25 July: It's My Party
Four different kinds of gourmet Macaroni and Cheese. Stacks upon stacks of different finger sandwiches, with the yards worth of crusts used to make a couple of heated trays of bread pudding. A pineapple-banana-pecan cake possibly bigger than the birthday girl herself. A small table of vegan stuff, just in case.

Cindy couldn't stop grinning at it. Had she found awesome caterers or what?

The band specialized in swing covers of hard rock songs, but could play just about anything. There was a dance floor. All her friends from school were there, dressed to the eights.

Of course, all Cindy's friends from school didn't really fill up the little reception hall. And she certainly didn't have a big family. But that was okay, more room for her ~~soon-to-be-colleagues~~ fellow super-brats.

And so she scurried, from arrival to arrival, for cheerful welcomes.

	"Hi! Come on in, just put that over here!" And then there must be handshakes. "Nice to see you again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Firm ones too! She is careful that it isn't too firm of course. "It's good to see you too," she says with a smile. "How have you been?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She nods in agreement.

"It is an age of importance. On Paradise Island it is the year that we are allowed to join the patrols of the island officially," Corinna offers up that small tidbit of information. "I am well. I have started to make some head way in learning American customs. There is still so much I do not know yet."

But this is different from months before when she would have turned her nose up at all of this.

	It's a heck of a country to figure out." A thought. "Paradise Island sure has that sort of thing figured out. Here it can be so much harder to learn the ropes of the hero and heroine biz." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I agree. It is a much more orderly life. I miss the simplicity of it all somedays," she says. Which is a lie. She misses home every day. But she won't trouble her new friends with the truth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cindy nods a little. "How're you settling in? What's been up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've started to make connections. And my perceptions on the outside world have shifted." Which means that she is not as biased as she once was. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's great. Oh, got a party favor for you." She hands her a small, rolled-up poster print of a neo-classicist painting. "It's called 'Atalanta', apparently. It reminded me a little of Themiscryan things, so I thought you might like it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I..." Corinna looks surprised. This is one of the nicest gifts she has gotten while in Man's World. The surprise is reflected easily on her face.

"This is quite lovely. It reminds me a little of some of the paintings that we have back home. Thank you. I'm not sure I understand the custom though. I thought you were the only one to get gifts?" Did she forget to get others for everyone else?

"Oh, no, sorry, don't worry, you're good. I'm the only one who gets birthday presents. Party favors are just little presents people get for coming to a party, from the person giving the party. They're not always done, and a lot of people who do just give everyone the same thing, but I, just as personal opinion, think that shows a lack of marketing savvy, so I wanted a better quality of favor for my party. I'm very glad you like it."
