[OPEN] insert generic birthday song because nobody bought the happy birthday rights
Date and Time: August 8th, evening
Location: The Nora Cafe
Characters: Nanami Kiryuu and YOU(???) also Snow Villiers, Oerba Yun Fang, Tsubomi Hanasaki, Rise Kujikawa...all may make an appearance.
Summary: It's a party! A birthday party, precisely. Nanami wants to enforce the no-entry-without-a-gift rule, but that fell through pretty quickly.
After arrangements were made, her network post would have been updated with details. If your character would have seen it, consider it an open invitation!
Feel free to start your own threads, tag other people, hop around! There's food and some kind of cafe entertainment and Nanami will be weaving in and out. Starters are prose but bracket it up too if you want!
Rating and Warnings: G/PG probably; none I can think of.
A:
The decorations covering the cafe aren't nearly as tacky as they could have been, but there are a lot of them. The usual average (if slightly mismatched) tropical theme has been overwhelmed by streamers, balloons, and other traditional decorative trappings (those that can be found within the city, anyway).
If you're here now, congratulations! You arrived early enough for Nanami herself to make her arrival, and you've had time to scope out the food and cake situation.
This is the first of two grand entrances Nanami has planned for the evening. The second, providing Tsubomi hasn't turned everything into a burlap sack, will be the debut of her new one-of-a-kind dress. Feeling a lot better about her life and prospects (and nothing thinking at all about how horrible her not-birthday in Louisiana had turned out), and unsuspecting Nanami comes down from the back rooms and opens the door out into the cafe proper, mouth open to issue her greeting.
A cloud of confetti descends unexpectedly from nowhere, snowing down and building up on the top of her head like a salt pile. Snow's final decorative flourish.
Nanami freezes, then splutters out in surprise, blowing away a stream of confetti that somehow wound up stuck to her lips.
"Who did this?!"
Everything is ruined, for a moment.
B:
After the bad confetti idea has been done away with and cleaned up, there are still hours of partying to be had. There's food laid out at the bar and a cake (outsourced) to be brought in once things have gotten into full swing. Tacky party hats and other favors, while harder to come by than decorations in town, are also available.
It is, without the doubt, the least sophisticated party Nanami has ever attended or hosted.
As for the birthday girl herself, she can be found any number of places around the cafe. By now, she's cleaned most of the confetti from her blonde hair, but pieces of it still cling to her as if carrying the memories of happier birthdays past: a piece stuck to the her earlobe, glittery hearts nestled into her braid where she couldn't spot them in the mirror. In one hand she carries a tiny plate of assorted finger foods, and will occasionally lift something with a toothpick to scrutinize it.
She's a decent hostess, when she can be, so she'll probably get around to most people while making her rounds - providing she's not approached first.

A and omg sorry for the late... >_>
[Rise hurriedly rushes over to her roommate's side after the confetti hits. Normally, she'd think it was kind of a cute gesture, something fun they could laugh over later. But she sees the look on Nanami's face. It's not a cute gesture to her, it's an embarrassment. And that can't be tolerated on someone's birthday!]
I'm so sorry! I swear, I didn't know anything about this!!!
[And she'll just... immediately set to fussing over Nanami. Brushing confetti off of her clothes and out of her hair. If she can fix this soon, maybe Nanami can enjoy the rest of the party...? Hopefully, Snow hasn't set up any other surprises for later...]
it's ok!!
[It's the first thing she can find the words to say, still flustered and mortified from the "surprise." She folds her arms across her abdomen as Rise brushes her off, not doing
What if Rise was just trying to sabotage her from the beginning? What if that was why she stepped up to the opportunity so easily? She'd sure come out of this looking a lot better, if she'd done something like that.]
You would have told me if you had known, wouldn't you?
no subject
[Rise's just as mortified as Nanami is. Partially because she can tell how upset this made her. But also because dear GOD, Snow, what made you think this was a good idea?!]
Of course I would have! We could've... brought you in through a side entrance... or something.
[She just keeps fussing over Nanami as she talks, trying to get every last bit of confetti she can see. For once, her complete disregard for personal space might be working in Nanami's favor.]
Just... let me know if there's anything I can do, okay?
[She's absolutely determined to make this better. Nobody's going to completely ruin Nanami's party if she has anything to say about it!]
no subject
[She stands still for the majority of Rise brushing her off, looking out around her at the assembled guests - checking, perhaps, to see if anyone else is staring.]
Hurry up! [Her temper is getting shorter now that she's given the embarrassment time to sink in. The hairs on Nanami's arms stand up like the static is going to defend her, somehow.]
no subject
... Okay, I think I got everything!
[She says as she picks the last few she can see out of Nanami's hair. She probably missed a piece or two somewhere, but most of it is off of Nanami and on the floor! ... And on Rise, of course. But she doesn't mind going into the back and taking care of that later. The important thing was to salvage Nanami's party first and foremost!]
no subject
[Nanami is musing revenge in the best way she knows how, thinking not of the business Snow might lose by serving sabotaged food but the laughter that he'll have targeting him when that happens.
She's still musing when Rise finished cleaning her up, musing with her hand on her chin instead of thanking her.]
I probably need you to do something else for me.
no subject
[She didn't think Nanami was serious at all about putting something in Snow's ingredients. But after finishing up with the confetti, she gives Nanami a curious look at what she says next.]
... What's that?
[She's not quite agreeing to it just yet, but... she really does want Nanami's party to go smoothly. So she'll at least hear her out.]
no subject
Very intent, Nanami leans closer to Rise and drops her voice to a whisper that will carry under the din of people socializing (everyone else, it seems, has already moved on from her humiliation).]
You work here, right? You could tell me what the most popular food here is?
I usually just get milkshakes... [As dry and paltry as they always end up tasting.] But you see what people get all the time!
no subject
Um... let's see...
[Rise lists off a few of the most popular items. Probably things like Chocoburgers or something else that sounds ridiculous, because Snow's menu.]
That's all I can think of. Why?
[She still isn't giving any thought to the offhand mention of sabotage. But... she kind of understands if Nanami would want to get back at Snow somehow, after that stunt! It's just not something Rise would do. Normally. On her own behalf. She's kind of secretly thinking of things she could do for Nanami, though... not that she'll go through with any of them. Most likely.]
