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!]

it's pretty different from the first series!

All our house rules make sense! I mean, Katara and grandpa always give reasons for the things I haveta do and the things they havta do, so there's nothing that doesn't make sense, y'know? I'm not allowed to work the oven alone 'cause I'm not old enough and it's dangerous.

[ Wow, did you even have to ask? Ikki beams and accepts half of the cookie. Marco, you're spoiling her. ] Thanks!!!!

It's still awesome though B)

[fierybluebird]

[Nods along with her explanation. Look at her go. Best little kid.]

But someday you'll be bigger and then you'll learn how to use the oven more, eh?

I LOVED IT.

[breezing]

Yeah!! For now, I just help out with what I can help with when we make dinner!

Katara does most of our cooking. [ ...that one experiment where she didn't cook was the WORST. ]

I WOULD ASSUME XDDDD I can't wait to catch up XD

[fierybluebird]

Is she good at it?

Ace and I usually trade off whose turn it is. [You might wonder how a bird can do that... but whatever, he's not explaining.]

[breezing]

Oh, definitely! Katara's the best cook. [ Ikki does pause there for a second. ] Well, my mommy can cook well, too! But anyway, Katara knows a lot of recipes. Because half of my family eats meat and half doesn't, you know?

I can make simple things!! [ ...She actually just pictures him with an apron in the kitchen. As a bird.

It is a pretty amazing picture. ]

[fierybluebird]

I do know! Ace likes to eat lots of meat, but I try not to, because I'm a zoan. So we're the same way in my family. [Although Marco will eat fish and not count it as meat. Because One Piece.]

What kind of things are your favorite to cook? [He will never disillusion this mental image and someday purposely pose like that for a picture for her. Because he is just that awesome.]

[breezing]

All airbenders are vegetarians. Well, all air nomads, too! It's part of our culture. [ She's perfectly cheerful about this, too. Although Ikki...doesn't really care when other people eat meat, probably because of her multicultural background. ]

I think dumplings?? Oooooh, or cookies! [ Next month, the answer will be candy apples and Marco will probably get some. ]

[fierybluebird]

So it's not a digestion restriction? More of a choice? [Birdie head tilt!]

[And another birdie grin.] Both of those sound fun! If you want and if Katara and the others will let you, maybe we can cook together sometime, eh?

[breezing]

It's part of our beliefs, so I guess it's a choice? [ THINGS SHE HAS NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT TOO HARD: this. ]

Oh! I can ask them when I get home tonight!

[fierybluebird]

I see. I'll keep that in mind, eh.

You will? Okay! Let me know sometime if you're ever bored or lonely and want to cook okay? And I'll call you sometimes to bake too!

[breezing]

It's just grandpa and me at home who have that, though! And Uncle Sokka REALLY likes meat...

[ That earns him a pretty big grin. ] Okay! I definitely will!!! Oh, and you should meet Katara sometime, too!

[fierybluebird]

Sounds like me and Ace. And then Sabo is somewhere in between.

Aye? Okay, I will! She sounds fun.

[breezing]

She really is!!! She's a waterbender and works at the clinic and she's really smart and nice and funny!!!!

[fierybluebird]

Clinic, eh? So she's a doctor? Or is she a healer? Or a nurse?

[Nurses are scarier. At least if they're badass enough to be Whitebeard nurses.]

[breezing]

She's a healer! Waterbending can be used to heal.

[fierybluebird]

What, seriously? That's a strong talent, eh?

[breezing]

Yeah! It is. She also learned about other kinds of medicine from Trafalgar.

[fierybluebird]

She must be really brilliant too then, eh? Doctors are always really respected by pirates. [Nod!]

[breezing]

Yeah! She's really really smart! I love her a lot.

[fierybluebird]

I'm glad. Nothing's more important than family, eh.

[breezing]

Absolutely not!!!!
