We Only Have Tomorrow

[employeeoftheyear]

[True to his word, on 6pm Thursday Spongebob has the party at the library set up and ready to go! It's filled with cute handmade decorations, snacks, and cobbled together games! Even with all the help he accepted, it's very clear that this was a passion project for Spongebob.

Taped around the library is a set of rules, and frankly there were a Lot of rule fliers around the library.]

RULES
1. Bring your own food and games! The more fun the better!
2. Stay as long as you want! We can make it a sleepover!
3. ABSOLUTELY NO MURDERING
4. Have fun! 💗💗💗💗💗

[Luckily for those who are aware of the cartoon, the party doesn't seem nearly as micromanaged as it could have been mostly because this party is more in a desperate attempt to keep everyone alive than anything else so have as much fun as you can before tomorrow!]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Sure is. I've taken pretty good care of it.

[This one, at least.]

A sword specifically for dueling. [She whistles low, respectfully.] I'd love to see that thing in action someday.

[mayavericks]

Perhaps we can arrange a sparring session? I am not sure what we would do in the way of adequate protection but...

I could use a challenge.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

You versus me?

[Oh, honey. You are speaking her language.]

If you name the time and the place, I'll be there bright and early.

[mayavericks]

Tomorrow morning? We can meet in the gym.

[Nothing bad will happen in the gym on Friday, right?]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Nothing bad ever happens on a Friday!]

Tomorrow, then. It's a date.

[...]

Not a... We're fighting. That's what I mean.

[mayavericks]

[Maya is... actually startled by that. Her eyes go a little wide, and her lips part for all of two seconds, before she smooths her expression over.
She can't do much about the blush, though.]

Ah, of course. We're fighting. I look forward to it.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Right. Just fighting.

[Uggggh she's blushing, and now Cassandra's face feels like it's growing hot. Aaaaaaaa.]

Really. [A small shake of her head.] I'm not trying to flirt, I promise.

[mayavericks]

I imagine I am far too young for you.

[Maya shrugs, almost playful.]

A shame, but understandable. I will recover somehow.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

You've got that right. I had enough of that dealing with a crush from mister "not a wizard" over there.

[Not-so-secretly jerking a thumb in the direction of the school's favorite alchemy boy.]

Don't worry. I'm sure you'll do just fine. There's plenty of other swordfighters out there, just waiting to be fought.

[mayavericks]

[Maya glances in the direction of Varian and lifts a brow. There's clearly some amusement going on in her eyes.]

Varian? Really?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Yup. He's a good kid, just... really bad at reading people sometimes.

[mayavericks]

As in... Reading the fact that their interests lie with a completely separate gender?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Just a straight heh nod.]

...It's not something I really talk about, but... this place is different.

[mayavericks]

Naturally. [She gets it. She's spoken to Americans before.]

I will admit, it's strange to hear of those who feel as if they cannot be open about this, considering where I come from. But I understand. I won't mention it to anyone.
