xp_tarot | Eurovision party invitations

You have all been given one. Yes, all of you, this year's theme is diversity and inclusion. For those of you who threw out the invitation because it was full of glitter, feathers and confetti, the party will be held in the East Ballroom, I have enlisted the resident technology experts to setup the projector screen and speakers.

I have acquired many sofas, and also a disco floor.

We will pause while Ms. Lincoln-Lopez or Mr. Quire object to the lack of x-gene diversity in their own unique fashion. (We will agree, it is tragic. Then we will open bets on which performers, like our own Ms. Blaire, are closeted mutants.)

Dress is informal, but please do attempt to Eurovision it up. A betting pool has been established on which country comes the closest in costume to matching Clarice's outfit for this year.

However, the party is a tradition. Once again, I have enlisted caterers rather than subject you to my limited kitchen repertoire.

For those of you who are not yet 21 and care about the legalities of such, there will be an assortment of drinks. For those of you who are already 21, or who do not care about the American laws and believe they can avoid being caught by those guests who do...

Does this mean I get to come and then fall asleep on people through no fault of my own?

I promise to look adorable while doing it.

I protest this type casting.

What is Eurovision?

I thought you were from tumblr. Tumblr loves Eurovision.

Then you should be less predictable.

If we happen to be handy in the kitchen can we bring something we made to share?

Yes. If you let me know what it is within 24 hours of the party (which is the 13th for those of you who threw out your lovely invitations!) then I will let the caterers know and they will provide extra plates and serving trays and utensils.

Just cookies or brownies or something. I think I just talked myself into brownies. Brownies. It'll be brownies.

(Our invitations are hanging on the fridge. We want to keep them forever)

There are so many things wrong with the hate crime that is Eurovision that the exclusion of mutants barely registers.

Remarkably on brand.

Thank you for that insightful look into my psyche.

So sparkly and pretty!

I'll drag the inhabitants of my lab up for some fun. I'm not great with the whole cooking thing alas.

That is why caterers exist and why I have hired some.

Opening that invitation was like

This is why you're my favourite. I have so many comments. So many.

Lorna, Sue, you need to step up your game.

So many comments, so few of them for polite company? But seriously, everything in my room is covered in glitter. I'm going to be finding glitter in weird places for the rest of time.

This is accurate.

I loved it, but I think I swallowed some of the glitter.

I'll bring edibles. We can hide them from Quire.

and also a disco floor.

I remember being in Studio 54 and a young man screaming at me that disco will never die.

... who knew that a tank full of whippits could cause precognition?

I have never done whippits. I do not know what effect they would have. It seems unnecessary, as I already have so many successful drugs that seem more fun.

Well, you're not pushing fifty, which puts you firmly outside of the whippits era.

You are too classy to have ever done whippits.

No, I'm too old to have done whippits. By the time they were popular, I had booze and coke available.

See. I pay attention when you talk.

Especially when I mention booze and coke.

Look, even I didn't do whippets.

But was it a question of taste or access?

Access? Come on.

Lots of people showing up to your bar with cans of whipped cream in their duffles?

Uh, I was a teenager once, you will recall. Not like they were that hard to come by.

Seeing as I haven't seen you pass by a temptation, I suspect that your youthful years either involved them or something much stronger and more satisfying.
