Fifth Floor Common Room; Monday Evening [ 09/20 ].

Sure, Ariel had said just streamers and a banner, but there were balloons now thrown into the mix because she couldn't help it. She and Ellie had gotten up all the decorations, which were all very pretty shades of green, based entirely on the fact that Ariel remembered that green was the color of the shirt she'd helped Chuck pick out. There was still an awful lot of flowers around, too, though who even knew where Ariel was getting them. The banner, meanwhile, was certainly not lacking in sparkle, stretched across the room:


HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHUCK!!!!!


So now there would just be the setting out of all the food and the drinks and ever important CAKE, then waiting for guests and the ever important BIRTHDAY BOY and it would be time to party!


[[ up early because of evil things like working and time zones! Slowly approaching OCD is on the way up! Rock out! ]]

William? Miss his "big brother"'s birthday party? Of course not! So, yep. Here he was, hanging out in a SP because of work fashion.

Rilla tried not to be a complete idiot when she saw William. "Good evening," she said with a concerted effort not to lisp.

"Heeey, little brother--" Who he was fairly sure actually was younger than him (and kind of hoped he was, because otherwise that felt weird to say even if he was his fake little sibling). "You didn't get eaten by piranhas!" Or anything else, but that was the most recent issue, so--

"I sort of missed on checking up on you since... ages." The picnic. Yeah.

Christian was there less because of Chuck's birthday than because of the hostess. Not that he didn't appreciate a proper birthday celebration.

He was on time, seeming cheerful about the entire prospect.

Rilla waved at him. "Christian! It's been simply ages!"

Rilla was slightly prone to exaggeration.

Ellie was not going to miss a birthday party for her brother. She had even helped decorate for the occasion, after all.

Rilla heard the sounds of a party on her floor and wandered down. "Good evening," she said with a smile.

Lindsay considered Chuck to be a friend and he still reminded her of her little brother. So she felt like she should stop by.

Harper had gone on a date with Chuck (well, okay, just a 3-minute one, but it still counted!) so it was only polite that she attend his birthday party. She dressed up (http://us0.meadd.com/photos/09/05/30/18/14920321.jpg) for the occasion in a ruffled pink blouse and slim skirt with a rather wild pattern. And, to top it off, she wore a pink scarf with a totally different pattern. You could never wear too many patterns, as far as Harper was concerned.

Bruce had never talked to Chuck before, but considering where the party was, who was setting it up, and what had happened over the weekend, Bruce felt obliged to make an appearance.

... To the party she was throwing for another guy. There was the potential for awkwardness, but Bruce didn't let things like that slow him down.

Chuck was Leia's roommate, so of course she was there. And not just for the cake, really.

James found out about the party by crashing it.

One wanders a lot when one would rather find food than make it.

He grinned, looking around at the other party-goers.

Ellie placed the cake (http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l165/Landslide418/Miscellaneous/Random/cake.jpg) down in the middle of the refreshments table. She was kind of proud of it considering the short notice. She hoped Chuck liked it, especially.

The birthday boy was... not expecting quite this show, no. You'd have to excuse him for looking a little shell-shocked. He'll probably get over that after a few minutes.

It was a happy sort of dazed, at least. Someone threw him a party! Who wasn't related to him or anything! It was kind of new.

Harper dropped off a small box wrapped in brightly-colored paper. It contained a hat (http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.176237409.jpg) -- not just any hat, but a knit stocking hat with attached crocheted "beard" mask. She'd made it herself.

Bruce had his standard gift ready: an envelope with cash in it. It was the perfect gift for people you didn't know well or at all.
