Semi-open: May 05

Who: Lancelot and friends!
What: It's a birthday party! With both regular people and supernatural types. What could go wrong?
When: May 05
Where: Lancelot's flat & garden, Richmond!
Warnings: Gratuitous doggy! Probably a punch up later. Possibly some drunk kissing.



Lancelot's garden is not exactly an acre-large tented paradise.

He's not made of money.

It's big enough to just about fit the people invited across the patio and grass, with Lily variously herding them and rolling around, and he's flitting between them and the kitchen and living room and generally doing his best to butterfly around all of them making sure they're happy. The garden is relatively tidy, as tidy and well kept as a garden that suffers an enthusiastic dog can be. The hedges are neatly trimmed, the tree in one corner healthy and big enough to throw a little shade, and the one flowerbed border seems to mostly have some roses that are yet to fully bloom.

For those who he's only known since the incident last year he's given them a warning: not everyone who will be there is aware of the supernatural side of things, so try not to blurt it to people you don't know.

Despite it being his own birthday Lancelot is, of course, playing host. There's a table set up outside with finger food, salads, drinks and all sorts -- and food strategically inside for those who can't be out in the sun too. He appears to still be checking on more in the oven every so often too, but Lancelot does like to cook -- and he seems quite focused on making sure everyone has something they could eat.

Some of the drinks are alcoholic. The punch isn't that strong, but he has a few other drinks along the side for people who want them and some bottles of beer in an ice bucket. If someone decides to do a little mixing of course then it might wind up stronger.

His sound system is playing the soothing strains of Dire Straits through the place and all in all, for now at least things are going smoothly. So long as nobody says the wrong thing to the wrong person, it will probably be a nice evening. With the mixture of factions present alongside those who have no idea what a faction is, of course... that may be difficult.

"I know people," she says and ruffles the fur on Lily's belly, as if saying Lily is one of those important people she knows, and tilts her head thoughtfully, "and then I help people get to know eachother."

"That's..." Nancy looks around for a word. "Specific." Not at all, but what can you do? "I assume Lance is one of those people you know."

"Not professionally?" Kathryn wrinkles her nose a little, trying to think of the best way to put it. 'Liaison' is the kind of word that people tend to have all sorts of ideas about, and none of them are right. It says Freelance Liaison on her business card, but conversationally? "I'm like a... Professional middleman."
stauncherhearted: (mostly innocent)

Nancy hmms about this. "Interesting. That's got to be decent sort of work." Making your own job, essentially, and she liked that.

"Knowing people, introducing them to the right people for them. Almost like a puzzle, I'd imagine."

"I hadn't thought of it that way." Kathryn tilts her head, thinking about it for a moment, and then smiles broadly, "but I am a beast at crosswords."

"well, I think we've found a perfectly apt way to describe it." She smiles.

"cross words were never something I was good at. I'm far better at maths." One of the few good parts to being raised poor. They all had a knack for numbers.

"Oh god," she laughs, "I'm no good with numbers. Thank god for calculators, or I'd never get my bills paid right."
stauncherhearted: (look up)

Her laugh is infectious as Nancy leans forward to give Lily a good ear scratch. "Calculators, and the people who do that for you." Being an accountant sounded like the worst thing ever, truthfully.
