WHO: Any and all friends of Masaomi/anyone who happens to be on the beach! Invitations would’ve gone out via a (handwaved) secret entry or word of mouth.
WHAT: Masaomi’s birthday party, planned by Shikamaru-Gold-Ikki.
WHEN: Wednesday, June 19th.
WHERE: The beach!
SUMMARY: BEACH BIRTHDAY BASH. It’s pretty simple.
RATING: B FOR BIRTHDAY.

So after being reminded about Masaomi’s birthday, Gold came up with a much better idea than Shikamaru’s (lame) sit-down dinner! Therefore welcome to an all-dayish surprise beach birthday party! There are tables for presents and food, there is music (chosen by the boys, not by Ikki), and there is a sand castle city, complete with sandscrapers, which is what Gold put Ikki in charge of. The sand castle city has gotten a little out of hand because of this.

So stop by, wish Masaomi a happy birthday, and HAVE FUN. While there are three topic threads, FEEL FREE AND ENCOURAGED to just throw up your character at the party below that/anywhere, as per always.

[Hinata was oddly curious about the things that a person like Masaomi would find lacking in his life. Every time she saw him, he always seemed so pleased, so jovial, that to imagine him unhappy was difficult for her.]

I hope that you find what you are missing this year then, Kida-kun. And that young lady seems ready to be your friend for life. Is she...is she related to Aang-san by chance?

[Friend for life, huh. And what he's missing...? His eyes glance around, looking to see if a certain woman's in the area. But he doesn't let it drift too long, instead he just focuses on Ikki and Soren and-]

His granddaughter, actually.

[She noticed him looking around, and it made something inside of her relax. It seemed that there was someone that he liked more than her or the other women running around the village.

She found that she liked him a little more because of it.

However, when he said that the little girl was Aang's granddaughter, she had to stop and think about how that was even possible.]

Is she...is she taken from some future of his then?

More than fifty years in his future. I forget how many... sixty? Seventy? Something like that.

[And man was it unfair. To both of them. But Ikki appreciated it, to meet the grandfather she'd never known, so his own perceptions weren't valid, he supposes]

[Hinata watched the little girl move around happily, wishing she'd been that free as a child. It was bittersweet watching the dark-haired girl as she bounced around in the sand.

If only Neji had realized that he wasn't the only one caged in by their clan's expectations earlier, he would have seen how terribly unhappy Hinata had been as a child.]

It is enviable to watch her. She seems to be full of fun and sunlight, much more than myself, even though that is what my name means.

Careful, you'll sound jealous of a seven year old if you say any more, Hinata-chan. That wouldn't be becoming.

[Wry. Very wry, all things considered]

To have a grandfather like Aang-san? Yes, I am a little jealous. [She gives him a smile that is bright but doesn't reach her eyes.] I am sure that it will pass soon.

Except he's younger than both of us.

[He says this lightly, drumming his fingers once on the table before making an abrupt move to try to surprise put his arm around her shoulders. And lean in on her face, cutting this moment off]

As the police of "becoming" though, now I need to punish you!

[His sudden action has thrown her off and she is much too shocked to throw him off.] W-what?

[And with a wide step towards the ocean!]

We're going swimming, that's what!

[He's almost dragged her completely to the water before she can react. The first thing she does is shove him away from her as quickly as she can.] N-no. I am fine. Thank you. I am sorry.

[In spite of himself and in spite of knowing what ninja can do, he's surprised by the force she musters. Wow, she must be good at hand to hand.

Either way, he bounces back, smiles all around]

What?! Don't make me get my partner in on this, Hinata-chan!

[She gives him a quick bow but stays out of reach of him.]

I am sorry. I do not wish to ruin your party, Kida-kun, but I have no desire to go into the water.

Why not? Can't swim?

I...I can. [She was trying very hard not to embarrass herself here.] Just not very well.

[As he speaks, his arms are making gestures - as usually, but at the end of these gestures are little hand motions. But before his next statement he whistles. His Pikachu hears that, and goes to make her way over. It'll be a bit, so-]

So let's only go waist deep!

[She watched him with a concerned look on her face as he moves his arms around. She could see no purpose for his actions and she wondered if he suffered from muscle spasms that would explain the strange behaviour.]

I-I will content myself with only walking at the water line, Kida-kun. However, I do not wish to keep you from enjoying your day. If you wish to swim, you should do so.

Eeeeh. But I'd love to have two beautiful ladies out here with me, Hinata-chan! It would make things so much better!

[And there she is, Linda! In all her Pikachu glory, coming up behind Hinata! ...Little does either of them know Hinata has eyes in the back of her head]

[Hinata does not have eyes in the back of her head, but her vision is nearly 360 degrees when her Byakugan is activated. And while her eyes are normal now, there is nothing wrong with her instincts or her hearing.

She can hear the rodent's paws as they strike the sand and she moves before it can get near her, ready for trouble.

She stops short when she sees the yellow thing with a tail shaped like a lightning bolt.]

What is that thing?

My extremely gorgeous partner, Linda!

[He said with a wide, proud, grin. Linda, for her part, stops there once Hinata's turned, preens, striking a pose to show how strong she is. Looking generally smug. Or as smug as a Pikachu can look]

[Hinata looks between the boy and the yellow rodent before shrugging. She didn't judge Kiba or Shino for their companions and she had no intention of starting with Masaomi.]</small. Does she do anything special?

Does she? Does she ever!

[Even if her birthright is still on the firtz because of... choices he made. Probably. He's still not sure he's figured out exactly why, but this long in the game they've done a work around for it - or worked on that. Masaomi motions for Linda to hop over- and she does.

in a Magnet Rise. So it's really more she generates a magnetic field around her and floats over to plop onto Masaomi's head]

[Okay, that was something completely unexpected. She comes a little closer to get a better look a the cute creature.] Is that normal for her?

Mmhm! It's a talent we picked up early and refined early, honestly.

[It's a bit harder without the electric stores she should normally have, but she can still manage the ambient around her well]

[Hinata gets closer and raises her hand before putting it back at her side once more.] May I...May I pet her? Does she like that?
