Get Well Soon Lou Party [OPEN]

[bewitchinghaze]

 
 Val had worked hard turning her precious garden into a space suitable for a party. She knew how stressed out and awful Lou must feel right now and she was determined that she would shake her right back into the cheerful voice of reason she normally was. Messages had been sent out to anyone who had any connection to Lou the night she came home from the hospital and Val prayed people would have time to show up.

Every branch and bush in the garden had been strung with fairy lights, the strings hidden so they looked more like floating globes of light. Chairs and tables had been tucked into empty spaces and various snacks and alcohol had been set up on a long table off to the side. She'd taken into consideration the rather... aphrodisiac effect these get-togethers seemed to have and small nooks out of the way of the rest of the party had been set up and thoroughly charmed with privacy charms. More charms sent out an thread of magic to draw anyone who appeared to be looking for privacy towards them.

Sitting herself down in the middle of everything, she spent an hour putting the strongest protection spells she could in a bubble around the party. They wouldn't do anything to keep those who wandered away from the party safe, but hopefully they would keep those in the bubble safe for the duration of the party.

A quick charm on her flowers so they wouldn't be trampled or picked, a call to Lou to ask her to come over, and a shower and an outfit change later, she was ready. Taking a deep breath, she turned on the soft, not too energetic music she'd put together, and flopped down into a chair to wait.

Alfie wasn’t quite sure why he was at the party. He of course wanted to show his support for Lou, but he’d been working at the lodge for 10+ hours and the amount of physical tasks he’d done that day had left him exhausted. Having given a lift to a few of the people in his block, and done a quick round of ‘hellos’ and ‘how are yous’, he’d spotted a little nook that looks pretty comfy. He was just going to sit down for a few minutes, really. Rolling his sleeves up, practically a luxury now his Mom wasn’t here to have to hide his tattoo from, he felt his eyes drooping. Two minutes later and the music had helped him drift off to sleep.

Riley tried to help her sister with decorating, but ultimately she ended up knocking everything down until Val told her to go put on a pretty outfit for Lou, probably just to get her sister out of her hair while she perfected everything. "Soooo-Yuuunnnnn" she calls, peaking out the front door and looking around for Val. "Can't I just wear shorts? Lou loves shorts!"

After drinking Riley's potion and transforming back to himself, Tristan received the text from Val and instantly set out on making as many pies as he could, a variety of flavors, from vanilla mint to coconut mango surprise, and with as much cheering, soothing, and warmth charms as he could put into them. He tries to remember Lou's favorites, and he makes sure to bring two jugs, one with coffee, and another with hot chocolate. He hopes its enough to meet the needs of the party. He also brings a small, prettily wrapped parcel and a get well card he magicked together using a design technique he learned from his mother.

He knocks on the Jung's door.

"Special pie delivery?"

After a few days of rest, Grant's feeling almost 100% better. Still, his doctor has him on at lease one crutch and asks him to stay off of it as much as possible. No way in hell he'd miss a party for Lou though.

He arrives at the Jung house, slipping in through the small crowd that's gathered, and takes a seat on a bench in the garden. It's gorgeous. Something he's sure is all Val's doing.

Lou had really wanted to say no to anything that meant leaving the house, but this was Val. And she knew Val was going to worry about her until Lou hugged her with a big smile on her face and made a silly mom-joke. Or older sister, maybe she was lucky with just being seen as an older sister.

So she had showed up. And, after stumbling into the garden on those stupid crutches: "Oh my fu- fri- oh my bleeping gods, what did you do with your garden? It's so incr-" Don't cry. "beautiful!"

Lara smiled at the decorations. Val had done a great job and the whole place glowed. Following the sound of music Lara went through the trees to find the party.
