BIRTHDAY BASH OF THE AGES (aka Squall's Birthday Party)

[sorcery_fledgling]

[It's the 23rd of August. And one particular Lion is turning 18 today. You know what that means.

BIRTHDAY PARTY!

It's here at last! If you're up on the island near the bay at around 8 PM, you'll see all these damn tiki lamps all over the place. There's also a huge tent set up with food set up underneath it, mainly appetizers and snacky foods. Also, drinks! No booze, although if any is brought Rinoa will tolerate it so long as it doesn't get out of hand.

The main entry on the food table are the three cakes set up, all in the shape of Griever. One is large while the other two are smaller. So there's plenty of cake to go around, thanks to Johnny!

Right next to the food tent is the battery-powered boombox which is blasting all kinds of music. There's a nice stack of CDs on the stand with it, so pick out any music you like and feel free to blare it!

And last but not least, there's a beach volleyball net set up for anyone to play, whether it's one on one or in teams. Or, really, if you just want to smack the ball around. Try not to lose it in the ocean though :(

Like Rinoa said in her post, everyone is invited. She opened it to the whole bubble for a reason. So come on by, even if you don't have a present for Squall, or even know him. Just remember to pester him and say happy birthday~ at your own peril]

((OOC: It's up! Everyone tag in! I'll be putting up threads shortly for the different sections of the party. Seriously though, don't feel intimidated if you don't know the party thrower (Rinoa) or the VIP (Squall). This is a good chance to mingle and build CR, especially for newcomers. Feel free to have them just... wander up to the island and see what all the noise is about.))

[Shaking hands with a large mouse is weird, but this is Vatheon.]

Nice to meet you.

[takesyoubytheheart]

Happy birthday! Even if yer not the guy I know... I'd still like ta be yer pal.

[unshelledbullet]

[He's always amazed by how much friendlier people were here than in Garden. Then again, Garden was made up of mostly kids and teenagers who had their own social society.]

Sure.

[Why not make friends with a talking mouse?]

[takesyoubytheheart]

Heh!

Ya known Rinoa long? The two of ya seem real close.

[Hint hint.]

[unshelledbullet]

[Dang it, he was hoping to escape that here. :T]

We come from the same world. I was hired by her.

[takesyoubytheheart]

Hm! Yanno, that's how I met a very good friend too.

[His wife, actually.]

She a good boss?

[unshelledbullet]

Not...really.

[It's not that Rinoa was bad, she was just inexperienced and naive.]

But things happened and we had to forget about her job. Technically, I'm still under contract with her.

[takesyoubytheheart]

So that's why yer here at the party, cause it was an order?

[he kids, he kids.]

[unshelledbullet]

No, she used another method.

[Rinoa isn't the type to abuse power. And that's a good thing. It's what will make her a benevolent Sorceress, the kind of person a Sorceress should be.]

[takesyoubytheheart]

She tricked ya?

[It's all in good fun.]

[unshelledbullet]

No, just plain old nagging.

[It's very often just easier to give in to her demands than to resist them!]

[takesyoubytheheart]

Ha-ha-ha! Aw, I've been there. Just can't say no after enough, huh?

[Only with Minnie out of this world could he say that and not get his butt kicked.]

[unshelledbullet]

Sometimes if you say no it gets worse.

[Rinoa possessed enough raw power to very possibly kick his butt at this point.]

[takesyoubytheheart]

Gals can be scarier than monsters.

[unshelledbullet]

You got that right.

[Between Selphie and Rinoa and Quistis...]

[takesyoubytheheart]

[Maleficent, Ursula, Larxene...]

That's why we guys gotta stick together and help each other out.

[unshelledbullet]

Help each other out how?

[He's genuinely curious: how do you fight back against the powerful force known as women?]

[takesyoubytheheart]

... Comin' up with plans how ta escape the naggin', for starters.

[Heh heh heh heh..... heh.... orz]
