That can be arranged.

And eventually Lorica (well, the bot, mostly) figures out a time that works for all the Wards, and the party has complete Ward buy-in.

"Have I told you you're the best girlfriend? Because you're the best girlfriend."

Permalink

"Because I made a robot that can organize parties?"

"Among other things, yes," they giggle. "In this case I'm just feeling fuzzy feelings that you did it and that the party is happening and stuff."

Permalink

"I'm very suggestible to fuzzy feelings when I'm around you also."

Permalink

"I have noticed that."

Permalink

Grin. "Can you blame me?"

Permalink

"No, I'm pretty awesome."

And so it is that a few days later, Jeannie is sulking in her room in a PRT medical ward when there is a knock.

    "You know I can't get off this bed, what's the point of knocking?" she calls.

So Sadde opens the door, and suddenly: balloons.

    "...what," Jeannie asks.

"Hi," says Lorica. "Glam orchestrated you a party."

"Hi are you okay?" asks Windflower anxiously.

        Willow walks in, carrying one of the cakes, and Sadde uses an imaginary plate to float in another. Glimmer's there, too, hanging back somewhat.

    Jeannie gapes, then says "YesI'mfineisthatcake?"

"Yes," Sadde giggles.

    "Oh my gosh! Gimme!" She makes grabby hands.

"Echo baked. We couldn't ask if you like chocolate without sacrificing the element of surprise so the other one's lemon poppyseed."

"I want both!" She visibly has enough broken bones that she can't reasonably go get any. She closes her laptop but doesn't push the small table in front of her aside.

Sadde conjures a knife and supervises its cake-slicing process.

"Why the party, though?"

"Well, I had been planning on throwing you a 'Rewind is awesome' party for a while now, what with half of us owing you our lives."
Permalink

"You are very awesome," agrees Lorica, dishing cakes onto plates for others as soon as Rewind has hers.

Permalink
One of the balloons autonomously scoots over to her, so she can see 'Rewind is awesome' written on it. She giggles and then forks down some chocolate cake, which causes her to pause, close her eyes and "Hmmmmm this is probably the best cake I've ever had!"

"Thanks!" grins Willow.

"Are they making you eat hospital food?" asks Sadde, and she nods, mouth too full to create an appropriate verbal answer.

"Oh, you poor thing. I can have bots bring you takeout."

Permalink

Her eyes widen and she actually tears up a bit. She swallows her cake and says, "Oh my god would you? Thank you! I'm so sorry Silica and I thought you were a robot!"

Permalink

"...You thought I was a robot?"

Permalink
Sadde cracks up, making her cake float and doubling over. Willow is infected and laughs, too, and even Annie cracks a smile.

"...uh, I shouldn't have said that, it's the meds, not really? We were just joking around to pass the time on patrol. We also discussed the possibility that everyone but us was actually created by her," she says, pointing at Sadde.
Permalink
"We were kidding," says Silica, "honest."

"All right," snorts Lorica.
Permalink
"Wait, but where did I figure in the robot Lorica scenario?" asks Sadde.

"You didn't," she admits. "That's part of the reason why we came up with everyone being made by you. First we thought maybe Transit was a really specific Tinker that made Lorica, then that you made them both, then that you made everything!"

"Glam is not secretly God," giggles Windflower.

Permalink

"I might be!" she protests.

Permalink

"If you're secretly God we're going to have words," says Lorica.
