Case 111 [Action]

[manofgnee]

[There's a party today in Xanadu! It's the day before Euphie's 18th birthday, and in an effort to avoid any sort of bad curse, Hanna's throwing her party on Sunday.

There are big picnic tables set up with all sorts of snacks and treats. One table is devoted to desserts, especially the big birthday cake. Hanna even managed to pull through and make cookies, despite his overall inability to cook or bake.

There's music, and speakers, and a myriad of decorations, including balloons, paper lanterns, streamers, and confetti. Hanna's spent the good part of the past week planning this party.
The grill is set up, and the present table is ready as well. Hanna himself is lounging in one of the chairs, a large box in his lap. Every so often, the box moves a bit, and Hanna smiles and sticks a finger through the hole in the top of the box.

Yep. Everything is set for one awesome party.]

That works!

Oh, no, you don't need to be sorry. I was just surprised. I understand though. I died when I was almost seventeen.

I'm so, so sorry, Euphie. That's... really young.

[deadly_legacy]

[Smiles softly.] It just makes turning eighteen more special. I get to have more time here to spend with the others who come to this place.

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

There's something to that, yeah.

[Penny gives Euphie another hug. Dead girl solidarity?]

The City's really not a bad place, I don't think.

[deadly_legacy]

[Hugs back. Dead girl solidarity is nice.] No, it's not. Even with the curses and the people leaving I'm glad I'm here.

(OOC: Is Penny still city dead or did she get it back through trade?)

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Not many people think like that--you know, of the City as something good. Somewhere where we can meet completely different people and do things we've never done.

[ooc: Still dead! She doesn't mind, though.]

[deadly_legacy]

Yes, I've noticed that's true. Sometimes I feel like I'm too cheerful about it around others. I know it's different when there are things you're waiting to return to.

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Which makes being dead not so bad in a lot of ways, too.

Anyway, I don't think it's possible to be too cheerful. Not here.

[deadly_legacy]

It's true. Even when it's hard at least it's an opportunity.

I'll remember that.
