4. Party Rock Anthem

Characters: Party People
Content: Bolin hosts a block party in Twilight Town. Food, fun, and partying! Whoo!
Location (including world): Twilight Town, The Sandlot
Time of Day: Late afternoon and into the night
Warnings: Excessive partying?
Notes: Feel free to start your own sub-threads, thread-jack, and just have fun. Open free for all is the style for threading.

Bolin, with the help of Spirits, Moogles, and various other people had finally finished setting up the party. There were tables laden with different kinds of food of course and decorations everywhere. They'd made sure to clear a space for dancing and Perry the Platypus had volunteered to DJ with some equipment borrowed from the moogles for the night. Bolin wished there could be more people so they could have games and stuff like a proper street festival...but for what he had he felt it was pretty good.

Now they just needed people to show up for the fun.

Have you ever seen such a dapper hebby repp? Probably not!

Then again, Dax isn't half as charming as he thinks he is. He nodded enthusiastically when Ziva queried the source of his fancy ensemble, and he leant forwards to let both the bat and plant spirits get a better look at it. Once that was done, he straightened up and his tail curled round to mimic a bow tie at the base of his throat. Once came with the hat, but he thought it was a bit much..

His Person IS around here somewhere, that much is true, but seemed to be taking her sweet time getting there. Then again, there was quite a lot of food set out for everyone; even if Carolina didn't seem to eat much (definitely not enough, in Dax's glutton-biased estimation), surely there had to be something she'd like here.

Fluffy pointed at the hat with a wing before squeaking up at his person: I want one! Ziva laughed, she gathered his meaning pretty easily. "We will have to ask her after the party is over, no?" She watched the pantomiming from Dax. "And I think Ducky would look very sharp with a bow tie." And, a lot like his human counterpart.

"Since you are here, but Carolina is not, would you like something to eat?" No, she wasn't plotting to get Dax hyped up on sugar, not at all!

Strut. Dax was more than happy to be a walking advertisement for Rarity's wares. They were *very* nice. She even made something for my Person to wear, he said happily to his fellow spirits. My person's talent is the best, but I like Rarity's too.

And then: the magic words. Almost immediately, the hebby repp bounced closer to the table, eager expression clearly answering the question.

Ziva chuckled again, watching as Dax showed off. He at least seemed happy with what he was wearing. Fluffy was just jealous, she would have to make sure she took him by the shop later.

"I will take this as a yes." She said, handing him one of the treats she had tried making for the Spirits. "You will have to let me know if it is good or not."

Fluffy and Dax would be the best looking spirits once the bat had a hat of his own. But Ziva's request was a very easy one for Dax to complete. The treat was accepted with care, and Dax tossed it back futher between his jaws to start crunching down on the meal. Glutton that he was, he'd eat anything put in front of him, so the potential was there that he'd be the wrong spirit to ask for an opinion on the treat.

Ziva laughed before tossing another of the treats down, this one at Fluffy, who was still being surprisingly patient. She watched as he nabbed it, before starting to chomp on it himself.

"Well, I will take two happy customers as good reviews."

Dax was a very happy customer, if the wide happy smile and the lizard tongue licking at any crumbs around his muzzle was anything to go by. He could probably have spoken over any objections from Fluffy, but it was clear he'd enjoyed it, and he immediately opened his mouth and pointed with his tail to indicate he'd like seconds, please!

"Why am I not surprised to find you eating already," sighed a woman's voice, Carolina stepping out from around several customers paying attention to a different booth. "He hasn't been causing trouble, I hope." Dax squeaked a happy objection at her, but the redhead wasn't looking.

Fluffy knew his Person's food was great! He and his spirit-bro and sis had been the taste testers for most of the stuff for the spirits. (It had been a great few days, foodwise.)

Ziva looked up from the spirits when she heard the familiar voice. "No trouble at all, actually. I was using him as another tester."

"Careful, you'll never be rid of him if you do that," Carolina replied, even as Dax looked expectantly between the two humans. There WERE more treats to try, right? All the smells here told him so!

Carolina then took the time to survey the spread, lips parting in faint surprise. That was a lot of food. "Did you prepare all of this?"

Since Carolina was there, Ziva would let her ration out the treats for her Spirit. She laughed as Dax looked at both of them, waiting for more food.

"I did." She said with a small shrug. "I had some extra time on my hands lately."

'Ration'? What is that strange and oh-so-foreign concept? Dax had no clue. Carolina ignored, for now, his plantive looks, instead offering a friendly nod to Fluffy as she stepped closer to the table.

"Time well spent, by the looks of things." It was certainly a great deal more than Carolina could manage; years on MREs and little in the way of actual food for cooking meant her skills were rather lacking. She was impressed, to say the least.

Dax nudged her leg. His person should totally try something. And give him another treat while she was at it.

Fluffy does a salute with a wing before hopping back up onto a bare portion of the table. He may have 'accidentally' knocked another treat onto the ground near Dax when doing so. Ziva gave him a look, that didn't go unnoticed by her, young bat.

"I hope everyone enjoys them." She said, motioning for Carolina to take some, if she wished. "Cooking is one of my hobbies at home." Well, her main one, really, with what little free time she had there.

Awwwyis, Fluffy knows what it's about. Dax churrred happily at the bat, before nomming down the new offering. Their persons would get over it. "I'm sure they will," said Carolina, with certainty, looking over the spread. What would you recommend?" Was anything spicy?

Lips pursed while considering her options. She wasn't greatly hungry, but it would have been rude to walk away without taking a plate of food with her. And what she didn't eat, she was fairly sure she could pass on to York when the man showed up again.

"Well, it depends on what you are looking for." She motioned towards one row of food. "This is more on the bland side. And to the left is what is more spicy." She explained a bit more as she pointed things out.

"A little of everything, perhaps," the redhead said, even as Carolina gravitated more towards the hotter selection right off the bat. Dax snuffled in the direction of the human foods, before nomming once again on his treat. Seemed like everyone had something to suit them!

"Did you find time to eat in the middle of preparing all this?" Wouldn't do for the cook to pass out from not consuming some of their own handiwork, after all!

Ziva shrugged. "A bit. Mostly taste testing, but nothing of the finished product. I have had most of it before. That is how I know which ones would be best." She noticed where Carolina was looking.

"If you want spicy, try this." She motioned to a plate of chicken wings. "You will probably like them. But, I would not give them to Dax, his fire may become slightly too hot."

Spicy? Ewwww. Dax made a disagreeable sound. "I don't have any concerns there. He's got less tolerance for hot food than Florida." That poor man. Nonetheless, Carolina does set a couple of the chicken wings onto one side of her plate. Small helpings selected, all round - she wasn't used to so much food, or having much of an appetite anymore. It was better not to push it.

"Been a long time since I had access to anything like this," she commented offhandly. "Thank you. For the effort."

She laughed at the sound Dax made. Sounded similar to one when Abby had grabbed the wrong thing during the cooking sprint... Yeah, that hadn't ended well. But at least the panda now knew to not grab random things off the counter and eat them.

"Enjoy." Ziva said. "And let me know what you think, it has been a while since I have cooked some of these things."

The lazy spirit had no appreciation for spicy food, was all. Carolina simply shook her head at him, before offering Ziva a very rare half-smile. "I'm afraid mine's not a particularly cultured palate," which was a bonus, really, because MREs? Could easily kill anyone's taste buds, "but I'll let you know." Brief as that smile was, it made it clear she'd be sure to do so.

"Let me guess, do you take your coffee black, no sugar? A spoon could stand straight up in it?" The freelancers sometimes reminded her of Gibbs... She figured it was the Marine part.

"Thank you." She said to the last comment. She really wanted to make sure her cooking skills were still up to where they used to be.

There was a faint snort. "Creamer's an expensive commodity, especially during war time," Carolina replied, tilting a shoulder in a lazy shrug. "And some nights needed a blacker coffee than others."

Carolina can appreciate that feeling, which was why there was simply a second nod of acknowledgement before she went back to picking at other foods.
