Those Unforgettable Days

Jul 08, 2011 17:02

[Ruri invited just about the whole town to her birthday party, or anyone who would pick up the phone, and if anyone comes by 2242 Stevens Road they'll see the house with some shades out, a badminton net in the front yard, and a floating holographic screen with what looks to be anime in the back yard. There was a sort of attempt at decorating, in a ( Read more... )

The Front yard hontobakabaka July 8 2011, 21:02:58 UTC

[There is a Badminton net, some tables and a cooler with iced tea in it, plenty of room for chatting and not a lot of noise]

What is this? I don't even. pants_yourmove July 8 2011, 21:08:09 UTC

[[Aaron stops on the side walk... he's been out of it for a while now.

He didn't even know it was her birthday!]]

A party?

hontobakabaka July 8 2011, 21:11:00 UTC

[Ruri waves, tying a balloon to the fence]

"My birthday was on the 7th, but I'm holding the party today so people don't have to worry about work tomorrow."

Oh.

[[Wait.]]

OH!

[[Crap! No gift! Thinking, thinking.]]

The kitchen hontobakabaka July 8 2011, 21:03:55 UTC

[There are some snacks and places for people to put their own food on the table, there's also another table with a few wrapped packages on it for gifts, but its not overstated and off to the side]

Because all the best parties end up in the kitchen. ooeeooahah July 8 2011, 21:22:25 UTC

[ Ilsa has brought a few things over for snacks, from a few different cultures. She's putting the last finishing touches on the platter of pesto deviled eggs and prosciutto rolls. ]

I hope it's okay that I brought some alcoholic ices, those are the ones in the blue tubs. The white tubs are fruit sorbets.

"Just mark them so no one accidentally drinks it. Other than that I invited enough adults so they'll probably enjoy them."

ooeeooahah July 8 2011, 22:04:15 UTC

I thought you might have, considering you were inviting half the town.

[ She smiles as she puts the platter of green eggs and ham on the table. ]

Is it just you in the house or do you have any other people assigned to your unit?

[ Like the guy who was glaring at her at the pool? ]

Back Yard hontobakabaka July 8 2011, 21:04:51 UTC

[There is a movie theater sized screen playing anime from her home world here and the music and sound, there are also several chairs out here]

[Barton came here to get the drone girls off of her back - yesterday was her "sixtheenth" birthday and they wanted to throw her a party. She told them Ruri was already having a group one. So here we are.

But she's too distracted at the moment to do much besides stare at the screen in front of her. There is a look on her face that no one has seen in her 2-month stay in Mayfield: complete and utter confusion.]

...The hell is this?

hontobakabaka July 8 2011, 21:16:43 UTC

"Gekiganger III. Omoikane likes it and several people here enjoy anime."

nosoul_nomind July 8 2011, 21:17:25 UTC

[Oh my god WHAT ARE THESE WORDS AND no wait, hold on a sec]

...Did you say "anime"?

Garage hontobakabaka July 8 2011, 21:05:41 UTC

[If you can get past the UPS system that takes up a quarter of the garage and the several electronic tools, the area has been cleaned out and heavily air conditioned for people who don't like the summer or loud]

Hiding protag! hontobakabaka July 9 2011, 11:33:17 UTC

[Ruri spends a lot of the time during the day in here. She doesn't seem comfortable with crowds or heat but is trying to be a good hostess, but she'll always return here.]

imoutosnake July 9 2011, 11:41:13 UTC

[ To be honest, Nadeko isn't too good with crowds too.. but she promised Ruri that she would come to the party, so she would just have to put herself past that fear for her friend's sake. After a little while it becomes a bit too much for her though, so she semi-flees into the garage to get away from the crowd.. But then she spots Ruri as well. ]

A-ah! Good day! [ She makes a quick, somewhat nervous and on edge bow. ] Happy birthday!

hontobakabaka July 9 2011, 12:04:48 UTC

[Ruri hops up with a start, then blinks and smiles]

"I'm glad you could come Nadeko... You found my hiding space."

Evening hontobakabaka July 8 2011, 21:12:59 UTC

[The cake has been brought out to the back and the yard has gotten shadowy, the screen is now in full drive in mode]

demondogdays July 8 2011, 23:35:44 UTC

[Well Kanata is going to be arriving late but he does bring in a present with him. He's going to be looking around curiously though to find Ruri or... well, anybody.]

Haaa... I hope I didn't come too late now.

hontobakabaka July 8 2011, 23:58:24 UTC

[Ruri waves to him as he comes]

"I'm glad you could make it Kanata."

Movie time ooeeooahah July 8 2011, 23:56:29 UTC

[ Ilsa has found herself a nice perch to the back of the viewing area. It's been a while since she's been to the cinema, much longer than she's been in Mayfield, actually. ]

[ Also enjoying the sangria she brought as she watches the film. ]
