5th Floor Common Room, Tuesday evening

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

With Liir's help, the common room was transformed into a vivid party room. Purple streamers were hung, balloons in every color were tied around, some left loose to pop or kick like some people liked to do (not her, geeze), and HAPPY BIRTHDAY INO! was everywhere.

Music was going and Amber was adding finishing touches to the gift table; little shiny curly things in purple everywhere. Hopefully Ino liked purple. While she was doing that, Liir was busy in the kitchen, getting the food in order and her mouth was watering just smelling some of what he had cooked.

Yay, party!

[Liir lovingly modded with permission and up early for timezone goodness, woot! Please wait for OCD is up!]

Arrive/Mingle

As you do!

Hurley showed up, having run out to get a gift for the birthday girl earlier. Silly things like this, taking him by surprise.

Ichigo arrived after spending most of his day flailing about what to get. Things like that just shouldn't sneak up on him. He needed more time so he could call Karin and demand advice.

Ino had been listening for the sounds of a party from her room, not wanting to show up while they were still getting ready or anything.

She bounced down the hall, and grinned. "Wow."

Romeo didn't know it was Ino's birthday, but he could hardly skip the party when it was practically in his room. One quick trip to town later, he was back, ready to mingle.

"Oooh, I like the color scheme," said Hoshi, taking in the decorations.

Chad would definitely not be able to miss a little sibling's birthday.

Not when he was actually aware of it, anyway.

Prince Oscar Pedro came, too, thankfully without the party hat Chad tried to talk him into, after a lot of convincing in the form of his claws, which might have explained a bandage or two on the tall guy.

It was his sister's birthday! It wasn't as if Jeff was not going to show up.

Especially since it was on his floor.

He still managed to get lost for a lot of it, but somehow, he made it there in one piece.

Angela was never one to miss out on a party. Especially not a party for someone she liked.

She was there, and cheerfully mingling with anyone and everyone.

Ned popped in after finding one of the posters, carrying a small present.

Hannibal stopped by, happy to be at a party for someone he liked and carrying a small card.

Tony was there, wearing a jaunty little hat he'd picked up in a thrift store in Vancouver.

He wasn't sure yet if "jaunty" was a good look for him.

As promised (and for the sake of his own head), Cal showed up at Ino's birthday party. The bit of a grin he wore faded slightly as he saw how many other people had actually shown up, but his focus on was finding just a few out of the flock.

Oh, oh--there were too many people in here, but it was Ino-san's birthday and how would that look if she missed it?

Hinata inched into the room, sticking to the sides, and trying not to be to uncomfortable with all the people.

Dōjima had run over to the mainland quick to pick up a gift after seeing the posters, but now she was here, and ready to party.

Jan peered into the common room, not entirely sure what was going on, but it was for Ino, and so he didn't want to miss it.

When no one chased him away, he limped in, looking around curiously.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir was around, making sure that the table was well-stocked.

There was a party and it was for someone Summer knew and liked. That was a good enough reason for her to show up.

Michael strolled in, presentless but at least there.

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

Molly was there, and feeling kind of shy. Still, it was Ino. How could she not come?

Naomi was definitely there, she wasn't going to miss this.

Food/Cake

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

The cake (http://www.pixiedustcakes.co.uk/pastel_daisies.htm) was the focus of the table, of course, but the rest of the food was just as appetizing.

Chocolate chip muffins (http://community.livejournal.com/food_porn/4877299.html#cutid1), chocolate hazelnut spiced cookies (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/CHOCOLATE-HAZELNUT-SPICED-COOKIES-242042), honey cake (http://community.livejournal.com/food_porn/4872618.html#cutid1), all manner of fresh fruits cut up, crepes with chocolate and bananas and whipped creame. There were also more traditional treats that he'd gone out and gotten: pretzels and chips and a (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/BLUE-DEVIL-CHEESE-AND-BACON-DIP-243227) few (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/CARAMELIZED-ONION-DIP-WITH-CILANTRO-GARLIC-PITA-CRISPS-236164) different (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/CRUDITES-AND-DIPS-235647) dips.

Also up there were all manner of drinks, colas and lemonades. There were so many things to eat or drink that it was entirely moddable almost too much for the table.

All in all, it was certainly a spread. Brotherly duties had definitely been done.

Hurley spent much of his time over by the food table.

The dips were delicious.

Presents

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Yay goodies!

Re: Presents

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber had a large gift bag full of tissue paper. A lot of tissue paper. Plus a few (http://www.soxeteer.com/catalog/images/toe_kneehightoe-k6-894.jpg) more (http://photos.travisswicegood.com/d/3062-2/Purple_Teddy.jpg) things (http://www.thelovelyroom.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/gayleschocolates_flowers.jpg) as well (http://www.houstoncrafts.com/pics/beaded/wooden-flowered-beaded-bracelet.jpg). There was also a twenty-five dollar gift certificate tucked down inside the bag, for Turtle & Canary.

Yes, Amber knew the gifts she picked out were oddly cute. Ino ought to love them. She hoped.

Dance

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Shake your booty! Music is entirely moddable!

Re: Dance

[intraspective]

Ino beamed at Liir as she stepped out into the space to dance. "So much fun tonight."

OOC

And that is all! Thank you to new_to_liirness for the help!

Woe. Sorry I missed it!
