[ Ahiru's Birthday Party - Open Log ]

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.

[ ooc: This can be comment logged or action post logged, whichever you prefer! (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! ]

"Good point."

Guy's gloved hand popped up in an OH YEAH gesture. During his project he was working on for Natalia, he had been crafting miniatures of people. Guy pulled a small wooden box out of his pocket and offered it to Ahiru. Inside was a small wooden miniature of both Ahiru and Fakir, complete with holes in the head. Not to resemble idiocy but for threading onto a necklace.

"It's a double gift. Do what you want with it, Ahiru."

She gasped when she opened the box, slowly taking out the tiny miniature of Fakir. "This is...us! Me and Fakir!" She glanced up at Guy. "Did you...did you make these? They're perfect!"

"Yep, I did. I had a little time on my hands working on something similar, so I decided to make this as a gift. I'm glad you like them. Of course, be sure to share."

A nervous laugh escaped Guy's lips, hoping she'd understand.

"Share?" She glanced down at the figures, trying to figure out how she could share them. "...You mean, I should show them to Fakir and the others? I bet they would like to see those..."

Nope, it was a lost cause. Oh well. Hopefully she'd do something useful with them.

"Haha, don't worry about it. You know, do you have any party games planned?"

[identity profile] quackingly.livejournal.com 2008-05-11 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hmmmm..." She swayed back and forth from one foot to the other. "I don't know...what's a party game?"

[identity profile] amazing-guy.livejournal.com 2008-05-11 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Blink, blink.

"You don't know?"

[identity profile] quackingly.livejournal.com 2008-05-11 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I know what games are...but I'm not really sure what people are supposed to do at parties."

"I seem to remember that spanking the birthday girl was a requirement. I wonder who'd do that...."

[identity profile] quackingly.livejournal.com 2008-05-11 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahiru blushed, quickly clasping her hands behind her back and in front of her rump. "Sp-spanking?! Really??"

That reaction was waaaay to cute for comfort.

"One for every year you've lived."

[identity profile] quackingly.livejournal.com 2008-05-11 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh!" She laughed nervously. "Every year I've lived? Well, that won't be very many--"

Wait. Even if as a duck she was only a few years old, her body as a girl was much older. She squeaked. "Wait, sixteen??"

[identity profile] amazing-guy.livejournal.com 2008-05-11 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ahiru. Did you just have to count how old you were?"

[identity profile] quackingly.livejournal.com 2008-05-11 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Uhhhhh!" Quick Ahiru, think, think! "I just...wasn't thinking right for a moment!"
