Alain's birthday
It's almost sunset, and the preparations are almost finished.
Cuthbert, Lilly, and the waitrats they've roped into helping out have set up tables with food out by the lake. On one of them, there's a small CD player currently playing The Beatles.
A few games are set up in the surrounding area--the kind you'd find at any country fair or picnic--but on the whole, there's nothing elaborate.
All that's needed now is for people to show up.
[Summary: Alain has a birthday party. Roland, Cuthbert, Susan, Lilly, Faith, Ace, Meg, and Gavroche attend. There are snow cones and lovely presents and a general mood of "there's doom all around, so let's make this one thing tonight happy and fun".]

He's not surprised.
"I offered, to Roland. Don't know what the situation is there, with magic and guns, but..." A shrug.

"They have to use wands, and speak, to do their magic," she says quietly. "I'd imagine a well-placed bullet could go far in stopping a spell before it gets spoken."
