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.

Nope. *He gets a slightly mischievous gleam in his eye as he leans over to whisper to her conspiratorially.* Leaves more for you.

*He picks up one, but doesn't do more than examine it.*

Crackers?

... hat and toy? *He imagines it must be magic of some sort, but it's clearly not any magic he's familiar with.*

*He follows her directions, and sure enough there is a popping noise accompanying the appearance of an... extra cartoony Sherlock-Holmes-style deerstalker hat. Along with a plastic wood-grain pipe.*

Hmmm. *He glances at the newly conjured items, before turning his attention back on Ingress.* What do you think?

*He glances about for a mirror, but doesn't readily spot any.*

Think so? I'd've thought a fedora would go better.

*He nonetheless clamps down on the pipe for a moment, to complement the hat. One light, inadvertant breath and bubbles pop out of the pipe. There's a moment of jerky head motion where he snaps his gaze down at the slowly drifting bubbles.*

*He permits himself to be dragged off by the enthusiastic Ingress.* Sure. *He smiles slightly.*
