[Semi- Closed] Alex Cumore's Birthday Celebration!

[blondferret]

WHO: Derek Matthews, Alex Cumore, Cumore's friends, and anyone who knows Cumore and likes him as a person.
WHERE: A bar in Recolle
WHEN: April 19, 2018
WHAT: Cumore's Birthday Party!
WARNINGS: Probably lots of drinking

Derek had been planning Cumore's birthday for a while and he is really hoping people show up. He reserved a few tables and has the cake on one of them, with paper plates, utensils and napkins.

A. Gifts

Feel free to give your gift to Cumore here!

B. Birthday Cake!

Derek went out and got a two tier cake for the occasion. He chose this one specifically because it is decorated with Cumore's favorite fruit. Hopefully Cumore will be willing to blow out candles, because Derek brought some. After candles are blown out, feel free to enjoy some cake.

C. Drinking and general mingling

Although Derek has set this all up, he's not paying for your drink. He's not made of money. But feel free to buy yourself a drink and talk with other people that attend.

[you are thirty-five, by tales standards you are old, go ask raven!!

also oooh, that was low, he's actually a little impressed]

Taking care of the rest of us now, are you? Good to see you're getting more responsible as the years go by.

[scythegun]

[raven doesn't count!!]

You say that like I've ever been irresponsible!

[drydrown]

[...That just gets a laugh and a vague gesture out of him, honestly.

Like.

Look at yourself and try to tell him that you haven't.]

[scythegun]

What? I honestly don't know what you could be referring to~!

[well yeah, but. still!! he's totally shaped up now, that's what's important!!]

[drydrown]

You're a mess, you know.

[scythegun]

Am I? I hadn't noticed~!

[drydrown]

Will it disrupt your evening too much if you drink something? I know how precious schedules are in one's advanced age.

[let him buy you a goddamn drink, old-timer, maybe he'll stop picking on you]

[scythegun]

I can handle a drink or two, just as long as I don't have to call someone to pick me up, ja?

[you're such a brat.]

[drydrown]

[He just laughs a bit, lightly.]

That's what boyfriends are for, isn't it?

[scythegun]

Oh come now, I certainly wouldn't use my lovely boyfriend for something like that~!

[drydrown]

Well, it's better than using the lovely Uber service, I'm sure.

[scythegun]

Oh, of course, but I don't plan on that either!

[drydrown]

If you're going to be that insistent on not having a life, I may call you for a ride back after all.

[scythegun]

You know you can't always rely on me to drive you everywhere, ja?

[drydrown]

I'm not hearing a proper complaint, either.

[scythegun]

I figured the complaint went without saying!

[drydrown]

Jaeger, I'm a lawyer. Nothing goes without saying unless I already have it in writing, in triplicate, and even then you're not getting anywhere without explicit confirmation.

[cumore ffs]

[scythegun]

[...]

My, you aren't any fun at all, are you?

[drydrown]

I'm paid good money to be the most pedantic person alive, actually.

[AT LEAST HE IS SELF-AWARE ABOUT IT...]

[scythegun]

Well, at least you acknowledge it!

[drydrown]

You don't waste as many years of your life on paperwork as I do without developing a sense of humor about it. It helps with the boredom, to say nothing of the existential despair.

[scythegun]

And here I thought you adored your work!

[drydrown]

Well...yes and no? I enjoy it more than you'd think, but it's not what i ultimately want to do with my life.

[You know, the whole politics thing that he kinda...yelled at you about in the subway tunnels.

...Ironically, he doesn't remember that entire screaming fit, but whatever.]

[scythegun]

Well, I'm sure you'll get there someday!

[It's probably for the best that you don't remember, right...??]

[drydrown]

Good to see you have faith - as well you should, really.
