Party Time!

It has been a lot of work all day, schlepping stuff back and forth, enlisting the help of wait rats, fighting with the wait rats, coordinating with Bar, fighting with Bar, and basically making most of it up as he went along.

He's never actually thrown a party before, okay?!

But, finally and at last, Hellboy has done it.

Outside by the lake shore there is a Party. A Party with balloons, streamers, banners, a giant inflatable gorilla, food, LOUD music, a petting zoo, several cars display, and the occasional firework.

It starts as a celebration for Enzo's graduation from the Guardian Academy, but after Red hears the good news, it turns into an engagement party as well (after Red goes through and changes all the signs from 'Congrats, Enzo!' to 'Congrats, Enzo and Dani').

Everyone is invited, so come on, celebrate and have some fun!



[ooc: this is a party post, feel free to have your pup drop in whether they know the three in question or not! Thread, tag hop, whatever feels good! This post will be open to new tags through Sunday, and for slows until forever.]

"I need tools." This much is certain.

"I'll get 'em!" declares Mairi. She zooms off in the direction of the buffet, and returns with a double handful of silverware.

Kate hums warily.

"I do believe tools stray from 'jus' lookin'' territory an' straight into touchin' territory."

"I'm not touching. The tools're touching."

Tools, spoons, same difference.

These tools in particular fill her with a sense of dread.

"The tools are gonna get up an' walk themselves into this car, all by themselves?"

The girls exchange a look, and brighten. "Yes!"

That's allowed, right, if they're not touching the tools?

Kate blinks, visibly surprised. It takes her a moment to work out how to answer.

"Really? All by themselves?"

"Uh-huh!" With no physical contact, anyway. Smug little girls are smug.

"I see."

Beat.

"Well, then."



Beat.



"I guess so long as you ain't touchin' 'em ... "

Yay!

Mairi hands Ana most of the silverware, retaining one spoon for herself. Her brow furrows a little, and a sparkly golden glow forms around the hand holding the spoon. Then the glow pushes the spoon out into the air, holding it there, a beam connecting hand and spoon.

Kate feels increasingly more like she's just been railroaded.

"Now, that ain't fair."

Magic is still a form of touching! However, what's a teacher to do?

"Is too!"

"I'm shielding it," Mairi informs her proudly. "It can't touch anything."

"How're you doin' that?"

Sure, she's feeling a little flummoxed at being outwitted by a pair of young girls, but she's also curious.
a1enzo: (Mairi)

"I have keytool powers." Because that is an explanation.

Mairi guides the spoon under the car's hood; Ana climbs back up on the bumper so she can direct Mairi to prod certain parts (which she might even be calling by their right names). True enough, the golden shield prevents the metal from making actual contact.

[personal profile] ikissdhimbck 2014-02-14 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh dear.

Oh dear, oh dear.

'Keytool powers' doesn't give her a leg to stand on, and there's no argument she can think to make that won't show her as someone who breaks their word. However, as she peers worriedly under the hood, it looks as though they aren't doing that much damage.

"I see. An' how will you know when it'll be fixed?"

"Lady," says Ana without looking up, "I'mma p'feshunal."

This time, Kate honestly can't restrain herself. She snorts, covering her mouth in an attempt to hold back her laughter.

"My apologies."

She's a little breathless, voice dancing on the breeze.

"Please, go on."

That's better. Ana directs Mairi in authoritative tones, and the spoon is duly levered, wrenched, and dipped for a few minutes.

Then Ana says, "Try it now." Mairi withdraws her multitool and approaches the driver's door.
ikissdhimbck: (Reflective)

Kate watches them very carefully, but does not interrupt. In a pinch, she does know how to operate an automobile.

Hopefully it won't come to that.

Mairi opens the door, floats onto the seat, and twiddles approximately where Daddy inputs the key.

"Brrrrrrrrrm!" declares Ana. "All fixed!"

Re: Cars

[personal profile] ikissdhimbck 2014-02-14 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Kate brightens the moment she hears the childish rumble.

"Well done! Good job, you two."

She never gave the pretense it was her automobile, but in the spirit of things she turns to Ana and asks:

"What do I owe you?"

Hopefully she'll accept payment in sweets.

She whistles.

"That's quite a hefty sum. I'm sure we can work somethin' out, though. Shall we retire t'the refreshment tables?"

Preferably before the owner of this car happens upon them.

"Yay!"

They will accept payment in installments.
