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.))

[...Rinoa may have gone a bit overboard in her enthusiasm. But if she has, it's not Argilla who is going to notice. Especially when Squall has just said he thinks everything's just peachy.]

Excellent.

[She's glad to hear that, considering she helped.]

In that case... happy birthday. [Though it is kind of early since the party hasn't started yet but details--!!

She is totally reaching over to a nearby table where she's not-so-carefully hidden a beautiful orange tea rose.

And she is giving it to you.]

[Oh. A flower. Serph gave him seeds, but now he's getting an actual plant. It's kind of weird - flowers are what you give to girls, right? Still, he accepts it without hesitation.]

Thank you.

[teradine]

[It's a pretty flower. Argilla is keeping one for herself, just like it, and she hardly thinks it should be limited to just girls like her.

She nods to say "you're welcome," though it's hard to tell whether he likes it or not.]

The other guests should be arriving soon.

[...She studies his expression carefully looking for a tell. But it won't bother her that much if he doesn't show one.]

[unshelledbullet]

[He puts the tea rose down carefully near the other presents he's gotten, in a place where it hopefully won't get bothered by partygoers.]

Better make sure everything is ready then.

[teradine]

[She nods. Most of the food has already been brought up, too, so there's a long table with everything Rinoa could think of. The jewel in the crown, of course, sits at the center of it all.]

Would you like to see the cake?

[Two more cakes sit at the ends, too, but they're smaller. She amends her statement:]

...Actually, there are more than one.
