Backdated to Saturday!

[havetubawilltravel]

When Pinkie's door opens, the only thing visible is a big pink frosting rose. It's as if the porthole's giving birth to a giant layer cake - but she has experience with this and manages to bring the - very giant, comes-close-to-touching-the-ceiling - cake inside and kick her door closed.

She slowly eases the confection onto the sturdiest table she can find and asks Bar for a small sign to prop up against it. When it appears, elegant script across the middle proclaims that she is offering:

FREE BIRTHDAY CAKE
FOR EVERYBODY
NOT JUST ANYPONY WITH A BIRTHDAY

Pinkie has just enough energy to set up the sign before flopping down onto a chair behind the table. "Phew," she sighs. "Thanks, Miss Bar." Bar produces a pink frosted cupcake for her, and she giggles when she notices what's written on it in white icing. "You really ARE the best!"

Botherable.

[OOC: I managed to miss Pinkie's birthday on Saturday, so I'm abusing Millitime like nobody's business and doing a birthday post for her! Open forever!]

It seems that there are four elves in the Bar today, who find your sign and large cake to be very interesting.

Birthday, hm?

There is a quick, murmured conversation (in which the word 'presents!' may have occurred) before they approach the pony.

"Happy Birthday and welcome back to the Bar."

[havetubawilltravel]

Pinkie loves friends!

And when a gaggle of them come toward her at once, she about glows with excitement, her energy renewed.

"Thanks SO much!" She tilts her head. "Sometimes things get really really busy in Ponyville and I have so much to do that I can't get away even for a second but here I am!!"

[whipped_weapon]

HM.

The four elves have never seen a small, talking equine before. Thus, their confusion is completely warranted. Especially when it comes to birthday presents.

The armored drow's gift is a wooden, brightly painted and highly stylized sculpture of a 6 winged bird. Not very big but the wood is very sturdy and it's quite eyecatching.

"How old are you, this day?"

The dark elf wearing the red silk and his green silk wearing companion rummage a bit in their bags before settling on a set of rolled up (long!) brightly colored ribbons (possibly for braiding into hair?) with some kind of pattern on it.

And the black haired, pale skinned elven female in the Tudor gown seems to waver as the mist in her hand flickers from brightly colored shape to shape rapidly.

No, harnesses would not be liked.
No, breakables might be a problem.
She already has food...

HM..

It finally settles into the shape of large and brightly colored, enameled bells, with what seem to be clips for braiding into hair. Or tails.

"Will these presents do?" she asks.

[havetubawilltravel]

OOOH. Pinkie's one for The Shiny. She LOVES The Shiny. And those birds are most definitely shiny. "THESE ARE SO COOL!" She pumps a hoof in the air. Someone's going to spend a lot of time annoying everybody in Ponyville with her jingly bells.

"Thank you SO much. Twenty!" she enthuses. "And you know what turning twenty calls for!"

[whipped_weapon]

"....Liquor and feasting?" Zak suggests.
"Music and dancing? Pretty dresses?" Rhosyln asks.
"A party. Naturally." Naitachal grins. "I think I have a lute I can play a few dancing songs on, in case any of your other guests show up."

[havetubawilltravel]

"The answer is...EVERYBODY'S RIGHT!" Cue a fall of confetti and streamers. "We're going to party our hooves off!"

sorry this is late, was unable to log on earlier.

[whipped_weapon]

The black skinned elf with the red silk robe is happy to take out his lute and play a bouncy dancing song for the pink pony.

The two pale skinned elves are dancing together, while the armored elf with the black skin has called over a waitrat. While cake is all very well and good, for proper feasting, other dishes are necessary.

In deference to it being the pony's birthday, all the dishes the Bar supplies on request are vegan, leading to an assortment of dishes including tofu, salads, and assorted crunchy dried or fried items including finger foods.

It's okay!

[havetubawilltravel]

Aww yeah! Party music means party DANCING! Pinkie promptly gets up and gets funky with herself, urging the elves to join her.

Re: It's okay!

[whipped_weapon]

Let's see. The pale elf clad in green and the dark haired elven woman in Tudor clothing are definitely dancing with the pony.

Idly, the drow male who ordered the vegan party food has started playing around, creating multiple orbs of faery fire in different colors and making them fly around and sometimes break into smaller pieces before reforming into orbs, creating a very pretty light pattern in time to the music.

Not quite a club, but pretty nonetheless.

[havetubawilltravel]

Pinkie's gonna conga til she gets everybody on her feet. For she is Pinkie, and this is her prime directive in life. To Pinkie, this mini lightshow and dancealong are the best and most important thing in the world right now, and she's treasuring absolutely every second.

[pullsneedles]

It's been the longest time since Lucas has seen Pinkie Pie. Not that he'd ever forget, of course. You don't forget things like a pink pony who gave you apple pie.

"Hello, Miss Pinkie Pie," he greets on his way to a booth or a table for himself. "Is it your birthday?"

[havetubawilltravel]

Well, she certainly remembers him!

"Hi, Lucas!" She nods. "All. Day. Long."

So much partying must be done.

[pullsneedles]

"Well happy birthday! Oh, I should get you something. What kinda flowers do you like?"

[havetubawilltravel]

"Actually," Pinkie says, "I'd rather have a big box of candy instead of a bunch of flowers!" Flowers are more Fluttershy's thing.

[pullsneedles]

"Oh! I can get that. I just offered flowers since I grow'em."

He scratches at his cheek in thought.

"Isn't that a lot? With the cake, I mean? Or do you just save it for later like I do?"

[havetubawilltravel]

"AWW"! Now she feels bad about having accidentally offended him. "No no no! Flowers sound totally cool!"

[pullsneedles]

"But you said you want candy. I can getcha both."

[havetubawilltravel]

"But ANYTHING you get me would be super awesome!" Pinkie doesn't want to upset him.

[pullsneedles]

Lucas smiles and holds up a hand to indicate he'll be right back. He's gone for a bit, but he returns with a box of assorted chocolates and a bouquet of daffodils.

"Happy Birthday, Miss Pinkie Pie," he says again, holding out the gifts.

[havetubawilltravel]

And Pinkie accepts them with great ceremony and plunks them into a glass of water with great flourish - the daffodils that is. The chocolates are already disappearing into her mouth.

"OMghph This this so goooth," she says, muffled by the food. "Wanna piecth?"

[pullsneedles]

"Well, maybe one," he says, holding out a hand. "I'll take whichever's the least sweet."

[havetubawilltravel]

Pinkie actually has to think that one over - what is 'less sweet'? Less sweet is her LEAST FAVORITE THING.

"How about these?" She nudges a cup filled with chocolate-covered nuts over to him.

[pullsneedles]

Good thing he's around to eat her least favorites, then!

"Okay! Thank ya, Miss Pinkie," he says, taking the cup and peeling off the wrapper. "So, besides your birthday, how've you been?"

[havetubawilltravel]

"SO good. My friend Twilight is totally a princess and it's SO COOL!" Though Pinkie can't say what Twilight actually does as a princess, she knows that having royalty as a friend is awesome.

[pullsneedles]

"A princess? Like outta a story?" he asks before trying the chocolate. "How'd that- mmm... How'd that happen?"

[havetubawilltravel]

"Welphs," Pinkie says, mouth full, "it's a REALLY long story. I'll tell it to you...with shadow puppets!"

Which she of course pulls out of nowhere.

[pullsneedles]

"Huh? Hey, I ain't a baby!" Lucas protests.

[havetubawilltravel]

Cue Pinkie GASPING. "Puppets are for EVERYBODY, isn't that right Blippy the Owl?"

"Hoo, it sure is Pinkie, hoo!" she says through her teeth, miming the puppet's actions.

[pullsneedles]

"Well, all right," he reluctantly agrees, taking a seat to watch.

[havetubawilltravel]

The story is pretty complex - but very entertaining.

Don't ask how the magic cupcakes and the semaphore flag and the forty feet of cable figure in.

[pullsneedles]

"I'm not sure I got all that," Lucas confesses. "But I did like it."

[havetubawilltravel]

"And liking's half the battle," she said quite solemnly.

[forgottenmotley]

"What if your name isn't Everybody?" the Fool asks has he drops down in a seat next to the pink pony.

[havetubawilltravel]

"Then you get DOUBLE the cake," Pinkie says firmly. Hey, he's one of her main buddies in chaos, he deserves it.

[forgottenmotley]

"How much cake is double cake? Is that two cakes?" He grins at her as he wanders through his twisted logic as he does.

[havetubawilltravel]

"No, silly! It's four cakes cut in half. With double the jam filling!" Pinkie matches him
