Housewarming Party! Apartment Above Luke's, Friday Afternoon Till Evening

[spin_kick_snap]

Raven and Kathy were officially moved in!

Okay, not everything was done and most of their stuff was still at Eliot's, but they'd gotten a lot of work done painting and assembling furniture and most of what was left could be moved over a bit at a time. Which meant...it was close enough to being fully moved in that a small party was warranted. Especially if you were looking for a way to show you were nice, sane and adjusted a reason to party!

The party proper started at 6pm with plenty of delicious foods to enjoy, but people were more than welcome to come over early and help with the remaining wall painting and furniture assembling there was to do. Help was appreciated, but mostly people were invited to over to eat, relax, and help make this new place feel like a real home.

[If you think you got an invite, you did! Up early for mega SP]

"Nate's the guy that got us all together," Hardison explained, stretching the truth just slightly. He was the one who'd kept them all together, which was far more important. "Grumpy old drunk an' almost as good a mastermind as Parker."

Raven's immediate mental impression of Nate resembled an alcoholic Santa Claus. "And you painted a mural of him?"

Re: Pre-Party

[geniuswithasmartphone]

Please share that with him, Raven. Please.

"I painted a portrait of him," Hardison corrected. "Made him look older, said it was his ancestor who founded Leverage in the first place. Mostly cause I knew it would annoy him." He grinned for a second. "Before he was the one who got us all together, he used to chase us. He worked as an insurance company investigator."

Okay, so a slightly trimmer alcoholic Santa Claus.

"Did you give him, like, an even longer long white beard?"

Re: Pre-Party

[geniuswithasmartphone]

"...White beard?" Hardison asked. "Nate kinda rocked the old up-all-night-on-a-bender stubble look sometimes--" Usually when he'd been up all night on a bender "--But he was mostly clean shaven. I just dressed him up in old-timey clothes an' added some gray to his temples."

"Oh." Raven shrugged. "You said old man and I kind of pictured, like . . . Santa."

Re: Pre-Party

[geniuswithasmartphone]

"Nah, nah, old like in his fifties," Hardison explained. "Mind you, when we got together, I was only a little older'n you. Twenty-one, so that thirty-year gap was pretty stark, yo."

Re: Pre-Party

Fifties seemed pretty damn old. Even with Raven being kind of an octogenarian herself, technically. "How old are you now?"

Re: Pre-Party

[geniuswithasmartphone]

Hardison heaved a giant sigh. "Now why you have to go bring that up?" he complained at her. "I'mma be thirty this summer."

Re: Pre-Party

[tigerundercover]

"Oh my gooooooooood," Raven said, putting on a cliche teenage girl voice. "That's so oooooooooooold. How are you so oooooooooooold?"

Re: Pre-Party

[geniuswithasmartphone]

"Girl, don't even start with that, you'll just give me a damn complex." Hardison shook his fist at her, in lieu of a cane. "Specially since you probably contributed most to givin' me the gray hairs I absolutely do not have."
