Ain't no party like a ninja party

[usedswift]

Who: open to literally anyone in Blackthorn City who wanders into the ninja party + friends
Where: Blackthorn City (mainly hotsprings but also anywhere)
When: July 23rd
Summary: Sasuke gets a birthday party whether he wants one or not. Lucky for him, he has friends (in spite of his best efforts) who'll plan one.
Rating: G? PG for violence

[ooc; general mingle log for Blackthorn City/Sasuke's birthday. Most of it will probably take place at the hotsprings itself, though like the 'who' says, it's completely open to anyone just walking by and wondering what the big deal is, or someone who's already there and then has their pleasant soak interrupted by a bunch of dumb ninjas.]

Well... try to leave one house or something at least, so we have somewhere to go.

[Light teasing as the feel of her lips against his cheek made his own quirk up in a smile.]

We do have a lot of kids this time around to take care of.

Mm... I guess I could leave one house standing. If it's for our kids.

[Aaaaaaaand it's back to snuggle time. Because wow, thinking of the younger generation in their group as their kids... It puts a new perspective on things. The family (and then some) she had once dreamed of having around the time they were settling down together in Konoha. Here she would have to settle for adopting in the kids, but that was alright. Even if none of them would be hers like Naruto was. But hey, families were like the hidden villages. You didn't have to be tied to them by blood or clans to belong.]

[Snuggle time was definitely okay, though he reached out with his free hand to snag the floating tray, pulling it closer.]

They're quite a group.

[He'd been surprised by the ninja kids here, how different they all were from each other, how strong and capable and determined they were. Of course he probably shouldn't have expected anything less, but it had been a pleasant surprise, warmth and pride growing the more he learned about them.]

We're lucky to see how they've grown up. Hard to believe we saw them as newborns not that long ago, huh?

[ghostpepper]

Yeah... It almost feels like yesterday. But being here... It's like it was a whole lifetime ago.

[Her thoughts flash over the faces of the village's newest children, but finds so many of the memories blurred. She hadn't seen too much of her son's generation during her own pregnancy. Short of during visits to the Konoha hospital for the occasional check-up and a few walks around town so she didn't go crazy with no missions to keep her busy.]

I'm looking forward to seeing more of them around here. Even Mikoto's little je-- [AHEM...] younger son. You know... I don't think his hair changed at all since he was a baby. It's still fluffed out in the back.

[aflashoffaith]

[Since it's just the two of them... he doesn't try to stifle the laugh at her almost slip. No one was watching!]

He looks just like her, doesn't he? I think his... attitude is more like Fugaku though.

[Forever grump. Though Minato didn't doubt that the things Sasuke had already lived through in his short life were behind his sometimes short or cold demeanor- he'd probably be more surprised and worried if they hadn't affected Sasuke.]
