Who: can_do_idol, thisisfriller, top_secret_idol, sleepyidol, tsundere_idol, backinthehole, 10yen_idol, shieldofjustice, swordofimpulse, restardom, and anyone else who wants to stop by!
Where: Goldenrod Inn
When: October 10th, around 5 PM
Summary: Hibiki's celebrating her birthday...by cooking for everyone else! It's time for Okinawan food, and Athrun is footing the bill!
Rating: This shouldn't be more than PG unless Makoto stabs someone.
Log:
It only came once a year, she was told. Hibiki wasn't so sure anymore, though. It definitely hadn't been more than a year since her last birthday. Still, October 10th was October 10th, and in Johto celebrating seemed even more important. Even if Haruka and the Producer weren't there, it was still a rare chance to get everyone together for a feast. There's so much to be done, though!

COOKING

[nankurunaizer.livejournal.com]

[This is for those who want to bother Hibiki before it's time to eat. She's hard at work in the kitchen, cooking at FULL POWER. She's using a variety of strange ingredients, too. There's bitter vegetables, tofu, green papaya, salsa, ground beef, fish cake, pig's ear, umibudo, soya beans...she's really got quite the collection, thanks to Athrun.]

Do you require assistance?

[nankurunaizer.livejournal.com]

Can ya pass me the the lettuce, gero?

[top-secret-idol.livejournal.com]

[Hibiki has acquired one Lettuce]

[nankurunaizer.livejournal.com]

Yes! This is gonna make for some great...w-well, I shouldn't spoil it for you, but this is a great dish!

[And watch her chop the lettuce with fury, gero!]

MINGLING / DINNER

[nankurunaizer.livejournal.com]

[Ready for conversation and to eat? Everything's done! There's taco rice, champloo, stir-fry, tofuyo, umibudo, Okinawan soba, and smoothies (not Okinawan, Hibiki just wanted to play with fruit!). There's more than enough for everyone, and it's all very well-cooked.

Just watch out for the Mimiga. It's pork ear with a peanut covering. Very crunchy and delicious, but surprising to anyone who doesn't know what it is!]

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

[Athrun goes around and collects a bit of everything. After all, he's the one who paid for it all, so he might as well sample everything. He then sits down at a table, ready to eat.]

[Shinn doesn't really do partying very well, so he's just chilling in the corner and eating quietly.

Food's good, though.]

[nankurunaizer.livejournal.com]

[But that only makes it easier for Hibiki to come and sit next to him! She hasn't seen him in a while, after all! So she'll bring a plate and sit down.]

Are you havin' fun, Shinn-kun?

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

[He turned to her and gave her a smile.]

Yeah, 's been a while since I've been to a party.

[backinthehole.livejournal.com]

*Is oh-so-subtly hangin' back from the guys as she enjoys the food; aaah, Hibiki's outdone herself! She's lookin' perhaps a touch tired, but cheerful nonetheless*

[10yen_idol]

[This is the face]

[of someone who is in nothing less]

[than gastronomical heaven as she patrols the front line of the tables, eating ALL THE THINGS]

[nankurunaizer.livejournal.com]

So, how is it Yayoi? Is it as good as ya remember? I bet it's been a while since you've had this much all at once!

[10yen_idol]

Hibiki! It's... it's...

[She spins on Hibiki. There are stars in her eyes. And also a few tears.]

I-It's even BETTER than I remembered!! Your cooking's so good~!

PRESENTS

[nankurunaizer.livejournal.com]

[There's a table for them, but if you want to be more direct, there's always giving it to Hibiki directly!]

[backinthehole.livejournal.com]

*Has totally left a cute, immaculately-wrapped little box on the table; it contains a sampler of fine teas Yukiho found in Goldenrod. TEA IS IMPORTANT. :|b*

[nankurunaizer.livejournal.com]

[Does Yukiho think she's going to get away with being shy? After opening it, Hibiki tracks her down, whether she be eating or mingling or back in the room.]

Yukiho-chan!

[backinthehole.livejournal.com]

*Eating, eating~*

Ah, Hibiki-chan! This is delicious!

[thisisfriller.livejournal.com]

Hey, Hibiki! C'mere for a second.

[ MAKOTO IS ALWAYS DIRECT. ]

[Takane has left an elegantly wrapped package that contains a Poochyena costume for people about Hibiki's size.]

KARAOKE / WINDING DOWN

[nankurunaizer.livejournal.com]

[This is a party for idols. Of course, there's going to be singing! Sing a song and show off! It's time to drink, eat ice cream, and sing our hearts out!]

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

[Well, once the karaoke started, Athrun took to the opposite end of the room. It's not that he doesn't like the singing; it's just that he's not about to get caught up there himself.]

[Right Behind You. This is getting habit forming]

[top-secret-idol.livejournal.com]

Do you not wish to sing, Sir Athrun?

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

[Athrun jumped a tiny bit when Takane spoke. He thought he'd heard something...

But enough of that. He whipped around to face Takane.]

Huh? Um.

Not...really?

[top-secret-idol.livejournal.com]

This is a party of a dear friend of mine. It would not do for you to not participate, I feel.

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

Whoa. Hey. Wait a second. Let's not...jump to any hasty conclusions here. I've been enjoying myself, and I think the others have been enjoying my presence already.

[top-secret-idol.livejournal.com]

Sir Athrun, we are idols. Our voices are our souls, and we are sharing it here unapologetically. Is it so wrong to ask that you share with us what we give you so freely?

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

I...I...

I can't sing.

[top-secret-idol.livejournal.com]

Sir Athrun, such an attitude is unbecoming. Singing is as natural to man as breathing, and music is the language of the universe. There are none that "cannot" sing, only those who "will not" sing.

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

No, believe me! You do not want to hear me attempt to sing. I'm terrible at it.

[nankurunaizer.livejournal.com]

[Of course, Hibiki is going to sing! Her song, one they've all practice before, is The World is All One (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbOjdOr2DKU). Since everyone knows it, they can join in, or just listen!]
