Birthday Party!

[blitz_acing]

Who: Everyone!
When: Tuesday, starts out in the evening and lasts until late at night.
Where: The Island, at the beach.
Style: Whichever!
Status: OPEN

[Tidus had planned on throwing Roxas' party on his actual birthday. Then, stuff happened. Then other stuff. Now, finally, Roxas' very late "surprise" birthday party is being thrown. Telling Roxas that he just wants to hang out on the Island, everyone else is informed of the party before they get there.

As characters approach, there's a banner hanging that says: HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY ROXAS. Glowsticks decorate the area where the party is taking place. There's enough for anyone to take some and use them if they want! Some catchy, danceable music plays in the background, and to the side is the table with (alcohol free for the time being) refreshments and snacks, Roxas' sea-salt ice cream cake still in a cooler until later. On the opposite side, is a table for birthday presents, which will can be opened anytime Roxas wants. Since the weather is decent, a projector has been set up on the beach to play an action adventure, fishpun-free movie later.

Games will go on during the party too, including sardines (which will take place more inland), pictionary and anything else anyone might think of. In case anyone wanted to play sports, there are also a few balls lying around, along with the closest thing Tidus could find to struggling bats.

So have fun and wish Roxas a belated happy birthday!]

[ooc: I'll post a heading for each section, feel free to tag around!]

[Hm...how does one wrap up a small planet as a birthday present anyway? Oh well, she'll just have a bow at the top and go with that. That still counts right?]

[coolerthansora]

[Well, not much unwrapping to do here. Roxas turns it over in his hands curiously. It's like a little world?]

[shirleyhopeful]

[...plant, not planet. But it still counts as a little world]

I wasn't sure how to wrap it but I think a bow is good enough right?

lol woops

[coolerthansora]

[Oh well he probably didn't turn it upside down then. ANYWAY.]

I don't think the wrapping is the important part.

Is this- to do with that festival?

8D

[shirleyhopeful]

Mhmm, it does!

Once a year, you write all your hopes and wishes on a piece of leaf and then you retie it a tree. From there, the wind will blow it away and hope that whatever you wished for will come true!

[coolerthansora]

Oh...

I guess you have to write really small.

[shirleyhopeful]

Depending on how big the leaves are...but if they are really small, I can always try to find another one where the leaves are bigger.

[coolerthansora]

It'll get bigger, right?

What kind of plant is it? Do I need to water it every day?

[shirleyhopeful]

Uh... [To be honest, Shirley didn't think about what type of plant it was. She gotten whatever looked the best. However, she did remember the store owner telling her something else]

Yes, I'm pretty sure it will! I'm not too sure how long you'll need to water it but I think you water it once everyday

[...Yeah, she probably heard right...right?]

[coolerthansora]

[Good enough for him.

...hopefully he won't overwater it or something.]

Okay. I'll take good care of it.

[shirleyhopeful]

You better...

Or else!

[coolerthansora]

Or else?

[shirleyhopeful]

Or else.

[/trolling]

[coolerthansora]

[If this were Axel, he'd be sure of that. But he just kind of eyes Shirley uncertainly.]

Um... I'll do my best.

[shirleyhopeful]

But don't worry, I'm sure you'll do fine.

I don't think watering this plant isn't that difficult, just be sure to give it a lot of love and everything will be fine!

[coolerthansora]

Love...?

[shirleyhopeful]

Mhmm, you need a lot of love for it if you want to take care of it!

You think you can do that? I'll be really sad if anything happens to it!

[coolerthansora]

[Giving a plant love when you have no heart... No, no he can totally do this.]

Y-yeah! I can handle that.

[shirleyhopeful]

[If only she knew]

I'll be sure to check it out!

In the meantime, how are you enjoying the party? This is your first birthday here right? Do you like it so far?

[coolerthansora]

It's- my first birthday ever.

...I think it's really great.

[shirleyhopeful]

[...huh]

You never had a birthday back home before? What about having one with your brother or...you just never celebrated it?

That seems a little...odd.

[coolerthansora]

I didn't know Sora before, and- I never really thought about birthdays.

...I guess it is kind of odd.

[shirleyhopeful]

If I had known it was your first birthday here, I would have given you a bigger present other than a plant! [Maybe a small planet would work]

Hm...now I have to give you another one...

[coolerthansora]

W-what? You don't have to do that.

[shirleyhopeful]

But I want to!

Hm, let's see, I wonder what else I could get outside a plant. Oh, how about I bake you something instead since it's on such short notice! I think that might be better!
