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.

"WHA--?" Startled, Riley looks over her shoulder while walking and smacks herself into a new baby tree Val must have conjured up recently. "Ow, ow ow ow ow oww owwww owwwwww!" Throwing a hand up to feel her head, she realizes she's bleeding and she whines. "Soo-Yuunnn."

[bewitchinghaze]

Val rolls her eyes but darts over as fast as she can. "You dummy! Let me see that," she reaches up, pulling down her hand and wincing. "Yah! Watch where you're going, unnie."

She pulls out a handkerchief and presses it to the cut, grabbing a bottle of water and washing the blood away. "How many fingers am I holding out?" she asks, holding up two.

[jiyunnies]

"When did this damn tree get here??" She winces when Val cleans the cut, pouting like a child. "Two. What'd you say to Tristan?"

[bewitchinghaze]

"Two weeks ago. It's an apple tree. It should be blossoming soon," she explains, pinching the cut shut and using a bit of magic to mostly seal it up. "Okay good, no concussion. What did you say to Grant??"

[jiyunnies]

"I haven't been out here in a few weeks..." She crosses her eyes, looking up to try to see the wound and failing. "I told him if he hurts you, we got a beef, duh."

[bewitchinghaze]

"Well maybe you need to come out and relax once in awhile, hm?" She reaches up, tweaking Riley's nose. "Haha, how funny! Exactly what I told Tristan!"

[jiyunnies]

"Outside evil. Inside good." Riley leans over, resting her head on Val's shoulder. "Awwww, such a sweet flower you are. Did you scare him off though?"

[bewitchinghaze]

"Outside is good. Outside means you don't die of scurvy because you aren't getting enough vitamin D, you ghost." Val laughs, leaning her head against her sister's. "He says he's still taking you out... I reserve scaring off for if he hurts you. What about Grant?"

[jiyunnies]

"Don't make fun of my sensitive, pale skin, yah." Riley grins to herself, glad Tristan wasn't scared off so easily. If he survived a questioning from Valeria Jung, he could definitely be a keeper. "He looked surprised and a little frightened, just how I want him," she grins. "But I doubt I completely scared him off."

[bewitchinghaze]

"It wouldn't be so sensitive and pale if you spent a little more time outside instead of in your dank-ass potion room," she taunts.

"Good. He's brave. I like that."

[jiyunnies]

"Not all of us tan nicely, okay."

"Brave or just insane, I haven't decided yet. Is he an ass all the time or just one of those that acts like an ass but has a heart of gold?"

[bewitchinghaze]

"Not like you'd know if you do or not."

"If Grant's insane, Tristan's insane," she points out. "It's an act. He feels like he has to live up to his family's legacy or something."

[jiyunnies]

"Pff," she flaps a hand at Val. "Why mess with flawless?"

"His mom didn't seem like an ass...I briefly met her at the ball and she seemed like a saint. Maybe it's the Middleton men?"

[bewitchinghaze]

"I'm glad to see you got mother's sense of modesty," she smirks.

"I think so, yeah. It's kind of a macho thing." She rolls her eyes, totally finding the whole thing rather silly. "I'll forever be glad we're both girls..."

[jiyunnies]

"As mom says, if you got it, flaunt it."

"We'd kill each other before we were eighteen if we were boys, probably."

[bewitchinghaze]

"You have to got it first though, unnie."

"Oh god. As if we didn't try sometimes," she laughs. "Our fights were really something to behold, huh?"

[jiyunnies]

"Woooooow, no need for rudeness here, Val. I'm telling Lou on you."

"And they aren't now? I think we've scared everyone here..."

[bewitchinghaze]

"I'm telling Lou you threatened Grant. She loves Grant."

"Good. Everyone should be scared of us. We're scary people," she grins, tugging on a piece of her hair.

[jiyunnies]

"She loves him, but surely she knows where I'm coming from."

"You would take pleasure in that," she grins.

[bewitchinghaze]

"She'll know where I'm coming from too then! So we're all good!"

"What? I think people should have a little more fear of little Asian ladies. We're not delicate lotus flowers like they think, y'know?" she laughs.

[jiyunnies]

"You're evil and you must be stopped."

"I think they definitely have fear or at least think we're insane," she grins.

[bewitchinghaze]

"You wanna try?" she grins.

"Eh, if they think we're insane they'll be scared anyway. I'm good either way, you know?"

[jiyunnies]

"Nah, I just want to be your right-hand lady."

"Best of both worlds. Unless we end up scaring off each other's crushes."

[bewitchinghaze]

"You can be chief advisor when I rule this town, 'kay?"

"Not a crush!" she mutters. "If you see any plants moving around you when you're at the restaurant, it's not me."

[jiyunnies]

"Sounds perfect."

"Mmhmm, not a crush," she grins. "Vaaall, if I see one plant, so help me. He's nice."
