008--Today is a birthday we wonder for who, we know that it's somebody right in this room....

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[So, in honor of her birthday, Rose Tyler has set up typical birthday party things--cake, pie, party hats, cola, cookies, and food in general. And there are streamers. OH YES. They're pink.]

...I don't think I'm forgetting anything. Oh! Right! [And there's a game of pin the tail on the donkey hanging up on a tree]. Love that game.

((It's Rose's 21st birthday, she's throwing a party, feel free to threadhop, blah blah blah, you know the drill.))

Aren't you a little old for this kind of thing?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Why?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Nothing. Just saying.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. 'course you were. Want some cake?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

What kind?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

There's a chocolate one and a white one.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Piece of each, then. [pulls out a flask] Got the drinks covered.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Gets him a piece of each, because Rose is nice like that] 'course you would.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[grins and digs in] Want a drink?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

What is it?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Whisky, of course.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I think I'll pass. Attempting to stay sober until Mickey and Jake drag me all night and all.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

There's no fun in hitting up the pubs if you aren't pissed all ready, luv.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Wanders up.]

Never too old for a party. [Tiny smile.] Though the food and decorations are a bit... [...pink.] Young.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Too old to throw one yourself. [smirks and offers her one of his flasks] That's what whisky's for, luv.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[She accepts, because what else can she do? salutes him with it and takes a swig, managing not to cough at the burn of it moving down her throat. She has not drunk as much alcohol in the past year as she had in the several weeks she's had access to the Astral Plane.]

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[alcohol is good! and Gene grins at her reaction and slaps her on the back in a friendly bar-going way] That's the spirit, luv!

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Almost--but not quite--staggers from it, and gives him a sideways grin.] Half my men would probably faint if they saw you do that.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Do what? Pat you on the back? What, afraid I'm gonna break you in two?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Still-twisted grin.] No. They would be afraid that I would break them. You don't get to be the first female Section-Chief of foreign affairs by being a lightweight or a pushover.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Pfft. You're a bit too much of a twig to scare me there, luv. Pretty little birds like you are good to look at, though.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[There's mischief in her grin now.] Tell that to Saito. He's maybe twice your size, a wrestler, and has a tendency to jump when I say his name. [Frown.] Of course, he's also seen me gun down a charging suicide bomber, so I suppose it's a hard comparison to make.

[Takes another swig from the bottle, this time expecting the burn. She dabs delicately at her mouth with her wrist.] And thank you, I suppose. It comes in handy doing undercover work. Men are more likely to brag if they find you attractive.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

That so? Most birds I know wouldn't be able to take a something like that. Don't have the constitution for it.

[pulls out another flask and takes a drink himself] Not big on undercover work myself. I'll do it, but I'd rather just break the door down and nick some bastards red-handed.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Tiny smile and a shrug.] It's part of the job these days.

And as you say, I'm a bit of a twig to be busting down many doors. Shoot out the hinges, maybe, but... [Inspects the other party goers.]

A few weeks ago I wouldn't have believed anything like this was possible. Funny, considering where I come from.

How do you mean?
