birthday party ☀ open

WHO: Wanijima Akito + GUESTS (and party crashers too if you want)
WHERE: Xavier's School for ImPorts - Gymnasium
WHEN: March 11th @ 5pm
WHAT: BIRTHDAY PARTYYY
WARNINGS: it's a party with a bunch of crazy teenagers and old people.

---

Agito had been acting somewhat suspiciously over the past few weeks but Akito had left him alone, knowing that whatever his other half was up to would be revealed eventually. And with his birthday having come and gone without incident (he and Agito split some pastries and went to the park to play - so, all in all, a good day was had) Akito had no reason to suspect Agito's behaviour had anything to do with it.

Right up until they get back to the school that evening and Agito promptly directs him to the gymnasium.

If he had known there was going to be a party, Akito would have dressed up in something a bit nicer than a pair of coveralls and sneakers.

SOME SUBJECT STARTERS

PRE-PARTY
It's early afternoon and there are a lot of things in need of setting up! While Agito had snuck in last night and set up an area for multiplayer games (some variant of Rock Band being notice amidst the gaming chaos) and rigged the sound system up, there was still the matter of setting up seating, food tables, a pinata, and various other stupid and silly generic 'birthday party' activities.

And whatever else Alison deigned necessary, of course.

Also feel free to deposit any gifts on a small table set aside just for that purpose. If the gift is more practical (like baked goods) it can go on the food table.

eta: Alison will have decorated the area like so - 1 2 3 4


PARTY
Sub-Selections

Food Table -- piled with a mix of finger-food appetizers and a good amount Japanese-style cuisine. And a RAMEN BAR! And a There are also a selection of non-alcoholic beverages available ranging from healthier juices to different flavours of soda pop. There is also a delicious looking strawberry cake. :9

Video Games -- rigged up in a corner with some comfortable seating. Genres range from first-person shooters to racing to co-op fantasy to random, entertaining indie games.

Karaoke -- a party isn't a party without people making fools of themselves with a karaoke machine.

Pinata -- people with blindfolds and blunt-force weapons trying to bash something open for candy. Nothing can go wrong here.

Twister -- because why not?

Dancing -- self-explanatory for a party, hopefully!

Wildcard/Etc. -- whatever other starter selection you can come up with! This log is meant to be a free-for-all, so do what you'd like.


POST-PARTY
After everything is over there's still a mess to clean up!

Akito - regardless of how sleepy he may be by the time things wind down - will stick around to help tidy things up. He will also make sure to very sincerely thank every single guest for coming (doubly so if they brought him a gift!) and offer any leftover food items they might like to take with them.

Are you the caretaker of the group?

[ Because Alison very much seems to be -- to have embraced that role on herself. At least that's how she came across to Raina. Even when she was a near stranger, she spent time comforting Raina in her time of misery. It was admittedly very nice. But she likely goes ten steps further for the people she actually knows and cares about! ]

Well, I do the more "domestic" tasks, I guess. Cooking and cleaning, that kind of thing. But a lot of the time it feels like Sarah's the one who takes care of us.

[At least when it comes to things like infiltrating sketchy "companies" invested in cloning and going on rescue missions. Alison's happy to let Sarah take the lead on those kinds of things, and is even grateful for it.]

Between the five of you, you all have your roles. But I mean more as the emotional support. Unless Sarah takes on that task as well.

[ But really, she came across as tougher to Raina whenever she would see her on the network. A bit more willing to fight if she had to. ]

I'd say that would be Felix, Sarah's foster brother. On top of being a very good friend, he's also a very talented make-up artist who does work with us for events.

[Alison would never miss the opportunity to showcase her staff, even in normal conversation, clearly.]

Oh! I think I met him briefly. He was at the Swear In where we had the terrible weather and were forced to stay in that bunker. Were you here for that? But I would love to see some pictures of some of the makeup he's done.
subourbon: (there's no business like show business)

[personal profile] subourbon 2016-04-16 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'll be sure to have him send some to you! He's very... flexible when it comes to make-up styles and his calming ability has really helped settle some nerves before big events.

[There had been at least one wedding where Alison and Felix had probably been the cause of the nerves as they had argued loudly about how the make-up should be done in front of the bride.]

Now you make me want to have an event that would require full glam and makeup. I don't think my corporate party would fit the bill, but perhaps there could be something. Some formal event for the imPorts. I've been trying to think of ways to up our PR with the native population considering we did take quite a hit after recent events.

[ Recent events such as imPorts refusing a medal from the president herself. What dumb, ungrateful imPorts. ]

Like a gala of some sort? Or a charity fundraiser? There's a number of different possibilities.

[personal profile] flowerette 2016-04-19 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! Something like that. What about a date auction?

[ She laughs, but as she thinks about it what ABOUT a date auction? It would likely be a success with the imPort population because she's sure natives would pay ANY price to go out with the imPort of their dreams. ]

I mean, I imagine that would raise a lot for charity.
subourbon: (maybe this time)

[personal profile] subourbon 2016-04-19 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
I think it would definitely be a big hit with the "native population", but do you think we could get enough people to volunteer for it?

[Although she could easily imagine Felix and Cosima being enthusiastic about being auctioned off.]

You would be surprised by how many people would jump at the opportunity to see how much they could sell themselves for. They can be pretty vain when it comes down to it. We can toss the idea out to a few of our friends to see what they think, and if they like it, maybe we can bring it to the network to gauge interest?

I suppose it's worth asking around. Just as long as no kids are involved, I guess it would be pretty harmless.

[And in Alison's mind, anyone under the age of nineteen is absolutely a kid.]
flowerette: ([ 151 ])

[personal profile] flowerette 2016-04-24 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Definitely no harm in asking.

[ She grins and then takes a step back. ]

Well, I suppose I'll leave you to do your thing. I really should start trying to sneak out anyway. I'm sure Akito won't notice the 'older one' missing. Particularly not when he and the other boys are so engrossed in their videogames.
subourbon: (come to the fun home)

[personal profile] subourbon 2016-04-24 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure he's just delighted that you were able to come in the first place! Let me know what kind of response you get with the fundraising idea!
flowerette: ([ 76 ])

[personal profile] flowerette 2016-04-24 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. You enjoy the rest of your time, and I'll talk to you soon.

[ With a wave, Raina heads back to the main room. And only after a few more minutes, she slips out of the school and heads home. ]
