It's a Birthday Bash

[funnygirl]

Who: Anyone and everyone!
What: Beast's surprise birthday party.
When: January 17, noon.
Where: House 17
Summary: Belle is throwing Beast a surprise birthday party and the whole village is invited.
Rating: PG?

Belle wakes up early in the morning with a rush of excitement. Today is the day she's been preparing for all week. All she can do now is send Beast off for the morning and hope that the volunteers who agreed to help would be able to show up after all.

Quickly, she makes up a list of chores for Beast to do around the village that would be sure to keep him busy until the party is set up. Once he's out the door she begins taking out the decorations she's collected and sets them out where they can be seen. After that, she consults Helios' cookbook and makes preparations to start making the cake.

The tables are set up with foods and drinks of all kinds. Grab a bite to eat or just stand around and mingle!

Buffet Table

[not_a_troll]

[Loki chooses to stand around instead of doing the mingling-thing. Don't worry, he replaced some of the drinks with vinegar.

He's got this.

And in the meanwhile he is enjoying a piece of pie.]

[funnygirl]

[Belle comes by the buffet table to re-fresh a few of the snack bowls. While doing that she spots Little Loki and goes over to greet him.]

Hello! I'm so glad you came.

[not_a_troll]

[Loki is already busy with his second piece of pie when Belle approaches him.]

Thank you.

[He nods shortly.]

I do think that this day of birth can use more everything. Like balloons, and silly string and melodies.

[Always buffet for Hermes. He'd probably be here even if he wasn't invited--but hey, princess are supposed to be around talking animals. He's only following convention by hoarding up the food adn relocating it into his stomach.]

[While reaching out for another square, Beast snatches his paw back in reflex as soon as it touches something not warm and creamy but cold and slimy. When he turns his head to see it was... oh mon Dieu what is that?! Is it a guest or is it some kind of illness trying to spoil the food?]

[eightlazylegs]

[Hermes automatically recoils at the strange touch, sliding over to the end of the table. The food, of course, comes with him.]

What are? [He's snapped to a confused sickly yellow, but he's not running just yet. If bears can be people then maybe this is also people and thus not worth the effort of fleeing.]

[tailasoldastime]

[He shrinks back even more when he sees this wobbly thing move and... where did the food go? Why is it turning yellow what is this even doing here?]

I-i-it's d-disgusting! [He says it loud enough in the hopes that someone will hear him and be able to do something about it, looking around frantically to see if anyone did. Not noticing much difference, he opens his mouth to repeat what he...

Wait, did it just talk?]

H... huh?

[tailasoldastime]

[If anyone is wanting to see or talk to Beast, the buffet table as always is the likely place to find him. For most of the party, he will be standing near the edge of it, picking some of the little goodies here and there while he stares in amazement at the number of people who had come.

This is much bigger than last year's party, and many of which he does not even know. Yet they're all here for him... and it was all thanks to Belle. Belle. He didn't think she cared that much... he could've seen a special dinner, maybe? But a party from her? That's too much to handle. So he's just going to keep on standing here giving everyone shy, slightly-embarrassed sideways glances.]

[puubuu]

[A familiar round puffy thing is sitting on the edge of the buffet table. He hops up and down excitedly and babbles at Beast, not really noticing how nervous Beast looks at his own party.]

Puu buu! Puu buu! Happy Buuday, Beast!

[tailasoldastime]

[He flinches sharply when he spots something out of the corner of his eye - it's not another strange creature is it?! - oh no it's just his penpal.]

O-oh, th... th-thank you, uh... Fat... ty... cakes. [And is that name ever awkward to say out loud.]

[puubuu]

Puu! You're welcome! Are you having a good time? [Well, Fattycakes is kind of ignoring the obvious, isn't he.]

[tailasoldastime]

[He is quite relieved of that, really.]

I-I, yes. It is a really... wonderful... party.

[funnygirl]

[With so many people to entertain, it's well into the party before Belle realizes that Beast is hiding out by the buffet table. When she finally tracks him down she tries to get him to introduce himself around to people.]

Beast, really. This party is for you. The least you can do is greet to guests.

[tailasoldastime]

[Upon hearing Belle, his initial instinct is to just shrink into the corner more.]

I... I, uh... h-hello... Belle.

[ofwesternwinds]

[Well, Rudy definitely showed up! And hey, you can't really show up to a party without wishing the honored person a happy birthday, right? Despite the number of people attending, it doesn't take too long to spot Beast at all. With a friendly wave, Rudy greets him.]

Hey, happy birthday.

[tailasoldastime]

H-hello... [Blink.] Rudy. [He is still amazed at just how many people came... even ones he hardly sees!]

Th... thank you.

[puubuu]

[Fattycakes has somehow gotten onto the buffet table for the sake of better access to the food and to be seen more easily than he would be on the ground. Now this is his kind of party! Food, festivities, friends... that's a party any Puffski could get behind!]
