STATUS OPEN | Party Post

With the weather turning a bit cooler, the birthday party took place at the Old Market on Main. There was quite a lot of various comfortable seating strewn about, with lots of games and activities for everyone to partake in. There were various tables set up filled to the brim with all sorts of foods, including some home favorites from all the birthday guests.

Off to one side of the room, there was a pumpkin carving and decorating station, where older kids and adults could carve pumpkins of various sizes with all sorts of stencils and tools. The younger ones - or anyone else, really - could choose to paint or otherwise decorate smaller sized pumpkins with googly eyes, glitter, markers, felt, stickers, and assorted other craft choices.

Ruby was super excited for her birthday later in the month. For one, it put her at the age of eighteen and technically, she didn't need a guardian anymore (though she was not about to leave Uncle Qrow just yet), but most important, the day was filled with sweets galore! Also, a potential costume party (Ruby wasn't sure yet) and trick or treating with Weiss, and then birthday cake! Oh, Ruby loved cake, especially birthday cake. However, sadly, all those things did not come till the last day of the month and Ruby was impatient for all of it. Thankfully, there was a town birthday celebration that she could justify attending now!

Ruby, using a touch of speed, arrived at the Old Market on Main just as the party was about to kick off. Grinning brightly, Ruby brushed aside some stray rose petals and headed for the take with all the food. Well, all the tables with all the food and she immediately grabbed a plate, loading it up with as many sweets as she could fit and making sure to leave room for a giant size of that delicious looking birthday cake. Yum! Humming to herself happily, she found a seat and was about to dig in when she noticed the craft table and the kids putting glitter and fun things on the pumpkins. Way cool!

Heading over she grabbed a few supplies and a pumpkin before rushing to her table again and settling in, biting into a frosted cookie as she took to gluing on a googly eye on her pumpkin. "This is great!"

"The cookie or your pumpkin?"

Elsa had been meaning to take a moment to introduce herself to Qrow's niece in a more formal manner. Speaking briefly in passing or through the network certainly wasn't enough. She was important to Qrow, which meant that Elsa was going to do whatever necessary to be friends with her.

She smiled down at Ruby, having broken away from a small group conversation to chat with her. Taking a seat on the other side of the table, Elsa picked up an extra googly eye.

"I thought about decorating one for your uncle. Do you think he'd like that?"

Ruby almost dropped her cookie at Elsa's question. "Oops!" Thankfully, Ruby's speed helped her keep a solid hold on that cookie and she was even able to simultaneously smile up at Elsa. She hadn't spoken much to Qrow's girlfriend, but this was the perfect opportunity to fix that and Ruby was glad Elsa had come over to speak to her.

Elsa took a seat on the other side of the table and Ruby grinned when she watched the woman pick up a googly eye. "You totally should! He'd love that I bet," Ruby replied, encouragingly.

Caitlin Snow & Open

It was not Caitlin's birthday, but having some extra time on a Sunday gave her the opportunity to at least attend the celebration, enjoy some cake, and maybe offer a "Happy Birthday" to those whose birthdays it was. Plus, as always, Caitlin was thinking that she needed to get out more and do things in Madison Valley while she had the chance. She could get sent home at any time and while she was scared of Killer Frost, she did not want to lock herself away from the rest of the world.

So, she made herself a plate and wandered over to an empty seat, settling down, and picking at one of the cookies on her plate. She couldn't help, but watch the kids decorating their pumpkins and the older kids and adults carving them. She remembered doing things like that with her father; her mother was never around. If it wasn't for her father, Caitlin would not have had much of a childhood at all. She took another nibble and smiled sadly to herself. She knew Cisco would be over their trying to carve a pumpkin or putting googly eyes on one at least. Maybe Barry would be too. It made her happy to picture, but also sad too.

Caitlin Snow & Dream

Dream was still not very social but he was going out a bit more. Mostly he just walked around town but he didn't really speak to anyone unless they approached him first. Some people did. He did wear long black robes after all and it wasn't a fashion choice most people made. It kind of made him stand out.

This time, though, he was feeling a tiny bit social. Not much but enough to have a little chat at least. He'd decided to go by the birthday festivities. He didn't have a birthday himself, but it was open invitation, so it didn't matter.

He walked around, noticing the brunette woman nearby. "You seem a bit sad," he commented.

Caitlin wasn't sure if anyone would stop by her table. The party was filling up, but there was also ample seating so she wasn't sure she would end up having to share a space with anyone this time around. Not that she minded being alone. Sometimes it was better than having to share a seat with certain types of people. However, that didn't happen to be the case because as soon as she considered it, a man paused beside her table, dressed in all black, and commented about her being sad.

Well, Caitlin could hardly dispute that, could she? She was feeling a bit melancholy at best. Yet, she attempted a smile for the man in black all the same even if it was paper thin. "I suppose I am in a way. It's hard not to be a be nostalgic at the sight of the kids decorating pumpkins," she replied, shrugging. "Or maybe it's just me being all depressed."

Clary & Open

2019-10-05 06:57 pm UTC (link)

Clary's birthday was not this month, but she did enjoy going to the town parties though. There was always a chance of meeting new people and Clary, while use to being more anti-social outside of Simon, found that she had changed quite a bit. She enjoyed talking with new people now and a lot of that was because of Jace and his family. The experience that had brought them together had not always been pleasant, but they had taught her a lot...including showing her who she really was.

For the moment, she was settled at the table, plate beside her, and carving one of the offered pumpkins. She figured she would bring it home and surprise Jace with it. She was not the best with carving pumpkins, but she found the expression she'd started to create amusing and she hoped Jace would too after she was finished. Pausing, she took a bite from her cake. And the cake was a great bonus too.

She wasn't entirely sure why she's come. Get birthday was at the very end of the month. Which was fine in her opinion. She rather liked the holiday of Halloween, at least here. She might be as old as Tippins, and would have really grow old, but she has a birthday.

These parties were interesting for that.

She brought a pumpkin over to a table, looking around, "mind if I sit here?" Get knee length green hair was tied up as much as she could manage, butt she still stuck out a bit.

There had been a time when Clary was not social in the least. A time when she got lost in her head way too easily too. When her world was simply made of art and all the ways in which a scene or moment could be made a picture or sketch. While she was still very much like that, she was also more open and anchored to what was happening around her. A lot of it had to do with Jace and his family, but also the experiences she had. All of it had changed her and made her realize how precious it could be to live in the actual moment instead of merely floating above it all.

When the woman came by, pumpkin in hand and asked if she could sit, Clary looked up and nodded immediately. Jace and the others had taught her to be more open and confident in who she was. It helped her to be more social. "Sure. Please do. The color of your hair is wonderful by the way," Clary added the last part with a smile. It was her artist's eye catching something that could make for part of a wonderful piece of art.

Nancy Gama & Open (multiples okay)

2019-10-05 08:36 pm UTC (link)

Nancy was normally one to jump on any of these parties, but part of her thought about skipping it. The whole birthday thing was a fun idea only it wasn’t one she ever celebrated unless Keta or Elvis had found her on the day. Though it wasn’t her birthday yet, it was close enough. Then again by doing this maybe she could forget about her birthday like she usually did. None of that was the reason for her debating about skipping it the voices in her head were getting so much louder these days. The longer she went without allowing a demon into her body was starting to take a toll on her. The voices, the feeling of something wanting to get out, and it was starting to bring her mood down in a very big way.

Showing up at the party, her eyes scanned the food before they lit up just a bit at the sight of the chilaquiles. It felt like forever since she had them and while she doubted this place could make them as well as Elvis, she was not walking away from them without a plate full at least. Ignoring the voices, she grabbed a plate and filled it up with as many chilaquiles as it could hold before walking off to find a seat to sit in and eat her food. Using some silverware she picked up some of the chilaquiles, taking a bit and while it wasn’t as good as the ones normally made for her, they did come quite close in comparison but no one could ever go up against Elvis with his cooking.

Chewing on her food, Nancy couldn’t help but look over at the younger kids who were having a good time decorating some of the smaller pumpkin along with themselves from the way it was looking.

Where free food and potentially alcoholic drinks were, Mazikeen Smith was sure to be. Well, unless she was stuck at work, but it was Sunday and she was currently off work and starving for some rather tasty birthday food. Free birthday food. Mazikeen could practically taste that birthday cake and whiskey to drink it down with. Mm. It was going to be delightful and delicious and just yummy. Mazikeen was actually in a good mood as she entered the party, even managing to smile at a few kids that were not Trixie instead of giving a leer.

Walking up the table, she grabbed a plate before anyone else could take one and started to pick stuff off the table. Everything looked good, but one thing in particular caught her eye. The young woman piling chilaquiles on her plate like there was seriously no tomorrow...or would never be another chilaquiles. It was interesting, but not as interesting as what Mazikeen was feeling from the young woman. It was strange, a similar sense to what she had gotten off Crowley, but not so much? Were there really so many demony people here?

Making sure she had a ton off food and good, stiff drink to follow it all up with, Mazikeen made her way over to where the woman had taken a seat. She watched her take a bite from one of her chilaquiles before looking over at the children decorating pumpkins. "Mind if I sit? I promise I won't steal one of your chilaquiles."

Nancy could tell the woman talking to her was a demon before Nancy even turned her attention in the direction of the voice. It was hard not to when Nancy could smell demons and considering the smell was strong, it meant the demon was right near her. This was really not what she needed to be dealing with right now; however, she was also never the type to turn people away even when her body was screaming. Considering how often it happened to her, Nancy wasn’t about to do it to someone else.

Shaking her head, she waved her hand to let motion for the woman to sit as she swallowed what was in her mouth. Remembering to keep her mouth shut while it had food in it like Keta was always arguing with her about. “Go ahead. The places around here don’t do them quite right, these taste close enough to the ones my friend back homes make,” while her accent was shining through, she was getting better with her English. It was one thing Nancy was quite proud of herself on since she was doing better, especially with the help she got from people, but it was still sometimes a work in process. Always keeping her tablet near in case a word caught her off guard or she didn’t know a word. “If you really want some?” She offered, knowing she could always grab more if she wanted, but it was the right thing to do.

Johnny usually gave the birthday parties a pass unless he had a reason to go, they got pretty boring always being the same sort of stuff and not even with dancing a lot of the time, but he couldn't pass on the one thrown in honour of his best friend. And some other people he didn't care about. Chris was totally the important one.

Sans toddler, thankfully, he made the rounds checking out the party and wound up dropping into an empty seat beside a woman with a great big plate of food. Why not? She probably didn't bite.

Somewhere along the way he'd acquired one of the pumpkins for little kids with a pair of googly eyes attached to it and he just slid it across the table as he sat down. "Congratulations; you win the prize."

2019-10-08 07:37 am UTC (link)

Nancy hadn’t been completely paying attention, but she did feel the presence of someone sitting beside her. The fact this person didn’t smell of demon made him more than welcomed to stay. Right now the last thing she needed to deal with were demons on the outside along with the ones within her. It wasn’t anything against them considering she was one to welcome anyone, but her mood had her really not in a demon mood. Lucky for her, this guy gave her something else to focus on rather than the voices and the feeling inside of her.

A confused look showed up rather quickly on her face at him sliding a pumpkin across along with the comment. Quickly wiping the confused look off her face, she tilted her head slightly to the side with a wrinkle of her nose. “Can I trade this in for a better prize?” Her tone while thick with her Spanish accent and still adjusting to the English language, she added a hint of teasing. Nancy was only joking, hoping it was noticeable since she was still unsure if the tone showed well enough with her still learning English.

Since she'd gone to a few of the other birthday parties, she figured it would have been weird to skip her own. Cassandra was definitely feeling a lot more comfortable in Madison Valley these days. Her job at Combat Therapy wasn't consistently difficult, but there were certainly moments where her experience with helping Wash through his traumatic brain injury and PTSD came in handy. Madison Valley was full of broken individuals and as a doctor, she felt it her duty to step in and be that resource for them. Plus, it had allowed her to genuinely develop friendships by slowly getting her to lower her guard.

She didn't fully believe that she was better off here, as some did, but Cassandra had finally come to terms with the fact that she was stuck here. It was time to make the most of it, and that included participating in community events like the birthday parties. She was pleased to see her Grandma's lasagna among the table of food and took a big slice for herself. She found a comfy looking armchair in a cluster of empty seats and got herself settled, content to let people come to her if they so chose.

Not only was Qrow's birthday this month, but it was also Ruby's birthday as well. He never thought he'd see her again but he was so glad she was here now. And apparently was chatting with Elsa, which made Qrow even more happy to see them getting along. He wasn't sure what he'd do if they didn't like each other.

While they were chatting, Qrow decided to grab something to eat. He'd made his plate and grabbed a drink before heading over to find a place to sit, finding one near a blonde woman. He didn't recognize her, maybe had seen her on the network once or twice, but that was it. No matter, though. "Hey, cool if I sit here?" he asked, gesturing to one of the empty seats beside her.

She wasn't unaware of someone coming closer to her, but for the first time in a long time, she wasn't actually wary about it. Most people in Madison, while super powered in some way, weren't actually likely to cause someone harm. It was just another sign that she was finally adjusting to the idea that she was relatively safe here. That she didn't need to be on guard 24/7.

"Of course," she replied amicably. "There's plenty of room." And chairs of varying distances away from her so he could choose wherever he felt most comfortable. "Are you here celebrating or just catching the free food?" she asked, figuring if he wanted to sit near to her, maybe he wanted some conversation, too.

Violet Parr & John Wick

2019-10-07 01:24 am UTC (link)

It was hard to believe she was only turning twenty in a little less than two weeks. It wasn't quite as old as she wished she was, especially considering the feelings she'd been doing a terrible job of ignoring. She couldn't help it, especially after speed dating and the fact that she and John had been training together more regularly. It actually kept her fairly busy, between classes, her job, and training. Of course, that didn't mean she didn't make time for her other friends, too. It just meant there was a lot less time to be preoccupied about missing her family or even worrying about what was or wasn't happening with John.

Though she hadn't explicitly invited John to come, she had mentioned that she was going and she was sure he'd have seen that she was one of the birthday guests on the invitation. Luckily, it didn't say when her birthday was or how old she'd be, since that would run the risk of him finding out she was much younger than he might've thought. She was trying not to care too much about that, either. The food was definitely a good distraction, especially seeing her mom's apple crumble. It was always a birthday favorite of her's and she'd been wondering if that would be the one to show up for her.

Once she'd had a nice slice, Violet decided to check out the pumpkin carving. That was something they used to do around her birthday, too. With a soft smile, she settled down to pick a stencil to carve onto one of the medium sized pumpkins.

Violet Parr & John Wick

Holidays tended to come and go as only dates on the calendar in John Wick's life. Birthdays were something other people celebrated. Until he'd married, John couldn't recall ever celebrating anything with any particular interest. Time had passed because that was the way of things. He did nothing to mark the passage of time other than work one assignment after another: an endless cycle of waking, killing, sleeping and then waking again.

John carried his gift box under his arm to make it easier to move through the crowd at the birthday gathering. He'd wrapped the gift himself and taken great pains to ensure it was as pristine as if it'd been prepared by a professional. There was no reason not to ensure Violet got the best he could offer her even if he did wonder if giving her a gift would be considered inappropriate.

Reaching her table, John cleared his throat as he offered the box, "Happy Birthday, Violet. I thought I could get you something to celebrate. And help with training. The training we do together, I mean."

John clamped his mouth shut with a tight-lipped smile as he waited on Violet to open her present. He'd chosen a black karate gi for her in order to help save her every day clothes. The black would hide stains and he knew he appreciated the comfort of a gi while training. He had gauged her size based on sight. John was fairly certain it would be a good fit. He had an eye for those kinds of details---more because he was good at determining how large of a target radius he had when firing at an enemy than because he'd bought a lot of women clothing, but Violet wouldn't need to know that.

Kenny was bored as usual and while he doubted anything interesting would happen at the birthday party, he decided to check it out for a bit. If it was boring, there was free food at least. Delicious food at that, as he never had anything he didn't like at these events.

Since it was Halloween month as well, he wondered if there'd be any Halloween activities. Turns out he was right and he saw people carving and decorating pumpkins. Since he was bored enough, he decided to do that. He grabbed a few snacks on the way and grabbed a pumpkin before getting to work. Of course, he wasn't going to make the normal jack-o-lantern sort of face. Instead, he wrote 'fuck you' with the stencils before carving out the letters.

A party was a party and really, what else did Lydia have to do on a Sunday? She wasn't going to be at work or school, that was for sure, though the two things and some on and off booty calls with a couple of guys she'd met t speed dating were pretty much he only things keeping her from completely losing her mind in a very human way these days. There were things she was trying really hard not to think about and keeping her mind off them mostly worked.

It wasn't exactly the kind of party she loved, but it'd do, and it was nice to actually see a friend there.

She went right over and leaned against the table next to where she found Kenny working. "Very creative." In a tone that said exactly the opposite. "I'm surprised to see you doing this."

Since it was Riley's uncle's birthday this month, Lucas had made it out to the birthday party. It was definitely a bummer that it wasn't warm enough to stay outside all afternoon, but whatever mystical, magical powers that be put on the parties definitely did a great job of making it feel Halloween-y without it being a Halloween party. He was pretty sure Riley's Uncle didn't really care that his birthday was on Halloween, but Lucas knew if it was him? And his birthday overlapped with a holiday? He probably wouldn't like it too much. At least on Halloween, they'd get lots of candy.

He grabbed himself some food, naturally, and made sure his plate was well balanced for once instead of favoring all the sweets. Lucas grabbed a seat, figuring Riley would be along eventually, or maybe another of his friends. He kept looking over at the pumpkin station though, trying to figure out what all was there so he could decide what he wanted to do once he finished eating. He was going to make the best pumpkins ever and give them as gifts.

Celebrating his birthday wasn't really on Shawn's radar though he figured he ought to at least make an appearance at the party since he was one of the honored guests. Growing up, most people forgot his birthday because of the holiday and without Liz or Maya here, he wasn't really expecting to do much for it anyway.

He grabbed a slice of cake and went to look for a seat, a little surprised to see Lucas sitting alone. He and Riley were usually attached at the hip.

"So your dad didn't ground you for the speed dating thing, huh?" Shawn joked as he sat down next to the kid. He wasn't really mad that Lucas signed him up, even though he didn't think he was near ready to think about dating again.

Amaar didn't really feel like he had to attend the party to celebrate Layla's birthday but he definitely did want to. They'd both some friends here and were doing alright but they were still all each other had from home. Not a perfect situation but one they were making work for them. And it was her birthday. That was worth attending a party for.

He found himself drawn to the pumpkins, just looking at them. He couldn't remember the last time he'd carved a pumpkin himself. Halloween wasn't something they celebrated so it had to have been as a child when he'd done it with his friends. Definitely not since. And it was a very good question, whether or not he actually could now. It was still a Halloween sort of activity but it was for a birthday so the line blurred a little.

Probably better to err on the side of caution there.

Ariel was feeling better about things in Madison Valley after she and Frank had gotten a chance to talk, to clear the air and come together again. It had really thrown her off, but now that they were back to a good place, she was much more like her usual, bubbly self. That meant she was absolutely in attendance for the birthday party and she was completely enthralled by the pumpkin decorating and carving.

As soon as she'd caught sight of it, that was exactly where she was headed and she wove in and out of the crowd of people until she was standing right next to a man looking intently at the pumpkin. It didn't seem like there was a line, but maybe there was and she just didn't know the rules. Decorating a pumpkin seemed like such an odd thing to do, but seeing how happy everyone was, she wanted to decorate one and give it to Frank. Maybe that would cheer him up, too.

Ariel looked at the man and then looked at the table, then back to the man. "What are we waiting for?" she asked, genuinely sure that he knew something she didn't.
