Hey, Tranquilized!

I know you're all working on a calender, bUT by my mark it's Septemeber 10th. So in two days it's Miles Edgeworth's birthday. Active invites to anybody who knows he'd want him there, and if you're an a--a jerk trying to gatecrash I will hit you with a taser and some rebar. So don't. Especial invites to John Watson, Jack New York Face, Alayne Wolf Girl, Sirius I Won't Eat Your Dude Parts, Jenna Awesome Weed Lady, and Jane Jesse's Girl.

Tenth floor common area, unless anybody has a better place.

[filtered from miles edgeworth]

Does anyone know how to make a cake? Or like...punch? Or party food in general? I got decorations, just--I can't cook. I can pay. Like, a lot.

[open | amended later]

This party isn't obligatory.

[open | even later]

And you don't need to bring presents!

[jurisimpudent]

Nothing. I simply...Well. I don't want people to feel obligated to come. There are few things less pleasant for people than parties that are obligations.

[voice]

[amethysts]

Oh! I'll just add to it, one sec, 'kay?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

...Quite. Well - add, too, that...presents should not be brought.

[voice]

[amethysts]

Done!

What's your favourite flavour of cake? ...do you even like cake?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

...I will quite confess, I do not even recall the last time I had cake. I cannot say.

[voice]

[amethysts]

So what do want as a...birthday treat thing? Favourite food, ever.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

That's a very kind question, but I fear that my favorite food would be impossible to source.

[voice]

[amethysts]

Try me.

And like--second fave, third fave? Best tea? Because oh, we will have tea. Most awesome fresh tea I harvest myself.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[He starts to tell her that his favorite tea is lapsang souchong...Then he realizes the folly in telling her that he likes something smoked. So instead he clears his throat - ]

White tea is very pleasant. As for favorite food...I quite like bouillabaisse. Second place would be steak-frites...Though I beg that you not touch that cow.

[voice]

[amethysts]

Jaye would straight up end me.

Okay. Which can we make with frozen stuff?

[She sort of hates there's nothing fresh, and that she doesn't know--]

And what are those?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

What are the foods? Well, bouillabaisse is...a seafood stew from Provencal, and steak-frites is...

[Also impossible to make. As is pretty much everything, and she wouldn't even know...He hesitates, grimacing, and then confesses:]

I also quite like meatloaf.

[voice]

[amethysts]

I can find somebody to make the stuff you actual want.

[She's stubborn, is all.]

I don't want you to settle. It's your birthday.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[His voice is a little bit gentle when he speaks.]

Libby, that you're even trying to celebrate it is more kindness than I ever could have expected. The material aspects are...minor. It would still be just as fine a celebration if we all dined on stale bread and water.

[voice]

[amethysts]

I just...

[She goes quiet, too.]

I want it to be wicked amazing. You deserve it. Um--steak-frites is just--steak and fries, right?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Essentially, yes...

[voice]

[amethysts]

Anything special that goes with? I have a chef.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

A...chef? Who?

Re: [voice]

[amethysts]

A surprise.

And if it sucks, just--throw me into space.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

If it "sucks," then I will thank you for the effort you put into it. It is a rare treat.

[voice]

[amethysts]

[She doesn't say anything special in answer but--her voice plainly glows.]

I promise it'll be as rad as I can make it. Same as your present.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Then I've no doubt whatsoever that it will be extremely - er - "rad."

[voice]

[amethysts]

So go chill. I got this.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

...Apologies. "Chill"?

[voice]

[amethysts]

Relax? You shouldn't be planning your own party.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

...Oh. Quite. Well. Indeed. Then I shall do so.
