Oi.

Hey everyone.

It's summer solstice time. Sunset'll be in six hours or so, and everything's all set up at th'bonfire.

Couldn't find any fireworks, but hey, we've got plenty of marshmallows.

[Zeke and Raven set up a bunch of towels and places to sit around the bonfire. And a table with marshmallows and all kinds of other things that can be cooked on a stick. There are also small buckets filled with water sitting around. Which Zeke may or may not be dumping on people. (Characters are free to retaliate. This is summer, after all.)

Oh, and Rapunzel has a nice big cake with her name on it in the middle. With candles and everything.

PARTY TIME.]

((OOC: Tag Zeke and amongst yourselves. 8'D))

[Of course she had come -- not only to mingle with her friends, but also...

Well. It was her nineteenth birthday, and that was special, wasn't it? She liked to think so. Again, this year, there are no lanterns but that's all right. She's got lots of friends and new family to make up for her lost dream.]

[The Once-ler shows up late, because he's always fashionably late. Or, rather, he was up in the clothier's tower when he saw Zeke's post, panicked, ran across the keep to his room, grabbed his gift, almost tripped down the stairs, had to stop and catch his breath (for, like, five minutes), then proceeded to the party at a leisurely pace. Leave it to him to make something like going to a party a huge dramatic thing.

Anyway, Rapunzel is a little more difficult to find than he anticipated, what with her height and all. But there she is, and the Once-ler weaves his way through the crowd towards her, present held carefully behind his back. Don't want to break it!]

Rapunzel, hey, hi! [Biiig smile!] Happy birthday!

[He gets a bit of a look, because she's still a tiny bit annoyed with him, but her smile overrides the general irritation.]

Hi, Once-ler. I'm really glad to see you were able to come!

[Hey Keep.

This is Zeke. With a bucket of water at the ready. He is skulking out unsuspecting party goers to dump water on them.

Beware and BE VERY AFRAID.]

Yeah, I figured it was time for a break. [It's not like he's been working non-stop or anything.] You know, relax by the bonfire, stuff my face with marshmallows. Good stuff.

[Alright. Okay. Present time. For one brief moment he considers chucking it in the bonfire and turning invisible, but that's silly! The invisible part, I mean. After a deep breath, he holds up his gift. It's a bouquet of flowers - origami roses, actually! Arts and crafts are Oncie's Thing, and origami is no exception. Look, it's the most original thing he could come up with, alright? The dress is nowhere near done.]

I made you these. For your birthday.

[Sandrath was on his way to the bonfire party after reading Zeke's invitation. The fallen arch-angel looked like he usually did aside from trail of unreadable letters drifting up from underneath his shirt, around his neck and cupping his chin. Someone had been avoiding writing in his journal.

A part of him was expecting to be hugged by the chef if the other found him right away.]

[No hugs this time, San.

When Zeke spots him, he quickly slinks on over from behind and tosses the water at the back of San's head.

VICTIM #1]

[Sandrath was sort of aware that Rapunzel had a birthday but the only issue is that he was unable to come up with any sort of present. He didn't mind her really, aside from the few moments of over excitement or cheerfulness.

He glanced around for the birthday girl.]

[The splash of water did catch him off guard. There was a slight sputtering as he turned to face Zeke with a dubious smirk. Oh, the chef would pay for that.]

Well, hello to you too.

[He moved quickly to chase after Zeke, intending to get the other wet as well by hugging him.]

[After several antics, Sandrath was seated by the bonfire. He looked like his usual self, but there was a unreadable tattoo that had curled around his neck and cupped his chin. Those who were familiar with not writing in their journals would be aware that he hadn't written in his for a while.

He wouldn't mind the company, he won't bite... much.]

[WELP guess it's time to run. Which Zeke promptly does, as fast as he can with his limp. And it's more of a quick sprint, anyway, because he's out of breath pretty quickly.

Not that he actually thought he could outrun San.]

[Hmph. Yeah, since you've banned her from going up there and in so many words told her all she would do is get in the way and made her feel little more like a pest.]

You--

[Her eyes widen, and she forgets about his infraction as she hesitantly reaches for them.]

You made these? For me?

[There you are, Rapunzel. Kloe has been looking for you. She approaches with a kind of awkward half-smile, holding out a jar filled with little golden squares.]

...Here. This is for you.

[She licks her lips. This birthday thing is so weird.]

Happy birthday and everything. Or whatever people say.

San!

[She nudges through the crows to come up to him, giving him a smile and a big hug.]

How are you?

[Most likely not, but San was going at a more casual pace opposed to Zeke before noticing the other had ran out of breath. He chose to strike from behind and wrapped his arms around the other.]

Got you.

[She beams up at Kloe, broad smile on her face.]

Oh what...what is this?

It's honey candy. I made it.

[Yyyyeup.]

It's good.

Oi, I give, leggo.

[He was hoping to last longer without getting wet. Damn it.]

[Oh no. Her face. Is that a good look or a bad look?]

Yes. For you. Made them. ... I mean, I made them for you. Because, you know, it's your birthday! And birthdays warrant gifts, lots of gifts. But I don't have lots of gifts, and I'm really sorry. They're not a diamond necklace or a pet elephant or anything, but, well, I tried.

[So Kloe might possibly be stealing all the marshmallows. She never gets to eat them, and now that there's a table filled with them, she plans to squirrel as many away into her bag as possible. And then leave, because she only came here to give Rapunzel her gift.

Unless someone comes around to distract her. Or tell her off for hogging the sweets.]

"No, no -- don't apologize." She shakes her head and carefully clutches them in her hands, eyes so wide.] I love them. They're...they're perfect...

[That and no one has ever really done anything like this before for her. It's...mind-boggling, that he has.]

Thank you.

[He gets a hug. A warm, lingering, and tight hug -- with one arm, because she doesnt' want to smoosh her flowers.]

[She's carefully taking the top off.]

Honey candy? I've never had that before.

[She's tasting a piece, though. Her eyes widen a little.]

It is really good! [Kloe made this?]

[It's a party that Raven helped decorate. Of course she's going to be there, duh.

She's over near the fire, roasting a marshmallow on a stick, just begging to be bothered.]

There weren't a lot of sweets back home, so I would go to the Agricultural District and snag a couple jars of honey. It's not that hard to make.

[Shrug.]

I didn't know what else to give you.

[He rose his arms up briefly when she came over to hug him.]

Hello to you too.

[There was a thought of lifting her up and doing a quick spin with her, but it passed soon enough. He was surprised she didn't comment about the moving tattoo that had curled its way around him.]

Fine, for the most part. Were you waiting for me?
