Happy 18th unbirthday, Enzo!

[a1enzo]

Hovering windows* scattered throughout the bar this evening advertise a party out back.

It's pleasant out, and a sound system has been set up by the flattest section of ground, the better for dancing. There is a table with an assortment of party-suitable games on it, and the requisite snack table, of course, as well as a (currently) cordoned-off table bearing an ungodly number of pies.

There is also an adult-depending-whom-you-ask sprite ready to greet folks.


*Okay, not that many. And not as noisy or intrusive. He knows better these days. Nobody likes pop-up ads.

[OOC: Open forever! If you think you might've been invited, you've been invited. If not, drop by anyway! We have pie!]

Meet and Greet

[a1enzo]

Come say hi, to the unbirthday boy or to anyone else! Gifts aren't required, but if you have one, here is probably where to present it.

Autor drops off his carpet in front of Enzo, waving. "Hi, Enzo. Happy unbirthday."

Re: Meet and Greet

[a1enzo]

"Hey, Autor! Thanks! How's it going?"

heirDrosselmeyer, Minus greets him.

Re: Meet and Greet

[herr_bookman]

"I'm doing well, thanks for asking," Autor says, beaming at his friend. "How are you? And hello, Minus."

Re: Meet and Greet

[a1enzo]

"I'm good! Feeling totally mature." Riiiight.

At some point a young dark-haired woman sidles up beside him and gives him a peck on the cheek. Dani has no presents, but that's because she's already given Enzo his unbirthday gift.

(Get your minds out of the gutter, people.)

Re: Meet and Greet

[a1enzo]

(Hey, he is 18...)

Enzo jumps slightly as always, then grins and puts an arm around her waist.

"Have you seen the pie table?"

Re: Meet and Greet

[ami_imperfect]

"Seen it? How could I miss it?" she asks in reply. The kitchen staff have obviously been very busy.

Guppy has all four of the small people with him, the oldest three of whom are currently singing 'Happy Unbirthday To You' with him.

Well, Fry and Coral are, but Brooke hasn't quite got it, and is singing 'Happy Umbrella to you', and Gil is joining in with 'oo!' at the end of each line.

Re: Meet and Greet

[a1enzo]

D'awwww. (And LOL.) "Thanks, guys."

Re: Meet and Greet

[fry_sandhu]

At the end of the song, Brooke immediately darts off towards the card games table. Coral hands him their home made card (on opening, lots of macaroni will fall off) and Fry hands him the present they all got him together - a really nice swiss army knife with lots of gadgets.

"Are you a grown up now?" Fry asks.

Clementine has brought (digitized) booze. And probably some kind of cookies on a platter that she baked all by herself.

She sizes him up and says, "you went ahead and got even taller, ugh."

Somehow, without the bearer of the gift being seen, a plain brown paper wrapped parcel is tucked amid the gifts for the Birthday Boy. Inside is a copy of "The 70 Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries", 23rd edition.

Re: Meet and Greet

[a1enzo]

Enzo, finding the gift later, is puzzled but amused. Maybe he should show it to Mouse.

He turns it over, checks inside, looking to see if there's a card or an inscription or anything.

Re: Meet and Greet

[basic_powers]

There is indeed a rather simple card with 'Happy Birthday to the best friend who grew up before I did' hand written in a shimmery dark blue ink.

If Enzo holds the card up to the light, he might even catch a glimpse of the crescent moon signature by tilting it around a bit.

Food

[a1enzo]

Fooooooood. Mostly organic but some digital, carefully marked with an electrical hazard symbol; Enzo has already had dinner, but when has that stopped him?

Re: Food

[havetubawilltravel]

Pinkie may or may not be busily gulping down a big apple pastry.

Re: Food

[a1enzo]

"Breathe, Pinkie..."

Re: Food

[havetubawilltravel]

"Mpghths?!" Pinkie says, swallowing. "Oops, I couldn't hear you! I had some custard in my ear."

Only Pinkie.

Dance Floor

[a1enzo]

Assorted dance music from both cyberspace and Earth is playing. Come get your groove on.

Enzo also has his guitar with him in case anyone wants to jam.

Games

[a1enzo]

There is an assortment of games (not digital) available, such as mad libs, Apples to Apples: Milliways Edition, Munchkin Multiverse, and Cards Against Sapience.

Pie-Eating Contest

[a1enzo]

A text window next to the Table of Pie serves as a sign-up sheet. Contestants might want to avoid the snack table beforehand (and probably afterward as well).

Re: Pie-Eating Contest

[fry_sandhu]

Fry looks at the sign curiously. What is the challenge of eating pie?

Re: Pie-Eating Contest

[a1enzo]

"You want in on this?"

Re: Pie-Eating Contest

[fry_sandhu]

"In a pie or on a pie?"
