open || ain't no party like a birthday party

[complementing]

WHO: Minako, Sakura, Ragna, and you!
WHERE: One of the arcade bars in the city.
WHEN: March 10th
WHAT: BIRTHDAY PARTY!
WARNINGS: None foreseen! Feel free to threadjack for Minako's Hot Potato Categories game.



[Welcome to the Emporium, an arcade bar that Minako and Sakura have decided to host their joint birthday party at! Come on in and have some fun playing games, eating junk food, and just hanging out with the birthday girls (and guy, if he decides to come).

There are, of course, the numerous arcade games that the place is known for, ranging from the old school 2v2 fighters to the shooting gallery kinds. But there are a smattering of other games as well, like DDR, darts, mini hoops, skeeball, and the pool table, too. There's also a wall of crane games in the back, with plenty of random and mostly cute prizes to win.

Make a stop by the purikura booth if you have time. Make some duck lips at the camera and then take the snaps home! (Or give them to the birthday girls for the memories.)

Oh, and be sure to exchange your money for tokens before you play all these games. The token machine seems kind of finicky, though. Maybe a strong (and hopefully discrete?) kick will help jumpstart it.

Walk to the dining area, and there'll be a feast waiting you! The arcade is providing a ton of pizza and wings, as well as alcohol, if you can show your ID. For dessert, there's the cake that Shuji made for the girls, as well as Minako's lemon tea cakes. Those are limited supply, though, so snag one before everyone eats it up.

Next to the dining area, there's a big sign that says "DUNK TANK OUTSIDE". Maybe take a look? Just be reaaaally sure you want to climb in before you do it, though. The towels provided by the arcade are pretty small.

And finally, if you need a break from the chaos, there's a couple of couches on the second floor. Take a load off and watch from above.]

Like I said before, sharing a party isn't a big thing, not in that way. I was-- am-- happy that we could do it.

[New and old friends, lots of food and fun and games...she can't complain at all! Minako beams and gently eases the gift further into Sakura's arms. Inside is a nomwhale.]

I hope you like it? You mentioned ice cream in your texts to me, and this caught my eye while I was out running errands.

[imaginex]

[/WHEEZES

The noise Sakura makes can only be heard by whales, most likely, and that should be proof of how well-received the gift is.]

Oh, look at it! It's so cute!

[She about squeezes the poor dear into a hug before she launches at Minako and hugs her, too]

Thank you so much!

[complementing]

[She laughs and returns the hug tightly.]

You're welcome! I'm glad you like it. It's called a nomwhale and I have to admit, I was really tempted to get one for myself.

[imaginex]

You should later! I mean, if you like these sort of things.

Then we can have matching nomwhales.

[Because that's what friendship truly looks like, okay?]

[complementing]

[FRIENDSHIP!!!]

I love these kinds of things. Should I get the exact same one, then? Or a different 'flavor'?

[imaginex]

Definitely a different flavor.

[It's not as much fun if they're exactly the same!]

Do you remember what kinds there were?

[complementing]

Hmm...I think there was mint chocolate, chocolate banana, rainbow sherbert, and orange creamsicle.

[imaginex]

... Orange creamsicle sounds delicious.

[Sakura, you can't actually eat them, honey]

But I guess it depends on which of the colors you like...?

[complementing]

Hmm...I like warm colors. [She laughs and points at her red eyes and hair.] If it wasn't obvious. So maybe orange creamsicle would be perfect for me!

[imaginex]

Then you should go for it! We'll make a semi-matching set!
