2nd Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

After handwavily posting flyers around the dorms that said,
Party!
2nd Floor Common Room
Happy Birthday, Turtle!
Free Cake

Tannim headed back to the 2nd floor common room. He uncovered the sheet cake he'd ordered from J, GOB. It was decorated to look like a fifteen-dollar bill. It said, "In Turtle We Trust," and the center picture was a rough drawing of a girl's head with a long brown braid. He set up bowls of chips and other snacks around the room, and checked the fridge to make sure the sodas and Gatorade he'd bought were still there.

He set up his portable stereo and put in a CD. He wasn't sure what kind of music Turtle liked, so he'd brought an eclectic mix of his own favorites. Carbon Leaf, Nickel Creek and Gaelic Storm thrown in with Rush, They Might Be Giants, and a couple of mash-ups he'd downloaded. If those weren't to everyone's tastes, it was easy enough to change CDs.

He sat down on the couch, opened a Gatorade and hoped people would show up.

Mingle!

Like a mingling thing.

Teddy was there. Mingling. Mingling in a way that didn't actually seem very social.

John mingled. He may have been wearing shin guards under his jeans in honor of the birthday gal.

Marco was there. In a Hawaiian shirt. Sometimes, it's best not to ask.

Tori was there, enjoying herself.

Cake, food and drinks!

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

Nothing alcoholic or cursed, unless you've brought it yourself.

Stroking her chin thoughtfully, Turtle inspected the cake with amused grin. "Thing is," she commented, "in, oh, ten, fifteen years, everyone's gonna have bills like this in their wallets. I can see it already."

There was cake. River inspected it carefully, then grinned and picked a piece.

Tori noted the birthday cake and took a piece.

Birthday!

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

Greet the birthday girl and leave presents.

Annette's gift (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/serenityunleashed/plush_turtle.jpg) to Turtle was just too cute to pass up.

Re: Birthday!

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

She liked the city, so Teddy hoped that she liked the game (http://www.gameoutfitter.com/images/BG_USA_WebBigGBNewYorkCity2001.jpg) as well.

River didn't know Turtle that well, and hadn't actually known about the birthday beforehand. Still, she'd found a blue silk ribbon for her hair which she'd wrapped in aluminium foil.

Willow liked Turtle's business skills, so when she saw this present (http://shop.vermontteddybear.com/businesswoman02.html#) she knew she had to get it for her.

Re: Birthday!

Billy had found out about this at the last minute, so the only thing he had to give her was money. About 50 bucks.

Tori hoped Turtle would enjoy her present (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0471733067.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg).

Katara figured the best thing to give the other girl with the braid was hair ribbons. And a few beads for hair loopies of course.

Tannim's gift was a small box containing a silver-plated turtle pendant. (http://pics.livejournal.com/sonofdragons/pic/0000geb9)

Linger and Observe!

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

Especially if you're a squirrel or a shrub.

Re: Linger and Observe!

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette was observing. She was observing very well from her place in a nice comfy chair. She might have been looking to see if Dick was here too. Just cause she's a nice girlfriend like that.

Re: Linger and Observe!

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow liked lingering and observing. She also happened to have some nuts with her in case any squirrels wanted any.

Yes, she did always carry them with her. It was Willow. Be glad she didn't have them alphabetized to boot.

The squirrel in the corner took copious notes between bites of acorn.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TURTLE! Annette 'n Teddy talk about the said state o' Chad's boots. Probably not euphemism. Poor Teddy tells John Connor the unsmited about his hangover, Billy 'n Teddy make with the small talk, John Connor invites Annette to use his hot tub and still remains unsmited, though not unkicked after chatting with the birthday girl. He was wearing shinguards. V. clever. Annette covers Turtle in glitter. Fandom crushed as sudden onslaught of boykissy not immediate result. But there's cake and presents, so life's pretty good. And Willow gave me acorns because she loooooooooves me.

OOC

As it should be.

Luff you like whoa for the earliness! *offers cake, pie, and booze*

Birthday Girl got suckered into a shift at work and will woefully disappear between 8;00 pm and 1;00 am EST. We'll rock the SP hardcore if we gotta.
