Birthday Hogs

[sonic_wachowski]

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.)

You really take care of him, don't you? I bet it makes him happy.

[sonic_wachowski]

[The blushing is going to continue.]

[And maybe another few chirps.]

I try. Someone has to, until he's used to it. [Sonic, this is absolutely going to give away who it is-]

[Like he isn't obvious.]

I'm pretty sure if he hated it, he would have made that clear. He usually only indulges things so long if he's neutral on it, so I think he has to like it a little.

[roundandaround]

[oh he's so obvious]

Then I bet there's no problem. And Ellipsa's a really nice place, so I bet he'll feel a lot better here than where he was before.

[sonic_wachowski]

It is a nice place! Don't even need to pretend to be in costume or nothing just to go shopping, I could only do that in Green Hills.

[BEING. OBVIOUS THERE SONIC.]

Like, okay, could do without the rando vampire attacks, but eh, pros and cons and takes away the stress from home.

[A beat.]

Their home.

[Which is definitely not his home or nothing!]

[roundandaround]

[Rinku giggles. But when he mentions the vampire attacks, she frowns.]

Yeah, there's some bad stuff here. Like the gangs, and those vampire guys. There are way better ways to get blood than attacking people! They tried to grab my friend in the middle of helping some civilians, and I tried to talk them into a deal. If they got to bite me too, then they said they wouldn't drain Frieda-chan.

[Rinku's hand goes to a bite scar on the side of her neck.]

Except they drained her anyway. Even after I told them a bunch of other ways they could get what they needed.

[Granted, among those was "if you want to kidnap and bite people so badly, then just set up a Sinder profile like normal people."]

[sonic_wachowski]

You would think there's better options. Like blood banks are a thing. And they don't even seem to need to worry about blood type.

[A pause.] Oh. I should actually get some blood frozen. At least there are other Sonic's to have a handy amount on hand, I should talk to them about that. [When you! Are the only hedgehog on Earth! And your mom worries about your activities, kind of need to have your own blood on ice for Emergencies.]

But that is really rude! Like! There's a lot of blood in people and how much do they even need?

Also like...

People are super into vampires.

That is just either malicious or really stupid.

[A pause.] You okay?

[roundandaround]

Right! I told them that! If you wanna kidnap people and bite them so bad, just make a Sinder profile like everyone else!

[...Well, she's definitely Evangeline's family.

Rinku grumbles a little.]

I'm okay. I just feel bad about Frieda-chan.

[sonic_wachowski]

Did Frieda recover all right?

[roundandaround]

They turn you when they drain you, so now she's stuck being a vampire. I'm trying to help her out a bunch, but I feel bad that she can't go out in the sun anymore.
