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.

Yeah but he also got that from her. I hate ectobiology, jegus fuck.

[ the worst science of all time!!!! ]

[parodeity]

Eh, it ain't all bad. At least we got to see you freak out about it like twenty million times.

[alienates]

[ he is going to attempt to flick dave in the nose because fuck you ]

[parodeity]

[ dave just lets it happen, laughing. so. congrats? he definitely could have dodged that, but. ]

[alienates]

[ whatever it makes him feel better!!! ]

The whole process is gross. Also I hate you.

[parodeity]

Sure you do. Did you have cake yet btw?

[ that is probably less gross than ectobiology, although maybe bringing it up straight after that doesn't. make it less gross. WHATEVER ]

[alienates]

I hate you so much. [ karkat says again, while wearing dave's color party hat because obviously there is so much hatred here?? ]

And no not yet.

[parodeity]

Ok, why don't we get you some cake and somethin' non-soda to drink if you still have a soda embargo or whatever, and you can continue listing off things that annoy you about people?

[ while dave eats cake and also listens/commentates ]

[alienates]

[ this is a good conversation topic that karkat totally supports and can get behind? he wishes every day he can just list off things that annoys him

actually no that is every day, he does it regardless if people invite him to do it or not. ]

Wow, Strider. You sure know how to woo someone.

[parodeity]

Shockingly enough I did learn your idea of a good date in the past few years, and complainin' about people always ranks pretty high on the list.

[ he is mostly teasing

mostly ]

[alienates]

There are other things that rank higher!

[ please change the topic fast because this will be the stupidest argument of the last five minutes. ]

[parodeity]

Like dissin' faygo?

[ no?????????? he's gonna keep it ]

[alienates]

I don't even think that should count since anyone with even half a grain of intelligence would diss faygo. it is literally, in the most literal sense of the word "literally," the worst dream of all time and space.

[ karkat hated it even before gamzee went crazy ]

[parodeity]

Movies basically count as letting you complain about shit?

drink* not dream wtf self

[alienates]

You fall asleep for most of them so that barely counts!

[ how do you even know he's complaining, dave!! you're napping! ]

[parodeity]

Not always, though. Sometimes I just shut my eyes and listen?

[ that's gay ]

[alienates]

You're an embarrassment, stop pretending to be asleep.

[ it is extremely gay and may have made karkat have an #emotion, so ignore him as he carefully..... reaches over and.... grabs dave's hand. nbd just the first time karkat went to hold dave's hand with other people in the immediate vicinity, move along, this is nothing. ]

[parodeity]

[ dave will...actually draw his hand back to put his hands in his pockets, glancing around. ]

Nah, it's relaxing? Besides, my commentary isn't necessary.

[alienates]

[ that's fine!! karkat is a master at hiding when he gets his soul crushed!! jk he's terrible at it. ]

I can't believe you just admitted to that.

[parodeity]

[ he's quiet for a second before swapping gears, again, soft-voiced. ]

About that box. I don't think I'm always wrong. But maybe I am? So. Did you tell Nepeta or any of your other friends about us, or not?

[alienates]

I told Makoto. It hasn't really come up in conversation with anyone else, and even if we have always been public I wouldn't just blurt out I'm dating you for no reason.

[ he kicks at the ground. ]

Have you told anyone?

[parodeity]

John. Dirk. Rose. Rin. Other people, yeah.

[ a frown, then: ]

Anyway, I need to go give Lalonde her gift, so I'm gonna go, ok? It might be all right for you, but I'd prefer not to announce shit to important people without actually...announcing it to important people. And there are people who matter who I haven't said a word to, for a variety of reasons.

[alienates]

[ he just nods and will probably leave the party for a bit before coming back to it. ]
