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.]

Comments

[ The compliments and then the hug following it fill her heart with a strange kind of warmth. It's been a while since she felt it - how long? Did she even truly feel it ever since Kidou disappeared from this place? Probably not. But that's why she'll gladly take advantage of the situation to get as much of the feeling as she can get, and when she's leaning into the hug and snuggling a little closer, Urotsuki almost seems like a normal girl instead of the weird way she usually is. Just for a moment. ]

I'm.. really, really happy too..

[Diarmuid returns the hug making sure they both get it in equal measure.]

That's good, because this is a party and we should be enjoying ourselves here. Are either of you hungry? I haven't eaten yet and some of the food really smells good...

[puppy_lancer]

[He snuggles them both tightly, not even pulling away as he answers.]

Yeah, a little bit! We should get some food to celebrate the fact that we've got another comrade.

...What do you say, little knight?

[chainsawn]

Hmm. [ She gives a nod - although they can probably feel it more than see it, since she's still pretty much pressed against them.. ]

I haven't eaten anything here yet either.. is it yummy?

I think this is about ready for a wrap up?

[oathshackledbird]

I bet it is. My brother always throws the best parties and good parties have to have good food.

[Diarmuid pushes them both toward the food tables.]

Lets go find out, shall we?

I'm okay with if jelle is

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer nods and starts going over to the food tables.]

Make sure to grab some cake. It's the best thing on the menu.

yes, ending it here should be fine! thanks, you two! c:

[chainsawn]

I want the cake..

[ And with that (not seemingly that excited, but she probably is excited under it), she moves over to the food tables as well to stuff herself. ]
