HAPPY BDAY FUCK JOE BIDEN

BIRTHDAY BAR NITE

Wednesday night brings the Lobby a large influx of celebrants. It's Reggie and Beck's birthday! This is just a normal night at the bar functionally; unless otherwise noted, all characters will have to pay for their own drinks, although Ares will bully everyone to purchase them for the birthday kids. He made a very simple cake with a somewhat expired box mix, and didn't kill anyone while doing it, but there's not really enough for everyone. Sorry! At a certain point there are fireworks! This is the most basic ic/ooc in the whole world but have fun.

He is sort of at the end of his rope emotionally after a long day of trudging through the woods looking for a deer feral. At least the problem is solved now, but if this were anyone's birthday party besides Reggie's, Jem would probably have just gone home for the night. He sticks it out for awhile, and has exactly one (1) drink which does nothing to help his sulky attitude.

"I need to report a fire hazard," Beau declares, in lieu of saying hello. These are the first words she's spoken directly to Jem since Sunday, despite being in Prescott every day for responder training. It wasn't deliberate. Not at first. But bad enough that people are already gossiping about one Betancourt twin.

Jem has been deeply lost in thought since he arrived at this party, but not so much so that he isn't vaguely aware of what Beau is up to. He draws a deep breath as he shakes off his reverie, and then tilts his head as he looks her over.

"Is it you?" he asks.

"You know, a gentleman would let me do my punchline." Despite her annoyed tone, Beau is smiling as she leans against the bar, watching him. She's been watching for a few minutes now, and suspects he hasn't noticed at all. "Or at least take care of these delinquents and their fireworks."

Jem's brow creases as he offers her a skeptical smile, amused despite himself. "What do you want me to do about it exactly?"

"Come outside. Stop brooding." She takes a couple steps back towards the exit, and gives Jem an obvious once-over. "Actually... second part is optional."

He laughs at this, although it's not like he can particularly call her out for being shameless. Still, it visibly lifts his mood.

"Yeah, alright," he says, grabbing his hat off the bar and setting it on his head as he gets up to follow her.
