Party at the Nexus Stables! ((Open to everyone!))

[simply-ellie.livejournal.com]

Ellie had rushed over from work, and had been delighted to find that Mr. Dobson, Nat, and Jinian had already begun setting up for the party. The old cowboy had already fired up the grill in preparation and the girls had set out bread baskets and salads to start. There were tables with hurricane lamps set up near the house, and some additional ones down by the pond. And with clear skies, it was going to be perfect for stargazing even if you never left the table.

Several of the horses were frolicking in the paddock, and she wondered if any of their guests might like to go riding. She was definitely game, and had decided to try riding Bucky this evening. He was a beautiful Palomino, but also quite mischievous too. She was still getting to know the horses and Mr. Dobson had helped her choose which horses would be best to introduce to their guests.

While she waited for Michael and the others to arrive, she climbed up onto the fence of the paddock and watched the horses play.

((Thanks for playing with them! Simon-mun and Ellie-mun need sleep, and will be back to keep playing tomorrow if y'all like!Back!))

Donna is dropping by to see what's what, fairly cheerful.

[simply-ellie.livejournal.com]

Ellie waves to Donna! "Thank you for coming over!"

[sixtyonereasons.livejournal.com]

Donna beams! "Hey."

[simply-ellie.livejournal.com]

"How's everything been going?" Ellie hopes to try to talk Donna into riding this evening!

[sixtyonereasons.livejournal.com]

"Oh, pretty okay. I've been up to no good."

[simply-ellie.livejournal.com]

"Oh?" She gives Donna a wicked grin. "What did you do?"

[master_simon]

"Wonderful to see you, Donna!" He smiles and gestures at the well-laden tables with a variety of foods. "Feel free to grab some dinner with us."

[sixtyonereasons.livejournal.com]

"I don't know how long I'm gonna stay -- I have to bug people about stuff -- but maybe!"

[master_simon]

"You could always kidnap them, drag them here, and then have the added advantage of being able to back them into a haystack if they don't see things your way." He winks.

[sixtyonereasons.livejournal.com]

"...you know, that's a brilliant idea." This is an evil grin.

Nathan has gone with Donna! Because really. No one who knows her trusts her to stay out of trouble at a party of any sort on her own.

[sixtyonereasons.livejournal.com]

Donna is pretending that he is not there to keep her out of trouble.

[nosnackforyou.livejournal.com]

He is not suprised by this. Luckly, Nathan knows how to make it look like he isn't!

[simply-ellie.livejournal.com]

Ellie waves! "Hi!"

[nosnackforyou.livejournal.com]

ACK! Strage, happy....blonde woman. Waving!

...What? Why?

Let it be known Nathan is used to dealing with alien women. Except not. Because CLASSIFIED.

He blinks at her a little, then smiles. "Hey."

Let it also be known Nathan is IDENTICAL in every way to Donna's husband. Except the part where he isn't her husband.

"Good to see you again!" Yes, Ellie is completely fooled! "Would you like something to eat, or go riding?"

[master_simon]

Michael -- who has only heard of, and not actually met, John -- smiles at Nathan. "Hi there. I'm Dr. Anders, and this is my farm."

No, he's not going to get tired of saying that any time soon, as the huge grin testifies.

"Welcome to the party."

[nosnackforyou.livejournal.com]

Nathan suspects owning property is something to smile about. Not that he owns anything....

"Thanks." Handshake? Yes. "Nathan Sheppard."

[master_simon]

"Good to meet you. Sheppard? So you're one of Donna's in-laws?" He shakes Nathan's hand good-naturedly.

Nathan also gets a friendly wave from Jason! Cause friendly waving is what Tiggers Robins do best.

Er, and fight crime.

[nosnackforyou.livejournal.com]

Jason gets a nod! Because John Nathan does not wave.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_robin_go_boom_/]

Jason tries to be sociable and waves over at Donna as well.

[sixtyonereasons.livejournal.com]

Donna waves back! "Hi, I don't think we've met...?" Or if they have, she's forgotten. She's good that way.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_robin_go_boom_/]

Jason laughs, shakes his head.

"Nah, sorry - I don't think we have either. I just go by 'Robin' in the Nexus. Y'know, like the fifty other guys with a fetish for red and yellow. Nice to meetcha. You're friends of Mike 'n Ellie?"

[sixtyonereasons.livejournal.com]

"I am...my babysitter here hasn't met them yet." She nods towards Nathan, amused. "I'm Donna Sheppard-Crane."
