MHA #10; Ssaturday Evening [04/16] - GxG Birthday Bash!

It had taken a bit to get there, but the whirlwind of Summer's burst of party planning was finally coming to frution. There had been the flyers, of course, some good radio coverage, and the ubitquitously handwaved mass text, so hopefully people knew about it enough to show up. Especially since a lot of work had been put into making Goose's apartment party ready. For one thing, it actually had furniture, plenty of sofas and ottomans for the guests to sit, arranged to also allow for a lot of standing and gathering room (and, yes, yes, for all the wall flowers, a few meticulously curated shadowy corners, you're welcome. But most of the decor attention would probably be put into the magic work Summer had Margo and Eliot do.

With the faint scent of rose and mint in the air, the entire ceiling was cloaked in the vastness of outer space. But not just any space, because, in Summer's experience, space was actually kind of boring, so they pumped it up, they amped the colors, they filled it with a ton of glitter (of course). Distant planets and swirls of galaxies and pulsating quasars dotted the starscape in swatches of pink and purple and green, some glowing bright with neon. Shooting stars would occasionally trail overhead and across the walls, leaving behind a dusting of color and glitter and occasionally a message that called out "Happy Birthday, Goose!" with another message trailing behind it that read "(And Gladio, too!)". Occsionally, the starscape would seem to swell a little and expand, so that, on occasion, it would feel as though you weren't just looking at it, but almost being surrounded by space until it moved on.

The spare bedroom had been converted into a karaoke room, there was a jello table and a tended bar set up, with an ice luge embedded with neon lights, and a keg all dolled up to look like a container of Cup Noodle. And speaking of Cup Noodle, don't anyone forget Cup Noodle gift bags! There's plenty for everyone, at a table by the door, so you can help yourself to that excellent tote filled with some of the most random (and pretty moddable) chintzy Cup Noodle junk Summer could find on cheap Chinese websites (the real highlights, though, robably being the slippers and the candle).

The kitchen, of course, was dedicated to be the haven of Ignis, who staunchly refused to do anything Cup Noodle related for his food offerings, which, if you asked Summer, were a bit much for a party where she was hoping everyone would be quickly too drunk to care about what they were putting in their mouths, but, hey, you do you, Specs.

She'd even hired a bouncer, mostly for raccoons, but also for students, let's be real, and since she usually hired Gladio for that position, putting in Billy this time around seemed like the obvious choice, and she was even being very, very good about not just calling him Wish Gladio or Walmart Gladio or Budget Gladio tonight.

And, just like that, this party was ready to get started!

“It still feels a bit weird actually celebrating my birthday, it’s my first birthday party,” Goose told her her, “but I suppose that just means I can make up for 20 birthday parties in one night,” he said with a grin because someone had a problem with understanding that there such things as limits. “It’s nice to meet you as well Steph, I don’t mind which one you want to call me, there are a few people here who do prefer to call me Shane but I’m fine with either one,

"I'll go with Goose if you're fine with it," Steph decided. "Though... maybe spread those 20 birthday parties out over a few nights instead? Make 'em last a little longer."

Limits were a good thing!

Goose blinked and tilted his head, that idea had definitely not occurred to him before.

"I didn't even think of that possibility," he realised but he had been rather nervous about the idea of even having a birthday party so he wasn't thinking much beyond that, "I do quite like that idea," he considered.

"I may be biased, but it's a good one," Steph said cheerfully. "Take your time and enjoy them, you know?"

Please keep in mind, this was a woman whose ideal form of entertainment came in four-hour-long episodes.
