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.

You can get things cat-shaped?

[Deadpan sarcasm and he

suddenly has a cake in his hand!]

Here.

[There's a plate and fork and everything. My aren't we civilized.

(He flashstepped to do it because Adrien seemed to really want the cake, and flashstepping cake to Adrien is a literal party trick. Can't pass that up.)]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Ha, ha. Very funny.

[he's suitably distracted from the sarcasm by the party trick because??? What just happened??? He sounds both excited and impressed when he asks:]

Did you just teleport?

[...close enough]

[splinten]

No. You can ask Jade and Roxy to do that one.

[Is it another joke?? Sure.]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I... Don't know who that is. [bUT] But you did something, right? You just... wooshed!

[splinten]

That's interesting terminology for it. Me and Dave just call it flashstepping.

[He points at two of the birthday girls.] Jade and Roxy, respectively.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

It's the first thing I could think of that wasn't "teleport". So I guess you guys can just move really fast? That's awesome.

[its just like in his Japanese animes.]

Alright. And those two can teleport?

[splinten]

[Adrien stop watching your Japanese animes.]

Basically. There might be others with that capacity, but I haven't checked Hotaru's survey of abilities for a while.

[A a database where you can see where ALL the animes are.]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[adrien had decided to take a bite of his cat cake right at this moment, solely so he can choke on it]

An-- ability survey? What's that for?

[...probably exactly what it sounds like]

[splinten]

[Dirk. Looks at Adrien.]

It's a mystery.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[laughs awkwardly]

I meant... there can't possibly be that many people with powers that you need to keep track of it all? Or at least I can't think of a reason you'd need to know exactly what powers people have if they have any?

[resists the urge to add "because i, personally, normal mcnormal, do not have any" because he's not. that obvious.]

[splinten]

Most of the base has powers of some sort, and everyone has abilities. Hotaru thought it would be useful in case you really needed someone who can fly or make felt plushes but didn't know who had those skills.

[Plushes shouldn't be what he thinks of yet here we are.]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[reflexively:]

Oh, Marinette probably could? She's made some before. [adrien... marinette is on the ground suffering and you throw her at smuppets? don't. also ok he can breathe easy] So it's not just special abilities, it's anything anyone might be good at? That makes more sense.

[splinten]

It's pretty helpful. [A pause] Once URSULA gets you your communicator I can send you it.

[UNLESS ADRIEN HAS IS Dirk is assuming know because of the birthday present arrival.]
