[1 open prompt, party closed]
Who: THE LADS LADS LADS (1 prompt open to everyone on the train, rest is closed to lads night gang: Taiki, Inigo, Tidus, Lan Sizhui, Wen Sizhui, Dennis, Lea, Quatre, Senku, Gen, Seto, Yugi
Where: 1st prompt anywhere, the rest in fancy meeting room
When: Llama 18 (June 4-5)
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)

His throat feels tighter than usually, and he can't quite meet Della's eyes.
"No, he.. he didn't say a thing. He just walked away from me without saying anything." He releases a breath he didn't quite realise he was holding. "Not on the platform, I mean. Already before that. But it's.."
He shakes his head. "It's already a long time ago now. It doesn't matter."
no subject
She places the tray of cupcakes aside so he knows she has his full attention, and she tries to touch both of his arms, since she can't quite reach his cheeks.
"Inigo, look at me. No matter how good he was to you before, he did NOT have the right to simply walk away without explaining anything. How could you possibly know you did anything wrong if he didn't bother to say it? If there was a problem, he was running away from it instead of trying to fix it. If he wanted to break up because of something on his end, he should have talked you through it so you both came out okay. Instead? He hurt you, badly, and personally? I'll never forgive him for that."
If he won't be mad at the ex, then she'll just be mad for him.
"I know you might be thinking I'm only saying that to try and make you feel better, or because we're friends, but honestly? I would say that to anyone, because no one deserves to be treated that way. You are not only worthy of love, but of respect, too. Your partner should be giving you both."
no subject
And the word themselves are hard to accept to. No matter how much he might whine on a surface level about things being unfair, deep down Inigo always has trouble with seeing things as a slight towards him, instead wanting to assume other people have their reasons.
It's made this whole deal really difficult.
".. Thank you for saying all of that, Della." He at least wants to acknowledge as much. Anything else wouldn't be fair. But at the same time.. "It's.. such a long time ago now though. Nothing can be done about it anymore."
no subject
She pats his arms and lets him go, taking the cupcake tray and offering it back to him.
"Sorry about bumming you out before your big party with the guys."
no subject
Inigo shakes his head, trying to shake off the feeling - quite literally - and instead smile at her.
"It's fine, I'm not bummed at all!" Not the total truth, but.. look, the last thing he wants to do is make Della feel guilty! "I'm just.."
He pauses, slowly down his speech now. It makes it sound a bit more genuine.
".. just glad you got your cupcake. You deserve it for everything."
no subject
"Thanks for making it. I'll let you get to partying - though if I were you? I'd stay away from Truth or Dare." A playful wink, a slap on the arm, before she starts to head off. "Or anything involving keeping a poker face..."
