MHA #8; Saturday Evening [01/13] - Stark's Birthday Party!

[somethingwithturquoise]

There had been a handful of oh-so-handwavey flyers popped into the most obvious spots, but Summer was relying heavily on the age-old method of massive group texting (and general word of mouth) to let everyone know about Stark's birthday party tonight at his apartment because it really was just going to be a super chill, lowkey, casual sort of fling this time around.

She'd spent the majority of her prep work in splashing the apartment with decorations (blue and gold and black again) and bmaking a variety of different jello shots in pie and cupcake and other dessert-like forms, so, needless to say, she definitely ordered out for the the cupcakes themselves.

Other snacks and drinks were also available and moddable, and there was also a very moddable but totally curated, for real, music playlist, and she'd even dusted off the karaoke machine from the GxG birthday party years ago and dragged that up, just in case anyone was feeling up to getting that going.

Definitely not exactly her best, most extravagant party, but, hey, not all parties could (or even should!) be epic. Sometimes, they could just be kind of quiet and cozy with a lot of cupcakes. Which just suited the birthday guy better anyway, really.

[[ open party is open! as always, feel free to mod having gotten a text, seen a flier, been told by Summers or squirrels or ghosts of parties past or just swing by to borrow a cup of sugar, i don't care, I'm not your boss ]]

Arrive & Mingle - Stark's Birthday Party, 01/13.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Because arriving and mingling is just what you do at a party, it's kind of the whole point.

Did Yukari know who Stark was? No. Did she recognize the number from which this information about this party was sent? Not even a little. Was that going to stop her from still crashing it ans having a good time? Absolutely not!

A random text from people you didn't know talking about parties right there in your own building could go one of two ways, and Yukari? Was definitely willing to take her chances!

"Hi!" Oh, well, this was a rare occurrence, a face she didn't recognize just wandering into one of her parties! And honestly? Summer loved to see it. "Thanks for coming, are you, like, new around here?"

At some point during the day there would be a text that would come in to Summer's phone for whenever she was able to get to it. Short and sweet it simply said:

"Hey Summer, sorry we can't make it to the party but please tell Stark 'Happy Birthday' from Cutter and me! I'm sure the party is gonna be epic!"

Summer had to smirk a little a Connor's message, shaking her head as she typed out her response:

if u wanna wish him a happy birthday just tell him yourself

It was followed by Stark's phone number, and then:

if there's any shots or cupcakes or whatever left over at the end of the night, u want me to bring some up for you and cutter?

Stark had personally invited them, so of course Prompto was going to stop by, even if the whole concept of 'hey, yeah, sure, bring your baby to this party held by Summer' felt a bit wild.

But actually? This was all pretty tame and tasteful, ans that karaoke machine might be calling his name, and it was a good chance to show off more of Noctra's cute outfits as he bounced her in his arms a little, pointing out all the shiny decorations and letting her know about how there were going to be all kinds of decorations like this, all for her, next month for her birthday!

She was clearly very excited. Or honestly just enchanted by sparkly.

Liz smiled as she watched Noctra in Prompto’s arms, “I think she’s enjoying herself,” she said fondly.

Re: Arrive & Mingle - Stark's Birthday Party, 01/13.

[somethingwithturquoise]

There was a baby. At a party. That she was throwing.

"I....don't know how I feel about this," she admitted, outloud, maybe kind of to Prompto, but also to the room as a whole.

Hey, Stark's birthday. Margo should probably make an appearance. And so there she was, wearing a cute purple dress with a matching eyepatch. Looking around for the booze.

Re: Arrive & Mingle - Stark's Birthday Party, 01/13.

[stykera]

Stark, for one, was glad she was making an appearance.

"Hello, Margo! It's good to see you."

After a long day of hauling boxes of books out of his soon-to-be-old apartment, Gladio had to admit, ducking in for Stark's birthday party for a drink or two sounded like a pretty good way to round out his Saturday, so don't mind if he did just that.

Re: Arrive & Mingle - Stark's Birthday Party, 01/13.

[pocketpretzels]

Watts - accompanied by Steven, of course who would ping in once his player had the chance - was not going to miss Stark’s birthday party, so here he was.

Re: Arrive & Mingle - Stark's Birthday Party, 01/13.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven of course wanted to wish Stark a happy birthday, and what better what to do it than in person? So there he was, looking around for the birthday alien himself so he could wish him many happy returns.

Re: Arrive & Mingle - Stark's Birthday Party, 01/13.

[special_rabbit]

Well, Stark was a friend, getting him a present was easy since she still had the mold for more quick masks, ans Summer running the thing meant some pretty decent free booze. Done, done, and done! Amaya was here to network for business celebrate!

Re: Arrive & Mingle - Stark's Birthday Party, 01/13.

[mylandmyrules]

Nell was a bit hesitant to go to one of Summer's parties because honestly Summer still scared her a bit, but Gladio had planned to stop in for a bit so she thought she'd come and wish Stark a happy birthday before heading home.

Re: Arrive & Mingle - Stark's Birthday Party, 01/13.

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

Jon was definitely going to drop by, because he didn't want to disappoint Summer. And he did actually like Stark, so he wanted to wish him a happy birthday.

So, here he was, coming up from downstairs, with a gift card to a bookshop, because he had no idea what Stark liked.

Well, of course Will was going to come out and celebrate his coworker. Employee.

Food and Drinks - Stark's Birthday Party, 01/13.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Well, aside from Arriving and Mingling, Eating and Drinking is a pretty big party staple, too, right? There are plenty of cupcakes and also dessert-shaped jello shots, but other things to munch and sip on as well, especially if anyone else bring something to contribute to the noshing.

Karaoke! And Maybe Other Things! - Stark's Birthday Party, 01/13.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Look, if you had a karaoke machine and a low-key party, then they just kind of went hand-in-hand, didn't they? So one corner of the little room is set up as a make-shift performance area, so get on up there and sing!

Or use this thread to get something else started, too, if you feel so inclined.

Re: Karaoke! And Maybe Other Things! - Stark's Birthday Party, 01/13.

[hashtag_chocobro]

There was a karaoke machine, and so Prompto was practically obligated to hand the kid over to Liz for a bit so that he could pop up there and do at least one song.

And, since he was on a big Lucius kick lately and they had some of their songs, he had to start with a little rendition of Turn it Around.

And he was hoping that Noctra, who had definitely heard him sing this song many a times in the kitchen when he was cooking, would recognize it and join in from the audience, and that kid did not disappoint on the backup vocals (even if she really needed to work on getting those lyrics).

The Birthday Alien - Stark's Birthday Party, 01/13.

[somethingwithturquoise]

And, of course, it's a birthday party, so the birthday person gets their own thread! Obviously, wait for him to ping in, but once he does, come on over and wish him a happy one.

Re: The Birthday Alien - Stark's Birthday Party, 01/13.

[stykera]

Kiss a Ginger Day was yesterday so please refrain from kissing the birthday boy as a general rule. Exceptions could be made, however!

Stark was there, cupcake in hand (probably). He was enjoying this, maybe even more than last year. It was less overwhelming than the surprise first birthday had been but still some attention.

Re: The Birthday Alien - Stark's Birthday Party, 01/13.

[special_rabbit]

"Hey, there, Stark!" Amaya's birthday greeting came with soft nudge of a fist against his shoulder. "Happy birthday!"

The Presents Table - Stark's Birthday Party, 01/13.

[somethingwithturquoise]

And, of course, any presents brought for Stark can be left here for him to open....whenever he wants to open them.
