Log:

[It was pretty easy for Sora and Ven to get everything prepared, because they were hardly alone. Everyone who showed up early helped with decorations, and Hikari helped keep the zanier ideas in check - no longer would it rain glitter on Riku when he entered the room, she pared him that fate.

As the hour of the party drew close, Sora went to pick up Riku. The plan was to usher him to the building blindfolded and get him to the room they'd reserved. If Riku saw the outside, the surprise would be spoiled. And so, while waiting for the birthday boy to arrive, Ven flicked off the lights and prompted everybody to hide.

Any minute now, Sora'd be back with Riku...]

The Birthday Boy Arrives!

[ex_aeroga402]

[The room is dark and still as everybody waits for a certain someone to arrive...

Where at? The karaoke bar, of course. And they've got their own, festively decorated room just for the occasion]

Party Down!

[ex_aeroga402]

[Hanging around? Singing? Trying to get Riku to sing along too? That all goes here]

Cake Time!

[ex_aeroga402]

[That's one heck of a big chocolate volcano cake on the table on the far side of the room...]

Giftage!

[ex_aeroga402]

[All presents have a nice table to themselves. Comment with your gift to Riku right here]

Dinner Time!

[ex_aeroga402]

[Around 7pm they're off to a fancy seafood restaurant. There, some tables have been pushed together and arranged for the party. Have to have something mature for Riku's 18th birthday, right?

Besides, all that singing must've left someone hungry]

[ex_aeroga402]

[A package wrapped in paopu-yellow paper looks like an awful lot of effort went into wrapping it...but both the paper and the overlarge bow are a bit askew for all the work involved.

Inside the box is a Charizard-patterned Wii with matching controllers and several games Sora and Ventus have caught Riku looking at or playing at the arcade. He'll be all decked out now - there's even a shiny Charizard carrying case]

[islandshore]

[Riku really isn't a fan of blindfolds, but... whatever. He's willing to roll with the punches, if only because he knows what day it is.

So here he is, probably looking a fair bit ridiculous.]

So, when can I take this thing off, anyway?

[itsjustdust]

[Obito had a strong appreciation for chocolate. Thus, it was a perfectly legit concern to station himself near the cake so he could get a piece when it got cut. And make sure that Mr-forgets-to-eat also got a piece. Especially given the whole rush to get here thing meant they missed breakfast. And lunch. And dinner the night before. Caaaake.]

[beforethedarkness]

[A small unmarked box with deep green paper is all Sasuke sets on the table, frowning at it (along with some of the bandages on his fingers). It was hard to make... But hopefully it's worth it, not because of what the gift is but what it means.

Still, he's glad satisfied that he had enough time to work on it and make it into a viable gift in time, since carving wood was surprisingly difficult. At least Goldenrod's department store let him buy the wood carving knife to begin with. So, once he put the gift down? He's walking away to go and try to avoid having to sing for Karaoke. That's one thing Sasuke did not sign up for.]

[[OoC: Gift is a pendant of this symbol (warning, pic is HUGE), carved out of wood and hooked through a metal chain. Happy birthday, Foofyku!]]

[chosen_light_child]

[Hikari didn't get Riku anything super fancy or anything that wasn't practical. He seemed like a guy who'd prefer something that he could really use rather than something else.

So, her gift is a set of four evolution stones, containing a Thunder, Water, Leaf, and Fire stone.]

[usedswift]

[Tenten doesn't know Riku well at all, and her information-gathering attempts in the short span of time since she'd been picked up and dizzyingly flown from Cherrygrove all the way here hadn't given her a solid idea, either.

So instead, she improvises, finding some sturdy paper to make an origami crane with an arrow pointing to how he should unfold it to get what's inside -- a pair of blue hair ribbons. Useful!]

[machinamonkey]

[It's in two bags, tied together. The big one has a thing of hair care supplies, all tropical scented because she's from Olivine and that's what she found a lot of.

The small one has an airhorn with a note: "to shut your team up!"

Oh, there's some candy and stuff in there too. Rikku gives everyone candy]

[itsjustdust]

[Obito had, upon realizing that the end of their flight would be a party, gotten Riku the most awesome thing ever. A hat. Which was a little crumpled from being shoved in his bag, but a hat all the same!]

[soggypastry]

[Lightning herself isn't in attendance of this fine shindig, and therefore sent her gift on ahead with Ven before they parted ways. In the simply wrapped package is a three piece assortment of action/adventure movies (with Pokécasts, of course), and some simple black hair-ties. No, no ribbons from this lady.

Oh, and a note, in easy to read handwriting: "You did good back there. Happy birthday.

Lightning."

Unfortunately, she's not the best at this kind of thing. Whoops.]

[for_realsies]

*One package is in bright pink paper and has Foofyku written on it. In the girliest of script, I mean the y has a loop in the shape of a heart, and it looks like the two os have a cake over top of them.*

*It contains a pale yellow striped shirt, button up, it has a note next to it in the box. "I guessed on the size, I hope it fits! - Imogen." Nobody is surprised by who this is from.*

Open - Two options to go with. Party or Somber

[for_realsies]

So you see that girl dressed vaguely between circus performer and twelve year old party princess? The girl with the glasses, the hair up with chopsticks, and enough energy to power New York City? Well, she is coming over to say hi and get to know you, yes, you! Especially You!

There is no escape, good luck.

*****
You would think, someone dressed like Imogen, with her hair done up, just the right amount of make-up, and an outfit with at least five different colors involved in it, would be happily talking up and dealing with everyone. And she did spend a while doing that, but right now she's at the edge of the room sitting quietly.

Wallflower doesn't really suit the girl, but she looks just a bit sad as she stays on the outside for a little while, to catch her breath.

[falseshore]

[Food is good, Obito. Also, hope you don't mind this Rikuface wandering over to join you by the cake to check it out as well.]

Party Imogen, please

[falseshore]

[Hi, this guy is kinda hanging out where there's less people, trying to figure out how to operate this party thing. He may be part Riku, but he's not good at this whole socializing thing. Go bohther him?]

[darkaura]

[So he's just...going to watch Evan watch Obito, okay?]

[darkaura]

[Being on a low budget presented a pretty unique challenge. Being a simulation of the person Riku would be in another reality was cause for yet more. Still, he's made his endeavor.

In plain parcel paper, Riku will find, of all things, a journal. If Riku flips through it, he'll find the pages have been carefully categorized and labeled. When full, the thing could be an encyclopedia. For now, however, the content is limited.

The front has a listing of every species he could find through research, complete with illustrations. While hand-drawn, they look printed. There's also some notes in the back - the results of his research into what moves can be bred by what 'mons to get egg moves.

Additionally, a note.

I understand some results require a Breeder. If you're short one, I'll give you a hand.]

[islandshore]

[Sup, bros? Someone's going to totally just... lurk behind you guys with a smirk.]

It's like a house of mirrors.

[falseshore]

[Sup yourself? Have a startled clone, who jumps and then quickly tries to compose himself.]

Where did you even come from?

[falseshore]

[Until Evan notices the staring.]

What?

[darkaura]

I'm trying to figure out how long he's been staring at that thing like it'll do a trick.

[falseshore]

Maybe he's guarding it.
