Who: Bonnie Bennett, Enzo St. John and anyone else who wants to jump on in! OTA!
Where: Bonnie and Enzo's appartment
When: Tuesday night
What: THE OFFICIAL ENZO PARTY THREAD!!
Status: Open
Warnings: None as yet, will update as needed.

It had been a shock for Enzo, waking up human, but Bonnie had attempted to put as positive a spin on it as she could by taking him out the previous night for a pre-birthday meal. It turned out, Katherine wasn't the only vampire to enjoy the taste of real food, but he hadn't totally thrown off the glumness. She hoped what she had planned for his birthday would get him entirely out of his funk, even if it was just for one night. He was officially turning 28, after almost a century, which had to be something to celebrate!

Bonnie wasn't as good as Caroline at organizing parties, but she'd watched her friend do it enough times to know what was important. Food, drink, music and, of course, presents. She'd ordered Enzo out of their apartment earlier in the day and almost certainly spoiling any chance of a surprise party and then started setting the scene for a night to remember. A few hours of hard work later, food platters were laid out (with more to come, if Alicia showed up) and the bar was more than liberally stocked with alcohol of various shades and colours. There was even some of that blue stuff that people only ever turned to when everything else had been drunk and regretted for days after. It wasn't a party without the blue stuff!

Once everything was set up Bonnie turned her attention to Enzo's presents, which she'd been accumulating since they'd arrived in this world. There really was only one thing she could think that he'd go nuts over and so when Enzo returned home he was greeted with a massive smile and a stack of presents which included just about every guitar accessory she could think of and a Gretsch G6136T-LTV White Falcon and amp. "Happy Birthday," she said as she tilted her head towards the wrapped gifts, "you might want to open that one last," Bonnie pointed to the box that contained the guitar, "or first, depending on how much delayed gratification you're in the mood for today." As far as the party was concerned, until the rest of the crowd showed up, she was more than happy to watch her man enjoy his gifts.

Rose Hathaway and OPEN

It was the little things that reminded Rose she was somehow different. She got tired a little more easily, her times were slower when she went running, weights that would have been effortless before seemed almost impossible, she wasn't hungry as much. It was weird, but it wasn't the huge change a lot of others were experiencing and it wasn't really affecting her day to day life much. Honestly, it was just another good distraction. This whole adventure was. There was a part of her that desperately missed Lissa and worried about her, but she trusted that her best friend was safe at St. Vlad's. Dimitri would protect her. If she didn't trust anything else, she trusted that.

She'd busied herself making friends since her arrival just 10 days ago, getting to the others who were stuck here with her, sometimes distracting herself with a little booze or flirting or both. Her heart wasn't always in it if she thought about Mason and everything else that had happened in Spokane and forget it if she thought about Dimitri and that kiss on the training room. She wasn't sure any guy would ever measure up. Still, the flirting was fun and she'd made some pretty good friends, already. Now that they were here on this planet, trying to figure out a way to help was another good distraction. If there was one thing Rose knew how to do, it was fight, even if she didn't have her natural abilities at the moment.

Tonight, though, wasn't about the war or fighting tonight was a night to kick back and chill and have a little fun. Like she'd told Jaina, they were going to pretend to be normal kids for a few hours. They were going to forget about their problems. It wasn't like this war wouldn't still be here tomorrow.

Rose was moving around the room with a drink in her hand, sometimes pausing to say hi to someone she recognized or introduce herself to someone she didn't and sometimes standing back and observing the others. Right now, she was doing the latter. It was good to see people laughing and having a good time.
