Happy Birthday, Caroline! [Night of Oct 10]

1. Getting ready for the party (for Thomas)

To say Caroline was excited about her birthday would be an understatement. Especially because this was one of those important sounding birthdays, twenty-one. Nevermind that she was in the UK now, where the drinking age was eighteen. It was still a big deal, or at least it felt like it.

She'd been trying on clothes for the last fifteen minutes or so, before finally settling a cute black and gold outfit that was sexy but in a more grown-up way.

For a moment, she wondered what her mother would think of it. She smiled sadly at her reflection before turning her focus to the clock. It was about time for Thomas to arrive to do her hair. She couldn't wait to see what he came up with.




2. Get the Party Started (Open)

Caroline had decided on a pool hall in Haringey as the location for the party, since it seemed like a good, neutral place. She'd basically invited everyone she'd met in London, which mainly included some co-workers (the ones who weren't working tonight), neighbours, and a number of vampires who she was fairly confident wouldn't be snacking on the other guests.

All and all, she was fairly satisfied by the turnout. It made her feel like this London life of hers might actually work out for the best. And so she started making the rounds, smiling at each familiar face she saw - and a few unfamiliar ones too because the more, the merrier.





3. Sorry I can't hear you, I'm kind of busy (Open)

The party has been going for awhile when Caroline heard her phone beeping, alerting her to a text message. She froze for a moment when she saw the notification. It was from Stefan.

Of course he would pick today to end the months long silence. She put her phone away without reading the message, then headed over to the bar for another drink. She wasn't sure how many she'd had at this point but after that, she definitely needed another.




[Feel free to join the party even if your character doesn't know Caroline well enough for an invite, everyone's welcome]

"No wonder they keep you busy!" Caroline definitely appreciated being an only child, especially in times like this.

She stood up and got close to the mirror, looking at her hair from side to side. "Oh wow, that's incredible!" She turned around to face him, grinning. "Thank you so much, this is perfect."

"I'm glad to be of service." Especially since this had been kind of fun. "I guess I'll see you at the party, then."

"Great! You'll have no problem finding me, I'll be the one with the best hair in the place."

Caroline had been pretty excited before but now that it's almost time, she's practically vibrating with excitement. Her first London birthday party - it was going to be fabulous.
