Who: EVERYONE who wants to participate!
Where: Violet City
When: Dec 1st, 3rd, 4th. Basically, four days of parties and cake because why skip the 2nd!
Summary: It's too many peoples birthdays at once. Jake and Jade on the first, Dave on the third, Rose and Roxy on the fourth. THERE WILL BE CAKE. THERE WILL BE HATS. THERE WILL BE GIFTS! There will also be screaming because the music in Violet City sucks.
Rating: PG-13? They all swear.
Log:

It's only when the last of the decorations is being placed, the last cake that one of Jake's friends made is brought out, and the last few meal trays are set in the dining section, that Cheria rolls down her sleeves and wipes her forehead. It was a little tough getting it all together for more than just one person, but overall, it paid off! The building she rented is big enough, and since it was for four days instead of the one, the renters gave her a discount and full use of the kitchen; just so long as nothing is broken, or at least gets replaced.

There were signs in each corner over tables as to where people can put gifts for each individual, but that really is all there is for separating guests. There's a table out by the back doors with Pokemon food, and a safe, fenced in area for smaller ones to play in; as well as board games, decks of cards, and various other games and toys scattered about the place. Really, the actual toys are more for Pokemon that won't leave their trainers. Twister is set up near the drinks, and there's a small dance floor, and while there isn't much for music or anyone to flip cds, Cheria will take that task on unless someone thinks of something better.

It is so time to open the doors.

((ooc notes: Have fun guys and basic threadjack rules apply, ask first! Most people are fine with it but I don't want to step on any toes herp. Don't worry about "spamming" me either, I turned email notifs off 8Db))

We're standing around actually carrying on conversation. Without trying to fucking outdo each other.

They might think that already.

Or attack each other. To be fair, I'm not wearing my godtier shit.

Welp. Too late to change their minds. Unless you want to cat fight or something.

You mean with the clawing at each other's faces and pulling air? Screaming about you needing to step off my man?

Please. I have more fucking class than that.

And this is why we're actually getting along now. Kinda. Sort of. Man we're embarrassing.

[ there's a moment of silence for their dignity. ]

Funny what being stuck in a different universe for a year will do to you.

And not stuck in each other's hair twenty four seven. Diff problems makes for less idk antagonism??

That's what I am going to contribute this relatively friendly demeanor to, anyway. Cabin fever probably didn't help shit.

Oh yeah. Cabin fever and boredom probably made it all shit tons worse. Then there was the fact we were wandering bubbles and more stuff was heaped upon our plates. Seeing all the dead people. Which was great and at the same time really damn sobering.

Maybe a little sobering. Most of the time, it just made me take a glance at everything I thought I knew and just rethink it over.

The sobering shit is knowing that somehow their success meant failure and our failure means success. Shit should not work that way.

What is logic with the game? I don't see it. Wait, okay I do but my perspective is that of a time player. It's this side of fucked up when I stop and actually bother to mull over the whole deal. Which I tend not to do and will continue to not think too hard on it.

Anyway yeah. Opposite day is really something you don't expect to realize.

Oh right. You Time players have a first hand look at all the skeevy ways shit is supposed t go down.

Maybe I shouldn't envy that.

I heard you got a look at it too. You only had the mainline but it's sort of like that. There's a lot to it, but to sum it up the session is a lot longer. For me, three times the length of the others perception. Dude, trust me. I envy people who don't work time.

Made my peace with it though.

I had my grubby claws in the cloning stuff and just watched your timelines. You get a better picture of everything when you watch a game session being done like that, but...

[ shrugs. ]

Probably could make a semblance of peace with it because of the Knight title. [ more than he, anyway. ]

No. [Spoken a little faster than he intended to. He shakes his head, then tries again.] It's not about titles. Or roles. Or whatever. I, [This was weirdly personal. He sighs because he ran right into it like a moron. Well, no sense running away now.] can run and waste my time fighting against what is and will be. Or I can face it.

That's all it is. [So he's a cynic. Welcome to apathy lane, we take your tired and battered knights.]

[ usually a moment like this should be taken with gratitude, right? right. it's such a serious tone and Dave isn't one to be anything less than stoic. well... outwardly at least.

but Karkat's not really the type of guy that's going to give Dave a pat on the back and be oh so proud that he'd share this sort of thing, huh? ]

Hoofbeast shit. We're all fighting against what is and what will be, you bulgesucking idiot. It's possible to do both. Facing it doesn't always mean accepting shit. If that was the case, then please... Let me lay my head down on a culling block.

It's facing it and forcing it to work in our favor. I don't know why you're fucking cynical about being a time player when you have more capability and opportunity to do this than the rest of us. From how shit turned out, I think you did just fine. More than fine.

[Whatever Karkat expected, Dave remains stoic in expression until he leans into his space, drawing his shades down a bit. His voice is quiet, only audible enough for them to hear it.] Exactly. And that means all of us have that right.

[ watch as Karkat opens his mouth to argue. Definitely walked into that one.

Dammit.

He closes that mouth with a pointed glare. More how dare you than I hate you. ]

I don't know what the fuck you mean by that.

[ only he does. Just doesn't know how to take it coming from Dave. Therefore he gives the ass a light punch in the arm. ]

I'll keep it in mind.

Of course you don't.

[Dave smirks, clearly pleased he slid into proverbial home plate in this discussion. Shit yes, this is a win. Oh yeah. He grunts at the punch, eh had worse.]

Good. Because it's pretty reasonable advice, you know what I'm saying?

The worst part is that I can't even muster up the appropriate levels of outrage to adequately demonstrate how offended I am.

[ which is actually better than it sounds. 8T ]

Go enjoy your party, Strider. Ride that dinosaur well when the time comes.

What.

[His head whips around to stare at the egg he's built a nest out of his winter gear for. Then he looks at Karkat, jaw working.] There's a dino in there?!

[The rarest thing ever thing happens. Dave visibly perks up, like a cat seeing a tuna can rattled and looks back at the egg.] Oh my god.

[Back at Karkat.] Oh my god.

[He blinks behind his shades and does the one thing he never thought he'd offer Karkat. His closed fist is offered.]

[ so Dave being the cat with the tuna can makes Karkat akin to the cat eating the canary. yes, yes he does look mighty smug. because he has gotten Dave Strider to just turn into a cheerful wiggler on the inside for about thirty seconds. ]

Cranidos is a dinosaur pokémon, yeah. Figured you'd appreciate the mental image later.

[ fist bump is a thing that is happening. ]

[He can't wrap his brain around it. There it is all glorious and amazing. Well, maybe he found the pokemon to name after Sweet Bro or Hella Jefff.

Maybe.]

...how big is going to get I mean so I know ahead of time what kind of dino will be rocking my party.

Rampardos gets about five feet three inches. Average. Some beasts get much larger or are even much smaller than what the Dex says.

Riku's Charizard is fucking massive. That thing is not five-seven.
