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!]

"Achey. How's yours? You had more than I did." Parker debates bringing down the party with Darla news, and decides on 'not.' "If you give me the streamers, I'll twist them, then Anakin can do the fetch-the-cookies trick and stick them up. And why don't we have a chair, anyway?"

Rory handed over the streamers. "I have a couch," she said, wobbling slightly on the sofa in question. "And I have glitter, too. That's got to be good for something."

Parker was quickly tearing them into long pieces, then rolling them up and twisting them so they'd be curly. "You do have a couch. And a strong chance of concussion, but I'm sure the Glitter-Bearer will watch out for that." Parke looked at the couch dubiously. "I'm not getting up there. I'm only an inch or so taller than you out of heels. No point."

"There will be no concussing," Anakin said, looking up a at Rory. "And I'm also not going to be the party entertainment," he added, sticking a piece of tape to a streamer and shooting it up towards the ceiling with an incredible lack of anything resembling a clue about how to make thing pretty.

He smiled at Parker. "After a few aspirin and about a liter of water this morning, I was fine."

"No concussing," Rory affirmed, reaching a hand up to the ceiling to try to prettify the streamer Anakin had just sent up.

Anakin shot another streamer into the air.

He might be making little "zzzz..pow!" noises as they hit the ceiling, but he's not exactly aware of it.

"Are you making little noises?" Rory asked, looking down at him with a raised brow.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Um," Anakin replied, turning bright red.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory's smile made it evident that she thought Anakin's odd little noises were quite possibly the cutest thing ever.

"You are very silly," she finally said, reaching hand down to smooth his hair affectionately.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Um," Anakin repeated, then tossed another streamer into the air to stick to the ceiling.

He was very careful not to make any noises while he was doing it.

Rory flailed as she leaned to curl the streamer. "Gah. I wonder if I'm still growing. Because 5'7" is not tall enough for jobs like this."

Anakin reached up and put both hands around her waist. "You fall off and you'll end up a lot shorter," he warned. "And then you'd be in the clinic, and that would make me sad."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"That would make me sad too," Rory said, grinning down at him and adjusting the streamer. "Maybe I should get down, huh?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"That would be a good idea, yeah," Anakin said, nodding. "I think we've streamer-ed enough."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Pretty," Rory agreed, poking at a streamer a final time before bracing her hands on Anakin's shoulders and carefully hopping down.
