Party!!!, Overland Park, KS, Sunday FT

[vanillajello]

Yesterday, Charmaine and Neil had gotten married in a tiny municipal wedding ceremony that had somehow been better for everyone than Charmaine's previous attempt at a marriage. And early today, the newly wedded couple, along with their infant daughter, had taken off for Houston to go househunting. And Kate was already feeling weird that it was really just her and Marshall and Bod around, now.

So it was a good thing this was the day she'd invited people to come visit. Some booze had been acquired, and Marshall had busied himself in the kitchen making snacks, and they were all set. It was going to be weird since Kate had invited a bunch of people who'd never been to Kansas before, but she was hoping it would be a fun kind of weird.

[Minor OCD coming up! And like I said in the invite, come one and all!]

"It's usually done as an initiation, if you're doing it to another peer, or as harassment if it's an adult," Emma explained. "No one really expects our age group to make sense."

"And somehow I made it to my twenties without hearing of it, so I suppose I'm far too old and wise now," Jack bantered. "I'm terribly put out, of course."

He so wasn't.

"What, old?" Emma scoffed. "You realize, that's practically a challenge for me to get you to do something utterly irresponsible before you go back to being an adult?"

"Game on," Jack told her. "Though if you get me arrested, you're paying for bail."

[icecoldfrost]

"Since when do I pay for bail?" Emma scoffed. "Silly Jack, that's what powers are for."

Jack squinted at her. "And now I know why your criminal record isn't a mile long," he cheerfully slandered. "You'd do the same for me? You're too sweet."
