[Steph did a filter like this when Ezio's birthday was approaching, and she was a little nervous about who might show up--funny how she's feeling something similar when filtering to Cass' friends. Who all did she know?

Nevertheless, she sounds upbeat and cheerful.]

Hey! This is Stephanie, Cass' roommate and friend. Her birthday is at the end of the month, and I was thinking she'd be thrilled to have a little party. I don't know how well a surprise party would go with her [that pesky ability to read body language...!], but I know she'd love to have all her friends in one place.

[Which is not the Bathaus. Roommate #3 would not be appreciative of so many bodies in their living space, she imagines.]

I was thinking we could do a beach day in the seasons room. Any objections? Swimming is optional, and obviously there will be more food than we could ever seriously finish. Though that might just be a challenge. Take it as you will.

Anyway, let me know if you're interested and I'll send you guys proper invites when we're closer to the day.

... and, you know, try not to let her know what's up. But I know that might be kind of hard.

[Boy does he not want to be around people. Still, he cares about Cas so he'll at least sound off]

I'll skip the party, but I'll make sure I send something for her.

[secondchances]

Gifts aren't as important as the company, Once. Come on.

[whichwayyoulean]

I'm not very goo company right now.

Stephanie

[gottaknockhard]

[...So apparently he's a friend now. That happened quickly.]

What kind of food?

Spike

[secondchances]

Good question. What kind of food do you want? We could have anything and everything.

Steph

[gottaknockhard]

Everything, huh?

[He remembers Cass' appetite at breakfast, so he should probably narrow that down. Like he's legitimately considering going just for food when he's too lazy to wish for some. It's never gotten him into trouble before.]

You can't go wrong with lobster, steak, tacos, and hotdogs.

[assassino]

It has been some time since I have been to the beach, and I cannot think of a better reason for that to change than dear Cassandra's birthday.

[secondchances]

Do I need to ask for good behavior?

[assassino]

No, no, of course not! I am always well-behaved.

[eaglet]

Ah... what is expected of guests at a birthday party? I would not want to do something improper.

[assassino]

Actually speak to people, I think. You need to socialize more.

[?????

Who asked you?????

??????????????????]

I speak to people.

[secondchances]

Just have fun and relax. And ignore Ezio. I encourage chatting up Cass' friends, but don't make yourself uncomfortable. Okay?

If there's anything I can do to help out, just let me know.

Volleyball referee? [She's mostly joking.]

[focusrighthere]

[...huh. So this is Stephanie. So he's a friend. Cass wasn't kidding about getting attached quick.]

She's turning nineteen, right? [Just doublechecking. An invite to a beach party for a teenager, yeah, he won't be out of place at all.]

[secondchances]

[Who... the... this guy sounds up there when it comes to age. Either Cass is volunteering somewhere or she's just endearing to all sorts.]

Err--you're a new one. What's your name?

[samson]

Oh, I didn't know you two knew each other. [Small world.....]

Uh, I could probably come but that might be kinda weird. I might just send her something, you know?

[secondchances]

[Cass gushes about her to everyone else, what the hell.]

Likewise. Cass and I come from the same world. And... we sort of live together, but details, right?

You could bring Molotov to balance things out. Ezio's going to be there, so you guys can hang out and stuff, too. Cass won't mind.

[lucre]

[ Her giggling is so telling though, like there's something she's definitely not saying here. ]

We should have brownies.

[secondchances]

[What kind of brownies, Lucrezia...]

Homemade or castlemade?

[putuporshutup]

Sounds like a blast. Let me know if I can do anything food or drink wise.

[secondchances]

Sure thing. What's your name?

[fissions]

I am interested. And so, I assume, would Raleigh.

May we help?

[secondchances]

[A new voice. That knows the new cute guy!]

Both of you know Cass, huh? I'd never say no to more hands helping me set stuff up.
