Who: Members of House 53 + anyone close who may be invited. Ping any of us about this if interested, chances are we'll say yes anyway.
What: It's Elliot's birthday!
When: Backdated to the 8th.
Where: House 53. Gilbert's doing catering, after all.
Summary: Huffy Young Master Nightray grows a year older. Technically.
Rating:
[Leo had never been any good at celebrating birthdays. Sure, he knew that cake was a good idea, and gifts obligatory (spending a year in a house full of children clued him in on this, granted), but when it came to making preparations, it was simply easier to leave it to Gilbert . Not all of it, of course, just-- the most important bits.

That's why the preparations are kept simple-- Elliot really wasn't the kind for huge parties anyway and this seemed appropriate. ]

((Make your own threads, I guess! I think it's safe to say that everything is threadjackable.))

[Why do so many people know his name--

But Leo is always polite, always pleasant, so he'll go ahead, raise a hand in greeting and smile.]

Hello.

[But there's no familiarity in that, it's like he's greeting someone whom he's never quite seen before.]

[You're famous, Leo! Or.. something. But hearing him respond that way does sound somehow.. strange, maybe? Hmm.]

Did you help set this all up for Elliot?

A part of it. I'm afraid his adopted brother did most of the work. [smile smile smile] Are you a friend of Elliot's?

[Yellow just kinda.. blinks at that..]

...Huh? Y-yeah! [...] Um... Do you not remember me then, Leo...?

[Hmm...]

[...nope.]

I'm afraid I don't. Did we know each other then?

[A moot question because she obviously knows him and Elliot probably knows her for her to get invited and it's— curious.]

[...Oh. It takes Yellow a moment to answer that. When Yellow had arrived in Luceti, some people mentioned knowing and being friends with her from her previous visit, which she didn't remember. And now it's basically flipped around, with Leo being the one without memories. Welp. This is awkward. And possibly a little saddening too, but..

After a moment, she nods.] Um... Yeah. From the last time you were here. [a beat] Uh.. well, my name's Yellow! [May as well re-introduce herself, right?!]

It's a pleasure meeting you, Yellow. [Handshake, maybe? This one won't bite, don't worry.] I'm sorry that it's been a little awkward.

[Handshake it is then!] Huh? N-no, it's fine! It must be really awkward for you, if anything, since people you don't remember happen to know you.

Well, there hasn't too many people telling me that they know me just yet.

Oh, really...? Sorry about that, then. [whoops]

[He waves it off.]

I suppose I didn't know too many people. Or perhaps I haven't met them yet.

[Ah well...] I guess that may be it. But regardless, um... Welcome back! Even if you don't remember me, it's nice to get to see you again.

[Isn't he so much more pleasant this way, Yellow...]

Ah, thank you. [Huhuhu] ...do you mind if I ask you a question?

[yes

but anyway--] Huh? Sure! What is it?

[Rude. Just because he isn't kissing her any more...!]

What kind of animal is your pet?

[hdu not kiss her more]

Oh, right, I guess you wouldn't remember her either... Well, this is Chuchu! She's not an animal like the ones around here though; she's a Pokémon. Specifically a Pikachu. [She gestures toward the mouse, who then takes the cue to wave up at Leo.]

[but does she really want red to see her kissing someone else

He waves back a little at Chuchu when Chuchu waves at him. But makes no attempt to pet the tiny thing just yet.]

That's fascinating. What are Pokémon then?

[red won't have to know]

Pokémon are basically like animals, I guess! From what I've seen, anyway... But they have some more abilities than they do and aren't as common in other worlds as animals are. Apparently they only exist in mine [and its parallels], so...

[miss yellow you're so sneaky]

That's a pity. [But it's okay, he can read all about her!! It'll be fun, looking for a book on these-- Pokémon.] What can she do?

[can't be tamed]

Well... She's an electric Pokémon, so she can use electric-based attacks. Like this.

[And then Chuchu will go ahead and let some light sparks come out of her cheeks. Yep.]

[let's do it???

Leo steps back when the sparks starts (it's a really good thing he hadn't been curious enough to poke or pet it, he reckons) and— almost knocks over a table.

Whoops.]

[Oh... whoops! Chuchu stops right away.]

Y-you okay...?

[It's a good thing he manages to grab it before it topples over!]

Perfectly fine. [Look, he's even smiling! You know, as he rights the table.] Chuchu isn't-- dangerous, is she?
