This was really Annie and Summer's party, that just so happened to take place in Rey's stupidly giant apartment. Still, even while she'd been told a lot of people might be coming, Rey was a little concerned no one actually would, and then she'd have to figure out what to do with just... a ridiculous amount of alcohol and so many inflatable reindeer. And packages for this thing had been showing up daily for a week, including as late as this afternoon, and after all of this, people had better show up.

There were so many Christmas lights around the place that the apartment lights weren't even on, Summer's Jello shots were very much on display, and while there was mistletoe hanging from the ceiling, it wouldn't force you to kiss anyone. (No, no, that's the alcohol's job.) It was jolly as hell up in here, and honestly loud enough that even if you decided to skip the party you'd probably have some idea of how it went.

Also Tino showed up like ten minutes early and was just kind of hanging around.

Enjoy the night! Hopefully you wore something festive or you're gonna hear about it.

"My hands light up," Annie shared. "I'll aim away from you if I see you, but like, heads up."

A pause as she considered it, and added, "There's sparkly vampires?"

The whole superhero thing created a bit of a pop culture black hole, where Annie was from. Not a lot of call for sexy teen vampires when sexy teen superheroes were literally in every city.

"It was a book series I read when I first got here," she explained. "It was pretty ridiculous. I think the books are still in my apartment if you ever feel like reading and laughing."

"I'm a super slow reader, but I'd love that," Annie told her sincerely. "That sounds pretty dumb, but like, in an entertaining way."

"Stop by any time. Well, anytime after the sun sets," Allie corrected herself. "Vampire rules means I have to sleep once the sun rises. I can push it for an hour or two if I have to, but it's hard."

"I have so many nosy vampire questions for you," Annie admitted. "We have people with powers where I'm from, but not vampires at all."

But as with all things since she'd moved to Fandom, Annie didn't want to just rudely ask how Allie felt about garlic or something, in case that was an offensive stereotype or something she didn't know about.

Fortunately, Allie had long ago gotten over any shame about being a vampire. "That's fine. Ask away. But I have to say that where I'm from we've got vampires, and vampire zombies, but no people with powers. So I've got some questions of my own."

"And consider me an open, super-abled book," Annie told her with a broad smile. "Okay, so, like, are you...immortal, or whatever?"

Eric was apparently a thousand, after all.

"Immortal," she replied. "I mean, I can be killed, don't get me wrong. But it takes effort, especially as I get older. Of course, compared to someone like Eric, I'm only a baby. I was seventeen when I was turned and I've been a vampire for close to ten years."

"And you're seventeen forever?" Annie checked, because yeah, if she hadn't been told otherwise fairly quickly, she might've taken her for a student. (Though Annie was also notoriously bad at guessing people's ages, in general.)

A short, vaguely malnourished seventeen at that. "It was be turned, or die. It was an easy choice at that time. I wanted to live no matter what."

"My turn. Did you always know you had powers?"

"Yikes," Annie totally understated, though it was a very genuine reaction all the same. "Um, yeah - I was born super-abled. If you ask my mom, I blinded the doctor when I was born, but she likes to exaggerate, so who knows." She rolled her eyes a little, somewhere between affectionate and exasperated.

"My mom would have said I was just too stubborn to die." Allie's smile was wistful at the thought.

"So I've heard the term mutants before, but super-abled is a new way to describe powers. I guess you're from a different world then?"

"Oh yeah, I don't think anyone here is from the same place as me." Which only bummed her out when she made a Seven reference and no one got it, or when she really wanted to go to Jitter Bean. "I know Kitty's described herself as a mutant, and I think it's a little different but kinda similar - where I'm from, people like me have powers, but we're also usually pretty strong, and really tough. Like, bulletproof, I mean."

"Depending on what you have to deal with, being bulletproof might now be a bad thing," she observed. "So what do you do? Go out and stop bad guys once you get old enough?"
