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!]]

"Very," Zack agreed. "We had a kid show up that weekend."

"Oooooooo," Evie said, delighted and completely breaking character. A spork went behind her ear so she could find it better later. "Really? Boy or girl?" She bounced up on her toes.

"Girl," Zack said. "Called Kanna."

"I'm supposed to give out props, did you want something."

"Ohhh, that's so darling," Evie gushed, then brightened. "And yes! Please! Something that goes well with sporks!"

Zack handed her a small robot and a remote control. "He can hold them for you."

"Ooooo!"

Yeah, this is going to end well.

"Thank you, Zack!" Evie gave the robot the sporks, put it down, and then started the remote.

The robot trundled off toward the crowd. And didn't stop when Evie stabbed the buttons. "Oh, dear...."
