Birthday Hogs
WHO: Hedgehaus and friends
WHAT: Birthday Party
WHEN: Hedgehog Birthday Weekend
WHERE: Hedgehaus
WARNINGS: A stupid amount of chili dogs. PROBABLY FEELINGS? Listen, some people have personhood issues. Maybe Boomdow.
Sonic new it was around his Birthday. Vaguely. Move around planets enough and its hard to track the date, he had a birthday not too far from when he arrived on Earth. So the BEarthday was very fitting. And, well, Shadow woke up from cyro the same day or day after, so Sonic figured he could share it with his Shadow.
But also explaining that to people would be weird, and telling WAY too much, and also Primedow and SonIDW had their birthdays around the same time and that's why the banners say Birthday.
Sonic was nothing, if not stupidly sentimental. He knew he was throwing a party for his Shadow because he deserved it and well, he isn't going to just ignore the others. Maybe talk about a week of celebration or something for next year.
The beauty of superspeed though is he can set up a party FAST. He just has to make sure Big Blue is busy upstairs for a few minutes and BOOM, party is set up.
First and foremost, the party is an explosion of color. Why? Sonic promised Primedow and SonIDW pride flags and he delivered. There are rainbows and all sorts of other flags scattered across the yard, on the walls, and over the first floor. He's even got balloons over pride flag colors.
There was a banner that said 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHADOWS AND SONICS!' Hand painted, so its a bit messy, and made with blue, red, and black.
There is SO much food. Most of it is cake and chilidogs. Mostly because Sonic knows how much Sonics can pack away, and other people should get to enjoy these foods. There is even a variety in the cake flavors! Chocolate, white, strawberry, even lemon.
There is also coffee beans. Just....just straight coffee beans.
And some chocolate covered espresso beans, and Tiramisu. Less of that, but still plenty. And burgers for those who think hotdogs are beneath them or something.
There is also fruit salad, and guacamole with chips for those who want something kind of healthy.
There is a table labeled GIFTs and a sign. 'Be sure you indicate WHICH Shadow or Sonic. Fluffy are the younger ones.'
The party activities are scattered in the yard and the first floor of the house. Its nothing too over the top, beyond the color explosion. There is music for outside hanging out, some dancing. There is also a television for people to play video games on. (There will be DDR at some point, thanks Eva.)
Inside, there is a large stack of DVDs to watch movies inside.
There are board games on the dining room table for people to play those.
There is also a sign at the stairs to the second floor. 'RESIDENTS ONLY. If someone is upstairs, you leave them alone, even if they're one of the Birthday Boys! Any non-resident attempting to go upstairs if not accompanied by a resident will be swiftly removed.' (He figures he should account for social batteries. Especially for his Shadow and Maria. Sometimes you need a space to retreat away from people.)
((Feel free to mingle!!!))

Arrival
Its a rare food that doesn't require WAITING.
no subject
"Sonic! Happy Birthday buddy! Geez it looks like someone barfed rainbows all over your lawn!" The psychokinetic laughed. "In here too actually..." He lifted the plate in his hand with a nod. "Everything tastes great! I've never had....what did you call it? Guac?" He sounded the word a couple of times, chuckling again. "Hah, that word is fun to say..."
no subject
But he feels the sudden tension, squeezing his shoulder and pulling away.
He's still too shy on his touchiness to commit when he sees a negative reaction. At least without being prepared for it.
He expects it from Shadows, so its easier to tamp down the insecurity.
"Oh yeah, that was me. I promised Sonic and Shadow pride flags months ago, and I had to make good on it," he said. "Plus they're fun! Feel free to take some if you want."
He laughs. "It is! I really like that word. A+ final word, I would say," he said. "Its mostly avocado, but its pretty good."
no subject
He munched on another chip with some guac on it. "Mm. The fruit salad is amazing too." He ate each morsel of food almost carefully. Not wanting to waste a single crumb (or get any on the furniture). Being able to have access to clean food and water was a precious gift and it was one the young survivalist never took for granted. His eyes twinkled at Sonic's laughter. It appeared he also liked the word guac too. It was so funny how much he felt such a connection to this Sonic from another dimension. Silver felt they could almost be brothers by how well they clicked.
"Thanks so much for inviting me, Sonic." He said finally with a small smile. Though there was a flicker of embarrassment too. "I'm not used to parties and I've never been to a birthday one before." He sighed, quills drooping a little. "I didn't know people bring gifts to these and I didn't bring any and here you are letting me eat amazing food and letting me have a colorful flag. I'm so sorry!" He didn't think he was in trouble per se, but he still felt a little bad about it.
no subject
"Its good to have fruits and veggies. For the health conscious. And you know, tastes good," he said. "Even if not as good as chilidogs." He has his priorities. "You're free to take some with you. I wanted people to have plenty."
Because he gets what its like to be food insecure. It took months for him to be okay with food waste. (And okay, maybe he overcompensated for that one party of two while Tom and Maddie were in Hawaii, but he was dealing with separation anxiety. Going full party mode mess was his attempt at coping instead of going on a spiral if they were going to just decide to stay in Hawaii.) "Only as much as you want though, Sonic and I will work through the leftovers way before anything goes bad."
Speed takes a lot of fuel. But he didn't want Silver to take more than he could eat on his own because he was worried about it going bad.
"Hey, hey, its no worries," Sonic said, reaching over to pat his shoulder. "Turn those quills up. Just being here is enough. Its nice to see people care and want to spent time with us, especially since this was a little last minute. I don't think any of us are that fussed about presents. Sonic and older Shadow didn't even know I was doing this, and my Shadow is less used to presents than me, so really any presents are just a nice surprise."
