[Well. It's better late than never, isn't it?

It'd been a few days now since Yukari's birthday had passed on the nineteenth, and thanks to the kraken, she'd had to delay her plans

(( clean-up, clean up ))

[garudyneinstyle]

[Before people arrive, Yukari can be seen on the shores of the new beach. Things are mostly set up, but she's supposed to be cleaning. It's been so long since she's seen the sun or the shore though that she seems mesmerized. Someone should probably snap her out of it and tell her to get to work already--]

Consider her SNAPPED! Out of it, that is.

[Yukari probably had no way of knowing exactly how many anxiety attacks she gave Simon with that invitation. One, he'd never been to a party. Any type of party. At all. He'd never even had a birthday party of his own for crying out loud. Two, he'd never been invited to one, let alone by a complete stranger. Three, well, he hadn't even been here two days yet. And because he wasn't familiar with technology to the point that he knew it was possible to send a blanket invite to everyone on the comm network, well, he just felt like this Yukari person was being extremely friendly and ohgodWHATDO?!

Eventually he decided to throw caution to the wind and go to this "birthday party" he'd been invited to, despite the very loud, very persuasive voice in the back of his head practically shrieking not to go because it would end badly. Because although people here certainly seemed to be a bit...different than the usual individuals in Gotham, so far the general unease and dude-you-look-like-a-slasher-villain anxiety was still common enough. Hopefully

sjklff HAHA. Excellent |D

[garudyneinstyle]

Oh...!

[He thinks she gave him heart attacks? She's just about read to have one herself, with him suddenly sneaking up on her like that. But then again, she was so absorbed in the scenery, there's...pretty much no greeting that would've avoided that kind of reaction.

...She kind of realizes this, so she takes a few deep breaths and tries to calm down, studying him.

Why is he wearing that mask...?]

H-Hello. Um, no, you're fine, I...I was just going to clean up a bit before people start coming.

[...She wishes she had the other SEES members with her at the moment, but. Welp. She's just going to have to take care of herself.]

[eighteensouls]

Would you like some help?

[Well it's not like he has present to give her. Or would know what to get her without some seriously intrusive mind reading. Helping her get everything cleaned up is probably the next best thing, right?]

(( party/mingling ))

[garudyneinstyle]

[And then people start to arrive. There's even some music playing.

Where is Yukari? Oh, she's around. Exploring. She'll probably find you, but in the meantime--hey, is that a person you don't know? Or maybe you do know them--why don't you say hello?]

(( OOC: Feel free to tag around here, guys! <3 ))

[Unlike meetings and the lockdown, where she can just walk in and help people, Amane's unsure on what to do. Socialising isn't something she do, normally, leaving her with inexperience at this.

One step at a time. Such as wishing the birthday girl a 'happy birthday', and then...something.]

[flowerywinter]

*Just when Fuuka is looking for Yukari, she sees a girl who looks a little lost during the party. She blinks before approaching and taps gently on the shoulder.*

Hey, are you okay?

[twiceinhabited]

[She blinks before looking at the other girl and regaining her composure.]

Oh, yes, I am.

(( the water ))

[garudyneinstyle]

[Did you guys bring your swimsuits/trunks? Yukari hopes so, because the water looks kinda nice...!]

Selphie in the Water! Everyone Come Splash!

[dystopiadreams]

*Selphie was like a - a duck to water. And she oddly resembled one too. With all the flapping she was doing, and that yellow bikini, she did look a bit special. But she was clearly having a lot of fun, chasing the waves and jumping around.

Don't worry, Yukari! She hasn't forgotten it's your birthday. There's a big batch of reasonably edible chocolate cookies and a handmade birthday card waiting for her on the beach that says:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUKARI!~

I totally don't know you, but I hope your birthday is awesome!

Selphie xo

[not_for_cooking]

Onion Knight, on the other hand, was going to stick to the beach, thank you very much! Aside from living in Vatheon, he'd been underwater before, but the only times he'd actually gone swimming was when he'd been turned into a toad.

At least he had the sense to wear something more practical for the beach. Instead of wearing his usual armour, he was wearing a shirt and shorts, but he couldn't quite bring himself to leave his sword back in his room underwater. Who knows what could attack them out here?

That was Selphie out there, wasn't it? He gave her a small wave from the beach, but he wasn't sure if she'd be able to see.

... She did make going out in the water look awfully fun, though.

[dystopiadreams]

Selphie stopped what she was doing to look out onto the beach. He wasn't wearing what he usually did, but she recognised Onion Knight all the same. In her excitement, she lifted a hand and waved brightly, calling loudly back to him, "Hey! Are you coming in?!"

Yeah, she was just a little too busy waving to pay attention to how she was standing, and she flopped suddenly beneath the water. She was in more shallow water, thankfully, and she soon emerged in fits of laughter.

(( food and eventually cake~ ))

[garudyneinstyle]

[Hungry? Grab a snickers You might notice a very long table set up with an assortment of snacks and food; as well as a spot in the middle for cake later on. She's not sure how many people to expect, so she wasn't exactly sure how much food to have the locals bring up--

And gosh, there sure seems to be a lot of it. Whoops?]

open

[breakschains]

[ to be honest, he likes birthdays. he would even celebrate one if there wasn't one had to be celebrated! call it an unbirthday, if you will. either way, there's cake to be had, and that's good enough for him.

too much of it? NGL PROBABLY NOT FOR LONG WITH THIS GUY AROUND - in fact if you've been watching you'll notice he's already eaten about twelve of those cupcakes, and is currently licking the icing of the last off his fingers.

it's probably a good thing that the cake's missing right now, so he can't get into it. he's not very happy about that fact himself, and has ceded himself to simply waiting here for it-

-waiting by sitting on the table and continuously treating himself to anything containing sugar in sight. ]

[garudyneinstyle]

[Well.

Well. At the very least, she doesn't have to worry about wasting any food. Yukari's just...gonna stare for a bit at this guy while he stuffs his face. She's fairly certain she's never met him before, or even seen him around for that matter...but either way, she doesn't want to be rude.

So when she catches herself staring, she grabs one of the few remaining cupcakes for herself, sparing him only the casual, occasional glance.

What should she even say...?]

[breakschains]

[ not even really paying attention to her, absorbed in his own eating - or is he? he's actually much more aware of her than he lets on, even if he doesn't so much as glance in her direction-

-until she takes a cupcake anyway. then he suddenly acknowledges her, leaning over to exhibit a heavily frosted cupcake from seemingly out of nowhere to her. ]

The vanilla ones are better, you know.

[ in a motion of what seemed to be an offer to her, he just as quickly retracts his hand and pops the entire cupcake in his mouth, paper and all.

god this stuff is good. ]

[closed to Minato] (( this will eventually be a movie log...? ))

[garudyneinstyle]

[So after a while, the party is winding down. As far as Yukari can tell, people seem to have enjoyed themselves, though she doesn't really know whether it's because of her birthday, or simply because of their newfound freedom in the sun, and the sea. Both are worth celebrating, so...really, she doesn't mind much either way. But a part of her does hope it's the former.

Most people have left now, and though some nice folk seem to have stuck around to clean up after themselves, it's mostly just Yukari, waiting to be the last one to leave. She's sitting in the sand, and staring as the waves crash in and then flows back out again.

Haha. It looks like she might need another jolt back into reality, but--

She is smiling, and seems oddly content.

How long has it been, since she's had a view like this?]

Awww yeah movie night

[lunateclock]

[The party is indeed winding down, but Minato has not yet gotten to really speak to Yukari, not with the hustle and bustle of the party.

It's quiet now, and he seizes his chance, walking up with his hands in his pockets, ribs healing up nicely already from the kraken attack.]

...Yukari?

(yea) !!

[garudyneinstyle]

--Oh!

[Well, that voice is sufficient enough to break her from her trance, certainly. Yukari turns to face him quickly; a surprised expression at first, but it slowly fades into a smile.

The surprise is a pleasant one.]

Hey, Minato-kun. [Heh.] And here I was thinking you might've left already.

[lunateclock]

[He tilts his head, blinking at her.]

...Ah, no. I never got to say happy birthday, after all.

[And then he pulls a small wrapped gift from his pocket, offering it to her.]

Happy birthday.
