Birthday wishes

[shamelessness]

Who: Anyone!
What: Rin's Birthday
When: Dec. 27th
Where: House 15, in the living room
Summary: Shiemi is throwing Rin a birthday party. She's doing most of the setting up, but Rin was kind enough to cook for his own party. We don't want Shiemi killing anyone.
Rating: PG-13 at most I think.


Plants and heat lamps litter the living space of House 15, but they're all decorated in Christmas style. Baubles and shiny tinsel-like garland hand from bushes that range from fruit bearing to thorny. What might be most notable is that Mistletoe can be found almost everywhere. Shiemi saw people kissing under it a couple times, and despite it being a poisonous plant, if people really liked it that much then it should be at the party! The girl collected a lot of it, so people are bound to run into it! Feel free to get your grub on with Rin's homemade dishes, give out some kisses, or brag about the presents you did or did not get the Son of Satan.

17... ish. There's probably sixteen candles

[rashness]

N-no way. I haven't found out anything like that.

OKay, just wanted to check.

[hero_of_smiles]

Than maybe you just have really good moisturizer.

[Pfft, okay he's about done now.]

Well, either way. Happy Birthday, Rin. Here's to another year of you getting older.

[rashness]

Yeah, thanks. [ Even if he never wanted to be having another one here. He keeps an easy smile, even if it's strained some by the idea of it. And Yukio not being here--- and he shouldn't focus on all that ]

It's nice to have people showin' up like this right after Christmas.

[hero_of_smiles]

[He knows that pain, bro. He knows it well. But this isn't a time to be sad. So, all the back pats!]

Hey, not many of us had much to do on Christmas. So, you know. This is where the party actually starts.

[And then he leans in close to Rin's ear with his hand covering his mouth a bit. Secret talk and all.]

Tell ya the truth, I had to deal with tiny, Shu. If you know who that is. It's like someone gave the kid sugar...and then coffee...and then more sugar.

[rashness]

[ Man again with the Shu. He met the guy once and he was sort of weird. But he nods all the same - and he did have to hear the younger him out on the journals too, so he nods sagely ]

Who knew kids could be hyper like that?

[hero_of_smiles]

My theory is they're born with caffeine and sugar in their veins. Because when they become adults they don't produce much of it so they have to drink coffee to even stay awake.

[Sage nod. This is clearly science. He knows science.]

[rashness]

Not every adult drinks coffee though, you know-!

[hero_of_smiles]

...Truuuuuuue.

Maybe, they just caffeine injections instead of drinking coffee.

[rashness]

You think so?

[hero_of_smiles]

Definitely. Have you ever seen an adult try and work without some sort of caffeine thing? 'Cause I haven't.

[rashness]

[ ... ] Is there caffeine in booze?

[hero_of_smiles]

I don't believe so. Well, not unless you add it in or mix it with something caffeine in it.

...

Which means they do get their energy from booze.

[rashness]

...They can?

That's scary, but it makes sense.

[hero_of_smiles]

...I'm not sure if we should test this out or not.

Hmmmm...

[Science is a good reason for anything, right?]

[rashness]

No, we shouldn't! Do you ever deal with strong drunk people?!

[hero_of_smiles]

No-ope. That's why we need to experiment.

For science.

It'll be fun. We just keep our distance.

[rashness]

You're playing with fire, man! With fire!

[hero_of_smiles]

I'm playing with caffeine and alcohol, Rin. Not fire. Gosh. It'll be fiiiiine.

[rashness]

Unless it works against you! You gotta be careful with that idea...!

... I'm in though.

[hero_of_smiles]

Excellent, I need an assistant.

Okay so we'll need to go to the bar than. Only place with booze in this place.

[rashness]

Actually we got some at Seventh Heaven too.

[hero_of_smiles]

Perfect. Grab some when you can and then we'll get some adult to have a drink with us or something.

I dunno, we'll figure it out.

[rashness]

What adult are you thinking...?

[hero_of_smiles]

Dunno. Maybe Cliff. He seems like the kind of guy to drink.

[rashness]

Okay, if you say so! I guess I'll have to be ready to deal with it if it goes wrong...
