[Filtered from Billy.]

So, happy new year and all that aside, the holidays weren't exactly all that pleasant for everyone involved. But I say better late than never, right?

[Kate raises her eyebrows and grins earnestly. Her eyes then dart downward for a second to double check the filtering levels set. What good is a belated holiday gift if the recipient knows about it?]

Now that things have returned to normal - or whatever most closely passes for normal around here - I think we should continue the trend of ringing in the New Year's with some epic parties. Like a Hannukah party. Because who doesn't like gambling and a little bit of fire?

Seriously though, guys. We got a semi-decent Christmas day... eve, anyway. But the Jabberwocky ate Billy on the first night of Hannukah and he never got his celebration. I can't think of a better gift to get him for the holidays.

Is there anyone Jewish here - that isn't Billy and won't mention this to him on pain of some kind of horrible payback - that can help with that planning? Mrs. Kaplan usually invited us all over the past few years, but it's been a while. And getting Billy involved defeats the purpose of all of this.

I know there's latkes, menorahs, and dreidels but what else? I want this to be a celebration he won't forget.

[She frowns. It's a new year even though it hasn't really been a full year of her life. Still, it's safe enough to say that it's been a long one filled with enough trouble and heartache for all of the Young Avengers, Billy especially. Arriving here hasn't made anything easier.

Some more celebration, some more good memories over the bad sounds almost seems like a necessity.]


So, I'm thinking sometime soon. Everyone's invited so long as you promise to leave any consideration of weapons or insanity in your room.

Anyone have a preference?

I'm not really Jewish per se, but I guess I'm familiar enough? I mean, my girlfriend is, and we've been together for- oh. Years and years.

[Maxine's smiling to herself, warm and faint, even thinking of Paula.]

You have to remember the, oh, what're they called- [She snaps her fingers a few times, trying to spark her memory.] Sufganiyot? Jelly doughnuts, basically. Paczki.

I, uh, watched her aunt make them, mostly. While we all drank wine.

[Ahehheh. Oops.]

It can't be that hard though, right?

Tony always did birthdays and Christmas, so we had something.

[ He wasn't totally kept out of the loop. ]

It was just the straight American holidays we didn't celebrate.

[ HE takes a minute to frown and counts them off on his casted arm's fingers. ]

Easter, Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving. We never celebrated them.

[ Since Thanksgiving he's been doing a bit of reading. ]

Hallmark store?

[ That's one reference that he doesn't get. ]

Tony celebrated the big ones: Our birthdays and Christmas. Holidays just didn't really matter.

I am so down for a party.

...All I know is something about potato pancakes, though. I mean, about Hanukkah.

Oh man, wait, they don't work like that? I mean they'll give you potato pancakes though, right?

Uh--new here, my bad.

Soak the foam in vodka and set it on fire, it'll totally still work.

[ Calista i'm pretty sure this is not helping or what she cares about... ]

It's good of you to consider your friend's religious leanings as opposed to the general consensus. Not many would. At least, not to any extent beyond appropriate greeting cards.

This is the best idea! Count me in and if you need help setting things up I've brushed up on Hannukah traditions. Also, I'll distract Billy the day of if needed. I'm good at that.
