OOC: For those not Cassie, don't look for these three on the PPC wiki, I haven't got around to putting them there yet. But they've been around quietly for a while now. ;)
((Hi, guys! Just a couple of ground rules to keep things running smoothly: 1. When you join in, just add your response to the end of whatever the most recent post is, to keep just one string of... more
Cara couldn't help but chuckle a bit at the impressions Jake and Boston were trying. "You're not in the costume to be trying that," she pointed out to Jake, patting his shoulder. "I'll leave you two... more
At the least, he had the ranger-ish clothing, and he'd got himself looking about as much the part as he could without breaking out a disguise generator. It wasn't perfect, of course, but a) it was... more
((OOC: We've not even got to the cake!)) Freya hugged back with a little smile. "Maybe a bit. Don't let me interrupt the fun, though, you seemed to be having fun before I got here." She gave the... more
(( As good a time to come in as any. {= ) )) The latest arrivals had opted for a Potterverse look: green-eyed Jenni Robinson had on a Hogwarts robe with the particular comfortable look of having been ... more
Nataan felt himself beginning to be a little overwhelmed by the exponential growth the party seemed to be experiencing. He saw a few people he knew here and there in the irregular, constantly... more
William looked up and gave the Bajorans a smile. "It's good to see you," he said as Nataan and Lheya finally got within earshot. "I know it's all in the interests of being fair and not singling... more
Henry looked momentarily as though he might protest being put down in the pen, but seemed to reconsider when the girl greeted him. He smiled hesitantly, and finally responded with a quiet "Hi." After ... more
"Yeah, though ya wouldn't think I 'ad room for 'em both," Nat said wryly, indicating her skinny build as she bent to ruffle her son's light brown hair. "This's Anthony, an' that's Emily." She nodded... more
... at Nat's remark. Having been a midwife in the past, she could well imagine what the thin agent must have gone through, and frankly admired her for it. "Jenni Robinson, FicPsych," said she,... more
Nat gave Henry a little smile. "They're still our kids, an' we love 'em." "Damn right," another similarly lanky Agent added, sneaking up behind her and wrapping hs arms round her waist. He smiled a... more
Nataan smiled fondly. "Honestly, I'm glad there are enough other people here to give me a break. She's become even more of a handful lately." Lheya's eyes had strayed to the playpen. "The little ones ... more
Jenni grinned at Zach, but didn't offer a hand, unwilling to disrupt the couple. No doubt their time for personal relationships was as limited as her own. "You're a lucky soul." She glanced down at... more
Zach chuckled as his girlfriend gave him a mildly rebuking prod. Nat rolled her eyes and looked back to Jenni. "'E's kind o' right, though. We both like our jobs, an' we've got plenty o' friends to... more
The door to the Really Very Tiny Auditorium opened, and the first guests arrived. Kieran had not really bothered to put on a costume for LOTR or Potterverse, either on himself or on Artemis,... more
The door to the Really Very Tiny Auditorium swung open again. A young Asian woman wearing a rumpled Slytherin uniform and a snaggle-toothed grin poked her head around the edge of the door. "Sweet, we ... more
Cara waved them in. "Come on in, there's plenty to go around." She headed over to Xericka and Gremlin with a broad smile. "Nice to see you - and isn't this young man cute?" She'd melted at Aiden's... more
"Watching things pretty closely there, aren't you, Dad?" The young man who spoke, his appearance suggesting vague resemblances to both Remus Lupin and James Potter - the latter mostly for the... more
"I was wondering when you'd make it." He gave all three of them a warm hug. "How have you been? You look very smart, I have to say." He kissed Mishi on the cheek. "Are you three hungry? You might... more
"That does sound like a good idea," she said cheerfully. Tad looked around, and failed to suppress his smile. "I'm guessing Steph picked the decorations. You don't normally see that kind of mix,... more
Kieran stepped forward into the offered hug, or at least tried to. Artie immediately pounced from his shoulders, propelled himself forward with his wings, and glomped the birthday girl's face... more
It was rather muffled as Stephanie helped pry Artemis off her head, but given the way she was giggling it hadn't been too much of a shock. Once she could breathe properly again she gave both Kieran... more
"They've got a special area for the little kids and everything. There's nothing to worry about." "I suppose so," Xericka replied. A careful listener might have noticed a faint trace of her previous... more
...and a group of four more or less tumbled in, given its two larger members were busy trying to shepherd the two smaller ones. All had come attired for the occasion, and it was only at second glance ... more
I am also guilty of using characters no one has seen in a published mission, nor on the Wiki... but they've had increasingly important and eventful lives in various RPs. I will try and poke in more... more
"Looks like I'd better go and be a good hostess," she said to Gremin and Xericka. "In any case, there's games, toys, snacks, the music - I made sure it's all decent for the kids - so just enjoy... more
Clearly appreciating Cara's smile, he kept looking at her rather than at his feet as he added, "I made it." Lheya, too, had seemed friendly enough as she nodded to Cara, and had got as far as "Things ... more
Once he'd been successfully detached from Stephanie's head, Artie wriggled free of Kieran's grasp (well, okay, maybe he'd bitten his paw just a teeny little bit, but he didn't draw blood so it wasn't ... more
"Okay!" she called, quite happy to wander off with Imira and play. Cara, meanwhile, had noticed where Lheya was looking. "Haven't you seen the boys around before? I'm sure they live in the Nursery,"... more
Before the door could open fully, a string of three children, two girls and a boy, tumbled into the room. The eldest, dressed as a very small, slightly darker version of Faramir, picked herself up,... more
Artemis made a beeline for the plate full of sliced apples, much to Kieran's amusement. The young fox had noticed the sausage rolls and delighted in satisfying his inner carnivore. A recent visit to... more
The Bajoran teenager seemed content to leave it at that, and waved to William when she caught his eye. Zevak, however, made quite a face as he looked at the chair, as though he expected it to... more
"Besides, I'll be asking everyone else to put presents on it as well." Cara tugged Zevak's hat up a bit so he could see better. "There, that's better. You go ahead and do that, then." She looked up... more
After nodding to Cara as she left to greet the latest arrivals, Xericka made her way over to the area set aside for the youngest party attendees. She examined the small arrangement of toys with a... more
I know I'm among those responsible, but let's try to check for others posting so we can keep the posts in one sequence. Also, feel free to talk to each other! I've only got a small number of Agents... more
She quickly dissembled. “Well, it’s pure luck that Kinsey and Ori fit in Fara’s old Hallowe’en costumes, And I’ve been working on mine and Fara’s for a while, so…” She blushed, and nodded. “Thank... more
"We set that up for the really little ones - no Nursery staff provided, though, so it's up to legal guardians to keep an eye on anyone they put in there," she added, quirking a smile. "It should be... more
Among the newest wave of arrivals, which included Kyran the Hammer and Terry Collins from the DMS Mossflower Division, was a large, white haired man, being half-dragged into the Auditorium by Jacob... more
With a squeal of excitement, Stephanie led her friends in mobbing the adults she knew for hugs, piggyback rides and general entertainment. Terry took it in stride and nearly vanished under a pile of... more
The deathly glare vanished in an instant, to be replaced by such an innocent smile that he had to have been up to no good. Abandoning any plans he might have had for the snack table, he fluttered to... more
Az nodded to Jacob, held out her infant by way of explanation, and headed in the direction of the playpen, pulling the hood on Helena’s Adorable Elephant Onesie and tying it securely before putting... more
Jacob shook the offered hand with a grin and a bow of his own. "Sorry to say I'm not much good at impressions myself," he said. The Christopher Lee/Saruman voice he had affected wasn't horrible per... more
