Time to live it up in here!

[hiken_ace]

Who: Anyone!
What: Marco's surprise birthday party.
When: October 6th, in the afternoon.
Where: Community Housing 3, Room 40
Summary: It's Marco's birthday. Ace planned a party. Need I say more?
Rating: Uh, PG? Since there will be pirates here, I'm hoping not to go above PG-13. PLAY NICE, KIDS.
[Ace wasn't going to go overboard on the decorating. In fact, he had to leave a lot of it up to everyone else since his injuries prevent quite a bit of movement. But soon enough, there were a decent amount of streamers up, and a nice big banner that says "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCO". He had to work extra hard to get the cake to look just right. The cake is surrounded by the presents, and there's a few separate tables for food and drinks. Fruit punch for everyone, and some alcohol for the adults and pirates.

Come on, people, this is a party. Let's live it up a little! And don't forget to embarrass congratulate the birthday pirate. Feel free to leave your own comment below, just for mingling, or just doing something silly, or giving Marco your present! Have at!]

[After Party -- Troll away Shanks, troll away]

[fierybluebird]

[Marco heads up to the roof himself to get a moment away from the party, a smoke, and share some rum with his Pops' memorial.]

[Which is when he notices Shanks, much to his surprise.]

Oi, hadn't expected you up here, eh? [Not that he minds. Though being a little tipsy still, helps. That said, he fumbles over his words trying to piece out the next part.] I wouldn't take you for the type to get bored with the noise.

[Before in Luceti, Shanks had made a habit of going to the rooftop to find Marco when necessary, but since Shanks didn't seem to remember Luceti, Marco doubted he'd remember that. Not that he minded either, just a small curiosity.]

[tibias]

[ he looks over his shoulder and gives marco a small smile. ]

I didn't get bored. I thought there was probably only so much of me you could stand in one night.

[ still, he shifts so marco can come sit by him if he wants. he's not going to turn down company from drunken marco if he offers it. ]

B)

[fierybluebird]

[He grabs a seat next to Shanks almost leaning back to back.]

I don't always hate you, eh?

[Laughs teasingly.] I just have to be drunk to do it. [That's a joke and a lie, hopefully Shanks catches it.]

[tibias]

[ he laughs at that before taking a drink. ] You're going to regret saying that in the morning.

[fierybluebird]

Why, planning on getting me drunk from now on? My girlfriend might suspect you're up to something.

[Oh were you going to troll him? Too late, he's preempting your attempts. Which is bound to backfire.]

[tibias]

Of course not. I would never do something like that!

[ he's not actually planning on that, but just saying that straight out is no fun. so he's acting like he is, in fact, planing to get marco drunk on a regular basis. ]

[fierybluebird]

You can try.

[But he only gets drunk on special occasions you know. Also stop stealing his deadpan shtick. What, they reversed now that Marco's the drunk one? There are secrets of the universe being unlocked by this...]

But braver men than you have tried and failed. [Well, maybe not braver such as "more idiotic" but close enough. Look at Marco, making it sound like some grand epic quest.]

[tibias]

[ oh, well that just makes him smirk. ]

That almost sounds like a challenge. If I didn't know better, I'd think you might be baiting me.

[fierybluebird]

And what makes you so sure I'm not?

[He is still quite drunk after all.]

[tibias]

Oh, you very well may be now, but you'll take it back when you're sober.

[fierybluebird]

I am totally sober. If I was drunk I'd be doing the funky chicken and showing off how to walk in high heels to Ace. Because he can't do it right, eh?

[tibias]

The fact that you know how to walk properly in high heels is slightly worrying, Marco.

[fierybluebird]

Trap-chan said no brother of his was going to embarrass him without even knowing how to handle heels.

[Nods.]

Besides, it's not that hard. They help tone calves. Supposedly.

[tibias]

Supposedly.

[ a beat ]

So did you enjoy your party?

[fierybluebird]

[Switches into phoenix and curls up a little in a happy fluff ball.]

Yes.

[Says nothing of missing certain people nor of fighting with Ace beforehand, nope.]

Ace and I were talking about making this place more like home and that was the only thing that could do it I think.

[tibias]

[ a-awww phoenix puff ball. how cute. ]

Then I'm glad I could help.

[fierybluebird]

[He's not cute! He's ferocious.]

Ah... thank you too then. [Tsun!glances away! He hadn't realized Shanks helped set it up, but he probably should have, of course. Change of subject to a more serious note; despite being a little drunk.]

How are you handling Luceti so far then, eh?
