Sixth Floor; Late Tuesday Afternoon and On! [ 09/24 ] -- Ino's Birthday Party!

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

There was hopefully no way that Ino could begrudge Cal having her party a day late, especially since it was a far cry from being a day short. The food he had planned caused him to get some use out of that sixth floor kitchen and space, and he'd been to the task ever since he finished with Oceanography class in hopes to get it finished before everyone started showing up. If they did. He'd handwavily because the mun sucks passed out the invitations through everyone's door, but who only knew with the drama of yesterday.

If no one showed up, he'd have to deal with a pouting Ino. But, on the bright side, he'd have all this delicious Greek food for leftovers basically until eternity, because there was a lot of it.

He'd even decorated a little, subtly, with some occasional touch of purple. And a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY INO!" banner in case anyone couldn't figure out what it was all about. Throw on some music, and there it was. There was nothing to the party part. It was mostly about the food, anyway.

Oh, and Ino. Her, too.


[[ up early for great SP justice! Everyone got invites, so come one, come all, but please wait for some OCD has arrived! ]]

Arrive and Mingle -- 09/24.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

It's not a party unless there's mingling. It's just a law of a nature.

Hannibal didn't have a class so that meant he could spend as much time as he wanted at Ino's birthday party. Yesterday had been a damn good day and he was pleased to see his good mood lingering.

Didi didn't know Ino, but she knew that if there was a party, she wanted to be there, especially if it was her free day. So there she was, placidly nibbling a cupcake as she considered the crowd.

Joan certainly wasn't going to miss Ino's party.

It may have been awhile since Angela had got to talk to Ino, but that really wasn't going to change whether she showed for this or not. She was always going to come.

Glad to be back as a girl, and very cheerful about being here, yeah.

Of course he'd made it in. It was Ino's birthday! That was important, even if he'd already given her his gift.

Anemone still didn't like big crowds, and probably never would, but there was no way she was going to miss Ino's party.

She snagged two of the cupcakes - one for her, one for Gulliver - and found a spot to sit that was just outside the flow of people.

Bobby liked Ino, and also was a pretty big fan of parties. So really, was it any surprise that he was here?

Of course Hurley was here. He had to be here. He'd feel a lousy friend otherwise, for one.

Jennifer couldn't miss out on her big sib's birthday, no way. She was there, smile on her face.

Jack was mingling like a thing what mingles, and hoping that Ino wouldn't yell at him.

For some reason, lots of people yelled at him when he talked.

Karla was there, of course. She and Ino were party-buddies after all! Plus the food had smelled both delicious and unfamiliar.

Really, everything was just great today. It was amazing what being a female again could do for one's outlook.

Hinata would never have been able to live with herself if she'd not shown up to Ino-san's party.

Which was why she slipped in, and prepared to enjoy it.

Azula did not know Ino well but she was curious about the celebrations and turned up on the specified time, no more, no less. Because she was the perfect party guest.

The FOOD! -- 09/24.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

From tzatziki (http://www.skopelos.net/recipes/tzatziki.htm) to olive bread (http://www.greekrecipes.gr/grs/grsp.php?recipeid=231), spanakopita (http://www.lerios.org/recipes/spanakopita.php) to avgolemono (http://www.recipezaar.com/Avgolemono-Soup-Greek-Egg-Lemon-Soup-7602), Cal has not spared himself in providing a veritable Greek feast, even worse than Wednesdays at the diner.

Re: The FOOD! -- 09/24.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Cal. Told you I'd track you down." Dinah grabbed some of the spanakopita and a cupcake, and grinned. "Everything back to the way it was."

The CAKE! -- 09/24.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

Well, the cupcakes, anyway. Cal had managed to try a new twist on the idea of the birthday cake to fit the Greek feast idea and had at least one table dedicated to his baklava cupcake creations (http://cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com/2009/03/pistachio-baklava-cupcake.html).

Re: The CAKE! -- 09/24.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir looked left, then right, and finally made his way in and slipped the cake (http://www.cakeflowers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/cake-flowers-300x300.jpg) in between the baklava cupcakes. He kept himself from taking one only just barely.

Re: The CAKE! -- 09/24.

[glacial_queen]

Karla was quite happily munching on both cupcakes and regular cake. They were both incredibly good, which meant she had to keep having a smidgen more of each to try to decide which was better.

The PRESENTS! -- 09/24.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

There's also, of course, a table for leaving presents for the birthday girl.

Re: The PRESENTS! -- 09/24.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

Hannibal thought his gift (http://t-shirts.cafepress.com/item/kiss-me-im-a-ninja-womens-cap-sleeve-tshirt/174805683) was hilarious. It was shoddily wrapped but still wrapped!

Re: The PRESENTS! -- 09/24.

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

Anemone had a brightly wrapped box (http://www.sinoarts.net/product.php?printable=Y&productid=16230) and handmade card that she left on the table.

The Birthday Girl! -- 09/24.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

This party is basically the antithesis of a surprise party, so she won't be surprised to see you, but, once she pings in, she'd probably love to hear your birthday wishes for her.

Re: The Birthday Girl! -- 09/24.

[intraspective]

Probably love? Try utterly adore and you'd be closer.

Hugs would be even better, really, but for the moment Ino was totally here and totally happy.

...and maybe contemplating ways she could steal all of the baklava cupcakes and hide them from everyone else. They looked so good.

The Ball Pit -- 09/24.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

It should probably be illegal to have a sixth floor post without including a thread specifically for the ball pit.

OOC -- 09/24.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

And it would figure that it winds up I'm not really around much today or tomorrow, but that's why SP rocks, and a thousand apologies for Ino-mun for being roped with a fail-mun for setting this up. But enjoy!

This whole post made me SO FREAKING HUNGRY.

Re: OOC -- 09/24.

[intraspective]

*HUGS* Thank you SO MUCH for setting this up even with your availability~! Eeeee!
