Runs into City Hall in a robe and her cup of coffee after just waking up.

"Where's the party?"

Noticing that she is either too early or too late, she decides to throw her own party for the Queen of Avatars, Sleuth Chief Jester, Moderator, Sleuth Chat Supreme Emperor (ress) and All-Round Great Gal, Nikkie.

She puts up strings of Fairy Lights everywhere around Town Hall and in the canals that run around City Hall for this great occasion she places floating candles.

Putting up tables all around three sides of a great space for dancing, she leaves one side for a LONNNGGGG GREEAAATT bar where all of Sleuth's Finest Bartenders can play. She sets up a stage for entertainment and issues invites to all in Sleuth.

Happy Birthday Birthday Nikkie,

May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you.
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the rain fall soft upon your fields.

And may you be in heaven a full half hour
before the devil knows your dead.


All the best, Nikkie. You're a great person and I hope the next years are even bettter than the last.

*Is essentially a cheapass, so had a few in the closet while getting dressed just to get the ball rolling, thinks 'aww crap, I'm late as usual', and, in a hurry to join the revellers, trip over the doorstep on his way in*

Picking himself up and adjusting his awkwardly arranged bow tie, he grins and makes his way over to the throng of people watching Nikkie 'jstkdn' Van Der Slooethen get her groove on, surprised to see his Casa Blanca mentor and all-around honcho, Holly, in a swirl of heels and flaming liquor.

As if I didn't think you were awesome already...all this and you can make the clogs twinkle!

*summons a cocktail waitress, muttering something about a double Dalwhinnie for me and a triple for the birthday girl*

Happy Birthday! Your age is equal to the number of ways you rule!

*as per sleuthchat recommendations, walks up to the barkeep and asks, "So. What are you?"*

Breit and Dave sat at their small table, enjoying their drinks and a plate of hors d’oeuvres. Breit had already chatted with several colleagues she knew, and wished Nikkie a joyous, "Bon Anniversaire!!" as she had danced by.
She watched as their temporary Director, Rhiemma Moon, sailed by, scotch glass in one hand, cougar's leash in the other, as she spotted one of her associates from Shanghai. Breit was incredibly grateful that Rhie had been so willing to come help the Omega group for a few weeks. She hoped that she would be able to return to her home soon. She knew Rhie missed her friends back in China a great deal.
Dave offered her a caviar toast, and she bit into it delicately. She smiled at him, and wove her fingers through his. He continued to romance her discreetly at their table through several songs, then whispered softly in Breit's ear, "So, Beautiful, care to dance with a klutz again?" Breit's eyes widened when she looked up at him, then she glanced around nervously. He tilted her chin to face him again, letting her see his love for her in his eyes, "Trust me, Brie." She gazed at him for a moment, then nodded.
He led her out onto the dance floor and into a waltz, tucking her head against his shoulder as they swayed slowly to the music.
They'd just started a second dance when he spotted Cab at the side of the dancefloor, scowling, as he watched Della walk off towards Nikkie. "Uh oh," he murmured. Breit looked up at him, "What?" Dave frowned slightly, then nodded in Cab's direction, "Cab's not happy about something." Breit turned slightly to look at him, then looked around for Della. "Rats," she muttered, "she's got that look in her eye again." Dave's frown deepened, "What look?" Breit sighed wearily, "the one she gets when she's on-duty." She pulled out of his embrace and tugged on his arm, "C'mon."

They found Della talking with Lady Emerald Devon. "Della!" Breit exclaimed, "look who I found about to get mobbed by a whole herd of giggling rookies." She turned to their hostess and smiled brightly, "My Lady Devon, it was so wonderful of you to invite all of us to your celebration. I'd like you to meet my brother, Cabot Harrison. He and Della were just wed recently." Cabot bowed slightly, "My Lady." Lady Emerald blushed at that. "This is a wonderful party you've put together," he said, wrapping his arm around Della's shoulder. Dell looked up at him as she spoke to Lady Emerald, "And I was just making our apologies, Darling, that we will have to be leaving so soon, what with all the cases we have piled up..." Lady Emerald looked surprised at that, "You're not going to miss the cake, are you?" Breit shook her head at that, "Oh never, Lady Devon. Besides, tonight's a night for relaxing. We'll deal with work tomorrow." She sent Della a significant 'won't-we-or-else' look, then smiled as Dave came up to them. "Have you met my husband, David Adams, Lady Devon?"

Cab nodded at Dave and Breit as they came up to him from the dancefloor. Breit smiled cheerfully at him and kissed his cheek lightly, "Having a good time, Handsome?" He smiled slightly at her, then saw the concern in her eyes. He looked over at Della again and sighed heavily. He nodded in her direction, "She's worried that you all are so far behind because we just got back from the Orient and London. I tried to convince her to stay for a little while and enjoy herself, but she's bound and determined to head back and get to work." Breit turned and looked for Della amongst the crowd, "No, no, no. I did NOT get dressed up for this soiree just to have to go back to work again." She turned back and kissed Dave's cheek, smiling gently at him, "Sweetheart, would you get me another glass of Sauternes, please?" She laughed at Dave's wary expression, then took Cab's hand, "C'mon, Bro, let's go find your workaholic bride."

Dave kissed the back of her hand in introduction, a twinkle in his eye at her blush, "Enchantez, My Lady." "And you, Sir," she replied.
Just then, the crowd began cheering as several waiters carried out an enormous lavishly decorated cake with sparkling candles atop it and placed it on the long buffet table. The cake was inscribed with an intricate, "Happy Birthday Nikkie!" As Nikkie came up to blow them out, the Sleuth community broke into a boisterous chorus of, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NIKKIE!!!"

Rhie watched as the birthday girl blew out her candles and made her wish. It warmed her heart to see so many well-wishers getting together. 'This is what community is all about,' she thought as she sipped on her drink. 'Long time residents mingling with the new, rival agencies mingling and discussing strategies or just bsing. It's been a really great night.'
This party reminded her of just how many people had come into her life and changed it for the better with nothing more than a kind word or timely piece of advice. People who had taken the time to talk to a raw newbie and those who had become close friends during the time she had been here had made a great impact on her life. 'Gads,' she thought, 'I'm getting maudlin! A few too may scotch and sodas, Rhie.'

The party was breaking up in the wee hours of the morning. Rhie finished her drink with a silent toast to Nikkie and her accomplishments as well as her birthday and decided to wander out with some of the last of those to go.

LilRach slides into the room, realizing she is very late.

"Stupid murderers, caused me to be late to yet another party. Sorry I'm late Nikkie, happy birthday!"

She quickly drops a new bottle of Jack on the present table and looks around to see who is all here...
