Midnight Manor Boarding House Movie Room, Saturday Evening

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

As soon as Kamala had turned back into a person yesterday, Arden and Eleanor had swung into action. Arden had contacted Mr. and Mrs. Khan to let them know that Operation Birthday Bash was a go and about what time she'd be by to pick up the cake, and then called Mr. Najaf to see if he would be willing to cook up a whole slew of gyros (including some vegan gyros in case Steven or Watts showed up) for Kamala's birthday the next day. She also messaged Bruno and asked Mr. and Mrs. Khan if they could pass the invitation on to Nakia, letting them know about the party and offering to arrange portal service if they could make it out. After that had come handwavily messaging everybody else to let them know that they were celebrating Kamala's belated birthday at Midnight Manor on Saturday evening.

And lo, now it was the appointed hour. Ellie was keeping Kamala distracted upstairs (Arden was not asking how), and she was here setting out drinks (sodas, though Mr. Khan had sent Arden home with a jug of 'sweet tea,' which she had been very appreciative of and had appreciatively poured down the drain once she'd gotten home), gyros, and setting out Mrs. Khan's cake, leaving a spot in case Ellie had somehow managed to find or invent a Squishie cake. Bollywood movies were playing on the TV (though currently with the volume very low), there was a karaoke machine on standby, balloons and streamers were up, the guests Avengers assembled...

Now all they needed was the co-host and the birthday girl!

[Open! If you're a student, a resident of Midnight Manor, or just think Kamala is cool, feel free to handwave yourself an invite!]

"Absolutely possible to do that," Steven said. "It could even help keep them from hurting themselves. If there was a fall from a height, for example."

Arden nodded. And maybe it would help Cal feel less like he was stagnating on the island while he waited for a portal to get back to his own world.

Bad thought, never mind.

"So I don't know if we'll ever get a theater performance night going on, but we can make more use of it, now that we remember it."

"Please," Steven said. "Just let me, Marc, or Llewellyn know so we can put it on the calendar. Make sure no one pops in and interrupts if someone is on a date or the like."

Well, that wasn't something she needed to worry about, but there were plenty of other people in the house who might, including the birthday girl.

"I'll pass that along," she said. "I bet we could have a lot of fun with that."

"Wonderful," Steven said. "Here, I'll get started on those decorations then.

There was going to be a barely inflated balloon flying out of his hands in a few minutes. But the streamers would be great!

Everybody knew streamers were the most important decoration anyway.

"Well put me down for Saturday," Arden said and went to finish laying out the gyros.
