Ingress's Sixth Birthday Party

*It's eleven o'clock on Saturday morning, thanks to Millitime, and the stage is set for Ingress's birthday out by the lake. The House of Arch family has gathered around a perfect picnic spot under a tree. Right beside them is a playground Tom has conjured just for the occaision. There is a swingset, a slide, a merry go round, and a sandbox charmed with sand that's perfect for building.

Ingress is wearing a gown fit for a princess. It has been charmed against stains and ripping just for this special day. She is also wearing a blinking button which reads "I am 6!" She is very, very, very excited.

Tom, Door, Gavroche, and Megwyn are putting finishing decorating touches on the picnic tables set up with a gigantic cake, gallons of ice cream from Florean Fontescue's ice cream parlor, and punch. There is also a table with baskets of wizarding crackers. These are gifts for the guests - once the crackers are popped, the recipient will get a hat of some kind (maybe there will be a plethora of pirate hats!) and a wizarding toy or game like chess or gobstones. Or whatever else you'd like - the guest gets to decide!

There are several chairs under the tree as well, providing a good view of the playground.

Come, birthday with them!*

OOC: Summary forthcoming. However, very important (and menacing) Barty and Tom thread within.

He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly. "Do I really have to?"

Indy mentally cowers under the pretty glower of doom. "Ok... you win."

He reaches into the basket and roots around carefully. He pulls out a maroon and blue cracker. "This isn't going to cover me in anything icky is it? It's just... a regular cracker."

He eyes it apprehensively, but offers the other end to Ingress. "Ok... let's get it over with."

He bats at the tiny pieces of paper that flutter around, chuckling a little. But the smile soon fades as he examines the prize.

"Oh... perfect!"

He holds out the small plastic frog so she can see. The pressure of his thumb on its belly causes the animation and sound byte to kick in. It's legs straighten in a leaping motion. Ribbet

"Oh wonderful, it even moves and talks." His tone could not be flatter.

He stares at it. "Aw, hell! You're gonna make me wear it as well, aren't you?"

Indy begrudgingly puts the hat on regardless. "There... happy?"

Ribbet

He ignores the frog for the time being and holds out her parcel. "Sure. Um... I wasn't sure what a six year old girl would like, so I asked Bar to help. This is what we came up with."

He grins. "You're welcome. And thanks for letting me join the fun."

He looks around shiftily. "Can I go talk to your dad now?"

He takes the fedora and somehow manages to get it on her head with the headband still in place. He tilts it rakishly and takes a step back. "Perfect. Now you're an explorer as well."

He smiles in satisfaction and looks around. "Ok... there he is. Have fun!" Pocketing the frog toy, he beats a hasty retreat to talk to Tom (http://www.livejournal.com/community/milliways_bar/5196081.html?thread=213799217#t213799217).
