Second Floor Common Room (starting in the late afternoon and continuing into evening)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory had streamers and glitter and a newly-made, orange-and-white banner that read "HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALLY."

But Rory is not that tall. So she was having a bit of trouble hanging up the banner and streamers.

Well. She was having trouble inasmuch as she was being more flaily than usual.

[ooc: Open to all, because OMG CALLY'S BIRTHDAY!]

Anakin, showered, back from town and in no way as hungover as he had been that morning, wandered into the common room.

"Need a hand?" he asked.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yes. You? Are perfect," Rory replied, grinning over her shoulder as she balanced on a couch to hold the banner on the wall. "Can you hold this up so I can tape it?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"I kind of like that as a greeting," he said. "I think everyone should tell me I'm perfect when I come into a room."

He walked over to where she was and held out a steadying hand to keep her from flailing off of the couch.

"How high do you want it?" he asked, reaching into the Force. "About there?"

Parker wandered in, and cocked an eye at the banner-hanging. "How old is she today, anyway?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Seventeen," Rory replied, smiling. "Wee little Cally is growing up, aw."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker rolled her eyes. "She's only a month younger than I am." She looked around. "Where's the cake?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron entered, carrying the drinks Anders had asked him to buy along with some chocolate cake.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yay, it's a...Cam!" Rory guessed, spying the cake. "I still have issues with you and John, if I'm just going on sight."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I'm the cool and non pudgy one," Cameron rolled his eyes and put the bottles down on the table.

After stopping by Rory's room and finding no one there, Molly went to the common room to look for her.

"Oh," she said as she walked in and saw the banner. She went over to Rory. "Hey, I think I left my game in your room last night." She looked around the room at the decorations. "Cally's birthday? Is it today? I didn't know."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Rory said over her shoulder, smiling. "I didn't know until this morning, when Anders came by."

She dug her keys out of her pocket. "You can totally go get your game if you want," she said, holding the keys out. "And you don't even have to worry about Vladdie, since I've got him napping in the bathroom so that he won't mess with the cake."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly took the keys from Rory. "Is the party starting soon? Because I'd really like to be here, but I have plans to go to the game night up on the fourth floor at 7:30."

Bringing in the birthday girl . . .

After dinner which hasn't been RPed, OMG and on the way back up to the room, Anders pauses outside the door to the common room and tells Cally, "Hey, let's stop in really quick and say hi to people, okay?"

Grinning broadly, he squeezes her hand and opens the door. "After you."

Cally walks in, and as no one has seemingly turned out the lights or hidden behind couches or somesuch, merely rolls her eyes at the banner.

"You really couldn't help yourself to the whole big party idea, huh?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Happy birthday, Cally," Rory said warmly. "There's cake, too."

Anders just looks as innocent as possible. "I have no idea what you're talking about. I had nothing to do with any of this. Really."

Cordy staggers out of her room, after leaving Rory's earlier to pass out again after taking a shower.

She walks over to the common room and looks at the streamers.

"Birthday? Tell me there's no alcohol and kissy involved this time."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

'it's Cally's birthday. So probably just Anders kissy. And possibly some alcohol, though I won't be partaking," Rory replied, batting at a streamer.

Bridge wanders into the Common Room. And is promptly very, very confused.

"I'm very confused," he says.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Cally's birthday?" Rory said, pointing to the banner.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Bridgey!" Rory called, walking over from where she'd been talking to the birthday girl (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/460566.html?thread=21116694#t21116694). "Need to talk to you. If you have a sec."

Marty comes into the common room after spending the day on the mainland and sees the banner for Cally. He then silently curses to himself for not knowing and not having a present on hand.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Marty!" Rory said, probably a bit too brightly. "Hi! How are you?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Hey Marty!" Bridge waves cheerfully.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Blank! Hey, dude," Anders calls over, waving. "Glad you could make it on such short notice. 'cause like, yeah. Pretty much no notice, really, because I suck."
