Happy Birthday, Ryoji

[puppy_lancer]

Characters: You know the drill. Lancer puppy_lancer, Ryoji notsogrimreaper, the people they invited between the two of them, and everybody else who just happens to stumble into the party.
Setting: Floor 25, November 17, morning-evening
Format: Open, anything goes
Summary: It's Ryoji's birthday, so Lancer is throwing him a big party. Anyone is welcome in! (And nobody is gonna kick out those who aren't so welcome)
Warnings: None for now

[It's been a long time since Lancer had thrown any parties. Therefore, he's making this bigger and grander than the last two parties he's thrown. It's a good way for him to distract himself from all the emotional turmoil that had popped up during the battle with Sephiroth, if anything.]

[There's two tables laden with food over at one side of the floor. The centerpiece for that is a big double-tier cake with "HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYOJI" written over the side of the bottom layer. The top layer is little more than a glorified candle holder, as several handfuls of candles have been jammed all over that second layer.]

[Over on the other side, there was a variety of party games. They're all old favorites like pin the tail on the piggy (pinning spiraling paper tails onto a "pig" with Ganon's face), apple bobbing (various fruits in a water-filled wooden barrel), and everyone's favorite--the pinata (a scarecrow with a berry-filled paper mache head supposed to represent Jason).]

[In the center of the floor, there is a stage nailed together from wooden boards. A ways behind that, a pile of wood stacks into a bonfire pyre. A turnip lantern leers at the party goers from one corner of the stage.]

[For decorations, there are black feathers and crude little paper doll cutouts resembling angels scattered around on the ground or in the corners of the dining tables. There are also a few more turnip lanterns.]

[And of course, Lancer, like a good host, stands on the stage, dressed like a hobby horse, waiting for people to show up. He's feeling pretty relaxed, if only because the major unwanted guest, Sephiroth, was locked up and in no danger of crashing this party.]

That I am! Ganondork Dragmire, the so-called King of Evil.

[Time to find out!]

[evokingfool]

[Oh, that guy! Even Minato heard of the big bad Ganondork Ganondorf.]

Him? How did he get associated with a pig?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

He used to turn into a huge pig. At least, that's what one of the Link's said when we all had a sleepover last year.

[evokingfool]

[To be fair, Minato's imagining some appropriate demonic pig demon, evil presence and all. But his mouth quirks into a small smile.]

There's probably some truth in it, unless it's made-up.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Nah, Link wouldn't have made it up since the art that depicts him as a pig came after his time. And it's Ganon.

[If Tetra weren't trying to be a good person, she's suggest that Minato ask if anyone smelled bacon. Next time he's near Ganon.]

[evokingfool]

Ah, I see. And this is somewhat common knowledge?

[If Minato was more of a troll and less polite, he'd ask if Ganon Bacon is edible.]
