[open] gwen's birthday bash

Who: Matt Murdock, Gwen Stacy, and anyone who knows her or just wants to party, tbh
Where: In a cute park!
What: This is a mingle log for Gwen's Birthday Party on May 29! Feel free to tag around.
Warnings: It's just a party! The youths might drink but that's none of Matt's business



[ Strictly speaking, Matt Murdock is not actually Gwen Stacy's friend. He's actually her enemy? Her archvillain? But what the Gwen who is here doesn't know can't hurt her! And Matt has always found her fascinating. So you see, you can plan a party with no ulterior motives, even for someone who got you arrested. And really, if your arch-enemy can't throw you a birthday party, who can?

Unfortunately, without his own criminal empire or Wilson Fisk's war coffers at his disposal, he has to make do with what is actually in his budget. Back in New York, he would've rented out a penthouse. Here, he has settled for a nice park with a couple of rented tables, a balloon arch (in black, white, pink, and teal no relation to spider-woman, don't worry about it), a fun little banner (it says "Hapy Birthday Gwen" instead of "Happy" did he run out of letters? did he do this on purpose? is he even aware?), some food and beverages (he's not the police), some tunes, and a cryptic message on the network Come celebrate Gwen! to tie it all together.

He's done very well, if he does say so himself! Really, it would've been way better if Jerry could have done him one tiny little solid, but it's fine. He adapted. He always does. ]

[ Matt does not understand the hero/villain bond (he hates Fisk to the end of the Earth and would rather he rot behind bars forever,) but he does understand the "there's a teen child who has gone through some shit and I want to protect them" thing, so he won't pry or call out Murdock on his weirdness. ]

I believe you.

[ Plus, dammit, if Murdock can care about people then he really isn't totally evil. Which, of course, Matt knows deep down, but it's just. Frustrating. Kinda makes Matt wanna punch him but like just in an aggressive way, not to hurt him. How could you do this? Nah, those are thoughts for later. It's fine. ]

I should go say hi. I don't think we've actually met.

[ Extremely rude, like you don't also consider violence a form of foreplay at times, Matthew. ]

Sure.

[ He'll find you yet, Murdock........ This isn't over!!! (It's over for now, though.) ]
