[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.

[She can't help but spare a glance up at the ceiling before she steps through the door, parts of her body entering the room in turns.]
Umm... Where should I put it? [The food tables had been fairly full the last time she looked.]
no subject
I'll clear you up a space. [ Just... shoving stuff aside on one of the tables with all the grace of a bull in a china shop; at least he didn't break anything. ] Put it down here, kiddo. There's one more thing I gotta add before you show it off.
[ is it time for kawaii it's time for kawaii ]
no subject
[Nanami's mutter is full of judgment, but she can't really deny he has a certain effective charm...like a big dog. Or a work horse. She sets the platter down on the newly cleared space, looking over her shoulder to see how many people in attendance have even noticed (not many, it looks like, and she feels a little flustered again).]
What do you have to do? Isn't it finished?
agh all these shay tags
Cakes aren't really my thing, but I made you a little somethin' to go on top. See?
[ He opens his hand, palm up, to show off the simple figure resting on it. He's no expert, and it shows, but the effort is well and truly there. ]
take every single tag
[Nanami would bend down until she was eye level with his hand, but...well, she already is. She cocks her head to the side frowning thoughtfully.]
What's that supposed to be?
je refuse
[ He wasn't expecting to have to explain himself. One hand goes up to rub at his head, and he glances between the figure and the cake. ]
Well, it's you, kiddo. [ Pointing out the blonde hair, then the blue eyes... ] See? It matches.
no subject
It's really... [She doesn't have a word to put in here, and for once not wanting to say negative she chances the direction of her sentence quickly.]
You made this?
I didn't know you could...[Do. Whatever this is.]
no subject
[ Which is readily apparent from the simple nature of the thing, but he feels he should make a point of it anyway. The stylistic choice wasn't entirely deliberate; even something so small had taken him a long time, and he wouldn't want to attempt it again. ]
Over in the Hold, there's a few shops with bits and pieces. I spend a while looking through 'em to find what I needed. All I had to do then was put it all together.
no subject
Nanami looks down at the ground out of the corner of her eyes.]
Well, where's it supposed to go after you're done cutting the cake?
no subject
[ Really now, Snow. He doesn't really expect Nanami to say yes, but he doesn't have a better idea, either. ]
You want it?
no subject
It's stupid to waste it, I guess. Didn't you spend money on it? It's not like anyone has a lot of that!
get out of my inbox
[ Not that money is important to him. He probably could have found something more refined, if he'd looked hard enough, but it wouldn't be the same, even if Nanami might feel differently. ]
But you can decide later, short stuff. You've got a crowd to please, and I've gotta go check on the food. [ Even at this later stage, it wouldn't do to run out of something. This whole party-managing thing isn't easy. ]
no subject
Make sure they know the cake is here! What good is it if no one can see it?
[After Snow seems to have turned away, she wraps the figurine in a napkin and tucks in into her clutch.]
