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.

[ Hmm. She thinks about it for a moment. ]

I guess there wouldn't be. I mean, air's always just...air. [ She shrugs. ] But there's probably a lot that can be done with air alone.

I think so! I mean, I wouldn't want to be an anything bender other than what I am...even if there's more types we know about for the others. Maybe I can figure some out on my own!!

Do you have magic, Fenimore?

[ She grins a little. ] Maybe you will.

[ But as for that question: ] I guess you could call it that. But...I can't really do much with it, compared to some of the people with it.

What do you mean by that? Is your magic different?

Well.... [She thinks about this.] I guess it's not really that different than some of the magic I've heard about around here -- or, at least, not any more different than there is a difference between the different kinds of magic. It's just that I never really thought of it as magic before. Magic's supposed to be something that people can't normally do, and most of the people I grew up around could use eres if they really wanted to.

Eres...what's that like? I mean, what does it do?

It's, uh. [How to describe this?] Well, erens -- I mean, people who use eres -- their fingernails glow and then...for most people, they just focus the energy around them and make things happen, like -- making fireballs appear from the sky, or ice rising up from the ground. That's crystal eres. And some people they, well, can make themselves stronger and such. We call those kinds of eres iron eres. ...Something like that.

So...you have magical fingernails?

[ She appears to think about this for a moment. ]

I guess you could say that.

[ She glances this way and that. Hmm. It's pretty public, but she's already said this much and it doesn't look like anyone is looking at them right now. And, really, around here, magical powers are probably relatively innocuous. ]

I can show you at least that much. Here.

[ She crouches down to Ikki's level and holds her hands in front of her so that Ikki can see them, but they're mostly shielded from others on the beach. She closes her eyes and begins to concentrate.

Nothing happens.

Well, at least for the first few seconds. Eyes still closed, she looks annoyed and shakes her hands back and forth at the wrists. A couple of seconds after that, and her fingertips begin to glow dully, like a flashlight on low battery. ]

[ Ikki's quiet as she watches - it's a habit ingrained in her from years of airbending training. While she's normally loud and talkative, she'll usually quiet down for demonstrations, at least the first time through. She watches with that sort of quiet and patience, with her usual energy still beneath the surface, temporarily cooled.

When nothing happens, she continues to wait, although she fidgets, and then...

There's a gasp when Fenimore's fingertips begin to glow, and Ikki leans closer, curious but not touching. ]

...That's so pretty!!

[ Fenimore is impressed by Ikki's patience. She's pretty sure that, at Ikki's age, she would have made some comment when it didn't seem to be working. ]

It is, isn't it? [ Her fingertips dim a little when she loses concentration, but they brighten again. ] I won't be able to show what can be done with them at the moment. Crystal erens need to use eres stones, and I don't have any right now. But...well, at least it is pretty.

Eres stones...I think that it's enough that it's pretty, though!!

[ She grins, crossing her arms. ]

I mean...I can't do that. I think it looks really neat!

[ Fenimore grins back. ]

Thanks, Ikki. I guess that is pretty good on its own. Although I'm sure you can do some pretty neat things that I can't do, either.

Well, I can airbend...and I can draw!

[ like a seven year old ]
