[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.

Nope. It's pure magic. It's just that... magic follows rules just as much as science does. You even have to choose something to really specialize in, or else there's just too much to learn. I'm pretty sure Adaine gets more homework in Wizard class than the rest of us do combined, some weeks.

[ Not helped by the fact that Riz's teacher is effectively non-existent, and most of the others are in classes largely dedicated to learning how to hit things good, but still. It's a lot of work, and a lot of theory. ]

Speaking of which... are you here for her, or for Fabian? Or are you friends with them both?

[redheadcarrier]

Sounds like science to me, just... more wobbly.

[ Well, it's not from her world, so she's not gonna quibble. She snorts and folds her arms, her expression getting a bit puzzled - and then a touch flustered. ]

...uh. I met both of them in the maze. Pretty sure Adaine invited me, though.

[stresstokens]

Wait, you met all of us in the maze? What're the chances? Bet you our meeting was your favourite, though.

[ He grins at her, clearly joking. He knows their run-in was probably her least favourite, on account of how deeply disgusted she was by having to chow down on monsters with him. ]

That's cool, though. Adaine's great. So's Fabian, actually -- if you're out here making friends, you couldn't find better. [ He is, admittedly, biased. ] Did you get them anything?

[redheadcarrier]

I dunno how much "eating monster meat" was my favorite...

[ Hmmph. She shakes her head, but there's some amusement there, despite herself. ]

...uh.

[ Oops? ]

I didn't get a chance to get anything. [ Technically true. ]
