This is going to require a lot of cake. (Midnight Sons)
Shelly was curious by nature. It had gotten her into a ton of trouble as a kid especially when she turned her curiosity on her little brother, Dante. Jericho had sent them both to pocket dimensions for time out and that should have broken her of her curiousness, but it hadn't. Instead it taught her to be more stealthy about it which was why when she unleashed the ritual to sniff out Matt's birthday she expected a nice quiet result that she could then take to do gleefully naughty things with. What she got was far different.

"You have got to be kidding me." The ritual results ended up telling her the birthdays of everyone she'd been in close proximity to (save for her patients, she had a ward for that.) Greg, Michelle, and Matt were all Halloween babies. She actually facepalmed.

"Okay. Fine. Three birthdays. Three cakes. Then we all go to Mac's." She'd have to find a more appropriate costume for this since it was going to be more than just Matt, but she could do that. She could pull it all off.

***

Three hours later, there were three cakes, an assortment of beers, and some light snacks (and some special things for Michelle if she needed them) spread out in the expansive dining area of Shelly's penthouse. Simultaneously, magical invitations alerted the members of the team to a pre-party at Shelly's. Now all she had to do was sit back and wait.

	Michelle was working a late shift at the bar tonight, but in the meantime, she had time for some partying. She showed up at the appointed time. "Hey," she said. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Matt arrives soon after and realizes that this is a birthday party. "So...you found out our birthdays, huh?" Matt asks, looking at Shelly, before cracking a smile. "Two can play that game. Make sure you don't have plans tomorrow." he grins. Yes, he'd gone about finding out her birthday the same way she'd done his. His surprise for her was already ready. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey," she said and smiled at Michelle. "Cake and beer...and I've got some other stuff if that's easier. I don't know some things. But happy birthday!" Turning her attention to Matt, her smile turned into a huge grin. "I hear it's taco night at Mac's tomorrow, actually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Michelle managed a small smile, taking care not to reveal her fangs. "Thanks," she said, and meant it. "Didn't think anybody even knew." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Greg arrived a little later. "Sorry I'm a little late," he said. "My brother's in town and we lost a little track of time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blackmagicwoman 2010-11-01 01:48 am UTC (link)
	"It's all good. There's a ton of cake, a ton of beer, and after we can go cause trouble. Happy birthday." She looked at them. "All three of you. Geez." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2010-11-01 02:29 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks," he said with a small smile. He wasn't sure how Shelly knew it was his birthday and he probably didn't want to know. "You shouldn't have gone through all the trouble." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Karen arrived not long after that. It took her a while to decide to come. She was a very good detective and knew about the birthday thing for a while. “Sorry about being late I didn’t know I had the night off until just recently.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Matt goes and gets himself a beer, then nods at Greg and Michelle. "I haven't had a birthday yet where something crazy didn't crop up before the end of the night. Here's hoping that it doesn't happen this year. I'd like one quiet evening to relax." he says. He then nods at Karen. "Glad you could make it, Lynch. Haven't seen you around much."

	"Hey, still lots of cake and beer and we don't have to go out. We could just hang out here. It's not like I have a, um, decent costume anyway." Shelly had her own beer and took a swig. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bite_me 2010-11-01 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	"I've got to work later, but I can hang for a while," Michelle said. She shrugged, on the costume thing. "Already pretty much in costume, twenty-four seven." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Been busy with the job and setting myself up with a nice workshop in my house,” Karen said. The workshop as far as she was concerned was a hunters dream. “You haven’t been around much yourself,” Lynch said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah, some stuff went down with Sorcerer Supreme. Shelly and I helped out with that. Otherwise, I've been working on a few things." Matt says, declining to elaborate further.

He'd been working with Lynch for a long time, but he still thought she deserved something of a normal life outside of all the supernatural business. He hoped that, by not telling her too much, she could have that kind of peace.

	"Something not happening would be nice," Greg said. "I don't need any more interesting birthdays." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The free trip to England was a perk." After that bullshit was over she'd dragged Matt to the first chips shop she could find and had several pints of beer. "Well, I'm hoping for quiet myself. Hence all the beer and cake. Someone should eat the cake. So I don't have to." She grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Quiet is good," Michelle agreed. She didn't add that quiet sometimes meant something big was building. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	this_fire_burns 2010-11-02 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, fine, then. I'll have some cake. Cake and beer is probably the craziest combo I've had yet." Matt says, going to cut himself a slice of cake. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2010-11-03 01:37 am UTC (link)
	"There's worse," Greg said as he wandered over to the cake. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	this_fire_burns 2010-11-04 12:51 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not sure I wanna know what's a worse combo than cake and beer. I might be tempted to try it." Matt smirks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Whether Matt liked it or not Karen was in this and she would do whatever she could to protect her city from the things that go bump in the night. She really should remind him that the more she knew the better chance she stood of being able to protect herself. “I could go for some cake and beer.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Shelly gestured to the spread in the kitchen. "Right here!" She herself was working on a beer. "Matt....do you have some sort of adrenaline addiction or something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bite_me 2010-11-04 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Beer sounds very good," Michelle agreed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	this_fire_burns 2010-11-04 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	"What kind of question is that? I have no such addiction. I, in fact, loathe confrontation in all its forms and do my utmost to be diplomatic and docile when possible." Matt says, drinking a beer to keep from laughing. It doesn't even sound truthful to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2010-11-19 03:41 am UTC (link)
	Greg helped himself to cake and beer. He didn't mind the combination. It was beer and cake. (Reply to this)(Parent)
