Cress went to the Dockyard earlier that day to start cleaning. It was always a process, but it was at least tolerable enough to host a party for Micah as she'd done the year before. The invitation was shared with the other members of staff and they were instructed to show up before Micah arrived. He already knew there was going to be a party but it would be a welcome sight for him to walk into the bar to see his fellow staff wishing him a very "happy birthday." Pretty much everyone was there, save for those that couldn't attend and those notorious for being late, when Cressida went to go bring Micah. When he stepped into the Dockyard, it was closed off to the usuals. Set apart for the private party, the bartender was already serving drinks and there was plenty of food around. Some of it food from the Dockyard itself, but only because it was the only way they'd let Cressida bring her own food in. The cake wouldn't be brought out till later, but there was plenty to eat. There were drink vouchers for attendees, so anything more than two drinks would be on their own dime. There were a few decorations, but it was kept relatively simple. The table with the gifts sat near the cake and while not everyone brought a gift, a majority of people did. Micah and Cress arrived and when they walked in, everyone greeted Micah with a boisterous "Happy birthday!" Cressida placed a hat on Micah's head with the instructions that he had to wear it at least long enough for a few pictures. The party then commenced and it was a nice night of festivities and fun. Some people played games that involved drinking, others played darts, and there was singing and some karaoke. Whether Micah opened the gifts at the party or later would be up to him, but the most structure for the night came when the cake came out. They all sang together for him, some purposely off-key, and the candles, trick ones (of course), a top a three-tiered structured. The cake itself sat on the top two tiers, but the bottom was loaded with cupcakes in a variety of flavors. The party continued well into the night. Some people stayed the whole time, but others for only a bit. |
