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?

It's a surprise to me!

[A little sheepish. She understands that it's obvious to other people, but still.

She's glad to see Esme here, even if he's mostly been wallflowering.]


I definitely didn't have this many friends at home.
albionchanged: (My name is Esme.)

[personal profile] albionchanged 2025-02-16 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I get that. It's hard to feel like you've earned so many friends.

[She's got one up on him. He almost never understands what people see in him. But that's why it feels so obvious when it's other people.]

But you do. And it's very clear what a good time everyone's having because it's you. You can feel it...well, I can. Very strongly.
abnormalizes: (I have no hope)

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2025-02-16 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. That's... a lot. It's good! But it's a lot, feelings-wise.

I'm still kind of working on the self-love thing in general. -Max actually helped me with that, a while back, but it's still a work in progress.
albionchanged: (My name is Esme.)

[personal profile] albionchanged 2025-02-16 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Max is good at that. And I'm glad that you're working through feeling more love for yourself.

[He pauses for a beat.]

Though, I've been meaning to ask after a gift I can get for you by the way. I...didn't know what to bring.
abnormalizes: (it's the right time)

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2025-02-16 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Anything is fine really, I'm not picky? Books are always a good choice, I read a lot.
albionchanged: (Be careful who you swear around.)

[personal profile] albionchanged 2025-02-16 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know much of books. Is there one you've been wanting?

[He really wants to do this right. It's not often he gets to gift anyone things.]
abnormalizes: (she's all right she's all right)

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2025-02-16 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, usually anything in the paranormal romance section is good for me. I've been meaning to check out Her Soul to Take, I hear it's pretty popular recently?

>[she will not apologize for her tastes.]
albionchanged: (Rusty is right on this.)

[personal profile] albionchanged 2025-02-16 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, okay then I'll try to find that one for you.

[Esme's taste is "how much do I hope that we're good friends?" so he has no room to judge whatsoever.

Not that he would judge anyway.]
abnormalizes: (in a limousine)

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2025-02-16 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! You're sweet.

Are you going to sing something? You don't have to if you don't want to, but it's fun.
albionchanged: (Never had such a connection.)

[personal profile] albionchanged 2025-02-16 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I can. Would you like that?

[He's actually not anxious to sing or anything, but he doesn't want to make anyone else wait.]
abnormalizes: (you take me and I'll take you)

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2025-02-16 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I would! I want to hear you sing.
albionchanged: (Mask - Be careful who you swear around.)

[personal profile] albionchanged 2025-03-21 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you have a song you'd like? I don't know many of the new ones.

[The list of "new ones" is massive and he mostly knows ones that partners can duet.]
abnormalizes: (but it is only a matter of my fix)

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2025-03-22 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
A lot of my favorite songs aren't really kid-friendly... Oh! Do you know Livin' on a Prayer?

[Evangeline that's a really hard one to sing-]
albionchanged: (Mask - I don't understand...)

[personal profile] albionchanged 2025-03-22 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
No?

[He'll try it anyway if she wants though.]

Do you like that one a lot?
abnormalizes: (or at least I can't remember it)

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2025-03-22 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I do, it's a great song! I can try to find one you know though?
albionchanged: (Mask - The Devil you know...)

[personal profile] albionchanged 2025-03-22 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't really know any by name. But the words are on a screen, right?
abnormalizes: ((the girl's a super freak))

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2025-03-23 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
They are. You could totally do this, I have faith in you.
