seasonsrpg | happy birthday, how much more can you take?

WHO: Rinku, Evangeline, everyone who knows the latter even a little
WHAT: Evangeline birthday party number 1: The SFW One
WHEN: February 8
WHERE: Shining Karaoke
WARNINGS: None so far, this is the clean party.

Rinku had booked out the biggest room at the karaoke bar for the entire night. Everyone who had so much as an acquaintanceship with Evangeline was invited, so it might get a little crowded even so. The machines had just been updated with songs from all over, allowing everyone to sing whatever they wanted – though maybe holding off on the inappropriate ones would be good, at least while the kids were awake.

Pizza had been trucked in, many different kinds. Of course they had plenty of pepperoni mushroom, the birthday girl’s favourite, but Rinku had also ordered everything from cheese to spinach feta to spicy pepper, shrimp and mayo, dill pickle, and a heavy, topping-laden one just labelled ALL. If there’s one you want, it’s probably there. Drinks were available to order from the bar, including all kinds of non-alcoholic options. Cake and ice cream also came in by request; the cake is a large chocolate one with an abstract creature that the cake decorator clearly thought constituted a “cool monster” on it.

Karaoke, discussion, food, presents at a table at the room door... what else did a party need?

[Giggling. Rinku's so cute.]

Having a smaller unit's probably best, anyway, so you can be really good friends with everyone.

Yeah! Though working with other units to make one big one can be a lot of fun! I told you about that time we sang at Virtual D4FES and had to save the world and give Pumina-chan feelings, right? That was... okay, LMO and Call of Artemis couldn't follow us into the portal, so it was HapiAra, PKPK, Photon, Merm4id, RONDO, Lyrilily... oh, and UniChØrd and Abyssmare, of course, Neo-chan was awake by then and the whole thing started with them... and if there's four people in each of our units then...

[Rinku counts on her fingers, gives up, and starts scribbling on a napkin, apparently struggling with grade 4 math.]

Thirty-two people! And we each had a part in the song! ...It turned out really long.

Okay, well, I think special occasions like saving the world, everyone gets to participate in. That's different from regular performances.

Ehe. It was fun, though. And we did a big group song for New Year's once too! That was six units, so we couldn't all fit on the stage...

How'd you work it out if you couldn't all fit?

We each nominated someone to be on the stage, which ended up being all the leaders, so me, Kyouko-chan, Saki-chan, Rika-chan, Tsubaki-chan, and Miyu-chan. And then everyone else was grouped up in other places, like up on platforms and the rafters!

Huh, that makes sense. It does sound like it was pretty cool, even if it would be impractical to do more than once every so often.

Yeah, it was a ton of fun! And we got to stay out late and perform at a nightclub, even! That New Year's was really exciting... I think the Music Club's live was pretty good too, though.
