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.

Val raises an eyebrow, propping her fist against her hip. "Really? You won't mix magic and pills but you'll mix alcohol and pills?"

[louise_abasi]

"..."

She put her head in her hands. "Never mind. Don't think I already did."

[bewitchinghaze]

Val laughs, patting her back. "A little frazzled? That's the whole point of this party. You sit and take a load off. Tristan brought pie..."

[louise_abasi]

"Oh God, you brought Tristan. I mean, invited him. He has yet to accept my payment, it's getting incredibly embarrassing. Or maybe that happened when I was out .."

She sighs. "Okay, pie me. On a plate, not in the face."

[bewitchinghaze]

"Goddammit, Lou. I was really hoping you wouldn't catch that," she grins. "I was all set to get you in the face with a banana cream pie. What kind would you like?"

[louise_abasi]

"Was that a cuuuuuurse?" She blinks and bites her tongue. "Maybe my tongue is finally curling up. No, that's not ..oh gosh, I don't know if this was the best idea, Val. I never take pain killers.

Pecan caramel."

[bewitchinghaze]

"Goddammit is hardly a curse, Lou. Maybe if I'd say... Fucking goddammit all to hell."

She presses her hands into Lou's shoulders. "Sit. Stay. Pecan caramel pie coming right up."

[louise_abasi]

What the heck is going on?

"O..kay." Maybe it was just the pain killers. Did Val usually curse? "I'll be here."

[bewitchinghaze]

She skips off to the table, bringing over a large plate of pie and a glass of juice. "Here. Drink this and eat this. It should help cut any dizziness and confusion from the pain killers."

[louise_abasi]

"You're not letting me go until I do this, are you?"

She breaks off a piece of pie and hums with pleasure. "Oh good lords. Do sirens come in pie-size now? Because this makes me happy. Oh, I filed a complaint with the cab business. I didn't feel like I deserved rude impatience when exiting from the hospital. I mean I wasn't bitchy or something, right?"

[bewitchinghaze]

Val grins, patting her shoulder. "No way in hell, Lou."

"Don't worry about it. You're totally in the right. That dude couldn't wait the two minutes it took to get you all situated. You're dealing with people coming from a hospital, dude," she grumbles. "You need to have more patience than that."

[louise_abasi]

"Say dude again."

She giggles. "Okay, hell it is. Do you have a fork?"

[bewitchinghaze]

She sticks her tongue out at Lou, scurrying off and coming back with a fork.

"At your service, madame," she teases.

[louise_abasi]

"Carry on and you'll see me blushing pretty time soon." She pats Vals head. "Thank you so very much, loyal subject."

[bewitchinghaze]

"I'm a real charmer, I know," she teases, swatting away the hand.

[louise_abasi]

"One day you will surpass me."
