Anniversary Party - Open RP

[head_psychic]

Shawn has taken care of absolutely everything. There are flowers and drinks and different types of music. There is food and loads of pineapples. All that stuff that either shouldn't break or demands too much space is simply out of the way and it actually looks very different if you know what it looks like originally.

Still, the pin-ball machine is at the same spot and with all the furniture out of the way or rearranged it's a really comfy place. He has borrowed a couch from a neighbour, who, in return, is of course invited and built some kind of lounge.

Additionally, it is a nice day, which is why the place in front of the psych office is open to hang out as well, with some self service BBQ ("Dad, it's really nice you let me borrow the grill. Hey, why... don't you just stay here and make sure nothing burns down? And be nice to the guests!" - "Shawn! I won't... Shawn!!"), more drinks and the easy Californian warmth cheering up mournful spirits. That and the beach directly in front of you.

Playing idly with the ring on his finger Shawn takes one last look around, a satisfied grin on his face. His prior job as an event planner came in quite handy while setting all of this up. Not only has he still got all the contacts, it also made organizing a pretty easy job. It's all about knowing what you have to do. Then it's actually not work anymore.

(ooc: Open for as long people want to play. Bendy time is love!)

"I know, I know, I don't get out much." Gus laughs at himself, but smiles at Anna. "But since he does enough socializing for the both of us, I usually don't mind. I'm happy to get the chance to meet you in person though." Gus shakes her hand.

"Next time we go to New York, we'll have to meet up somewhere."

"Pleasure's all mine, boys. I'm sorry if I dropped in uninvited, I was just taking a stroll on the beach and I saw this very disgruntled looking man outside your office. Well the music and curiosity drew me in." She chuckled.

"Well I'd be more than happy to show you two lovebirds around my city. Excuse me for just a moment..." She held up a finger and pulled on her t-shirt, pulling her long hair out of the collar. "Much better."

"Ah yes, that'd be Henry. I'd say he's more bark than bite, but that's really a lie." Gus grins. "Besides I'm pretty sure Shawn would've invited the world as a whole, if he could've convinced hallmark to make a card big enough."

Gus can't help but make a face at the lovebird comment. "Please tell me we don't look that bad." He casts a glance at Shawn. "Okay, tell me I don't look that bad at least."

She looked back at the door curiously, canting her head slightly. "He was a cop?"

Anna looked back at Gus and caught the look, raising a brow curiously. "Oh no of course not. I was just teasing."

Gus nods in affirmation to Henry's direction. "Probably best not to go into that though."

Quickly Gus seeks to clearify. "Nonono.. I'm just not big on the whole public display thing. I think that's why this party was such a big deal, in part." and now I sound like an idiot. Gus fidgets with his ring and then looks up at Anna. "I'm learning to take people's opinions less seriously, but..." He shrugs, and hopes to God that covered any slip up he just did.

She looked amused. "You're used to working with Shawn if my deduction about Mr. Spencer didn't surprise you."

"And don't worry, I understand what you mean."

"I didn't think it had anything to do with deduction, to tell you the truth. About 90% of the people I spend my time with are all cops, ex-cops, or have been trained by cops..." Gus clears his throat. "I try not to think about it too much."

Because then Gus starts to think uncomfortable things like how he's in way over his head, playing this game with Shawn.

"Oh, and thanks." Gus smiles again.

She chuckled and took a drink of her punch, shifting on her feet to observe the crowd - a habit of hers; she always made sure she knew where every exit was located and who was in the room. "What do you do for a living, Gus?"

Gus blinks. There's actually someone here who hasn't heard his two jobs speech? This throws Gus off for a second, because it's usually among the first things he ever tells people. "Actually, Shawn and I work together."

"So you help with the detective work?" She smiled. "I think that's great."
