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.

Ian looked up from the two conversations he was having with the girls. Kelly was talking about her next competition and Lex was still trying to get him to give up his Tetris secrets. He managed to field both of them pretty well.

Hello. Ian smiled at the new guest despite Kelly pulling on his arm for attention.

"Hi!" Nica said, offering a hand. "I'm Nica, you must be the groom? Dr. Malcolm? My cousin gave me your book. I'm still workin' on it."

Ian shook her hand. Yes, I'm Ian Malcolm.

He smiled motioning to the girls. My daughter Kelly and her friend Lex.

Lex boldly stuck out her hand to have it shook too bt Kelly did not.

Your cousin follows my work?

"Yeah, Janie mentioned it to him and he read it, said it was really amazing and sort of like a theory of everything. Hi," Nica said, shaking hands with Lex, as well.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

The theory of everything? Ian was very amused by this. Uh.. chaos theory is involved in every evolving system and many static ones as well.

Hello. Lex smiled and Kelly finally offered her hand to Nica. Hello Nica.

"He mentioned something about strings ... I dunno, I followed much less of it than I wanted to. Hiya, Kelly!"

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

It's not that complicated really. I could explain it.

Kelly looked up at her dad. Dad's a good teacher.

"I'd love to hear about it sometime, yeah, definitely. So, are you getting excited about the wedding?"

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Ian shooed the two girls off to get something to eat.

I leave all the excitement to Ja'nee.

[pencilsmightier.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure it'll be a good time. She's definitely one of a kind, isn't she?"

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

She is something else. Ian grinned. He really loved Ja'nee.

"So, got a honeymoon planned out yet?"

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

No.. uh.. I've been thinking about a trip to Europe.

[pencilsmightier.livejournal.com]

"Europe's goon," Nica agreed. "I'm helping Janie with the wedding, but if there's anything you need me to help you with, just let me know. Okay?"

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Uh.... Goon? Ian looked rather confused. I can handle a wedding. I'm an unfortunate pro.

[pencilsmightier.livejournal.com]

Nica cleared her throat. " ... good," she said. "I swear, I haven't even been drinking, yet."

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Can I get you something to drink? Ian mentally kicked himself for forgetting his manners.

[pencilsmightier.livejournal.com]

"Yes, please," Nica said before the words had completely passed his lips. "Apple martinin if you have the makings for it, or just a regular martini if you don't."

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Gin or vodka martini? Ian asked as he tried to remember what he had.

[pencilsmightier.livejournal.com]

"Vodka's fine," Nica said.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure we have the ingredients for an appletini but I could make a pineapple martini. Ian started, slowly for the kitchen.

[pencilsmightier.livejournal.com]

"Ooh! That sounds really good," Nica said.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Will you get the vodka? I think Ja'nee took it into the living room. Ian started getting out what he would need to make the martini.

[pencilsmightier.livejournal.com]

Nica took a look around and located a nearly-full fifth of Stolichnaya. It was next to a bottle of scotch.

"Here we go ... You even have the good stuff, cool."

Ian got out one of their black martini glasses. It was on the counter chilling while he got out the olives.

Do you take your martinis dirty? ian asked it before he realized how it sounded.chucling he opened the shaker to add ice.
