Someone's old and everyone needs to know.

[i_got_this]

Who: Anyone! This means YOU!
What: York's Over The Hill Party because he admitted to being fucking 40
When: Tonight!
Where: Ballroom!
Rating: PG-13 for language (South)

Although it was something of a last minute production, South was eager for the chance to rub in York's age a little. She'd felt at such a disadvantage being the baby of her little group, and once the opportunity presented itself for a little mischief she couldn't ignore it.

It had taken some organization and a call out to York's friends, but people who knew him (and even some who didn't) were willing to pitch in and help out.

Thus, South had put up a bunch of decorations, in addition to whatever some of the others brought in. She even had a special hat for the party Boy. Five had someone making a cake, Aradia was helping put up decorations, Reno was in charge of alcohol ... South was quite pleased with herself.

Yeah, I'll do that.

So ... York didn't give you any trouble coming down here, did he? [South, wat. She's mentally facepalming as soon as she says it. Why was talking to Carolina always so hard?]

[youfallback]

[Shaking her head.] He usually doesn't. Helped that he didn't know you'd be calling him an old man for a couple hours.

[i_got_this]

Hey, helps me get back some dignity. It's not easy being the timeline baby. [Considering she was still under the impression Carolina came in from after her.]

[youfallback]

[Carolina raises her eyebrows at South for a moment. Well, maybe today is not the time to break the news that South isn't the earliest one here right now.]

Being further along isn't as great as you think it is.

[i_got_this]

Yeah well being early on isn't some great picnic either. It's like everyone else knows the deep dark secrets and I'm still out of the loop. Explain all you like, it's not like actually being there. [She gives a little shrug.]

Not that, you know, I want to experience it, [Certainly not after what Carolina told her,] It's just frustrating at times.

[youfallback]

[Well, Carolina can certainly identify with that. She didn't like being kept in the dark either and it had frustrated the hell out of her when York simply wouldn't tell her.]

We're still working on a way to try and change what happens.

[i_got_this]

You think you'll find a way? [She crosses her arms and just resists holding herself. She was still dealing with the fallout from Carolina's news.]

[She probably would be for a while.]

[youfallback]

[Carolina nods with certainty, despite not exactly feeling too confident herself.]

It'll happen, South.

[i_got_this]

[She hefts a heavy sigh,] I hope so.

[youfallback]

[Carolina nods one more time.] I'm gonna take a look around and see who's here.

[i_got_this]

[South's thankful for the change of topic.] Yeah, it got a nice little turn out.

[youfallback]

Either York's got a bunch of friends or you do, South. [Which she smiles a little about. In the larger sense, it means that South is at least making the effort to branch out.]

[i_got_this]

[South shrugs.] Hey, some people don't know either of us. Anyone will come when they hear 'party' and 'free booze'.

[But she is pleasantly surprised by the people she knows showing up. Is this what it's like having friends]

[youfallback]

[Carolina nods slightly.] I still recognize most of the faces here.

[i_got_this]

[South can't help a little scoff.] 'Course you do.

[Carolina probably made it a point to meet everyone in the castle when she first got here, South wonders.]

[youfallback]

[Well, not quite everyone, but she'd made it a point to talk to as many as people as possible while recruiting for the Floor Captains.]

You could too, South.

[i_got_this]

I don't need an entourage, thanks. [Bitter deflection because she knows she's not the most popular.]

[youfallback]

I didn't say entourage, South. [Carolina pauses, doing her best to not outright scold.] Just names and faces enough to help you out of you ened it.

[i_got_this]

Yeah, I'll get right on that. [Again she's stuck with that internal dilemma between I don't need anyone and I miss North, that as hard as she tries it still colors her words.]

[youfallback]

[Carolina watches South for a few long moments. It can't be easy without that pillar of support, even if she doesn't fully understand North and South's relationship.]

I mean it.

[i_got_this]

Don't worry, I got ya. [A touch irritated, trying to brush her off. She wouldn't doubt it if Carolina tried to order her to be friendly and get to know people, but that just wasn't happening.]

wow I can't hit submit apparently

[youfallback]

[Carolina's got a feeling that her message hasn't properly sunk in, but she'll definitely feels South trying to brush her off.]

I'm not worried. [A slightly more casual touch as she takes a sip of her water.]
