to. Are you a friend of Tyler's or Nepeta's?"
not_his_pa: (kind of a smile)

[personal profile] not_his_pa 2012-01-05 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"So sort of like somethin' between regular darts and horseshoes? More Tyler's than Nepeta's, I'm still gettin' to know her."
fiss84: (UM-looking down)

"Oh him! He's fun to play with though I'm not sure he understands when we're playing."

"I think so? I've haven't played either one of those. Tyler's one of my best friends and I just met Nepeta myself," Julie replies before looking around for Cecil. Not seeing him, she asks in the casual way that is so suspicious, "Are you from...here or that restaurant Tyler and I go to sometimes."
not_his_pa: (surprised laugh)

[personal profile] not_his_pa 2012-01-06 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm from that restaurant," William says with a smile as he picks up one of the darts.

[personal profile] nepetaleijon 2012-01-07 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm Nepeta. Nice to m33t you!"

She catches it again, and tries it a little harder.



... oops. Yeah, that would have been a great throw if Ako were standing a lot further away.
nepetaleijon: (happy cat)

[personal profile] nepetaleijon 2012-01-07 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Nepeta looks delighted at the comic books. (And at the glittery paper, which has been tucked away in a pocket somewhere.)

To Julie: "Are these furom you?"

[personal profile] seat_five_girl 2012-01-08 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah that's gone.

Ako jogs after it easily as it rolls in an attempt for freedom.

"I will get it!"
nepetaleijon: (h33 h33 h33!)

[personal profile] nepetaleijon 2012-01-08 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Sorry!" Nepeta calls after Ako; she's giggling, a bit sheepishly.

"Can you throw it furom there?"
seat_five_girl: (sports)

[personal profile] seat_five_girl 2012-01-08 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Yup!

Harder toss to cover the distance and the disc curves across Nepeta to her other side from where it started.
nepetaleijon: (pounce!)

[personal profile] nepetaleijon 2012-01-08 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
The frisbee arcs over her head; she turns, takes two quick steps, and leaps.

And hits the ground with the disc clutched in both hands, like a cat bringing down a bird.

...Really needs to see about having a game of Ultimate.

"Good catch!"
fiss84: (UM-hopeful)

"Oh!" Julie exclaims with a smile. "Then maybe you've seen me there...though I'm always wearing my costume there."

She steps back so he has a clear area to throw before adding, "I don't think I recognize you though, but then I've only been in a few times."
fiss84: (UM-hopeful)

[personal profile] fiss84 2012-01-08 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Definitely!" Julie exclaims but then gestures with a glitter papered box she's holding. "But can i set this down first? I didn't want to come empty handed so I'm giving her some of my comics."
not_his_pa: (kind of a smile)

[personal profile] not_his_pa 2012-01-08 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
"What's your costume look like? I tend to spend a lot of time at the stables as that's where I work and um, usually I'm wearin' a cowboy hat."
