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!]

...I think it's about balance.

If all you have is darkness, then- you wind up with a lot of anger. But, if all you have is light... I think you're missing something then, too.

[There was a pause. Shirley mumbled to herself as she thought about said balance. It seems that there are still some things she would much rather run away from. She has accepted her faults but she still has some trouble about the idea of being surrounded by darkness.

But he was right. She let out a giggle]

It seems that there are still many things that I have to learn about! You're a lot stronger than I am!

[coolerthansora]

Stronger?

What makes you say that?

[shirleyhopeful]

...

Because it seems like I still have some things to work out. You're right, having a balance between light and darkness is a good thing but...I think it might take some time for me to overcome my own darkness...

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas shakes his head.]

There's still a lot I'm figuring out, too. I don't think I'm any better off than you.

[shirleyhopeful]

Then it looks like we still have a lot of learning to do!

[giggle]

Just...one step at a time for my sister and Senel's sake too!

[coolerthansora]

[One step at a time. Sounds about right.]

Well-

Today I'm learning about birthdays.

[shirleyhopeful]

Have you thought about what wish you want to come true?

If you already have, I hope that it does! I'll be sure to help you make it come true!

[coolerthansora]

I think so.

But I'm not supposed to tell, right?

[shirleyhopeful]

Yes, you're right!

I guess I forgot about that, how silly of me! But I guess I'll just have to help out either way!

[coolerthansora]

You're the one who told me about making a wish, so- you already helped.
