Jack was there earlyish for Sam helping set up. He was a little off his usual beat but still seemed to be in a decent mood. As long as he was with someone he felt fine, and honestly he didn't want to dwell on death, or the reserve he was feeling over the current good vs. evil epic struggle. It was a party and damnit they needed one after everything that had been going on the past year it was time to celebrate and let Faith have her day.
If not for Syd showing him what a Birthday was the year before last he wouldn't have understood what all the fuss was about but now he got it. It was a fun time to make people feel special. So that was what he was going to do, not only did he have presents all set out on the table but he had a cupcake for her too, all personalized and fancy that he was making sure was perfect. Sydney the pink ranger on his team whom he shared his birthday with, got him hooked on birthday cupcakes so every year for his friends that's what he focused mostly on doing. (Between leveling up in Castlevania of coarse.) It was all kinds of chocolate and decorated in Faith's favorite colors. He was getting to be pretty good at cupcake decorating. But was glad Syd wasn't there to watch and mock at him being all sappy about it.
Everything seemed to be going good so far, the place was nicely set up compare to what it usually was. Jack watched Faith make her rounds in amusement. She really seemed surprised, and he was pleased. That was exactly what the point was.
