DECEMBER 2ND, birthday armageddon action mingle

[parodeity]

So, anyone in the entertainment room area come December 2nd will be subjected to a ridiculous clash of colors and decorations. While the only advertisement was word-of-mouth, it's a six-way birthday party although none of the guests of honor seem to care if people actually celebrate their birthdays; it's possible to just come by for cake and/or random hangouts. The room seems to be divvied up into six pie slices with decorations, with a table in the middle with six cakes. The slices are kind of variable but easy enough to match up to their respective "owner": Jade's is neon green paired with white decoration-wise and seems to mostly be dog themed, although there's also more glitter in her slice than anywhere else; Jake's is less neon green paired with black and the collective Dave-and-Rose decoration committee apparently decided skulls was as good a theme as anything; Dave's is red and black and records although also just really dumb sbahj drawings which tbh have infected the other slices aside from Rose's; Dirk's is orange-and-white and robots; Rose's is purple-and-black and wizards and octopi; Roxy's is pink-and-white and cats and wizards. None of the decorations really seem intended to mesh with any other slices' decorations at all?

The cakes are equally mismatched, although some of them work together. Jade got a Bec-head shaped cake; Jake got another...skull...THEY TRIED, OKAY JAKE; Dave elected himself for hella jeff; Dirk got assigned sweet bro because Rose couldn't convince Dave to Not; Rose herself got a very disturbing octopus tentacle thing, what the fuck Rose; and Roxy got a cat.

There are like six pinatas in various colors and some party games and a movie marathon that seems to have literally no theme beyond being chosen by Dave and Rose and therefore the theme might actually be "what movie will annoy my sibling most" back and forth. So there's. Just a super variety of stuff there. And there's music which Dave seems to have been in control of, although most of it is lowkey so that's nice???

Sorry if you wanted to do something in this room related to not this hot mess today, BUT AT LEAST THEY'RE NOT DOING SIX SEPARATE PARTIES??? Also there are party hats in the colors of each slice (with a dumb paper crown in slice colors for each birthday kid) so pick your poison. There's a generic and very messy "HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY" banner so apparently it's just. 6 17s? Nice.

[ Like everyone else, Dirk gets a hug and seventeen smooches. Once she's finished showering him with physical affection, she offers him a rectangular package, wrapped in orange wrapping paper and topped with a clashing, giant monstrosity of a pink bow. Inside is this book, and inside the book itself is a card that reads:

sup dirk
happy birthday palebro! 🎉🎉
not just any palebro but THE BEST palebro a gal could ask for
i love you so much + i hope u have the best b-day of ur life
cuz u deserve it 😘
love,
roxy <3

PS turn card overways

When he turns it over, he'll see that it isn't a card at all. The note happens to be scrawled on the back of a photo of a DNA sequencing chart, labeled "hornse 🐴" in her trademark pink. So, he probably knows now what he's getting for Christmas, but that's okay. The book makes much more sense this way. ]

[Okay so Dirk wants to give Roxy her present and actually he's happy to do this when he's been working on it all this time but then he gets the book and it's horse books which is great and then he finds the card and it's sweet and then he turns over the card and








holy shit.]

You're getting me a pony.

[ Roxy gives him another cheek smooch, and smiles knowingly. Secrets are definitely afoot. ]

Happy Birthday, Dirk.

[splinten]

Holy shit.

[Dirk hugs Roxy because he doesn't even know, what the hell.]

[voidkatini]

[ She's just happy he's happy. That was the goal, so. Mission Accomplished!! She hugs him back warmly, snickering softly against his ear. ]

Soon you'll be able to galloop away with English into the sunset.

I'm reasonably confident that that particular cinematic cliche is entirely his.

[AND YET he'd totally do it that's stupid and he loves stupid things. Dirk pulls back only after a while, and only after giving her hair a ruffle.]

You ready for your gift, Ro-Lal?

[voidkatini]

Awwwwww, you didn't have to get me anything, Dirk.

[ But of course he did, and she considers herself very lucky to have the opportunity to celebrate all these birthdays in person. Nothing will ever beat the gift that is her family, yo. ]

[Dirk takes a box out of his sylladex and hands it to Roxy. She does not, however, get a chance to open it, because the moment it's in her hands, something from inside the books shoots out lasers to burn a hole through the top of the box. Out from the top of the box bounces X-Men Kitty: adorably dressed and wearing a cyclops visor, as well as an extremely adorable version of the X-Men suit.]

I assumed that if I was going to build you something to stand guard over you when I can't, it would have to be at least half my level of adorable as hell.

[Of course he says it in his monotone. But X-Men Kitty seems very friendly, very attached to Roxy, and very much willing to hang out with her and do whatever she needs to to make sure Roxy is ok. Even if she has to wander to the Void, Kitty will watch and try to keep her safe!]
