Happy Birthday Mitsuru

[drugsnotclubs]

Who: WHOEVER WANTS TO COME YES EVEN YOU
Where: The clubhouse
What: Child soldiers for an occult corporation try and throw a perfectly normal birthday party for a billionaire heiress.

"But Suze!" You may say! "I didn't get an invite/I don't have CR with anyone involved!!!"

So what, just say you got a dubious invite over OKCindr. Maybe it's a ransom letter. Maybe it's a promise for "fun ;) ". Just pretend the spambot got you here in the funniest manner possible. EVERYONE IS WELCOME.

Warnings: im really hoping we don't have to put anything in this section y'all better behave for the birthday girl or she's gonna have to punish you.





The clubhouse sure is decorated! It's a mishmash of ideas- scattered balloons strewn across the floor, a few streamers here and there. Someone found some extremely tacky fake-gold plastic plates. It very much has the feeling of people who were sort of trying, but also sort of thinking it's funny not to actually look nice. After all, the theme is normal-chic.

There's a stack of party hats near the door, for anyone who wants to be extra festive. If you brought presents, you can dump them there, too! And maybe take one of those dumbass party horns that one of our "normal person" advisors told us we needed.

Hell yeah there's food.

What is a birthday party without food! And hey, there's very little that actually needs utensils here. Someone suggested cheeseburgers, so there's a little station to put together your own: pick your own toppings! There's a few scattered sets of tongs, but if you don't find one, just reach in and pluck that tomato slice with your bare-ass hands. We're all friends here.

Not your cup of tea? Vegetarian?? Don't worry there's some roast vegetable kabobs going on nearby on a tray.

There's an assortment of other grab-and-go foods-- slices of scallion pancakes laid out, sliced fruits with berries. Tiny little... Quiche looking things?? Beef satay? Cheesey puffs, chips, popcorn with way too much butter?? Sure, go for it.

Oh, and some hardshell tacos . Clearly someone had the goal of 'messiest food possible'.

One of the people throwing this party is a bartender

Underage drinking ahoy! yeah, there's some booze. The most prominent beverage is a cheap looking canned beer: filler lite which professes to be the Champagne of it's kind. There was a limited budget okay?? The Casino thing is still a work in progress. But surely you can find some sake or some cooking wine (don't drink that I am begging you) or convince Kotone to mix something up for you. Other than that, we're in clubhouse and cooking club resides here, so you're easily able to find a kettle and a coffee machine or just drink water and stay hydrated.

is there cake???

Hell yeah there is. Please take some. Maybe there's ice cream in the freezer, too.

Cool but what is there to do?

That's a good question!! Obviously the fancy lady needs something extremely silly and messy to let loose and have fun with so there is a piñata dangling ominously from the ceiling, a wooden stick leaned against the wall nearby

....along with a backup pinata because look we anticipate super powered kids here. Everyone needs to take a swing.

There's a couple random activities laid out by people who clearly don't know how to throw a party (assisted by Kotone and Scott, who are trying their best to show them how.) A deck of cards? Sure. Dartboard? Great, don't stab anyone. They even borrowed the SNES and TV from Mikey's place because he's off having his villain arc. (And by 'borrowed' I might mean stole, but you know Shinji's gonna put it back after.) play some Road Brawler 2 Super or some Super Giacomo World.

Akihiko might start a party jog and/or some kind of workout competition and that's gonna be a fucking disaster if people are going hard on the cheap beer but you know, I'm not your boss. Live your life however you want.

I'm in, how do I approach this!

It's an open mingle, fam. Do what you want. Make assumptions, cause trouble, set something on fire with candles. Just don't wreck the place any more than Scott did when he destroyed it.

Wait what does the clubhouse look like???



I am giving you all the information I have here promise

[ She can tell this is a video game they're talking about by the fact somebody is manipulating a controller, thanks to Scott's explanation and subsequent demo at the arcade. The 'woosh' sound effect doesn't tell her much, but Toph smiles to hear Kakashi sound so excited. She settles in to egg him on like a good friend would. ]

Oh yeah? What's happening now? Keep going, I can't see anything.

[battlefieldbrat]

He's gotta jump across an abyss, and - wow! his jump is pathetic compared to a real ninja.

[trust kakashi to keep his expectations real.]

But he can throw shuriken and everything! And he slashes with his sword, too!

[fieldtrip]

[ Toph isn't surprised to hear Kakashi express that a real ninja should be able to leap around like an airbender, after the way he'd followed her from the woods to the edge of town hopping at high speed. But his honest criticism amid the excitement makes her smile even wider. ]

This your first time seeing a video game? Scott showed me them last week.

[battlefieldbrat]

Is that what it's called? Video game.

[he says it with what is almost a tone of wonder.]

I don't understand how they can control it with the little box.

[fieldtrip]

Don't look at me, that's just how it works.

[ Toph has a basic interest in mechanics, but it's more on the structural side for obvious reasons than electrical. That's firebending stuff; she can't feel it at all. As a result, she hasn't asked too many questions about computer-based technologies. Car engines, on the other hand, would be interesting... ]

There's a place in town called an arcade where you can pay to play them as much as you want. I can show you later.

[battlefieldbrat]

Hn, something Toph doesn't know? Are you sure?

[he jests, of course. the mention of an arcade perks his interest, though.]

Really? Do you think they have the ninja game?

[fieldtrip]

I'm pretty great, but I'm not a nerd, [ she answers readily, also in good humor. Toph loves nerds, and she also loves to tease them. ]

We could find out. They probably have something like it even if it's not this one.

[battlefieldbrat]

No, I don't think I'd ever mistake you for a nerd.

[she's way too cool for that. nerds are lame. (not that kakashi totally is one or anything) ]

That would be...fun. Yeah, we should check it out sometime.

[that small hesitation stems from him not really ever doing fun stuff unless someone (read: minato-sensei) drags him to it. but here he's not exactly covered up in missions, so what's the harm?...]

[fieldtrip]

[ She knows Kakashi well enough by now to at least expect that glimmer of hesitation, even if she doesn't understand it. Toph doesn't know what causes it, but she's definitely become aware that getting Kakashi to actually act like a kid once in a while is a difficult prospect. ]

Finally, [ she drawls, ] I found something you'll do just for fun!

[ Speaking of teasing nerds... ]

[battlefieldbrat]

Tch - that's not true! Training is fun!

[oh, kakashi.]

And I do that all the time.

[fieldtrip]

Yeah, training is fun, but it's not just for fun.

[ Toph's the last person to say someone should be training less, she just thinks they should be doing things in addition to it. ]

You can't just train your whole life.

[battlefieldbrat]

True, sometimes you have to put your training to the test, too.

[that's probably not what she meant but - ]

[fieldtrip]

You better be pulling my leg, because if you're serious, I'm gonna need to stage an intervention.

[battlefieldbrat]

Let's not do that.

[he says, very quickly. probably this has been attempted on him before with hilarious but ineffective consequences.]

You know I do stuff besides train. It was, uh, a joke.

[nice save.]

[fieldtrip]

[ He's so transparent. That just means Toph isn't going to push it so it can be a surprise and they can catch him off-guard. ]

Sure, okay. How's your dog adoptions going?

[ Maybe that does count as fun for him, in fairness. ]

[battlefieldbrat]

A few have gone to good homes. Not as many as I'd hoped.

[he had expected to run out. who doesn't want a dog???]

I don't mind taking care of them, though. It's a good training opportunity.

[a beat.]

I mean, it's, fun. Lots of fun.

[fieldtrip]

That's the spirit. You know 'fun' is just something you enjoy doing, right?

[ At this rate, she's seriously going to have to open a school for dummies who missed obvious social lessons growing up... ]

[battlefieldbrat]

If that's the case, then why doesn't training count?

[this is something he's always wondered, honestly. probably because he had training instead of playtime growing up so he just assumes that's what you do when you don't have anything better to do.]
