Dani and Enzo have a fantastic setup in their own worlds, but that doesn't mean Milliways has nothing to offer their relationship anymore. It's still the only place they can be together in their respective natural forms. They're happy together in any form, of course, but every so often you miss that sort of thing.

When they come downstairs seeking hydration (her) and data input (him), Bar presents them with a napkin note.

"Oh! Sure, I'm up for it if you are."

"Of course!"

Best friends for eleven years.
Romantically involved for ten.
Engaged for four.
It's about freaking time.

The groom (surprisingly functional after two bachelor parties) will be at the Bar in the morning to digitize guests and bring them to Mainframe, and the bride will be there in the late afternoon for the Earth batch.

[OOC: If you think you were invited, you were invited! Attend either wedding or both!]

Enzo drops off the invitations with Bar, then orders a Cocoa and relaxes for a bit. It's been a while; he's been busy.

[OOC: If you think you'd be invited, you're probably right! If you're not sure, feel free to ask.]

[OOM, backtimed to... sometime since Enzo was last around: Enzo receives a proper posting and meets his new squad.]

Evening mist rises off the lake as a bonfire roars on the beach near the Caribbean inlet. A portable dance floor is set up near it, shined to perfection. A food table groans with the weight of various finger-foods, and music from a stereo system set off to the side blares through the night with a musical selection so varied that--as ever, in Milliways--you never know what's going to happen next.

[OOC: Millitimed to this evening. Thanks to Saph for helping with the setup. Open forever.]

Hovering windows* scattered throughout the bar this evening advertise a party out back.

It's pleasant out, and a sound system has been set up by the flattest section of ground, the better for dancing. There is a table with an assortment of party-suitable games on it, and the requisite snack table, of course, as well as a (currently) cordoned-off table bearing an ungodly number of pies.

There is also an adult-depending-whom-you-ask sprite ready to greet folks.

*Okay, not that many. And not as noisy or intrusive. He knows better these days. Nobody likes pop-up ads.

[OOC: Open forever! If you think you might've been invited, you've been invited. If not, drop by anyway! We have pie!]

Brief OOM: Back in February, Dani celebrates her 20th birthday, and Enzo's friends get involved.

Deep in the forest, the search party have got a lead.

A ghostly wail runs through the back garden, calling people to help fight the creature.

[ooc: Battle thread still in progress, open until New Year or when everyone is ready. If anyone wants in last minute, just touch base with me or Maru :)]

skeleton_king

Shortly after this, Jack and Gene come into the bar. Gene raises his voice to a bellow.

"IF ANY OF YOU LOT WANT SANTA BACK, GET YOUR ARSES OUT HERE AND HELP LOOK!"

Then they disappear outside.

[ooc: Again prethreaded, but reactions welcome.]

The door to Milliways swings open as Dani enters. What looks like a large white boomerang is tucked under one arm.

She's not sure how effective the BOOmerang is going to be for this task. But after talking to her mom Dani figures it's got to be better than some of her dad's prototypes...

Enzo swears when he sees the security notices.

"Minus, message for Dani."

OI: Great. Just great. Want to help save Christmas?

outsideInterface is signed on.

The door opens, and two tired-looking young adults drag themselves into the Milliways. It's been a long, hard couple of days and right now all Dani and Enzo want is a change of scenery and some food that's not candy.

Dani doesn't even notice that they haven't been given costumes this year until they've plopped down at a table.

The next time Enzo and Dani come to Milliways, the bar will give them a a small pouch made from supple, sturdy leather with an interesting beige and bright red pattern; it contains two rings made of smooth, matte mokume-gane with three stones set flush into the metal, one blue-red-blue, the other red-blue-red, and a note:

I hope these are as you wished them to be; if so, pay as agreed at your convenience. If not, find me for amends.

It is raining outside, so the forge cats are sleeping on the hearth-stones of the forge-fire, which is burning low. There is no great hammering and forging done today -- Teja is simply working on the hilts of the swords that were commissioned.

He is humming to himself, at one with his work.

[OOM, early December: New apartment!]

bprd_agent_red

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.]

a1enzo

A tuxedoed sprite, his hair smoothed rather more completely than a human's would be, is tucked into one of the (slightly) more private booths, with a bunch of flowers, a box of candy, and, of course, the requisite candlelight.

[OOC: Catch him before his Valentine arrives, or pester them both together! Not too much pestering, though. You ruin their date at your peril.]

The skin under Enzo's eyes is a shade darker than the rest of him.

He doesn't have nightmares too often anymore. Not as a general rule.

But the last two nights have been a collage of every bad thing that's ever happened in his life—and there have been plenty—overlaid with a persistent, itchy sensation of being watched.

He's sitting by the fire now, closer than he usually allows himself, writing up his observations. His fingers fly over the text window.

[OOM: In his own world, Enzo celebrates his birthday with family and friends.]

Out by the Caribbean inlet this afternoon/evening, a makeshift boardwalk has been set up on the beach, and on and around the boardwalk, a small funfair. Booths offer carnival games for prizes; waitrats are dispensing food (free; it's a party) from the type of carts normally associated with hot dog vendors, although there's rather more variety available here. Beachy music—with, if you pay attention, oddly computer-centric lyrics—plays over loudspeakers.

And, of course, the sand and waves are ever so inviting.

[OOC: Party time! All Enzo's friends are invited, of course, but everyone is welcome! Open forever, slowtime is love! ~~Slowtime is really love, in fact, because I'll be in the car for hours today and Sunday and have to tag very slowly via Kindle, and Saturday is my sister-in-law's baby shower...~~]

Folk have been setting up all night, and by noon on this sunny Saturday you won't hardly be able to miss the hoopla once you step out the back door.

A lively tune is playing*, the wide expanse between the lake and the stables filled with party wares. There's a dance floor and a bandstand, both large enough to accommodate a number of people; bleacher-style seating is on either side, where ladies and menfolk can line up and wait for partners. The rest of the seating is in the form of hay bales scattered about.

Long tables are set up with all manner of country cooking, along with plenty of drinks for young and old alike. Tents have been erected, twinkling lights spun around their poles, and when the sun sets fancy lanterns and tea lights will keep the shindig aglow.

*Any band resemblance to ZZ Top is highly coincidental. >.>

"Whoa."

Dani's not sure what's more surprising: the fact that it looks like a major fight or something went down recently in the Bar, or the fact that her door has shown up in the entrance to Danny's bedroom.

"...the heck happened around here?"
