I know, I'm not a little kid anymore

WHO: Sakura Kinomoto, OPEN
WHERE: Fai's house! Since she lives with him now.
WHEN: April 1st, early afternoon
WHAT: Sakura's friends are invited to a party for her birthday.
WARNINGS: None?



[Maybe some arrived earlier, to help get the food ready or set up any decorations. Most of it is ready, though some preparation might be more last minute in that morning once she has opened presents from her family - after dealing with an initial prank from her brother, given the date and all.

She hadn't anticipated anything too huge or fancy. Though that might end up debatable given how Fai tends to spoil her at the best of times. Still, the house should hopefully be big enough. She hopes. Sakura fusses a little with her dress, her hair, before coming to try offer to help with any last minute decorations or anything. Once people do start arriving, everyone is free to mingle and enjoy the food and drinks (non-alcoholic).

Sakura tries to get around to say hi to everyone, sometimes but not always managing to be the one to answer the door. She seems to be enjoying herself, glad of the chance to catch up with everyone in person, even if some might not stay all day. And given the weekend, given the holidays, she isn't so worried on staying up late either. She joins in with mingling, and might be easier to corner and get some one on one time later in the afternoon/evening, once others might have already gone home.

She doesn't have a traditional cake, but a number of cupcakes for everyone instead, with those and the rest of the snacks provided being made by Fai. With Xiaolang's help, and maybe Sakura managing to somewhere in the process of making it all.]

[!!!!!

SWALLOWING NOW.]

Oy!! Don't do that!

[mercurio]

What, you mad?

[he's looking smug]

It's you at your most natural, Noah.

[redarm]

[GROWLS!!]

I'll show you at your most natural!!

[What does that even mean? Who the fuck knows. But he's making a swipe for that camera!!]

[mercurio]

[he raises his hands up in the air, keeping the camera out of harm's way]

--hey! This camera's worth a lot of money! You don't wanna be in debt forever, right?!

[redarm]

[ DEBT. ]

[ Prompto must've said some magic word, because at the D word, Noah freezes - in mid grab. He gets a faraway horrified expression, like he's remembering something traumatic.

Anything but more debt.]

[mercurio]

[and prompto just takes it in stride, like it's something funny. he reaches over and ruffles noah's hair]

Nah, just kidding. Noct will pay to get it repaired. Pocket change for him, the bastard.

Speaking of -- we should make use of his crazy fortune and treat ourselves, yeah?

[the ruffling has evolved from ruffling to a more comforting brushing of hair]

[redarm]

[ Noah takes a moment to snap out of his dazed appearance. He's even twitching a little, as if he's remembering something very traumatic........

But the hair ruffling and brushing helps, and he eventually comes to. Right. Right. No mountains of debt here. He's safe in this world. ]

H-Huh? What about a crazy fortune?

[mercurio]

Noct's crazy fortune.

[he makes the correction, almost tutting at noah]

We should make something of it. Tons of food and a spa day at his apartment on his dime. You ever had spa treatment?

[redarm]

-- Oh right. Your boyfriend's loaded.

[Right right okay he's getting back into reality]

No I haven't- sure he'd wouldn't mind though?

[mercurio]

Noah.

[a hand over noah's shoulder]

Pocket change. [let that sink in]

Besides, he's happy to spoil his friends.

[redarm]

Fuck....

Are you a trophy wife?

[mercurio]

I'm not married.

[#prompto]

[redarm]

[blinks. Is that the part he's really arguing against....]

Sorry?

Trophy Significant Other?

[mercurio]

That'd mean Noct bought me everything? But nah, I don't like taking his money. Although he says I can use it anytime, that it makes him feel better about the whole thing.

[prompto shrugs]

Guess he's more my sugar daddy than I am a trophy-anything.

[snort]

--so, Sunday sounds good?

[redarm]

Noctis is your sugar daddy...

[He's trying to imagine that, and lemme tell you, it's a weird image]

Sure, Sunday works.

[mercurio]

I'll let you be in charge of what food we order. That exciting enough for you?

[redarm]

[EYES LIGHT UP]

Yes!!

[mercurio]

Geez, at least pretend that you wanna hang out with me.

[casually, snaps another picture of noah]

[redarm]

[scowls at the camera!]

Tch, course I wanna hang with you. But food's great too.

[mercurio]

Was food what attracted you to come down?

--oh, actually, how's your dino egg doing?

[redarm]

Yes.

[he's so honest]

I dunno, I can't figure out how to hatch it.

[mercurio]

[he loves that about noah]

Dude, chill. You gotta put it in water, you know. Did you do that?

[redarm]

No...? Tim chewed up the instructions.

[mercurio]

Seriously? Dude. Take me to your room, we're fixing this!

[he's walking towards the stairs. assuming that the stuff is in noah's room, in total complete neglect]

[redarm]

Tch, fine fine!

[He'll walk up to his room with him. He's got a sizeable place in the upper floor. It's decorated in all the ways you'd expect from a teenager like Noah. the walls are painted black, there's band and horror movie posters up on the walls, dirty laundry on the floor, halloween decorations all over the place. Timcanpy sits on a pillow on the bed- which was made in a pretty sloppy manner.

The dinosaur egg? It's not in COMPLETE neglect, but it's sitting on the corner of his desk, as if he's not sure what else to do with it]
