Super Bowl Party
Cindy was proud of the festivities she'd set up.

The game was projected onto one wall of the huge atrium the party was taking place in, with plenty of comfy seats facing it. It was only polite, after all.

More important was the food. Tables of chips, veggies, wings (with three different types of dressing), muffelettas (it's a New Orleans occasion this year. Thematic), and chili rolls. Cindy was especially proud of the chili rolls; there was one row marked 'Regular' and one row marked 'Queen' The latter row had a stack of pens and informed-consent waivers in front of it.

There was also a small end table full of party favors for everyone. In celebration of commerce, they were $10 gift cards, each for somewhere she thought fitting for the person the card was marked for.

Cindy likes parties.

	Jai showed up, on time, and went to mingle with the other hero kids. First of course was grabbing a drink and some snacks on the way. Speedster metabolism required it. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Annie, who had just arrived, waved when she saw Jai. "Hey, Jai!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jai smiles and waves back. "Hey Annie!" He grabbed an extra drink from the drink table he was at and walked his way over. Yes, some speedsters could walk places. "How've you been? It's been a while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've been pretty good," she said, going to give him a hug, making sure to be careful around his drinks. "How are you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He gladly gives her a hug back, a careful one though given that he's holding two drinks while doing so. "Great to hear," he smiles and offers her one of the drinks. "Doing pretty well, still got school stuff. What have you been up to since we last ran into each other?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Annie took one of the offered drinks, smiling at him. "Same. School stuff. I've been helping Dad out on a lot of cases lately. Which is cool, because I get to travel a lot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nice! So what have you been studying? And any Sherlock-style cases for you?" There's a slight blur as he disappears for a very brief moment and suddenly has a small plate of chips in his hand which he offers a bit of to her. "You know, if you wanted travel you could just ask. Free run to wherever, on the house." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No Sherlock-style cases yet," Annie said, taking some of the offered chips."But I'm hopeful." She grinned. "I'll take you up on that. Also, if you volunteer to be Watson. Comes in handy for Sherlock cases." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steven notices Jai come in, and leaves his food behind to mark his spot, and heads off to talk with him. "Hey, don't want to get into too much heavy stuff here, even if it is a celebration of capitalism. At some point though, I have a business proposal for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fastasyoucan 2013-02-03 04:22 am UTC (link)
	"Hey," he smiles when he sees Steven approach. "Nah, it wouldn't be you if you didn't have a plan or idea of some sort. So go for it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, I know my girl is the smart one. She's been a lot of help with this whole process. As for the rest, I figured that would be your answer, but had to ask officially. Mostly a formality though, yes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I should tell you some about our first project. Before I'm legally able to do so, I'll need you to sign a couple things. Likewise, just formalities. NDAs, agreement to pay you for your work, that sort of thing. Cindy would kill me if I made exceptions to the rules. I can get the papers for you in a few seconds though, if you want to discuss business more." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure, I can multitask with the best if needed and after a proposal like that putting off seeing the rest would feel like a tease. I don't want you to get on the wrong side of Cindy anytime soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Bingo, not with Cindy and Tess, my business partners, probably listening. As for the pay, legally, we have to pay you. It'll be minimum for a while, but you'll get something for the work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
