[open/mingle] burn my bread
Who: Kotone Shiomi, Cooking Club, and you!
Where: Club Building, June 12th
What: Potluck for Kotone's not-so-secret birthday party
Warnings: please be good (tell me if warnings need to be added)
Kotone hadn't wanted to make a big deal out of her birthday. Like, sure, it's always a celebration to make it another year around the sun, probably, especially when she never expected to see 18, let alone 19, but being the center of attention isn't really her thing. If her friends can be happy and have fun, that's way more important! It had already seemed kind of silly and selfish just to ask members of Cooking Club and anyone else with interest to bring something for a potluck.
Then, of course, her boyfriend spilled the beans, and now it's a party! While her original club building had looked more like a Japanese-style school building, it's since been re-imagined by Toph into a somewhat more organic shape. Kotone still considers it hers, though, so try not to trash it too badly!

Scott had decided the decor theme should be "pink" and "cute," whatever that means. Someone more artistically-minded can hopefully interpret that into something coherent for the club building's gym (sorry if you'd planned to play sports today); there's balloons, streamers, and if someone wanted to raid Kotone's Sewing Club, plenty of fabric to be used for... something?
Beyond that, considering the intended purpose was a potluck, the fridge and pantry is fully stocked with ingredients. Cooking Club is very loosely organized, and while Kotone does try to provide a decent amount of staple ingredients herself, it is very much expected that members of Cooking Club bring their own other ingredients to cook with. She might work a few part-time jobs, but not enough to feed the whole town herself!
Try not to set the kitchen on fire.
Somehow, by the late afternoon, decorations were set up and food was prepared. You brought something, right? If you can't make your own, store-bought is fine. There are quite a few folding tables and chairs set out to make it easy to grab a seat and sit with someone to enjoy your food, plus drinks of all kinds, alcoholic and non. It's a party, after all! Kotone's MP3 player plugged into a stereo is playing a mix of electronica and J-Pop from the mid-to-late 2000s, but anyone is welcome to take the metaphorical aux cord and switch it up.
There are always games! It's designed like a school gym, so there's more than a few different supplies for sports. Volleyball or basketball, anyone? Anyone bring a board game? There's always the classics like Truth or Dare or Never Have I Ever, but play at your own risk!
Are you really going to make the birthday girl be responsible for cleaning up after her own party? Surely someone else will help out with sweeping up the confetti, making sure all the food is either in the fridge or taken home by someone, and otherwise getting the building back in order for normal operations. Are you a goody-two-shoes who can't leave well enough alone? This one's for you.[ooc: please treat this as a mingle! no invitation was needed and no one will be checking at the door -- Kotone just wants to have fun with her friends! the prompts here are just suggestions, please feel free to cause as much chaos as you'd like]
