birthdayyy

Who: Syeira, Arthur, anyone who's friends with Syeira!
Broadcast: none
Action: at the Space bar on the Iskaulit
When: today at 6pm

Arthur's set up the Space bar with handmade decorations, streamers, and a sign that neatly spells out 'Happy Birthday, Syeira'. Of course there's the bar, where you can buy drinks. Nami's probably here somewhere to ask permission.

But there's also a beverage table, with neat little labels for the punch, water, and free alcoholic beverages. There's also a nice heap of finger foods: crackers, dips, sandwiches, whatever Arthur could trade for or buy for the party.

There's a table set up for card games, a small area for dancing to the music that's playing in the background, and some tables in the corners for the less sociable.

All bards and the musically-inclined are encouraged to play and sing. Heck, maybe you can get Syeira to sing for everyone!

Arthur's set up a game of passing the orange, too, because evidently he gets his party ideas from classic movies. For those unaware, you're supposed to form two lines, each line being a team. You have to start with the orange tucked under your chin, and must pass it to the next person, until the last person, no matter where the orange rolls to. What an excellent way to awkwardly meet someone!

Don't forget cake! How did Arthur manage to find enough ingredients for cake? Who knows, but it's just a small sheet cake, vanilla. He did his best. It tastes decent, at least.

And there's a pile of presents on a table in the corner. Maybe you should find the birthday girl and give yours to her.

Have fun!

[ooc: Feel free to make a starter. Anyone friends with Syeira is invited! Backtags are always welcome.]

[She had thought Arthur looked a bit....dressy, for going to the Iskaulit, but hadn't dwelled on it. It's Arthur after all. He always looks very slick.

So she just frowns in puzzlement and looks down at her usual clothing.

Why? Is there something wrong with my gear? Is there a tear?

Birthday Girl!

Syeira was most assuredly shocked when she showed up and there was all her friends, shouting surprise and happy birthday. It takes a few minutes for her to grasp it, that they'd all gifted her a birthday. A real birthday.

She cries a little. From joy.

She will likely hug you in delight and gratitude. She'll also attempt to play hostess instead of guest of honor, and see if you're getting enough to eat or drink. As for presents, she'll definitely need to be gently directed to open any, because how can they possible be for her?

Before Syeira can hug Beverly, Beverly's hugging her and even gives her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Surprised?"

She's so happy she could pop, and it shows. "Yes! So much. I can't believe this."

Beverly grins. She loves surprise parties and loves when they go over so well. "Well you deserve it, birthday girl!"

Felix is feeling a bit more timid at a party than he might have been in the past, something Syeira well knows from seeing him at his full potential at the masquerade. He hangs back quite a bit, smile far more subdued that before, but it's there.

He's here because he was asked. Because it helps to try to focus on someone that isn't himself and his own stupid problems. Or he would very much like to pretend that it helps.

Felix - open

[Feeling uncomfortable at a party is a new experience for Felix. He hides it well under his usual smile, but anyone who knows him might detect the difference.

Even were he in his best mood, he probably wouldn't involve himself in any insipid party games. Cards, however, are at least safe territory, and it's mostly at that table that the wizard can be found, ensconced with a drink or two at hand.

He'll content himself with solitaire until anyone expresses the desire to cut in]

That's a thing where you're from?

[She's teasing, but puffs away a curl green her face.]

Alright, I'll just be a minute.

[Back into her room she goes. It didn't take her long. She's not a girl who fusses over herself much. She comes back out after about five minutes.]

Okay, here I am.

She doesn't miss him, off by himself. And she makes a point to go see him. She even brings a piece of cake for him.

"Here!" The cake is enthusiastically thrust towards him.

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2016-06-10 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
She'll probably be pink cheeked for the rest of the night, she's so delighted and happy. "I don't know about that, but it's... this is really wonderful."

[She tugs at the skirt bashfully, shrugging a shoulder. It's not the rather glamorous, magical outfit she'd worn to the ball. Actually, in comparison it's amazingly plain, but she still flattered by the compliment and simultaneously feels like it's unwarranted.]

Thanks. Yeah I'm ready.

You know I'm surprised you're wanting to go to the tavern. After my little bender, I'd think you'd be forbidding me going there.
child_of_bhaal: (hope)

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2016-06-10 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
You're not a stick-in-the-mud.

[She knows that one!]

I'm sorry I worried you. It just wasn't a good day...until it got better.

[Until Zhas was suddenly in the kitchen like he'd never left. Only then had she been able to actually allow all the comfort, people had tried to offer her, to get inside her walls.]

"I fear I brought you no gift, little firehair, saving only an apology. Are you still angry with me?"

Maglor slips in quietly and waits until she has a moment alone. He's also stretching the truth, as his gift is the song he's writing for her.

[personal profile] lord_wizard 2016-06-10 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
He takes it, gingerly, though only because it would be rude not too. He doesn't seem that enthusiastic to be presented with it.

"Thank you. Though, I am in no danger of starving, I assure you," he says, smiling faintly.

"Isn't it?" Beverly claps her hands together. "I'm impressed with how much work Arthur put into it. He seems very sweet."
child_of_bhaal: (interest)

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2016-06-11 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
"He's a good friend." Her agreement is a little choked at the end, she's trying not to get weepy again. "You all are."
child_of_bhaal: (Default)

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2016-06-11 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
"I wanted to make sure you got some." Even if he doesn't eat it. "I'm glad you're here. What are you doing off in this lonely corner?"
child_of_bhaal: (crowned in blood)

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2016-06-11 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Her answer to that comes in an abrupt hug. No, she's entirely sober. It's just her mood has gone to the full opposite extreme of when he last saw her.

"No, of course not! I'm the one who owes you an apology. You were only being kind to me, and I lost my temper on you. I'm so sorry."
bythewaves: (look up)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2016-06-12 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
He smiles and reaches up to ruffle her hair briefly before returning the hug, although he cannot quite help the initial stiffening in surprise when she does.

"I did not mind - you needed the release, and I am used to being a target for anger.
child_of_bhaal: (okay then)

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2016-06-12 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
She's being turned into a hugger, little by little. He may have to start getting used to it.

"Being used to is doesn't mean you deserve it. And all the more reason for me to be more careful in the future."
bythewaves: (hm?)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2016-06-12 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
"I wanted you too." He says firmly. "So you are not to feel guilty. Sometimes it is better to let such things out less they fester."
