[semi-open] you are sixteen going on seventeen

WHO: Hinata Aoi and everyone who has an invitation, which is basically anyone he knows ♪
WHERE: The Stardust
WHEN: March 5th, in the afternoon
WHAT: ♪ It's a birthday party ♪
WARNINGS: A lot of glitter.

[ The Stardust is used to hosting after-school birthday parties and, thanks to a very gracious donor, some time for it's already been scheduled and paid for! For the rollerskating area at least, because Hinata wanted a roller-skate party so he's getting it.

...You will unfortunately have to either bring your own skates or pay for rented ones yourself. February was hard on poor workers.

Aside from rollerskating, The Stardust offers a lot of other things to do, too—there's the miniature arcade after all, where you can win some prizes (and maybe a birthday gift if you completely forgot to grab one—last minute gifts are still gifts!) and the snack bar if you want something quick (though filling up on this is not recommended, since the party itself has food). Maybe you'll even be lucky to see Comet the Orca on his break away from the ice skating rink and get a picture with him, who knows. (Don't harass the orca.)

For the party itself, there's a room reserved for celebrations, and it's decorated exactly how you'd think it'd be: a lot of pink, a lot of glitter, a lot of sparkly ornaments, a lot of tinsel and paper chains, balloons... There's food prepared and set up on tables pushed to one wall too—they're all served in cute animal-themed serving dishes, and while a large part of it tends to be traditionally Japanese, there's a couple of boxes of pizza for those that prefer it, with cat-shaped paper plates to go with it. On the drink side of things, there's water and a variety of soda. ...and animal-print paper cups for those. There's a theme here.

And for dessert—a lot of handmade sweets, ranging from various mochi creations and cake pops, to macarons and éclairs, to red bean pastries, too... Well, there's a lot. Not to mention the birthday cake either: a three-layer candy-covered vanilla cake with strawberry frosting. Is everything that can be pink that color? Yes.

For those that have gifts, drop them at the present table by the door, easily identified by the fact the entire glittery clear balloon budget seems to have gone to it... given there's several tied to it and only a few of them hanging around the room otherwise.

Have a good time ♪ ]

[ there is SO MUCH pink glittery stuff. hinata only adds to the explosion of color: he's in, for some reason, hot pink jeans and a white t-shirt with a pink heart on it. why does he own this shit. his hair is half clipped-back with pink hairclips, too, so we're just...committing to this pink thing? it's fine?

he's also wearing a constant smile, so there's that. he can be found: ]

a. rollerskating
[ literally 80% of the time. he will skate every skate. he's actually absurdly athletic and doesn't fall over at all, will request the most upbeat sugary pop songs imaginable (hope u like abba, also), and will drag people out to skate couples' skates with him so he doesn't have to stop skating. how does he have this much energy, no one is sure? ]

b. at the arcade
[ 10% of the time will be spent at the arcade, though. he's pretty good at rhythm games, and tends to gravitate to anything loud and colorful and requiring movement. he's less into things that only require hitting a few buttons in no particular order. ]

c. snackage/party
[ or on rare lucky occasions he will actually be sitting down (!!!) at one of the tables or at least standing nearby as he takes a rare break from skating. better catch him then before he absconds for the umpteenth time?

also while sitting he can be found making various balloon animals with balloons he apparently brought himself. for this purpose. if you approach he will gift you with a random balloon animal, run while you still can. ]

wildcard
[ or whatever i'm just spitballing here and will roll with anything or write up a thing for specific people ok! ]

[Woah, magic! Lalli's actually managed to make it inside! It still takes him a while to make his way over to Hinata, since he waits for people to come and go, and for Hinata to settle down off to the side. It...sure does take a while... At least he has time to grab a quick snack, even if he's still got the promise of cake weighing heavily on his mind.]

Hi. [Sliiiides into the seat across from him and draws his legs up. It's kind of awkward, since he has to work around a large yellow pillow until he can offer it out to Hinata.] You've been moving too much.

Hm? Well, parties are most fun when you move your body, I think??

[ he has.................far too much energy, but he grins. ]

How're you today, Lalli?
