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 ]]

"True," Stark said with a grin. "For birthdays. I just don't usually have any gatherings of my own."

He hadn't really had this one either, he'd just bought a few supplies and given over the use of his apartment to the woman best left in charge.

“Not all of us have grand ballrooms,” Watts acknowledged. “But that doesn’t mean one can’t host a get-together now and then, should you ever wish to,” he added, a briefly melancholic look flitting across his face for just a moment.

"I wouldn't know what to do with all that space," Stark said. "Sometimes I still don't know what to do with the space I have. It's so much more than I ever had before I was here. Or when I was first here. And I've still never even tried to have a party on my own. Or even something that wasn't really a party."

"What's stopping you from trying?" Watts asked.

"Myself," Stark said with a shrug.

There were so many people better at parties than he was and he didn't have any real reason to throw one. "Maybe I will, someday."

“I would attend,” Watts offered. “And I cannot speak for Steven but I find it likely he would as well.”

"Thank you," Stark told him. "That's good to know if I ever do decide to try something."

"You're welcome," Watts said easily. "You're having a nice time today?"

"I am," Stark said. "I have friends and I have cupcakes and what more would I want from a birthday party?"

He also had Summer giving him the party. That was huge.

"The cupcakes were very good," Watts agreed.

Sadly they were not pocket-friendly.

Cupcakes were traditionally not a pocket snack. Alas.

"I'm glad you liked them," Stark said. "They're one of my favorite things, you know."
