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.

"Thanks, mother." She clings to Lara until she feels the pillows under her. "Think you can find me something for plaster as well?"

[asharpertongue]

Looking around, she spots a bamboo garden stick. She presents it like a wand. "Ta da!! Stick that down the side and scratch away."

[louise_abasi]

"..is that a good idea?" She grins. "I'm so blaming you for everything that happens."

[asharpertongue]

She pulls the thin stick back and raises an eyebrow. "Well if you don't want to scratch those itches...?"

[louise_abasi]

"I thought about distraction, a pillow and enough alcohol to keep me from smashing my leg against something until the plaster disappears?"

[asharpertongue]

"Or you could scratch it with a scratchy stick...?"

[louise_abasi]

"Is every siren this practical?"

[asharpertongue]

She laughs. "Do all humans suffer for no reason?"

[louise_abasi]

"Excuse you, maybe I have plenty of reason." It almost rolls of her tongue, it's so easy. "Don't be a suffering-snob."

[asharpertongue]

Lara laughs and passes her a drink from the bar next to them. "Drink this. It's good for what ails you. Drama queen."

[louise_abasi]

"You say that like it's a bad things." She sniffs the drink. "What is it?"

[asharpertongue]

Lara sniffs the drink too. "No idea. Punch?"

[louise_abasi]

"You're feeding me something unknown? Lara! I'm hurt here!"

[asharpertongue]

"It's a punch made by healing witches for hurt people. What part of that spells bad things for you?"

[louise_abasi]

"Well, the last t-

okay." She gives her a shove. "Stop always being right for once."

[asharpertongue]

Lara grins triumphantly and kisses her friends cheek. "What would do without me?"

[louise_abasi]

"Get drunk, fall on my face and have sex with a gorgeous stranger?"

[asharpertongue]

"Well I can help you with all those things."

[louise_abasi]

"I know this town is very ambivalent every-sexual, but I'm still the boring straight woman, Lara." She sips her drink. "And if you're not offering it with a magical hangover cure, a magical anti-STD thingamajigg and magical birth control, I'm not even touching it."

[asharpertongue]

Lara made a face. "I know for a fact you're not that precious. You still have that date arranged with my charming young men."

[louise_abasi]

".. there's no magical anti-STD thingamajig?"

[asharpertongue]

"I think you'd have to ask Val or Riley about that."

[louise_abasi]

"No siren blood I can tap or something?" She chuckled. "Tap that."

[asharpertongue]

Lara snorts a laugh. "You're terrible."

[louise_abasi]

"I blame every circumstance right now for that."
