It's Rapunzels birthday.

When; Thursday night
Rating; PG-ish
Characters; Charlie, Rapunzel, Party invitees.
Summary; Charlie's trying to throw her best friend a surprise birthday party and may have botten in over her head.
Log;


Rapunzel was one of several people in the City that Charlie thought was important. In fact, Charlie'd quite easily say Rapunzel was her best friend. When she heard Rapunzels' birthday was coming, Charlie wanted to do something about it so, after telling several of their friends about it, Charlie spent the last several days gathering what she needed for the party.

There was a cake which Charlie helped make. There was a table covered in other kinds of foods, too. Smaller cakes, candies, sandwiches, fruit and vegetable trays and several kinds of drinks. Some with alcohol and some without.

And this all took place in the rooftop garden of Charlie's apartment. Most of the vegetables and fruits are gone. (protip; they're on the table covered in food). This leaves several kinds of flowers decorating the place. And there were floating lanterns, unlit, set on a table. All of them had been made by various party-goers and Charlie and she'd left a few unfinished in case people wanted to work on those.

Tied to the corners of the table were a few lit lanterns that burned harmlessly. There were also strings of dragonfly lights strung around the area, some of which shift color very very slowly.

Enjoy!

Oh, you're not? Is that how you greet people where you're from?

[Tentatively, he puts his hand out as well and somewhat shakes hers, unsure.]

I don't know if it's how you greet people back home, but I've seen people do it here, so...

[So she shakes his hand anyway!]
beyourarmy: (Cheerful)

I usually just greet good friends with a hug, and everyone else gets 'Hi!'

Typically, people in my society do this whole bowing thing. I don't care for it.
tangledintower: (-Fond-)

I like the idea of just saying hi. Oh, and the hugging. That sounds nice too.
beyourarmy: (Sweet Smile)

[personal profile] beyourarmy 2012-06-25 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, handshakes are kind awkward for me.

So get prepared once we know each other better!
tangledintower: (-Fashionable.-)

[personal profile] tangledintower 2012-06-28 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
They're weird to me too.

[She laughs, smiling at him.]

Thank you for coming to the party...I didn't know that Charlie was throwing one.
beyourarmy: (Cheerful)

[personal profile] beyourarmy 2012-06-28 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.... I don't quite get the point of touching someone so formally. I kinda get the distance thing people in Japan do, but I don't like it.

[He grins.]

She's full of surprises. And clearly cares a lot about you.
tangledintower: (-Fond-)

[personal profile] tangledintower 2012-06-28 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
She's my coworker and my best friend...I'm really glad to know her.
beyourarmy: (Dumbfounded)

[personal profile] beyourarmy 2012-06-28 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? Where do you work?

Come to think of it...I never even asked her that.
tangledintower: (-Yay!-)

[personal profile] tangledintower 2012-06-29 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, down at the Jasmine Dragon. Best tea in the City!
beyourarmy: (Cheerful)

[personal profile] beyourarmy 2012-06-29 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't had tea in a while. I should stop by sometime.

What're your hours
tangledintower: (-Determination-)

[personal profile] tangledintower 2012-06-29 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[She gives him aaaall the information about the tea shop. All. of. it.

You got her into work mode, Setsuna. Good going!]
beyourarmy: (Sweet Smile)

[personal profile] beyourarmy 2012-06-29 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[He laughs. Almost impressed.]

You really remember all that stuff? I couldn't keep that straight. I barely remember what I do at the zoo.
tangledintower: (-Skip-)

[personal profile] tangledintower 2012-07-01 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
You work at the zoo? Really? That's so cool!!
beyourarmy: (That smile)

[personal profile] beyourarmy 2012-07-01 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
If you like that much, you should come see it. I'll give you a tour if you do!
tangledintower: (-Joy!-)

[personal profile] tangledintower 2012-07-03 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Really?

That would be fantastic! Thank you so much!
beyourarmy: (Sweet Smile)

[personal profile] beyourarmy 2012-07-04 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Don't forget then. Go to the zoo, but don't go too far in. Message me first so I can meet you. Otherwise the place will change on you and I might not be able to find you.
tangledintower: (-Victory!-)

[personal profile] tangledintower 2012-07-04 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I will! The first time I went to the zoo, it changed on me and I ended up getting lost and stuck there overnight.
beyourarmy: (Sweet Smile)

[personal profile] beyourarmy 2012-07-04 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Then, yeah, I definitely need to guide you, and I will, too. Just don't forget! Message me when you get there. Then I'll show you all the dragons and stuff.
tangledintower: (-Joy!-)

[personal profile] tangledintower 2012-07-07 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
I'd love that, thank you so much!
