Many happy returns
WHO: John Watson and YOU!
WHERE: House #005
WHEN: 7th July, afternoon
WHAT: His work colleagues convinced John to throw a birthday party!
WARNINGS: Probably none
Today hadn't been his idea.
In many ways, John missed his old job in the emergency room. To name but a few benefits, he missed the urgency and the fact there weren't many opportunities to socialize with his colleagues down there. Being promoted to general practitioner robbed him of these benefits and threw him with individuals he had nothing in common with apart from a doctorate.
One of the girls in reception had ratted him out and John found himself reluctantly inviting his workmates over to celebrate his forty-second birthday. He would've been content to celebrate with a couple of drinks at the weekend with familiar company, some who would've received a text message about today asking for help.
There are refreshments available and a grill and a few kids running about and splashing in the pool in the backyard. Please don't leave him alone with the natives.

It could be similar enough, but not the exact same.

She's just Karen Starr right now. ]
I'm tougher than I look. [ And she looks pretty tough. She smiles slightly. ] Wasn't thrilling, but moping over it isn't going to do me any good.

You haven't given me reason to toss your behind to the curve. [ She snorts. ] I know a guy like you. He's much younger though and he's got an attitude problem, but he's a great guy once you get to know him.
no subject
[he's not sure if he should be offended to be compared to a guy with attitude problems]

[ He might blow up something... ]

[he moves to stand near the wall]
I think we've cleaned up all we can. Better wait till the party ends.

I hope John's lending a hand. Where did he go anyway?

[it's what he would do once upon a time if he was attending a party.

He can vacuum the place after.
[ She smirks. ]
let's end the thread here?
I'll let you be the one to tell him that.
fine with me

Will do.
