Finally, another party

Characters: ProtoLancer

puppy_lancer, Zero Lancer

oathshackledbird and anyone interested in attending a birthday party. Details here.
Setting: Meadow
Format: Anything goes
Summary: Lancer throws his brother a party. Everyone can come except for the Archer (meaning they can come crash the party anyways)! Feel free to tag into any of the threads set up or invent your own scenario.
Warnings: None yet!

[It had taken some preparing, but the party was finally set up in a satisfactory way. There was a table for food and drink dragged in from the cafeteria, a wooden bucket filled with water with fruit floating in it, a strange paper mache Jason head pinata stacked on a scarecrow body, and a board with a pig with a Ganon head scribbled on it along with several spiraling paper "tails" attached to thumbtacks. There are no party decorations, but Lancer figures the flowers and sunshine should be decoration enough.]

[Now it's just a matter of waiting for people to show up.]

Ah, so they are about that time.

[His brother doesn't need to be specific. It's easy for Diarmuid to guess that the memories involve that time he cannot remember.]

I'm sorry... I wish there was something I could do to make things right. So much has changed and I don't even remember why...

And I wish that there was some way to make your nightmares go away too.

...You know, come to think of it, we really should have been born brothers. We even have the same problems.

[Diarmuid reaches out and gives his brother's shoulder a squeeze.]

We are brothers now. Lets not waste time on what should have been, all right? Besides, blood is not the strongest type of bond out there. We do not need it to show what we are to each other.

Now, lets let this talk of nightmares pass. Aren't you the one who told me we should be talking of happier things? We can discuss this more later. Lets just enjoy the party.

[He nods.]

So, which game do you wanna try out first? I've got pin the tail on the donkey, apple bobbing, and pinatas! Oh yeah, Sayaka's got a drone decorating contest too!

You put so much effort into this...

[He looks around at the games and then shakes his head looking slightly embarrassed.]

You realize I don't know what most of those games are, don't you? I have no idea what to pick.

I had to do some searching too. Basically, when bobbing for apples, everyone sticks their heads in the water and try to bite out a fruit with their mouths. Pin the tail on the donkey means you close your eyes and stick a tail on the drawing and hope you get it in the right place. A pinata is this doll thing filled with prizes and you hit it until it bursts so you can get the prizes. And drone decorating is drawing on drones with markers. So, which one do you want?

These games...they are certainly not the same as those we grew up with are they?

[He laughs.]

I see that Rin isn't the only one who has decided to show her displeasure with her new 'friends' by drawing on them. It seems like a harmless enough way to show our displeasure with their spying ways.

A way to pretty up the Tower too. Makes you feel much less tense when a drone walks by with a dick drawn on its head.

Of course, I bet some people will draw more elegant things.

Oh, so you have seen Rin's drones?

[Because that is exactly what she did to hers...]

In any event, pick whatever game you would like to try first. I will follow you. After all, you are the one who put all of this together. Would you like to take a swing at a Jason head before they are all gone? For some reason, they are very popular.

They were hers? She has good tastes!

...Sure, let's let the birthday boy pop the first Jason head.

Well, I won't assume that she is the only one who has done something like that, but I do know she did adorn hers in such a matter.

[Diarmuid laughs and then shakes his head.]

Jason didn't hurt me so much as he hurt others. I think you should get to break the first one.

If you say so.

[He walks toward the pinata. Once he's there, he manifests his spear, turns it upside down, and bursts the paper mache head with one swing of his spear's butt. And, of course, dried berries come spilling out. It's good to know that his little game works.]

[Diarmuid watches him, clapping his hands once it is done.]

If only it were so easy, no? To make them pay for what they have done.

I only wish it were so.

[He picks up a handful of the dried berries. Popping one in his mouth, he holds the rest out at Diarmuid.]

[Diarmuid takes a couple, popping them into his mouth.]

Thank you. Was it hard to make them? I don't know if I have seen anything made quite like that before.

It got easier once I figured out how to make the paper stick, I can tell you that!

[It included toothpaste. Lots of it.]

[Diarmuid raises an eyebrow at him.]

Do I want to know how you did that? Glue?

[He chuckles and rubs at the back of his head.]

Yeah, that and toothpaste.

[Suffice to say, he had made a huge mess in the workshop.]

I am sad that I wasn't able to help you. It sounds like a mess, but a fun one.

[Though, he is glad he wasn't the one who had to clean up said mess...]

Then next time I throw you a party, I'll tell you ahead of time. So you can help prepare and keep me from spiking any drinks.

[Diarmuid gives the drinks a concerned look.]

Did you spike any of them? I mean, a lot of them are already alcoholic. How do you spike alcohol? Do I want to know?

With something spicy. Or with things like small fish. What, you've never done it before?

S-small fish?

[Diarmuid's eyes are wide in shock.]

No! Someone could choke on something like that. Why would you do that?

Oh come on, they were mostly dead! And if anyone choked, I'd slap them on the back. But really, the looks on those guy's faces when they realize they were drinking fish? Priceless.

Brother...

[Diarmuid sighs, shaking his head.]

After Oscar, one would think I would be used to these kinds of tricks, but... Just be careful, okay? It stops being a joke when someone gets hurt.
