Case #17: Video

[Filtered Away From Howie]

[George clears his throat]

Friday evening, after dinner, there's to be a party in my rooms for Sergeant Howie. Anybody who'd like may come.

[George leans in toward the communicator, and stage whispers for some inexplicable reason:]

But please don't let on to him, as it's meant to be a surprise.

[Added later and hastily:]

Oh, and: I'm in 5-5.

Count me in. Do you need me to bring anything? [He doesn't really have the heart to tell you hey so Howie suspects.]

[Oh, George already knows Howie suspects. Because George told him to. That's how George rolls.]

Anything you'd like would be welcome. I don't host many parties, actually.

[batmanschmatman]

[lol George, you are so strange yet hilarious.]

I've still got some unopened ice cream from Tim's birthday party. I'd offer to bake a cake or something, but I'm sort of a disaster in the kitchen.

Do you have everything you need? [She can be brave, she can be brave.]

And I thought you told me he already knew...

Private

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I believe so, but if you'd like to bring anything by, don't hesitate to.

Yes, I told him to expect a surprise party. Why?

[George...doesn't get your point.]

Private

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I can make it there. But if you need help, I'll help before.

...it's not a surprise party if he knows about it.

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

I'll be there. You need any snacks or stuff brought?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

You could do, if you can think of anything. More is better, I'd say.

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

I don't suppose you have any idea what he likes?

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

A party, George? Really?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Yes?

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

...How popular is this party going to be?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure, actually. There wasn't time to send out proper invitations and take RSVP's.

[toldastory]

Severus and I will be there. Do you need anything bought for it? I could attempt brownies.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I'm sure that would be appreciated. I know there's ice cream coming, and the two make a fine pair.

[yourunichase]

The kitchen will fucking cover shit for this party.

[If you don't like it, you can fuck off, Barge.]

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Thank...you?

[una_persson]

I'll be there, of course.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it.

[cisskabob]

I'll be there. Anything I can do?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Is there anything you'd like to do?

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll be there. [Slater'll infect this party with his cheery spirit! Or not.]

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Mister Slater! Excellent. We'll look forward to seeing you.

...And, er, sorry again about spitting at the other team during the football game. That was uncalled for.

[No Howie Filter]

[failedcreator.livejournal.com]

You are a good man to organise such a thing. I will come to this event.

[No Howie Filter]

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure someone else would have done something if I hadn't.
