[open] t-t-t-taking over, teenage rebellion!

[furiousfists]

WHO: Adaine Abernant (furiousfists), Fabian Seacaster (maximumlegend), and YOU!
WHEN: June 3rd
WHERE: Apartment building's rec room
WHAT: Joint birthday party!
NOTES\WARNINGS: Underage drinking

It's only thanks to Aurora's message that Adaine has any idea what day it is. She looks at the text on her earpiece's readout and blinks, comprehension coming to her slowly.

Today is June 3rd, of the year 40██.

June 3rd...

June 3rd??

"Holy shit, it's my birthday!"

Adaine's birthdays haven't been much to shake a stick at, historically speaking. It's only in the past year, after she stopped living with her parents and moved in with Jawbone in Mordred Manor that anyone ever gave a crap or tried to give her anything for it. If it hadn't been for Jawbone, she might've been perfectly happy to let another year pass without fanfare. But now? She wants to at least acknowledge it. She'd be happy with just a slice of cake at the diner, but there's one thing that makes her think that perhaps that won't cut it.

If today is June 3rd, Adaine's birthday, then that means a few days ago it was May 31st. Fabian's birthday. And Fabian Seacaster is not one to let a birthday celebration be anything but maximum legend.

And, so it is that the two birthday Bad Kids set about throwing as raucous of a birthday bash as they can manage with such short lead time. The rec room in the bottom floor of the apartment building is decorated to the nines with balloons and streamers, with snacks, sodas, and even some alcohol to make mixed drinks set out on a table for all to enjoy. Anyone who the pair have spoken with is invited, but if anyone makes any comments about teenagers drinking alcohol, they're labeled a buzzkill and told to vacate the premises. Adaine manages to find a boombox somewhere with a CD, and plays some generic party music for people to dance to, should they feel so inclined.

All in all, it is a night of revelry, the likes of which Etraya has likely never seen before.

Comments

(She does her best not to be stuffy! Not towards friendly souls, at least. Those who deserve an icy reception, on the other hand, will get one. Padmé might be petite, but she has a presence.)

I understand being a little confused about dates. (Now that she thinks about it, she has no idea when her birthday might be in this world. Or Anakin's. The latter bothers her more.)

This is a nice chance to make new friends. (If nothing else!) I brought you items that hopefully give you comfort. (i.e. a few blankets and a fluffy pillow.)

The pleasure is mine, Adaine. (She smiles gently.) If you need help or a friend, please feel free to call on me.

[ Adaine looks truly touched by the presentation of such soft gifts. They may have been brought as generic items of comfort, but they're exactly the sort of thing that Adaine loves. ]

Thank you... You didn't have to give me anything. It's enough to know just that people wanted to come celebrate.

[ She's not used to receiving gifts, especially not birthday gifts. Any gifts her parents gave her, either for birthday or Lunar Yulenear, were always an afterthought, something purchased for a person they clearly knew nothing about, or came with a double intent, like the time she graduated from Hudol's lower school and her parents bought her a book on how to improve her etiquette as a reward. ]

(Padmé likes soft things too and she knows they can be a comfort in foreign places. If Adaine is able to locate scents, perfumes, sprays that she likes, the blankets and pillows can be even better.)

Birthdays are important. I like celebrating them. Everyone should be noticed and appreciated once a year.

(If she knew any of that, her heart would break for Adaine. She deserves better. Much, much better.)

[furiousfists]

[ Adaine won't go into her tragic past. It's a bit too much of a downer topic of conversation for a party like this. ]

Thank you, truly. These are going to be a big help.

[ Slowly but surely, she's been making her new apartment living space her own, but she can't wait to put this blanket and pillow on the bed and curl up in their comfortable softness. ]

[politicallyinclined]

(She presumes just about everyone has had trouble of their own. Some more than others. So. Soft blankets and pillows are a must!)

If I find any of the scents that help me sleep, I will share them with you.
