[In the Gym: Open]

Even though Tony has cut back on his busy schedule, he still is sparring some and doing yoga often. It's not the relentless every single day at precisely certain times. The yoga, he attempts to do by himself now but given the number of people on board, that's pretty impossible.

(So come bug him while he's doing the warrior pose or using a practice sword!)

[Science lesson in standard car!: Open]

Since a little before the new arrivals, Tony has had several classes each week on both science and math topics. He's juggling a variety of skill levels, but Peter is his helper in most classes to go help anyone who needs it. Today, Tony decides to have a demonstration of suspending an egg between water and vinegar and breathing fire. He uses some charcoal for chalk and uses the front wall of the standard car as his chalkboard. When the demonstrations are over, he assigns some worksheets for practice. However, he also provides cookies.

(Bug him afterward about the demonstrations, cookies, whatever)

[19: Evening, Happy Birthday Ignis! (Invitation to ALL BLUE team plus- Reigen, Raven, and anyone close to Ignis (you know who you are and I can't think atm)]

Ignis had thought he was planning a dinner party with just Madoka and Tony. Of course, he didn't think Tony had remembered his birthday and he's the King of Extra, clearly this meant they should throw a surprise party. (Yes, another one). He didn't know what cake to make for a chef like Ignis, so he went with what Mady liked best, since that would most likely make his partner just as or even more pleased. So they had white icing with sprinkles and pink, strawberry, triple layered cake.

Tony had some of the kids help make party hats and confetti and got everyone who was attending into the dining car while he went to get the unaware birthday boy in the kitchen.

[A compromise, Day 20: Bucky, Ignis, Tony and Yuffie.]

Tony was a little skeptical of this approach, but he was willing to give it a try. He had a small bundle wrapped in paper in one hand when he arrived at the quiet car to await the teenager. He looked at the other two men with a sigh.

"Do we really have to do this?" He whined at Ignis, knowing full well what the answer would be.

[OTA: Just make up something and start it. I'm game!]

[P.S. For those observant types, Tony's hand is now missing the wedding ring he has had since coming here.]

Comments

[faithfulsupport]

He couldn't even express how happy he was that Tony had gone through so much trouble to get this party arranged and all of that. And to see members of his 'family' (aka the Blue Team) meant the world to him. Being their leader and council member was fine, but he missed the lads back home and they had been a family. So that was a carryover that Ignis tried to bring to his own team here in this place.

Hearing that Romeo didn't have a birthday was a little disappointing but he would have to collaborate something. Not having a special day set aside wouldn't do. And then an idea hit him.

"After the birthday celebrations, how about we go 'round to the Blue Team members and make a sort of calendar so we can celebrate their days and no one gets left out?" A pause. "We'll have to do that with new team members as they come aboard of course."

[myblueskies]

Romeo nodded with a huge grin, "That's a really good idea!" Then everyone would have a day to have cake and be with friends!

"I don't think many people got months like here, I never heard of month Domino before..." But he doesn't know many things. "So they might not know when their birthday is here," Ignis had clearly figured it out. Maybe month Domino was a month on his world too! "So we might just need to give people days!"

[faithfulsupport]

"Nor have I, but we have to figure out something." It'd give him the perfect excuse to have the team around more besides the missions. There was only one member who might not be happy with a day for cake, but Ignis already had a way around that small matter.

There was another smile. "We could always do just that."

[myblueskies]

Romeo smiled and then had an idea! "Because it uses the letters we could do it by our names! So my name begins with a R sound so when we get to the month that begins with R we can celebrate my day. And we can celebrate Madoka's on the month that begins with M!"

That seemed like a good way to do things!

[faithfulsupport]

He pondered the thought and gave it some consideration for a moment.

"That could certainly be a good idea." Another thought hit him. " I wonder how it would be best to set about collecting our intel..it shouldn't prove too difficult. "

[myblueskies]

"We can just ask everybody!" He nodded, "And if we do it by their names it's even easier because we already know the letters!"

[faithfulsupport]

"We should probably organize it by teams. That might help us to organize our data faster I would think."

Well here they were plotting together and Ignis had a thought.

"Let's start our project soon then?"

[myblueskies]

"We will sir! We can do it team by team and ask everyone!"

He nodded, glad that they had a plan. But for now it was Ignis' birthday!

"I hope you have a really good party sir!"

[faithfulsupport]

"Then it's settled." Well that wasn't too hard to do.

Ignis smiled at the 'sir' and wondered if Romeo would ever stop saying it. It was endearing of course, just like with Madoka calling him Mister Ignis..well until recently that was.

"Thank you, and please feel free to enjoy yourself, there's plenty here with the excellent job Tony and Madoka did."

[myblueskies]

"I will! See you soon sir!"

He grinned and skipped off, to have fun at this party!
