[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)

[ Please, Inigo. Don't enable this kind of behaviour with other people. Just let poor Yugi live. ]
We didn't have most of the sweets on the train back home, so I have no clue if I could've eaten this much of it back when I was younger.. But probably not, right? I was much tinier back then, it just wouldn't have fit into me! But I think the sky's the limit for us now we're older! [ He grins happily. ]
no subject
[Said with a smile at least. But he laughed slightly. He could at least see the point of what he was saying.]
I guess so. I mean I could probably eat quite a lot. Probably not the size of me amount now, but a decent amount.
no subject
But rather than focusing on that, Inigo decides to tackle another part of what the other guy is saying, asking with a smile: ]
Oh? Who would you want to share it with, huh?
no subject
My boyfriend, Seto, and all my friends.
[That is a lot of people we would want to share with.]
I mean... Seto might not like sweet things, but I still would want to.
no subject
[ That's how that sort of thing is supposed to work, right? It's what Inigo felt like too, back when he was actually still dating someone. And sure, he's aware that he's a little sappier than most, but he's pretty sure even Kaiba's got to have some sort of soft core down there if he's actually dating. ]
no subject
[Because he was honestly curious and it seemed like a sweet idea to try sometime.]
What about you? Do you have anyone who'd you want to share these with?
no subject
But Inigo smiles when that question is asked of him. ]
Well, I guess with my friends too. I sure don't have a boyfriend to share them with, but I know plenty of friendly faces on the train, and I'm sure they'd love to have some. [ That's why he was handing out cupcakes earlier today to all of his friends, after all. ]
no subject
[He seemed really happy about that for some reason, but Yugi was always a sucker for friends so odds were that was the reason for it.]
And I'm sure they'll love it to.
no subject
[ That they have plenty of people to share it with. Inigo isn't an exception in that - but he smiles all the same, because it is a nice sentiment. Even if Inigo isn't particularly sappy for friendship, he is a very sappy guy in general, so of course over this as well. ]
With how many of us are here, and how small the space we're stuck in is.. I don't think there's anyone here who's all alone.
no subject
[It was nice to be able to get some alone time now and again after all, though for Yugi it was not for the reason others might think at the time.]
While it's good to be social, it's also good to have moments to yourself or to have a moment with someone your close to. While we do have the Quiet carriages people still use them often and I think they made a lab in one too...
no subject
Sure, sure. Most people need time alone. [ Inigo not so much, but.. you know. He's well aware that he's an exception on this scale, considering his attachment issues. He has the entirely opposite problem. ]
But there's a difference between having some alone time and always being alone. The latter just seems way too sad to me.
no subject
[So he knew of the differences and Yugi himself was happy to always have someone around because of his own reasons to be fair, but he likes to understand others too.]
Sometimes people just like being alone and that's technically a reason to.
