The 33rd Song [Action]

[tangledintower]

[Rapunzel has set up everything for her big first ever birthday party in Xanadu. There's lots of food, lots of desserts, and little gift bags everywhere. There's games, and music, and all those other things you need for a good party.

She's clearly excited about all of this, as a few people have already arrived, and she's chatting with them, excited and eager, if a bit tired. She did set all of this up herself, not to mention all of the food and goody bags and everything...it has to be a perfect first ever birthday party.

So! Come on in and have fun, because that's all that Rapunzel wants.]

[ooc: Open action post for Rapunzel's 19th birthday. No presents required, just people having a good time.]

Hi there!

[Dulcie shows up pretty early. She's got her party dress on (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=30823389), and a bottle of champagne gripped in one hand.]

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Dulcie, you look so pretty!! I'm glad you could make it!

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Thanks! This all looks amazing.

[She holds up her bottle.]

Were does booze live?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Uh...I set up a cooler over there.

[Neil arrives with a giftbox wrapped in bright paper tucked under one arm, smiling but looking somewhat hesitant and awkward, like he's not quite sure what to do.

He'll mostly stand off to the side and play wallflower for now.]

[Rapunzel will not let him do that, though, so she goes over to bug him!]

Hi, Neil!

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Heeeeey. [Neil smiles and holds out the thin, rectangular package.] Happy birthday, and stuff.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh, you didn't have to get me anything...thank you, though, Neil! That's really nice of you.

Demyx was invited to Rapunzel's party, so he decided to come. He had no real objections to parties, and besides, he liked Rapunzel! She was nice, and liked music and water. She was really friendly, too. So when he sees her, he greets her by way of grinning.

"Hey!"

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Demyx! You made it!

How're you doing?

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah, I did.

I'm doing pretty well, I guess. So, this is for your birthday?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Yeah...well, I'd never really had a birthday party before. I wanted to make it so everybody who shows up have a good time.

[ With such preparations going into her party, it was easy to spot in Xanadu (as well as hear). He had a small gift in his hand, something simple, Sheena had thought, but hopefully good enough for a girl he had never met in person before. What chance would he get to go to a birthday party under those circumstances in home?

Stopping and looking through the people, he toyed with the idea of waiting a while, see if a certain head had popped up to the party that he knew, but nah, why bother? And so, with gift still in hand, he looked through the people for the birthday girl. Spotting her, with a friendly help of another guest who knew her better than him, he walked over to her and gave her a tap on the shoulder. ] Heey, Rapunzel?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

[She yeeps and jumps up, but relaxes.]

Oh, hi! You made it, it's great to meet you in person!!

[starfollowing.livejournal.com]

[ Cuuute. That has him smiling. ]

Heey, great to meet you too! Looks like you're party's a success. [ He takes a look around when he says this, but then, remembering the gift - ] Oh, hey - [ He holds it out in front of himself. ] Got this for you.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

You think so? I mean, I was worried that it was too much, or not enough, but people seem to be having fun, which is important!

Oh, wow, thank you! You didn't have to get me anything though...

[ Tyr was invited to the party by Sheena, but the atmosphere of the place in Xanadu was bright enough that Tyr found it enjoyable. He barely knows Rapunzel, just seeing her over the network a few times, but he still brought a small gift for her. ]

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't matter, she's friendly to everybody, as evidenced by her bounding over with a biiig grin.]

Hi! Glad you could make it!

[stargathering]

[ It's a little unexpected, but he appreciates her enthusiasm! ]

I am, too. Are you Rapunzel?

[Flynn stood at the party, a little off to the side. Rapunzel...had a lot of guy friends.]

[under his breath] What's with the sausage fest?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't seem to realize she has a lot of guy friends, okay? Don't blame her. She manages to sneak her way over right next to Eugene.]

You know, the party is more over that way...

[brokemysmolder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but the view is so much better over here.

[As the sun goes down, Flynn looks around for Rapunzel. It's time for him to give her his present.]

after dark;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

[She's still here, and she's still happy.]

Well! I think that went well, don't you, Pascal?

[The chameleon chirps happily.]

Really, I don't know why Mother thinks I can't handle myself, I think I'm doing okay out here...

after dark;

[brokemysmolder.livejournal.com]

There's that glowing head of hair!

[He winds his way over and grins]

So, on a scale from awesome to mind-blowing, how do you rate the party?
