What: Tim Drake's 20th Birthday Party.
Who: Everyone who likes Tim well enough to attend his birthday, and/or anyone looking for free booze or trolling opportunities.
When: Friday the 19th.
Where: Tim & Poland's apartment; possible various bars or restaurants he gets dragged out to.

The fact that today was Tim's birthday didn't escape him, but he didn't do anything about it, either.  He hadn't reminded anyone of it, and he hadn't made any plans, though he had arranged for the New Brew to close early.  No-one had mentioned it to him, either.

That left two possibilities: either everyone had forgotten, or they were planning to surprise him.  He was doing his best to remain aggressively ignorant of which, going so far as to delay his usual review of surveillance systems.  All he had planned for the evening was some coding.  Relaxing, engaging, and unimportant enough that he could drop it if anyone had other ideas.

When he opened the door to his apartment, he did so with absolutely no expectations that he was willing to admit to himself.

"Then it's pretty much exactly wot I keep at home.

...Er, working at a bar has it's perks, you could say."

"I'm sure Feliks would insist that his is better, but really, I've got no idea."

"Booze is booze, innit? And once you're thoroughly smashed, it doesn't really matter if it's "better", does it?"

[detectivewonder]

"I don't drink much, I'm not really the person to ask."

[easy_a]

"...Clearly, we need to fix that."

[detectivewonder]

"You would be amazed how often I hear that. Rain check? I want to be a good host. And my younger brother's here."

[easy_a]

"So? It's not like either of those are that big a deal.

"But fine. If you're really just dying to be every police officer's and parent's wet dream, go right ahead. I won't infringe on your sobriety."

[detectivewonder]

"...Enjoy the party."

On that skeptical note, he heads off to greet new arrivals at the door.
