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.

[ dave of course shows up to the party he helped slap together and also. his own birthday party??? even though he technically isn't having his birthday until tomorrow (in terms of everyone else's linear chronology). he shows up with a christmas sweater (though bright red with a more gear-like clock) over jeans, which is probably rose's work. so far he's only worn 2 sweater-and-jeans combos this month. there is still a month of these to come?

for the most part he'll hang out in his own slice or near the music playing system, birthday crown firmly in place. however he can also be found invading rose's slice and commentating on her movie picks? because he's terrible???

so it's easy to catch him 1) changing the music 2) commentating on the movies 3) pinata-ing 4) eating cake actually because why not 5) APPLE SODA!!! or apple juice. he'll greet anyone with a nod or "sup" or potentially an off-topic ramble and i can write personal starters if you don't feel like wild carding it up vague hand gestures. IF YOU WANT SOMETHING SUPER SPECIFIC INSTEAD OF JUST MAKING YOUR OWN, dave will also be vaguely handing out his own party hats though he doesn't seem to Care what people pick. however he may make a joking comment about traitors if his own personal friends pick someone else's color party hat. he is not being remotely serious, but it's deadpan, so. ]

[ clearly rose is #winning this birthday armageddon with that tentacle cake, holla atcha girl. rose shows up in a dress of crushed purple velvet with black tights and her crown clipped to a purple headband, because she's on theme today.

she'll be Mingling through the pie slices or just being harassed by dave for most of the party.

so it's easy to find her a) slicing tentacle cake and offering it because who wouldn't want horrorterror cake, b) walking around with a glass of grape juice, c) commentating on the movies, particularly analyzing dave's choices like a pretentious piece of shit, or d) doing whatever in a rose manner, feel free to just Approach. she will greet anyone who does, or anyone who approaches her slice of the party pie for whatever reason. play your wildcard. ]

[Dirk shows up to the birthgeddon dressed absolutely not specially at all, although if anyone needs an extra blanket or sweater he has several different piles in his sylladex. In fact, he is wearing a muscle shirt specifically because he doesn't have to dress specially or warmly at this exact moment and he is fucking taking that luxury.

He'll wear his birthday crown though.

You can find him a) standing awkwardly at the wall of his section holding an orange beverage very unsure of what to do with his life, b) standing awkwardly in the same place with a slice of cake because seriously how do u birthday party actually, c) gradually warming up to the point of decapitating some pinatas, and d) eventually embracing the party full on by going full ironic (?) analysis of all cinematic choices.]

[Jake is actually pretty happy with his slice? He loves skulls! Which he will, in fact, tell anyone who comes around him. He just really loves skulls. It could have been Avatar themed but alas. Oh well there's always next year for that. This year is the year for skulls.

He, too, wears his crown for now even though he's kind of shy about it. It draws attention to him! Even though it's partly for his birthday? He should probably socialize and do something like that. So sometimes he'll be a) trying to offer cake in a show of socialization!

Or b) poking at his pinata and trying to figure out if it's okay to break open? He wants to shoot it judging by the way he's flipping a gun. Or maybe you prefer a c) movie option of Jake commenting on the movies because he loves ALL THE PICKS. ALL OF THEM.

Or d) just grab him from being shy. Wildcard it up because he'll be around.]

[Jade turned 17 yesterday (sorta kinda - it's hard to tell your exact age when time shenanigans are involved) but that is not going to stop her from fully celebrating it today! The closest she's ever been to a birthday celebration before is playing Sburb on John's birthday, which really doesn't count. Needless to say, she's pretty excited to have a somewhat normal one happening.

She'll be flitting around to all of the pie slices, with a piece of her own cake floating beside her and a crown placed precariously between her dog ears. You might find her 1) offering to enlarge cake slices with space powers (because who doesn't want more cake?) 2) blindly attempting to beat a pinata to death (probably best not to get too close) 3) playing any and all of the gathered party games, 4) checking in on people to make sure they're having a good time or 5) doing anything else, Jade is game for just about anything!]

[ Roxy isn't bothered as much by the cold as the Striders are, but that doesn't mean she isn't going to take full advantage of the gift Rose and Dave made her a few months ago. She's wrapped up in the silliest yet most beautifulest PARADOX SPACE'S GREATEST MOM quilt ever, her head poking out of the cocoon of warmth and topped with a birthday party hat with "Birthday Bitch" in sparkly letters scrawled across it. It's... not technically her birthday yet, but that doesn't mean she isn't going to party like it's 1999! Or some other ominous year before impending apocalyptic doom.

She's quiet as she watches her family, the greatest gift of them all, and helps herself to some of her cake. She sort of feels bad cutting into such an adorable cake, but it's also cake, and cake is delicious. Care for a piece? She'll also pour you some juice in a fancy wine glass, or a fancy lil' tea cup, just like a classy Birthday Bitch. Just remember-- pinky out!!

If that scenario's not your cup of tea (lol), feel free to approach her when she's snickering at one of the movies, or using her powers to "inconspicuously" steal candy from the pinatas, or make up a scenario of your own! We aren't picky. ]

[amongst the decorations and cakes, there’s one that stands out particularly: a giant gift, exactly the size to fit… oh, say, two teenagers, perfectly wrapped, and…. Rocking back and forth? Is there noise coming from inside of it? Wow, that almost sounds like people in there.]

[Are they confused strippers who got lost on the way to Dave’s cake? Did Dirk get Dave a puppy? Did all the kids get multiple puppies???? Or maybe it is all the kittens Roxy could ever want? A cool robot?? Unfortunately, after enough rattling, the gift box bursts open in a shower of confetti in glitter, and there is none of those things inside. Alas, it is only two completely normal (source?) teenagers, looking bewildered, covered in glitter and confetti. What a lame gift. The girl, Marinette, appears to have gone chalk white, and is floundering on the ground, choking and stammering something with an ‘Ah’ sound in it. Maybe someone should attend to this girl. Adrien, meanwhile, blinks and … awkwardly jazz hands.]

… Ta-daa?

[Wow. He’s really selling that one.]

[This is, in fact, the worst birthday gift ever. It’s two dicks in a box.]

((ooc: sipp&i will both be answering tags in separate threads! so everyone gets to have their share of awkward teens #1 and #2 <3))
