46. Party Prep

A/N - It's the Jims birthday and...

The party is kind of a big deal for everybody.

The party room is fairly new, cropping up in the way that new rooms tend to do, not that far from the main TV room. Down one side of the room there's a bunch of tables for them to set up the food, while towards one end, there's a couple more smaller tables for them to sit at. The middle of the room is bare, clearly intended to operate as a dance floor, and there's a small room off the far end where anyone who needs to get away from the music or the crowd or whatever can just sit quietly for however long they need without all the noise and the mania.

Bing, King, and Silver have spent most of the day putting up the dorkiest streamers and banners they could find because it's for the Jims! They did have helium balloons and a tank but after a couple hours, there was no helium, the balloons were all deflated and the three of them were giggling with stupid high voices while singing random songs. Yeah they've basically inhaled it all and none of them really regret it.

Bim is in charge of the food, and somehow Wilford manages to convince him to let him help, fixing a large array of snacky party foods while also placing an ahead of time order for like 12 pizzas for everybody to share. Nobody at any point questions the sheer amount of food they're preparing.

The Googles are in charge of the music and take a while to install a bitchin' sound system and picking out suitable 'party songs' as well as some incidental music to play for the necessary down time. One of the speakers blows during installation, letting out a high whining noise that causes each of the Googles, and Bing, a fair bit of pain before it dies. Still accidents happen.

Dark can't help with anything, insisting that if they're taking a day to set up this party, someone needs to actually do some work around here, but Marvin offers to distract the Jims so they don't accidentally stumble on the set up, agreeing to an interview with them, which Wilford gives them permission to film in the studio.

Their eyes get all big and dreamy when he says this and they drag Marvin to the studio. Ultimately they never get to the actual interview, a bit busy geeking out over all of Wilford's equipment and set up and just clearly having the time of their life in there. Marvin watches with a chuckle, wondering if he'll ever be able to get them out of here again.
