somethingwithturquoise | ✨ MHA #2: Super Starlight Party!

So, the whole space part of Summer's plan for Annie's party didn't exactly pan out the way she was hoping. Part of her conversation with Lucifer on Wednesday had turned out to be somewhat prophetic, as one for her choices for location had conveniently decided to start a galactic civil war with their moon colonies, and the other place, apparently, didn't even exist anymore. The best guess was that it somehow involved Cromulans, which meant that planet was pretty much space dust now, which meant that Summer could pretty much kiss her deposit on that venue good-bye.

Which was fine! If she couldn't still pull together a more terrestrial party at the last minute, then she truly should just hang up her party crown now and retire in shame. So emails and texts went out, the gnomes at Portalocity would hopefully cooperate in sharing the news with anyone who showed up expecting to head elsewhere, that the party was relocated. And Summer was going to just use her own place for the cause, but, really, through the ensuing chain of events in preparation that morning, she remembered that Diego's apartment was pretty much literally right across the hall and easily twice as large.

So Diego's apartment it was!

Honestly, as boyfriend, it was literally the least he could do.

But because it was a little last minute and Summer didn't have the benefit of foisting at least half the cleaning duties on an NPC bartender like she could at Caritas, the decorations were a bit more...restrained. Oh, sure, there was still going to be glitter everywhere and every corner that Summer had access to was decked out in stars, but the mood was much different, trying to go for something a little more elegent in mood, with starlights draped out on the balcony, draped over doors, and projected over the walls and ceiling.

Look, if they couldn't make it out to space due to galactic conflict and super harsh critics with planet-exploding capabilities, they could at least try to bring the space to them.

Lucille might not be a party person, but showing up at social events had become less and less awkward. She wore her usual red dress, although perhaps she should get a new one soon, glanced at the star decor, and looked around for someone she knew well enough to approach.

She just wished people nowadays still had pianos. It always made things easier.

Well, she kind of knew the hostess! Who was going to try ~~ahahaha~~ to approach everyone, as a good hostess should!

"Lucille! Thanks for coming!"

Because it was such a long trek down the hall and everything!

"How've you been?"

"Oh, quite well, thank you. And yourself?" Lucille replied politely.

"It is quite a starry theme tonight."

"Amazing," Summer answered, truthfully, eagerly, because it was a party, there was no other acceptable answer. "And, yeah! It sort of works two ways, since this was originally supposed to be in space, but also, Annie's superhero name is Starlight, so, you know, obviously, you have to play up a theme when you've got it!"

"Oh. Yes that is true."

Lucille had only found out that Annie was a superhero from the invitation.

"Much as I would like to travel to space, this makes getting home a lot easier."

"Aaaaaare we planning on getting to a point where getting home easily will be a big concern?" asked Summer, with hopeful expectation very clear in her voice and her bright, encouraging eyes.

"Oh, I have no wish to leave the party prematurely," Lucille said, very deliberately misinterpreting and blushing slightly. "I am sorry if it came across that way."

"I was angling more for completely sloshed and stumbling rather than prematurely," Summer informed her with a smirk.

Sure, prematurely could also suggest that Lucille would be leaving because she didn't like the party, which would suck, but with that blush? Giiiiiiiirrrrllllllll.

"But I'm glad you're planning to stick around."

"Oh, I have learnt my lesson," Lucille replied, now smiling without a blush. "Hangovers are overrated."

"I actually feel like they're a really good metric to guage the success of a party," Summer informed Lucille with the confidence of a person who had given this sort of thing way more thought that it should ever be given. "But, then again, I'm sort of a professional, the hangover and subsquent recovery period is literally a part of the whole plan from start to finish."

If she ever actually applied this sort of energy to anything that actually mattered in the grand scheme of things, they'd all be doomed.

"It's a matter of taste, perhaps," Lucille said. "Although I am sure there are other kinds of enjoyment here."

"Maybe not here exactly," said Summer, with a faint grin, "but this is a cop's place, we might need to be a little discrete."

Yes. She knew that wasn't what Lucille was talking about.

But now Summer was kind of curious if Lucille would know what she was talking about.

"So, no poison in the jello shots," Lucille said, her laugh just a tiny bit tense.
