WHO: Residents of Casa Ludgate-Graham & invited guests!
WHERE: Casa Ludgate-Graham
WHEN: Afternoon to evening of Saturday, Aug 8
WHAT: Abigail's 19th (???) Birthday Party!
WARNINGS: Um, Baltimore tbh?

-

While technically Abigail is unsure of how old she is -- there are too many missing months between Baltimore and Heropa and more between Heropa and Heropa -- nineteen is close enough and probably makes up for those missing months. Maybe.

But like Jeff said, it's foolproof.

She huffs and puffs about no party, but then Will made that face and she begrudgingly gave in so long as it was just a cook out and there were no streamers or balloons. Which is why the backyard is decked out with fairy lights and Chinese lanterns and a piñata in the shape of a llama, which she is not complaining about, and another in the shape of a bumblebee, which she vaguely protests because bees are good!

Cheeseburgers and hot dogs and chicken and other assorted barbecued meats are on the grill, there are bowls of macaroni salad, potato salad, pasta salad, regular salad, and a truly ridiculous amount of grilled veggies on the table out back. There are coolers full of soda and probably beer, tbh. The other alcohol is inside so the youths won't get it, presumably. At least that's what they're going with. Somewhere in the kitchen is a cake with candles.

Also there are dogs. And raccoons, both adult and funsize. And an impossibly fluffy cat who thinks she's a raccoon by now. But that seems to be the norm at the Ludgate-Graham home.


{ ooc: party post style, y'all. make a top level, tag around, be merry. make shit up on the menu. go cray. }

[ So many dogs. Grey wouldn’t have that any other way, though. He likes the animals here almost as much as the people. He also shakes his head at that question, because no, of course he hasn’t had one before. But he had watched April preparing everything for it, and that means he knows it has to dangle.

He checks the rope to make sure it’s secure, and is about to hold it -

And then he pauses, and holds up his finger. He looks around until he finds the blindfold that he knows came with this, and then he brings it to Abigail. Pointedly, he covers his eyes with it and then holds it out to her. Just because we haven’t done this before doesn’t mean we’re cheating. Making a circle with his finger he tells her to turn, so that he can tie it on. ]

[ she huffs for a moment and it looks like she's going to argue and make grey go first, but she just closes her eyes and turns, waiting patiently for grey to blindfold her. ]

Three hits, if it doesn't break open then it's your turn.

[ this girl murdered a grown man in the den. if she can't break a piñata open she's going to have to rethink a lot of things. ]

[ It’s her birthday! She has to go first. He nods, and then realises that’ll be useless now that she can’t see him. So, improvising, he taps her shoulder in a comradely sort of way, and steps back. Swing away, Abigail. Hopefully she remembers where it is. ]
