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.

Of course you can! It is your tree, isn't it? You can decide whether or not you eat from it now or not!

[Of course, Jade has to admit she's a little excited to see whether or not he likes the mini-oranges or not. She'd tried one earlier to make sure they were palatable, but just having them edible doesn't mean Dirk will enjoy them.]

[It's a little nerve-wracking, trying it out in front of Jade. But he plucks one from the tree, and he pops it into his mouth. Actually bites into the skin because apparently that is not a mistake like last time?

Hot damn these are so good. Dirk covers his mouth because these oranges are magic.]

[cuteandquarky]

[Jade hasn't had a ton of time to pick up reading expressions, so she can't help fretting a bit. Does covering his mouth means he likes them? Or are they so bad that he's just doing his best not to spit them out?]

Um... are they okay?

[splinten]

'Okay'? 'Okay' does not cut it.

[Joke's on anyone who thinks Dirk is stoic because despite the lack of real major change in expression, he is clearly feeling effusive on this subject.]

How are you so fucking awesome?

[cuteandquarky]

[Jade starts laughing out of relief at "so fucking awesome," glad that her gift has been well-received.]

It's really not that big of a deal! Anybody with shrinking powers could make a tree like this one.

[splinten]

Not just anyone did. I seriously appreciate it.

[He should. Hug her. Should he hug her? Fuck. Uh. A moment of blank terror and confusion and then he goes for the hug, keeping the tree safely out of his way. HE CAN DO IT! HE CAN DO THE HUMAN INTERACTION!]

[cuteandquarky]

[Jade is a little surprised by the hug because... well, she didn't really have Dirk pegged as the type? But she's more than happy to return it, though she dials back the intensity just a bit to make sure the plant does not become a casualty.]

Well, your gifts were super awesome too! I didn't think that it was possible to own all 48 Squiddles but... here they are!
