[ Ahiru's Birthday Party - Open Log ]

[sword-and-quill.livejournal.com]

When; Saturday, May 10th
Rating; G-PG? Unless someone causes trouble.
Characters; Open to All
Summary; The Opera Abandoned opens it doors to the City for the day, shelter from the rainstorm and a cheery atmosphere within - food, cakes, decorations, music---all arranged by the Host Club and a few of Ahiru's close friends---all for the sake of celebrating Ahiru's 16th birthday as the very first birthday and birthday celebration the girl has ever had.
Log; 

On the biggest table in the largest hall of the Opera was a large array of foods and drinks, all spread out on a long white cloth. And in the center stood two cakes, side by side.

Fakir leaned off to the side by the wall, arms crossed and his serious expression contrasting the cheerful white and yellow streamers and balloons that adorned the enclosure. He wasn't really looking forward to enduring the noisy and social gathering that was about to ensue, but this had been what Ahiru wanted to experience. And even if he wanted nothing more than to slink off somewhere alone, he had a duty to be present...and protect the Opera residents, if necessary.

Not that he wasn't also curious as to how the redhead would react when she finally arrived.The Host Club had certainly put a lot of work into this, for which he was grateful. The ex-knight didn't have much knowledge about parties and the like, but they certainly seemed to have outdone themselves. He wished he could have done more, but anything in a normal social life was pretty much alien to him.

Fakir sighed, crossing one leg across the other--and winced when his foot came in contact with something. The culprit--a plastic pink bird-- toppled to the floor and he scowled at it.

Really. Weren't the pink flamingos a bit much? Ahiru liked birds well enough, but the damn things were everywhere.

(I did an action post part above, but don't feel like you have to do the same if you want to go the simple route.) ♥ I didn't elaborate too much on what the Host Club prepared, since I didn't have anything too clear, so feel free to do so yourselves if you wish, HC members! And if there's anything I need to change/edit, do let me know. Thank you! ]

"Uh, um...y-you're welcome?" No wonder why Fakir had been so adamant about him not coming here...oh no...how could she make sure things would go alright with him here...?

"Ah, no, it was a surprise for me! But I think Tamaki did the decorations. He's in the Host Club."

((OOC: ...I agree. Tamaki and Femio must meet.))

[randomspotlight.livejournal.com]

"Ah, surprise parties are the best kind!" Femio paused for a moment to admire a pink flamingo. "...Tamaki, was it? I must meet him and this... "host club" in person!"

((OOC: Yes, yes they do. XD I'm going to sleep in a minute though... the muse wants to ruffle Fakir's feathers a little bit, and then I'm off. Backlog this later?))

[quackingly.livejournal.com]

"...They'd probably like you!" Ahiru said, mostly truthful. They'd like him unless he started scaring away their business.

((OOC: Sure, that's fine! <3 Pique and Rue are having to backlog, too. Sleep well! Oh, and your Femio is freaking awesome and I love you, BTW. ♥))

[randomspotlight.livejournal.com]

"...You think so?!" Femio asked, becoming more excited. "I do so love party planning... But all this has an air of divine inspiration!" He paused for a moment, considering. "By the way, mon amour... what is the occasion?"

((OOC: DON'T TELL HIM, OR HE WILL NEVER LEAVE AHIRU ALONE AND FAKIR WILL HAVE TO KILL HIM. XD And thank you, BTW. I'm having way too much fun playing him. ♥ ))

"Oh, uhhhhh..." The last thing she wanted was to call more attention on herself. But she didn't want to lie either...She glanced around, trying to think of what to say. "It's...just...in honor...of a birthday..."

[randomspotlight.livejournal.com]

"A birthday?! I should have guessed... It seems that your City does find reason to celebrate, even in this... obscene weather."

[quackingly.livejournal.com]

Ahiru fidgeted. "Well, I guess you can't really change when your birthday is, so...!"

[randomspotlight.livejournal.com]

Femio blinked as the statement slowly sunk in. Then...

It is your birthday?"

((OOC: Yep, Fakir is going to have to maim him now. XD))

[quackingly.livejournal.com]

"Eep!" She quickly waved her hands in front of her to disagree, but....it'd be a lie to say the party wasn't for her. Her name was even on the cake..."Ah, well, my birthday was in April, but...the party's for me, yes..."

[randomspotlight.livejournal.com]

Femio wasn't listening anymore. "Not another word, se vous plait. I shall ensure that this birthday party shall be perfect, worthy of a princess such as yourself! I shall not leave your side, lest your evening be marred!"

[quackingly.livejournal.com]

"Y-you won't leave?!" Oh no!! Bad idea, bad idea!! "Nonono, o-other girls need...need your company, too!"

Conflict immediately swept over his face. "...The other...girls?"

That was a very unfortunate predicament Femio found himself in. He couldn't leave her...it was her birthday, and as a rightful prince, it was his duty to make her happy...but he couldn't choose one girl over another! How cruel that would be!

Think, Femio, think! There must be a way to reconcile these goals! You must prove yourself a worthy prince... and not break too many hearts in the process!

"Ah! Fear not, mon amour I have the perfect solution! You must introduce me to the other fair young maidens in this place! Then, no one will be left heartbroken!"

((OOC: Gosh, the muse is more persistent than I thought. XD))

[quackingly.livejournal.com]

"Uh. Um. Uh." Ahiru stared blankly at him. How had he resisted that?! It worked with Kraehe...!!! She looked wildly around for one of the other guests, trying to find a way to get herself out of this predicament.

((OOC: XD But so....so perfect.))

[randomspotlight.livejournal.com]

Femio was very pleased with himself. The perfect solution! He was on the way to redemption, he was sure of that now. He gave Ahiru his most glittering smile.

"So... where shall we begin?"

[quackingly.livejournal.com]

"Uh...uh...I think...I think I have to go check on...Rue! And see how she's doing!" Ahiru quickly began to walk away. "ThanksFemiogoodtoseeyouagain!"

[randomspotlight.livejournal.com]

And... she was leaving? This could not be! He could not show preference to one lady over another, it would be...

But she was gone, lost in the crowd of people. He had failed, yet again, all due to this cursed body of his!

"Oh, Heaven! Is this your true will? Your punishment? Am I never meant to gain the love of a pure and beautiful maiden such as she?"

But then again... she had said... that there were other worthy princesses here as well, had she not? It was his duty to find them as well!

It made sense now... She had sacrificed her own happiness so that he could fulfill his purpose, to atone for his sins! He smiled in the direction where she disappeared. "Truly, I am not worthy of such goodness!"

"As you can plainly see, she's made her choice," Fakir supplied coolly, intercepting in time to block the retreating Ahiru out of view. "And you will not bother her again. Is that clear?"

The ex-knight pointed a finger sharply toward the door, not even attempting to mask the unpleasant expression from his face. He had been standing by too long, brooding over the whole unfolding situation. And he'd had about as much of this idiot as he could take. "Now leave."

[ ooc: Sorry about the late reply. I was gone all of Sunday. And now I'm kind of...dealing with something. Which might warrant a haitus of some sort. My apologies for any problems. ]

[randomspotlight.livejournal.com]

And now him again. Hmph. He'd thought that he'd delt with him earlier. No matter. He could live in his delusions as long as he wanted.

"I fail to see how that was a choice. And I will leave her alone for the rest of the evening. I have the manners of a gentleman, unlike others I could mention."

He walked towards the door, fully intending to sneak back in later. No one was going to rain on his parade.

((OOC: No problem. <3 Hope it's nothing too serious.))

[sword-and-quill.livejournal.com]

"...Leave her alone for good," Fakir stated clearly without even turning around. "I won't put up with you flirting with bothering her any further." He paused for a moment, considering how to put his situation with Ahiru in terms the so-called 'prince' would understand. "I'm...courting that girl. So stay away from her."

And he was glad his face was turned in the opposite direction, as he could already feel the heat inflaming it. Damn that frivolous idiot for making him say silly words!

[ ooc: AKA, Fakir's way of attempting to politely say: "Back off, bitch! She's mine!" *shot* ]

[randomspotlight.livejournal.com]

Femio paused for a moment, turning around to look at Fakir, but his back was facing him. Did he just say... courting?

"Well then...may the best man win."

((OOC: Femio's way of saying, "suuuuuure she is" <3 lol))

[sword-and-quill.livejournal.com]

Fakir stared blankly at the wall across the room, all traces of embarrassment quickly fading from his features.

He must have heard that wrong. There was no way that stupid womanizer had just seriously challenged him. One of Fakir's hands clasped into a fist at his side. What did it take to get through that boy's goddamn thick skull?

...No. It didn't matter. There was no threat. He didn't know a damn thing about Ahiru to begin with---much less what she really was. And what kind of competition was some guy that couldn't keep his eyes off of every woman in a twenty foot radius? Hmph.

Nonetheless, he was still an annoyance. And it was obvious that he made Ahiru uncomfortable. If he crossed any more lines, then Fakir would deal with him. But for now, the dark-haired writer contented himself with knowing what the poor excuse for a prince didn't.

"You lost before you even started."

[ ooc: Fakir says, "Hah. Competition? That's a laugh." ]
