Koreoke, Washington DC, Saturday Night

Sure, some people were busy fighting rampaging snow monsters and stuff today. But for those who were friends with Kathy ~~and Dante~~, they had another option available to them: Kathy's 21st birthday party!

Their venue for the evening was Koreoke, a Korean barbeque restaurant that doubled as a karaoke bar. Kathy had rented out the back room for her party, which included three long barbeque tables, a stage with up to four microphones (in case of boy bands and group numbers), and a bartender along the far wall to serve drinks all night until last call.

Because if turning twenty-one wasn't a good reason to stuff yourself full of grilled meat (well, veggies and tofu in Kathy's case), get drunk, and sing your heart out to the largest selection of karaoke tracks Kathy had ever seen in one place, then what was?!

[Up VERY early for SP because holidays are a THING (and so are BDEs). Open to pretty much anyone who is/was Kathy's friend (or Dante's friends that Kathy also knows)!]

"Yeah, it wasn't exactly the best way to spend the holidays there," he said, lifting the glass in a salute before downing it. And then promptly coughing.

Kathy passed over a bowl of noodles to help take some of the sting out. "Sorry, soju can get a little strong," she said. "But yeah. Something like that always happens around this time of year. Weird stuff can happen at any time, but mid-spring, late summer, and the holidays are when you really have to watch out."

"More of a beer guy normally," he admitted, gladly accepting those noodles. It was like he was a bottomless pit when it came to food. For some reason. "I'll hafta check back issues of the paper for that stuff."

He was in good company: werefoxen, Nephilim, and superballs all tended towards bottomless pits when it came to food.

"Between that and the radio, you should get a good idea of what to expect," Kathy nodded. "On the plus side, Caritas is usually a safe place to go and there's booze there."

So, he might have been the normal one for a change! Kinda. Sorta.

Okay, he was in good company.

"I'll have to keep that place in mind for the next time." Unless it was something he could actually... not want to fight, but have to fight with Venom's help. "Evil Frosty's were pretty freakin' annoying."

"My dog liked flinging himself into them," Kathy confided. I don't think they were ready for someone to bumrush right through them."

Kathy hadn't done that. She'd just struck a bunch of them with lightning.

Yes, but had it worked nearly as well as the puppy attack? Had it?

"I hadn't thought about that method of attack," Eddie replied with a surprised laugh. "I was more... trying not to get frostbite."

....No.

"Same," Kathy admitted, laughing. "I'm a California girl. Snow is the devil and I'm cold from mid-October through May. Drives the guys nuts because they're reminded that I really love them for their body heat."

"I was livin' North Cal for long enough that I somehow forgot how shitty the winters out here can get," he admitted. "And you got two of 'em, why are they complaining? Just take turns."

"According to them, they do," Kathy snarked. "It's just always the other one's turn, weirdly enough."

Her feet were freakishly cold. Even her dog whined when she stuck them under him.

Just get an alien symbiote and start running ten degrees over what you should be at. Sure, you might be a sweaty mess and jump into a lobster tank at first, but it'd aaaaall be worth it.

"Chore chart?"

Don't tempt her. Winters were brutal for this thin-bloodee summer girl.

She snickered. "Okay, but first they'd have to agree to chores," she said. "I have no idea how they work that out between them."

All she knew was that the house was generally clean enough that she didn't run screaming when she visited.

Just find your perfect alien goo buddy out there.

"Maybe try just putting it up like one of 'em did it." Eddie. Eddie, please don't give relationship advice.

Yeah but goo buddies weren't all that thick on the ground, now were they?

"I just stick my feet on whoever's closest and listen to 'em cry," Kathy said cheerfully. "It's comfort and entertainment all at once."

Not unless there was invasion going on. Again.

"I think I woulda gotten kicked off the bed if I'd done that before."

Yes, well, who worked really hard to put a stop to that. Thanks, Venom, for forcing Kathy's feet to stay cold.

"I'm clingy," Kathy said, her lips twitching. "They'd have to pry me off first."

In his defense, that dude sucked.

"See, my ex had some sharp elbows." And Eddie was so whipped in a relationship.

Didn't look like that had changed with his new relationship, either.

"Dante wouldn't even register my elbows," Kathy grouched. Fucking Nephilim. "And Anders is a monster with the puppy eyes."

...She was also whipped.

Okay, rude. Venom and him had an equal partnership that shouldn't be compared to a romantic relationship--stop laughing! It was all normal!

"Okay, this place makes me hafta ask... we talkin' real monster here?"

Asking for a friend.

Suuuuuuuure, pal.

"Nope, the cute blonde over there," Kathy said, pointing. "Mage, not monster. The blue girl isn't a monster either, she's a mutant. Shapeshifter and my old roommate."

She didn't think anyone here except Eliot classified as 'normal' (Eliot really didn't, either, but he was human on a genetic level), but she wasn't sure how 'out' anybody was.

"Shapeshifter and Superball, that was us."
