[1 open prompt, party closed]

What: Time for a hang out with some lads that's also lowkey a birthday party. For two guys whose birthday it is not. You don't make the rules.
Warnings: nothing, this is a party for soft boys
[ GLAZED CUPCAKE FOR ALL; who are not lads or too old ]
Today is a special day, even though one could say it's technically not. But Tidus, as he does, has decided that today is the birthday of Taiki and Inigo, and this has led to a rather curious sight around the train... of the three boys carrying around vegan glazed cupcakes. With sprinkles.
Well, some of them with sprinkles. The others have names written on them by first time ice-name writers, which is sure to be a beautiful sight for those who receive them.
But before they may be close inspected, there's a call made by the guy in front of the trio: Tidus, using his forever loud mouth to make an announcement through every carriage they enter with people:
"Heeey-ey! Freshly made cupcakes for people who want 'em! Give Inigo and Taiki here a happy birthday and get a cupcake! It's their birthday present to the rest of the train!"
Compared to the blonde loudmouth, the two darker-haired boys look far more embarrassed.
( Note: Those with CR with Inigo and Taiki, expect a cupcake with the iced writing. )
[ LIKE LADS DO ]
"Heyyy, all you you-know-whos for the hang-out today, everything's ready! Not birthday-boys, it's your time to make an appearance!"
Tidus's enthused voice cuts through the ICPs with a sly playfulness, and those that the message is for will know where to go, though perhaps not expecting what they see once they get there. The meeting spot is in Meeting Room C, the comfier of the hire rooms, with sofas, beanbags, a table and cabinets, a TV mounted on the wall and a comfiest not promised in any other part of the train. But all of this? Is currently sitting upon a mountain top, with the view of a tepuis - a flat-topped mountain - in the distance, a lake of clouds between them and it. Mt. Roraima is the mountain, for those from Earths who know their mountains, but don't worry: all of this is coming from one of the holo-projectors procured from the last mission. Alas, maybe the room has some nice air conditioning to complete the effect anyway?
On the tables a plenty of FOOD has been set out, and to start off with, the non-baking variety: miniature chicken pot pies, veggie and bird pasties the size of golfballs, loaves of bread sliced with butter on a dish with a few variety of spreads to choose from. Spring rolls were an option, vegetable steamed buns, as well as the san choy bows, in either mince or mushrooms. Meats skewered with simple herbing, strawberries and cheese too; siu mais with pork and tofu and dipping sauces - though, those were available for all of the dishes.
But let's be real: what kind of party would this be - and for Inigo - if not with sweets? Old-fashioned gyngerbrede, rysschews, dragon's beard candies (of cotton candy around nuts); donated by Dennis, brownies, sugar cookies, and funfettis, with strawberry and vanilla icings. There's a popcorn mix bowl donated by Roland, and juices and wines cover the drinks, with the wines offered by Senku and Gen.
"Thank the Sizhuis, Gen, Senku, and Dennis for helping with the cooking! Couldn't have done all this without them - it was a lot!"
Thanks guys. And through all this MUSIC plays from the speakers, a mix of cultures to go along with the clash being represented here. From more the times of kings and queens, to sounds with a more Eastern influence, and perhaps familiar to some of the company around. But also, those who know music will be very much encouraged to bring their own instruments to give a solo (or more?!) if they will. Tidus will insist, at least before the day - we're looking at you, OG Sizhui and Quatre. And anyone else willing to surprise them.
Because we're all here for some...
[ FUN & GAMES ]
"So some of us know each other, but some of us don't! Let's get to know each other a lil' more, huh? I made flashcards - pick a topic you like, and share it! C'mon! I wanna hear what everyone has to share."
Tidus, ever the voluntary host for the not!birthday boys, also sets out the flashcards - literally just cards where he has handwritten the same topics on the same card, so people get to choose than be forced into a topic they don't like. And these are...
There's also another activity. The main table is cleared, finger food sat on top of cabinets, the fridge, wherever they can be placed to make space.
"Alright," Tidus says with a laugh, "time for more sugar, but we've gotta work for it. Come to the table, we've got a pot here and spoons, and a book for ideas. Sorry Seto, I took a few of your cards for this too!"
What is this? The pot holds a quantity of melted sugar, the spoons nearby to ladle it. And the activity is...sugar painting, where everyone is encouraged to make what they like. An animal? Their name? A fancy symbol? There's a book filled with earth animals available, as well as a few cards borrowed from the games carriage. It's ok, we'll put them back at the end of the day.
Have fun, see if you can get it anywhere close to recognisable. Sticks to press into the sugar designs to hold and offset spatulas to help peel them off from the table.
And why not suggest some fun of your own? Bring Your Own Game, bring your own chaos. Truth or dare? Never Have I Ever? Spin the bottle? Lads, we're getting wild here.
[ IT'S NOT A PARTY, IT'S AN INTIMATE GET-TOGETHER ]
The environment has 'changed' from the high altitude to somewhere closer to ground: a flower field, the flowers multiple and far expanding. The strings from the music player are soothing, and Tidus speaks up, far from unusual as he has every other time:
"Okkay now, it's the special moment! I know we've had a lot of sugar as-is, but one last time! To the not-so-very birthday boys...!"
Tidus comes to the table, sets his hands on the surface, and from his arms bands - but to the viewer, from nowhere - appears a vegan carrot traybake, with a few candles set in. He's taken a lighter from the kitchen and starts to light them up, explaining as he does:
"Someone told me that where they're from, you put candles on a birthday cake and the birthday guys make a wish when they blow them out. Sooo...!"
He turns to the pair of theparty intimate get-together, grinning.
"You ready?"
There's sure to be plenty of leftovers for this party, but that's fine - people will be encouraged to take some, even to share it with their own friends.
(please, there's so much food. so much)

There's a pause on Inigo's end.
He's probably trying to figure out where she's going with this - because Della is always going somewhere with this! - but can't quite reach a conclusion.
So he just frowns, slowly saying: "Erm.. well, it means that I can relied on.."
no subject
no subject
.. it helps that the concept of being an adult isn't as strict in medieval fantasy times as it is in modern times.. Drinking age, what drinking age!
"Seriously, Della. If you heard about all the things I did back home.. You too would say that I've already been an adult for practically forever!"
no subject
"If you've got stories, why are you holding back on 'em?"
no subject
Which is the exact reason why Inigo pauses for a moment, rather than replying right away to what Della is saying. There's some careful consideration to be had about which stories he can tell Della without it ruining the mood..
"Alright, alright, I will gladly tell you the adventures of Inigo the Brave!" .. Hm, maybe a bit too much, he's almost sounding like Owain now, he thinks.. "Did you know about that one time I got rid of an entire group of bandits all by myself, just to save a lovely girl?"
no subject
It's a hard maybe.
no subject
Hang in there, Della! You're not getting those details that easily!
"Why am I supposed to tell the whole tale if it isn't even guaranteed that you'll treat me as an adult afterwards?!"
no subject
Della is unfamiliar with the concept of shame.
no subject
....
Look at Inigo considering this for a moment as he's looking at Della. He's slowly starting to look more and more puppy-like with each moment.
"Will you tell me I did well?"
Puppy needs are so easily met.
no subject
"I will tell you did a fantastic, amazing job."
no subject
Inigo's cheeks light up a little. A puppy ready for headpats.
"O-Okay! What details do you want first?!"
no subject
no subject
Look how excited he is to tell this story now he knows what reward lies in wait for him at the end. His grin is practically spreading from ear to ear.
"There were bandits holing themselves up inside of the Great Gate-- that's like a fort," he clarifies, realising most people here know absolutely nothing about his world's geography. "At least twenty of them! But they were troubling this nearby village that just had the cutest fair maiden, so I knew I had to get rid of them so I could win her heart!"
Inigo laughs. "Of course she was worried for my safety, but.. little did she know that twenty bandits or so is nothing to me!"
no subject
"So, you were almost literally her knight in shining armor! Perfect set-up!"
no subject
"So I just went ahead and stormed straight into the gate! Of course I didn't fear those bandits, even though they were awaiting me there, armed to the teeth! But I just took out my sword and started swinging it around!"
He's making swinging motions with his arms now.
Which isn't the best idea, considering he's still very much carrying a tray of cupcakes here. Be strong, cupcakes.. Don't fall..
"One by one they fell! They didn't stand a chance against my might!"
no subject
"Oh man, all twenty? Daaaang, Inigo! I wish I could have seen it for myself, I bet you were pulling all kinds of cool moves!"
no subject
Just look at these cool air sword moves. Isn't he the coolest, Della? The most amazing?
"And then for the final blow, I got the biggest one like--"
He makes an extra dramatic sword move..
.. but indeed, there the cupcakes go! The whole tray flies up into the air.. Can you truly catch all of those cupcakes at once before they hit the ground, Della?!
no subject
She then lands on both feet, proudly holding up the tray with its saved goodies.
"And that's how it's done!"
... Except for one she missed, which lands right on her face. SPLAT.
She blinks a bit, then tries to lick around her beak. "Oops."
no subject
Inigo stares at Della.
More specifically, he stares at that cupcake that's definitely on Della's face right now.
".. Della, how did the cupcakes get there?"
He didn't even realise, as caught up in his little story and performance as he was.
no subject
"So, you get any kind of reward for saving the day, besides glory?"
no subject
"Ah.. not really." There it goes. His confident act is deflating as Inigo is rapidly brought down to reality, starting to look progressively more awkward and disappointed with each moment. "That girl ended up rejecting me."
no subject
"Oh, Inigo, don't you see why? That girl knew you were too good for her! After such an amazing display of skills, she knew she'd only be a burden on you! She had to hurt your heart to make sure you wouldn't stick around and merely settle for her, when you deserve someone so much better! A real person worthy of you!"
Yeah, it's exaggeration, but it's well-meaning exaggeration.
no subject
Because Inigo stops for a moment, his downcast gaze moving up to carefully - almost shyly - glance over at Della. Now here's some true puppy eyes in total contrast with his cool act from a few moments ago.
".. you really think so, Della?"
He looks like he might be about to cry. He sniffs a little.
no subject
And then with a playful smirk, because she can't help it. "... And then I'll have to thoroughly investigate and interrogate her to make sure she's worthy of you. I won't show any mercy."
no subject
Someone getting the full wrath of Della's interrogation cast over them. They'll never survive.
Though that isn't Inigo's foremost concern here. He glances to the left and the right, like he's trying to make sure no one is paying too much attention to this conversation and therefore can't overhear it, before leaning a bit closer.
And whispering.
"Would it also be okay if it was.. erm, a guy, rather than a girl..?"
