[River is in the Freyr Welcome Hall and she is surrounded by cake. There are lines of cakes on tables and drinks set up. It is obviously intended to be a bit of a party.]

We have cake and drinks and music. We have a reason to celebrate being alive. We have the ability to dance on our feet and revel in each other.

Whoever you are, whatever you've done to survive, come by. Celebrate that you're still standing for a while.

"Congratulations, we aren't dead." [Owen can't help but raise an eyebrow at that.]

I suppose there could be worse things to celebrate.

[She just grins and nods, taking a bite of cake she had set aside for herself.]

[He pauses, then sighs.]

If I may ask, what type of cake is that?

[dishonouring]

Do you think that wise?

[littlesoul]

Risk happens no matter what.

[The most unsure of looks]

Is it normally customary to celebrate evading death in this place?

[This comes from the man who voted to smash all the mirrors]

[littlesoul]

[She smiles a little] No. Though maybe it should be.

What are you celebrating, Miss River?

[littlesoul]

The fact that you are still here, Miss Alice.

[ much later in the evening there will be a voice singing low and sad outside the hall. Someone new has found their way to their new home, even if they don't sound particularly happy about it. Still, you are having a party, and you sound happy, and he won't intrude on that. He will, however, change his song, to something lighter and gentler. ]

[littlesoul]

[River hears the music and is intrigued. She brings a fresh piece of cake with her and wanders outside, hoping to catch where the music might be coming from. She'll smile if she does, offering out the cake as a welcome.]

[becauseichooseto]

Do we indeed? I shall be right down.

[He is down a few moments.] Well, this is very festive.

[littlesoul]

[She smiles, welcoming him with a piece of cake.] Thought maybe we could use it. Something happy while we had the chance.

[realmenknitplushies]

[Wait a second. Isn't that-]

...When d'you put that stuff out there?

[littlesoul]

Not that long ago.

[heorot]

A feast? This might be the best idea I've seen-

Where is this party?

[littlesoul]

Freyr Welcome Hall.

Anyone's welcome to come.

[Eight just wanders in, rather than responding. He isn't in much of a partying mood, but he's here for River's benefit, since the girl was so kind to him when his family had been taken from him.

When last she saw him, he was a wild-eyed, panicking wreck, but this time doesn't hold many smiles for him either. Secrets had been let loose in the mirror version of the city, and now Charley isn't speaking to him. Out of the fire, back into the frying pan.]

That's quite a collection of cakes you have there, River.

[His smile is small, but warm and genuine.]

[littlesoul]

[And his presence earns him a bright smile rom her, even though he doesn't look to be in the partying mood.]

You came. Thank you.

[She offers him a piece of cake and gestures to a quiet corner of the hall for them to talk or, if not, for the Doctor to eat and not have to mingle too much.]

Will there truly be dancing?

[littlesoul]

Defntiely.

[comeonthensexy]

Best thing to celebrate.

[video]

[littlesoul]

[She grins wide, nodding her head.] To anyone who's still standing or at least trying to, they deserve to know they are celebrated.
