Our generation makes things interesting!

[generalflirt]

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...]

[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.

[endgames]

[You know him too well, Katara.]

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

[markofthebrave]

[She rolls her eyes.]

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

[endgames]

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.

[markofthebrave]

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

[But she knows what you mean.]

[endgames]

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

There is that.

[markofthebrave]

[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.

[endgames]

What is the actual date?

[markofthebrave]

January first - right before midnight.

[She smiled at him.]

What about you?

[endgames]

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.

[markofthebrave]

[She laughed a little.]

That must have driven her nuts.

[endgames]

Not as much as it did my mom.

[markofthebrave]

[An eyebrow raise, a silent, "Oh?"]

[endgames]

Long story.

[markofthebrave]

[Oh, booo.]

You're going to bring it up and then cop out? Just like that?

[endgames]

[He rubs his neck sheepishly. It was a thoughtless comment on his part, but when he's heard the story often enough...]

"Too much information", some would say.

[markofthebrave]

...ah.

[Then she shrugs.]

Well, all right then. Tonight you're off the hook.

[endgames]

Score.

[markofthebrave]

[She sighs a little, glancing around.]

Things have been so busy, I haven't had a chance to show you that what I wanted to yet.

[endgames]

Aa, that's right. I forgot to ask about it.

[markofthebrave]

Let's try to remember when I get back.

[Because you will totally be alive and able to ask her about it then, y/y? Good.]

[endgames]

[It must be something unusual, if she doesn't even plan to give him a hint. But she gives it a backseat, so it can't be life-changing in its importance.

Hm. He tilts his head.]

Sure. First chance we get.

[markofthebrave]

[She kind of figured out that you'd be a bit busy after she left. Better not to distract you.]

Sounds good.
