Third floor common room, Monday evening - PARTY TIME!

Never leave decorating for a party to the mellow. There were some streamers tossed around and one of those fold-out crinkly hanging ball things dangling from a string that was duct taped to the ceiling. A stack of festive party hats tilted rather precariously on top of Jude's displaced stereo, which was playing something bouncy and probably from before he was born.

Food, however, was an excellent thing to leave to the mellow. Well, to the Jude anyway. A mismatched array of bowls held a mismatched yet delicious array of snacks and there were drinks of all kinds "liberated" from every common room that had anything in the fridge. Sadly, there were no milkshakes. Most of Jude's efforts had been put into the cake. The triple-layer (the base in chocolate, the middle slab in white, and the top in orange) cake decorated in as many clashing colours of icing as Jude could find. There was bright orange trim with purple and blue rosettes wherever he could fit them, and 'happy birthday, Rikku' in shaky cursive across the very top in hot pink. Sprinkles, marzipan, and gum drops were present in abundance. It was a cavity waiting to happen. And Jude was making sure no one touched it until all sixteen candles had been blown out.

Of course, until then, he was just going to sing "Sixteen Candles" to himself. A lot.

[[Rikku's impromptu birthday party is now open! OCD coming up, go and play!]]

"Well, he'd have both of us on him for that one, I think..." Setsuna offered, trying to make better of the situation, although rather confused how things got so flaily.

Oh, wait. Hugging. That's right. She let out a nervous chuckle.

"Oh, yeah. Totally. I mean, it'd be bad. I told him I'd get Aly in on it, too." She nodded, rubbing her arms. "Anyway I, uh ..."

Rikku tried to think back to a safe conversational topic they'd hit on, and wasn't having much luck. "Uh ... thanks for coming to the party?"

"Um, hey, no problem." Setsuna rubbed the back of her neck. "I, uh, didn't even know about it, I was just following the sound of the music and....found it."

Rikku laughed. "There are a few people here I don't even know. Isn't it great? I love parties!"

"I'm not usually one for them," Setsuna admitted, "but I'd feel terrible if I missed your birthday party, Rikku."
