Party time!
Since the calendar had turned to the month of September, Iris had been counting down the days until their birthday. She'd been planning the party since back in June. Jai normally had no problem letting her handle the party planning itself.

She had invited all of the Titans, including Pipi and Mitzi, of course. And Jon, Corinna, Traya, Cindy, Jerry, Keith, Cerdian, and Wendi, too. And Riley, because if she didn't invite him, he'd probably tag along with Dinah anyway. She also told Cait that she could bring her mom along, if she wanted to get out of the Tower, and that her parents probably wouldn't mind the company at all. Jai probably invited some people too, though the guest list was pretty much the same between the two of them.

Everything was all set up, and Iris placed the wrapped package that had Jai's gift on the table where the other gifts would go. Grinning from ear to ear, she waited for everyone to arrive.

Jon sets down not far from the house and walks the rest of the way, dropping his presents off on the table. Its not terribly personalized, but then one of his weaknesses has always been being terrible at presents. Each of them does have a gift certificate for $50 worth of new CDs, music downloads or whatever they want from the music store at the mall. Somehow it always seems to get him by as a gift.

	Jai sees Jon and grins. "Jon, what's up man? Thanks for coming tonight." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wouldn't have missed it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So, what do you make of all the crazy stuff that's been happening lately? These creatures coming out of nowhere? That leviathan thing was nuts. I've never seen anything like it." Jai says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"JON!" Iris wrapped him in a hug. "I still wish Cait would've left Pippi and I keep the Nemean lion," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jon hugs Iris back, grinning at her enthusiasm. "Lions don't make good pets, but I hear she's getting you kittens." he responds, before answering Jai. "Corrinna thinks that there must have been some kind of jailbreak of Hades. We're working on trying to figure it out, but at least one of the original Titans of myth is loose."

	"We were going to train him. It would'be work," Iris said firmly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-09-23 02:45 am UTC (link)
	"Lions are like penguins, they're best when they're not trained and living where they belong. He wouldn't be happy here. I can take you to Africa to watch lions in the wild though sometime." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dareyoutorun 2010-09-23 04:02 am UTC (link)
	"A real mythological Titan? Wow. We've got our work cut out for us if that's the case. Just let me know when you guys plan to move on this. I want to be there for sure." he says. "You hear anything from Henry lately?" Jai asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-09-23 04:05 am UTC (link)
	"Corrinna is checking on a couple things. When she returns, we're having a meeting about it. As for Henry... yes, actually. He's been called to Oa to begin his official training. So probably out of the loop for a few years, but he made the Corps." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dareyoutorun 2010-09-24 12:55 am UTC (link)
	"Well, that's cool. I know the getting in was always a goal of his, so I'm glad he did." Jai says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-09-24 01:17 am UTC (link)
	"It was. It will be quieter without him around though, but I think its for the best, and I'm happy for him getting in." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	At some point in the festivities, when Jon has a moment free, Cindy feels compelled to step up beside him. "Hi, Jon. Don't mean to interrupt anything, but I just wanted to say thanks for your previous advice. I've been working on things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-09-23 03:28 am UTC (link)
	"That's great." he replies genuinely. "I'm glad to hear things are working out for you. And you're not interrupting at all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-09-23 03:34 am UTC (link)
	"Great. Everything going okay with you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-09-23 03:39 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, the usual more or less. So more good than bad. Anything new with you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-09-23 03:42 am UTC (link)
	Cindy blushes. "Consulting the JSA had more results than I expected. Nic Hall and I -- well, shortly after she thoroughly illustrated how far I have to go with understanding fighting stuff, we started dating. So that's wonderful and school is good, so I'm even better than usual, thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-09-23 03:45 am UTC (link)
	She may be blushing, but he doesn't miss a beat. "That's great. She could definitely use someone being around her more." A thought occurs. Max Lord... right. "Have you told your parents yet?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-09-23 03:50 am UTC (link)
	She shakes her head. "I keep trying to find a good time to tell either of them, but there hasn't been, yet. They're really busy." And in other news, the sun had been rising in the east. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-09-23 03:52 am UTC (link)
	"They're your parents, they're always going to be busy, but the longer you wait, the harder its going to be. But on a related note, any big business projects you're working on?" No, he doesn't at all want to know what Max's current scheme is. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-09-23 03:54 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. I'm going to try again soon. Some long term ideas that require roping Riley and Dinah into for initial research purposes, and -- well, you've met Michael, right?" She needed to try to track him down in the midst of this party soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-09-23 03:59 am UTC (link)
	"Glad to hear you're keeping yourself busy, anyway." Though a Lord, plus blue and gold in the same plot... recipe for some kind of disaster. Bears keeping an eye on. "I haven't, no." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-09-23 04:03 am UTC (link)
	"The new Firestorm guy. He's into architecture, and I want to give him some career advice and references. Considering how well and quickly he fixed my window that he'd broken, he could really be doing a lot better for himself if he knew the right people to call and didn't get stuck fetching coffee at some regular firm, you know?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-09-23 04:08 am UTC (link)
	A Lord, blue & gold... and a transmuter. It might just be one of Jai's new toys, but he's sure, somewhere in the background, that he hears "Danger, Will Robinson, Danger." "Not a bad idea. He could do a lot of repair work very quickly if he knows his stuff well enough." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-09-23 04:25 am UTC (link)
	"That's just what I was thinking. And he'd save a lot on overhead, too. Only more immediate thing I've got to work on is some marketing stuff for two of Avia's charities. Getting certain types of people in the 'If I hang onto all this money, it starts to look impolite' mindset can be fun and easy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
