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!]

Oh, you should! And if you have a favorite dish, I'm sure he can make it for you if you ask.

[Vivi begins to head over to a couch so she can start in on that cake. As she walks, it occurs to her that a little warning may be in order, especially considering how shy Ran Fan seems to be. Sanji could definitely come on a little way too strong when it concerned the fairer sex, and she doesn't want Ran Fan to be uncomfortable.]

Ah. He can be a little...much sometimes when it comes to pretty girls, so don't be surprised. If it makes you uncomfortable... [Vivi sits, balancing her plate on one knee.] Rather, if he sees it makes you uncomfortable, I'm sure he'll dial it down, but if you'd like, I could accompany you sometime so you can meet him? [She'll keep him in line for you, Ran Fan.]

[This is slightly confusing. Ran Fan really doesn't consider herself to be a pretty girl, so there shouldn't be any problem.]

I should be fine, but your company is always welcomed. [Cause FRIEND!]

[alabastajewel]

[Well, yes, she'll be fine, but if Vivi knew Ran Fan didn't consider herself pretty, she'd be sure to set her straight. She doesn't though, but she's glad the girl seems to have taken her up on her offer.] All right! Soon, then.

[And pauses to finally spear the first bite of cake, chewing slowly to savor the taste.] Mmm.

[oftheyin]

[Ran Fan doesn't consider herself ugly! Just not pretty. She doesn't consider herself anything because it's nothing she thinks about.]

It is good then?

[alabastajewel]

Delicious. Are you sure you don't want to try just a bite?

[oftheyin]

[Cue blushing....]

Maybe just a small one. [But really, not a fan of sweets. Vivi just made it sound really good.]

[alabastajewel]

[Vivi smiles and offers Ran Fan her fork so she can take as small a bite as she wants. Don't worry, she doesn't have cooties.]

[oftheyin]

[Ok. Sharing. Yeah. People do this. Ran Fan can do this.

Ran Fan takes Vivi's fork and takes a bite. Yeah, too sweet for Ran Fan's liking, but good. She smiles weakly before handing back the fork.]

It is good. Do cakes usually taste like this? [Yup. First time having cake.]

[alabastajewel]

[Vivi smiles.] It really depends on the cake. Some are sweeter, and some are less. Maybe you might prefer a spice cake, or a dark chocolate cake that's a little more bitter.

[oftheyin]

Maybe. I will have to give them a try.
