Summary: Rei is getting a surprise birthday party!
Rating: PG


Helios had done all he could to make sure Rei was out long enough from the shrine to setup for what was indeed her birthday. With some help from her friends and close acquaintances Helios had decorated the shrine in some lights and lanterns for the occasion. It was nothing too outrageous because he knew Rei was a more subtle person, so the decorations are few but meaningful.

Birthdays are good for starting fresh, and spring is a time for letting go of the past and starting anew. The lanterns symbolize that but also help with the festivities. Even if its a small affair Helios puts a lot of hard work into it because of how helpful Rei has been these past few weeks. So to help ease out of the terrible feelings since the draft and to celebrate the birthday of a good friend Helios will invite whoever is close to the young woman.


((ooc; For the sake of not hurting my hands trying to juggle both a post and a log I'm just going to handwave Helios putting up the announcement over the journals to help set things up for Rei's party. If you're character is a close acquaintance/friend of Rei's they're more than welcome to stop by!))

Hmm, I guess. Even my sister and her weird friend don't always get along.

[geniustheveil]

But even then, they're close, aren't they? [That's something it took her awhile to learn. At first, she was always afraid even those small arguments would mean the end to the friendship itself. Gradually, she learned it wasn't like that.]

[cuteisawayoflife]

From what I remember they've been inseparable since day one.

[geniustheveil]

Do you have friends like that, too? [That's... a slightly tactless question, but Quinn has always seemed so popular and well-liked.]

[cuteisawayoflife]

I...I guess? [Sometimes. On a good day, if Sandi's in a good mood. And of course, Stacy...]

[geniustheveil]

You must have made friends since coming here, too.

[cuteisawayoflife]

Well, one... [She thinks of Bulla and Jeb, and smiles.]

[geniustheveil]

I've made some friends, too. I think that's more important than the drafts, or experiments.

[cuteisawayoflife]

It is. [Jeb is a good kid, someone who likes people for who they are. And Bulla...she has so much in common with her, but it feels more real. More genuine.]
