Who: Any of Sollux's friends who saw the invitation.
Where: Private room at a local restaurant.
When: 2/22, early evening.
What: Birthday party/dinner thing, because Aradia was serious about it.
Rating: PG or PG13, SOME OF THE GUESTS HAVE LANGUAGE WARNINGS (Sollux and Karkat).

[ It's a party slash dinner thing! The room is decorated with red and blue streamers and such, and there are party hats for anyone who wants them (if you don't want them, you can probably get away with not having them). It's a pretty simple layout, really. There is also a cake (...and a mini cake for Karkat Vantas, for Reasons having to do with slight bribery and promises) and various other sweets around, so there's that. When the cake is served there will be a mandatory birthday song singing, sorry Sollux.

There aren't any real surprises here, it is literally just a birthday dinner with decorations. ENJOY, and feel free to start any thread you like for mingling. ]

PRESENT TABLE

[timelymaid]

[ It is a table which you can put presents upon, i.e. exactly what it says on the tin. ]

[ From Aradia there is a neatly wrapped present - she stuck to the blue/red theme, because yes. As discussed when asking him what he wanted, Aradia did research to find a laptop that could possibly survive wear and tear in Johto. ...And spent like half her money on it but DETAILS, he can't figure that out unless he googles and - okay, he probably can.

There's an accompanying card which is pretty simple: ]

happy birthday sollux!
im pretty sure this should suit
-aradia

[From Kanaya is a carefully wrapped box about the size of a small growlithe. Inside are three pairs of gloves, one red, one blue, and one yellow, all identical aside from the color so their resident spaz can mix and match as he chooses.]

[But far more importantly are the stuffed bees accompanying each pair of gloves. Roughly two thirds the size of the stuffed bee she made for him at Christmas. (Pretend the pink one is more red.)]

[Apparently this is a thing now.]

[Sliding an egg onto the table where it's wrapped neatly in an egg sling, Vanitas made sure to leave his name on it; this is a gift he wants to hear about later on.

Slowpoke egg.]

Re: PRESENT TABLE

[usedshooshpap]

[ Karkat's package contains:

Dark Pulse
Aerial Ace
this styling hat
and a jar with honey - still has bits of the hive inside. ]

[timelymaid]

[ Obviously Aradia's out and about for this event; she'll greet people at the door, and will socialize pretty freely, since there's a fairly good chance of her knowing most if not all of the attendees. Indy the Gengar is her only visible pokemon companion, and he occasionally wanders off to do...whatever he does, which is mostly wait around to scare people, honestly.

She's dressed pretty casually because this is a party for Sollux; jeans, a red turtleneck, and a red "alice" headband she got for Valentines' from Other Father. She also acquires a red party hat over the course of the evening - her Gengar gets a blue one, and actually keeps it on without complaint.

To the surprise of absolutely no one she's in high spirits for the entire night. ]

[viiru2alert]

[Why is this happening. Why.]

[Sollux is just... standing there, affixing Aradia with a very dead stare and looking not at all like the happy dandy birthday boy he should be.]

[timelymaid]

[ So like every other day of his life, basically, right?

The glare has zero effectiveness on her, although it does get her to go over to check on him.

She has brought party hats, too. You know, in case he suddenly feels an uncharacteristic need to wear one. ]

Sollux! Smile, silly.

[viiru2alert]

[Basically.]





...No.

[GONNA BE PETULANT TODAY APPARENTLY.]

[timelymaid]

...Well, I guess it's technically your day, so you don't have to smile if you don't want to. Do you want a hat? You can have two, even!

[viiru2alert]

...What colour hats.

[timelymaid]

Red and blue. [ She and 99% of the world are aware of your colour choices, Sollux. ]

[viiru2alert]

...Fine.

[timelymaid]

[ Well, he might not be smiling, but that certainly makes her smile - and she'll happily hand over the party hats. ]

Now you'll be truly party fashionable. [ She's teasing. ]

[viiru2alert]

Truly.

[And he puts them where his horns should have been.]

[So fashionable.]

[timelymaid]

[ ....pffffffffft. Okay, give her a second to stop laughing. ]

If we got you two more and cut them off a little, you could have horns again for the day!

[ aradia no ]

[viiru2alert]

Best birthday present ever? I think so.

[usedshooshpap]

[ Aradia said that Karkat is getting his own personal cake and now he has it. huddled in a back corner like a fat kid hoarding his treasure.

he's seeing to it that there are no left overs. ]

[timelymaid]

[ She keeps her promises! And will be coming by to check up on him at some point. ]

Karkat! Is the cake okay?

[papshooshing]

It is passable.

[ which means that he's enjoying it enough to eat it, okok? ]

I'm actually impressed.

...WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HIS ARM IN THAT ICON...

[timelymaid]

Well, good! I'm glad it's passable.

See? I told you I wouldn't poison you!

Not on purpose, anyway.

it wasn't a complete drawing?

[papshooshing]

...That's a comforting thought, Megido. Maybe in a few hours we'll find out for absolute certain as to if this is poisoned or not.

i never noticed before now MY MIND IS BLOWN

[timelymaid]

It isn't!! You worry too much. You and Sollux both!

ahahahdsfasdf

[papshooshing]

Captor and I worry for different reasons, I assure you. His fear is that his body will reject any form of nutrition because of his nasty lack of eating and sitting in front of the computer screen 24/7 habits.

:p

[timelymaid]

I'm working on that still! ...But I think I'll just have to perpetually nag, bribe, or trick him into eating normal foods.
