lucetilogs | Our generation makes things interesting!

Who: Masaomi and anyone who comes
What: Birthday Shindig
When: 18th, Midday-ish (it's really on the 19th, but draft)
Where: Rec Center
Summary: Masaomi wanted to see his friends before the draft and ts' his birthday tomorrow. So he took the thing Mikado Announced and decided to make it on the day before to make it easier on everyone
Rating: idk??

[Well it's a "party" - Masaomi at least didn't plan for things like decorations or a cake, so there's just the video games, pool table, air hockey, and whatever else is normally here. If other people brought cake or food though, that's good! His message said that this was't planned (mostly because with is broke arm he can't lug anything and he didn't want to force that on Shikamaru. But yeah!! Let's... okay so it might not be the most enjoyable thing ever given the date, but let's interact!

I'll be making subthreads for gifts and food (the later because it's not supplied so people know what's there) but other than that make your own thread, mingle, mass log stuff ♥ If you character is a friend of Masaomi's assume he rang them about the date-change. Same for anyone who replied to Mikado's entry about it. If you want to crash it that's okay too, or say you heard from someone else or just followed someone there or... anything...]

[That gives him pause. He was thinking about his best friend as he said it - it would be the Chouji response for sure - but he wasn't expecting her to point it out.

That she does though... just brightens his mood.]

You ain't kidding. [He jerks his thumb back towards the food table.] You can't fit an Akimichi spread on that flimsy thing.

[She grinned a little.]

Definitely not. And to think, someone brought a vegetable platter.

[It was her, and he probably knows it, along with what is apparently the majority of the (store-bought) food over there.]

Now what were they thinking. Should've been a vegetable boat.

[You know. To counteract the Livewire Mountain Dew Shikamaru found. Masaomi's on his third or fourth can or something.]

[She follows his glance to where Masaomi is drinking his soda and... ha.]

Do you really think it would have helped?

If he upchucks it, we'd at least have something buoyant to hold on to.

Shikamaru!

[She laughs as she says his name but - that's gross, son.]

Safety first, right?

[He winks. THESE ARE LEGITIMATE CONCERNS, OKAY.]

I think I can manage holding back some soda.

[You know. Between her and THE AVATAR and all.]

Besides, if he makes a mess...

[She trails off, actually. It's his birthday, he shouldn't have to clean it up. And doing it one-handed would be awkward. Therefore, her finish is lame:]

...there are plenty of people here to help deal with the aftermath.

Softie.

[You're supposed to be the one nagging him about this stuff, gosh Katara.]

It's his birthday.

[Why does she always have to be the one nagging, gosh. Besides, who got him the soda?]

[Now you see his predicament.]

Oh, I didn't know it was like... [What was it called. That card in that weird money game he saw the other day.] That 'get out of jail free' card?

[There's a question in that, to himself. But he thinks he got it right.]

I'll have to remember that.

A 'get out of jail free' card? Where did you see something lile that?

Some game at the item shop. Monopo-something.

...right.

[As if he doesn't remember the name.]

Well, you have to pick a birthday in order to use that "card."

...hooo. Tricky.

[HE SEES WHAT YOU DID THERE.]

[She shrugs, smiling.]

What? That's the only way it's fair, or else you could just whip it out any time you got in trouble.

[You know him too well, Katara.]

Troublesome. That's not a trump card, it's a coupon.

[She rolls her eyes.]

Trump cards are only good if you're playing the game - in this case, birthdays.

Point is they rarely have expiration dates.

[He settles further back in his bean bag chair. These things really are comfortable.]

To be honest, the real date doesn't matter to me, but I can't see myself celebrating it on any other day either. September feels more right than February, if that makes sense.

Plus, you wouldn't get to use your trump card this year otherwise.

[But she knows what you mean.]

[Nah, if that were the point of it, he'd take the earlier date anyhow.]

There is that.

[She gives him a softer look.]

But I know what you mean. It feels like I always forget that my "birthday" is in July, right up until the date. And January feels strange without acknowledging it.

What is the actual date?

January first - right before midnight.

[She smiled at him.]

What about you?

September twenty-second. Also an evening kid.

[It's funny because of how long it took. >>]

I'm only older than Ino by a few hours, actually.
