Housewarming Party (open RP)

[a_time_slip]

Today was her housewarming. Janie checked over everything several times to make sure it was all ready.

The house was completely spotless. She'd scrubbed every corner and made sure it was nice and clean for anyone who came by. Every picture on the wall was straight and the furniture all looked picture perfect. She had lots of snacks prepared and a few activities so people wouldn't get bored. Later, there would be a nice dinner.

She wasn't sure where Ian or Kelly were, but as long as they weren't making messes, it didn't matter at the moment.  Everything had to be perfect for the party.

With all the bustling and Ja'nee's perfection about the house Ian took to sitting in Kelly's bedroom playing Tetris with his daughter and Lex who'd arrived a day early to spend some time with Kelly.

Before the guests arrived, she looked around for everyone else, and realized they were all holed up in Kelly's room.

"Everything is ready" she said, from the doorway.

One minute. Ian didn't look up. He and Lex were in a heated battle of Tetris. It had gone on so long that the blocks were falling almost too fast to keep up with. Kelly got up and came over to Ja'nee.

They both are cheating.

Does Lex know the formula too?

Kelly shook her head. Lex is a computer geek.

Blake has just dropped Maddy off at Janie's house and she knocks on the front door. She is so excited to see Janie's new home. She'll be comforted knowing that Janie's in a good place and with a great guy. In her right hand is a gift bag containing their housewarming present.

Janie looked through the peephole, and smiled when she realized it was Maddy.

"Maddy! You made it! Come in!" She opened the door and stepped aside for her friend.

"Hi! I said I'd be here!" She walked in past Janie and had a look around. It felt warm and homely. "This is for you." She holds out the gift bag to her. It contains a framed photograph of the Brooklyn Bridge at night, a New York snow globe and an 'I ♥ New York' t-shirt.

Janie looked into the bag, and smiled. "Thank you! This will remind me of New York!"

Nica pulled up in a cab, grabbed a bag from the seat, waved at the driver and stepped up to the door. She knocked, thee rapid taps, and got a quick look around outside. Seemed like a nice enough place ...

Janie went to the door, and looked through the peep hole.

"NICA!" she smiled, opening the door, and giving her friend a hug "Come on in!"

[pencilsmightier.livejournal.com]

"Heya, hon! Wow, this is a really nice place! Here ... I thought these were very 'you,' so I picked 'em up. You can never have enough hand-towels, am I right? So, how are you?"

The towels in the bag were white, decorated with a repeating pattern of pocket watches.

"I'm great!" Janie smiled, and stepped aside for her friend. "You need to meet Ian and Kelly. Lex is here too."

John was running a little late because he had just got in that morning with Tim. Tim was like traveling with a ping pong ball. He did however make it to his driver and finally to Ian's new home.

Tim ran for the door shouting for "Uncle Ian" and leaving Hammond well behind. The boy would open the door and rush in if it wasn't locked.

Instead of Ian, Janie answered the door, and smiled at her new guests.

"Hello! Come in, please."

Tim pushed right past her to get to Ian. Hammond came up with a smile.

I'm afraid the boy is more eager to see Dr. Malcolm than anyone else. How are you?

John gave her a hug before she could protest.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

I'm doing great. She smiled

I know Ian is glad to see him. She hugged him back, happily

Well, it took some epic Mapquesting and a whole lot of crossing her fingers (which she didn't recommend while driving), but Saxsice had made it there in mostly one piece without hurting anything (she was pretty sure that bush hadn't REALLY wanted to be that close to the road).

Hopping out of the car, she gave her hair a quick smooth, then made her way up to the door to knock.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"Saxsice!" Janie grinned after she opened the door. "I'm so glad you made it! Thank you!"

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

Grinning as well, very proud of herself, Saxsice replied, "Course I made it. Wouldn't miss it."

"Come in, come in. There's lots of food."

Phoenix and Sal manifest silently outside, he looks around at the cars as she taps the door.

"Sure you're okay?" He's been asking her that for the last half-hour.

"I'm fine." Sal rolls her eyes. "After I've totally hit the wine... but you're gonna stay sober."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

Janie opened the door, and got a big smile on her face when she saw the two people on the other side of it.

"SAL! PHOENIX!" She gave them both huge hugs. "Come in, come in"

[none-too-srs.livejournal.com]

"Janie!" Sal takes her turn, hogging her friend for an extra-long hug. "Was gonna bring Corvo, so you could meet him... but Mr Weirdness here decided to crash in on my life." She laughs off an idle flick around her head from Phoenix.

"How are you? Gods, this is a nice place!"

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"The weirdness didn't come across my mind, I'm sorry... I'm so glad you're here. This is a really nice place, isn't it? Ian's got great taste."
