Happy Birthday to Meeerrrrrreeeeeeeeee [Open Mingle]

[abrightboy]

Who: The residents of ADI Apt B1 and YOU.
When: January 18th, from early evening onward.
Where: Apartment B1 at the ADI complex.
Summary: Tim Drake discovered Meredith Idlewild's birthday is today (by snooping in her stuff) and her boys decided to throw her a little surprise celebration since she, you know, looks after them and shit. Ofc neither of them knows how to do that, really, so Malcolm has recruited Neal Caffrey as Party Planner.
Warnings: To be added as necessary but none to start.


Thanks to Neal's intervention, the party Malcolm and Tim are throwing for Meredith is very nice, with tasteful decorations and good wine, alongside fancy finger foods and even fancier cocktails. Neal mans the 'bar' personally, mixing drinks for anyone who'd like to try one.

Malcolm and Tim will try to be social. It's for Meredith.

They did use Tim's connections, too. He recruited Jeff to slip invites onto people's desks if they work at ADI and take some over to Bonnie's. Meredith deserves maximum appreciation. The invites instructed everyone not to say anything to Meredith. When she comes home, it's meant to surprise her.

Early evening: SURPRISE!
When Meredith gets home, get ready to shout!

Mid-evening
Mix, mingle, eat and drink.

Late-evening
Your hosts will arrange a cab if you can't make it home; they already have a police lieutenant sleeping on their couch and tonight has been a lot of peopling for them. If they need to carry you down there... they're more capable of it than their slight frames would suggest.

"Oh, um... you know. The dipping stuff? Peanut sauce," he clarifies, as if that was the confusing part of his question. "Is it real peanuts, or is it just fancy peanut butter?"

"It's usually made with peanut butter and other ingredients so you could call it fancy peanut butter if you really wanted to."

[cacophonish]

"Huh." He takes a moment to absorb that information, then looks down at the sauce on his plate, newly enlightened. "I can't believe it's not real peanuts... That's cool, though, I mean, it still tastes good either way." A beat, then, "So, like, are you and Meredith close?"

[bossyboiler]

"What do you think peanut butter is made from?" Kate is very confused. Either he is having a moment or he's not in his right mind. She isn't sure. "No. We were in the same department for ADI."
