[ota] happy (belated) birthday

[at_heart]

WHO: Yuri, Flynn, and YOU!
WHAT: Flynn's birthday and maybe an engagement party, depends on how badly Yuri freaks out sjldkfjs
WHEN: Early/mid June
WHERE: A park near Flynn's apartment
WARNINGS: Nothing unless you actually ask why this party got delayed,

[ So, about a week into June, you might get a quick text message. ]

Sorry about the short notice but
Any chance you could make it to a birthday party sometime this week?
Should've been the 22nd but well
Kind of lost track of time

[ When you actually show up to the park near Flynn's one-bedroom apartment, you'll know where the party is right away: chains of wildflowers string trees together around the clearing, and there's a big buffet table covered with lots of (clearly labeled for different dietary needs) food. The recipes definitely lean Japanese, and most of it's handmade, but there's also a selection of storebought snacks still in their wrappers for some reason. ]


((ooc: Do you have CR with Yuri or Flynn? Are you a friend of someone with CR? Can you rationalize why your character might've been in the neighborhood to hear the sounds of a party going down? ;) Then come on in.

Gifts are optional. Lower Quarter birthdays have always been more about the people than the things!))

I'm okay. It's been a while since I saw you last, so I'm glad you're here.

[He turns to grab a plate himself and a few pieces of salmon nigiri.]

Yuri and Judith did a great job on the food as well. I wanted to cook, but they wouldn't let me.

[Gee. Wonder why that is, Flynn?]

[nihilmancy]

Indeed. Well met.

[ She gives a little bow, though it's less out of manners than just a way to engage the conversation. ]

Well, the day is for you, is it not?

[bravestknight]

I'm not used to having this kind of attention, actually.

[He had kept things small after entering the knights for a reason. He didn't want to burden anyone, but the sheer amount of people here was nice to see.

Yuri had really outdone himself.]

Did you end up getting to pet a little bunny after all on your own?

[nihilmancy]

I'm inclined to agree with you, though there is sometimes little choice in the matter.

[ She shrugs, but gives a small smile. She probably wouldn't want a party this big for herself. ]

That sounds dirty.

[bravestknight]

What? No it doesn't.

[He considers for a second.]

Maybe to someone who didn't see us feed the moon bunnies together.

[nihilmancy]

Oh, Flynn. I get a lot of bunny.

[ She snickers. ]

Just kidding. [ She isn't though. ] I did pet a couple of them. And I made dessert out of the leftovers.

[bravestknight]

[At that he looks confused and tips his head slightly, but then he gets it, cheeks flushed.]

Well that's good.

[When she changes the flow of the conversation, he's grateful.]

What type of dessert did you make?

[nihilmancy]

[ She grins smugly at having pushed his button. ]

What I said. I topped it with powdered sugar, chopped nuts, and some cinnamon. I had it with morning coffee.

[bravestknight]

[He's going to pretend he didn't see how smug she was after she embarrassed him.]

Oh, I bet it was nice for a few days after. I'm glad you found a use for them.

[He probably should have brought back some of it for Yuri after all.]

[nihilmancy]

Mm. You're the one who grew up with him, yes?

[ Not an awkward topic change at all. ]

[bravestknight]

With Yuri? Yes. We've been together since I was about five?

[He counts on his fingers, then nods.]
