[OPEN] A time for celebration!

[theheroics]

Who: Aerith, the cast, and all of her CR!
Which: Open Party Log
Where: The Starflower Sanctuary and Café (with permission by the courteous Tifa)
What: It's Aerith's birthday, so it's time to celebrate!
Warnings: General shenanigans


Despite how bustling The Starflower is on any normal given day, this day in particular seems a little bit more lively.

With general contribution to various vendors and pulling some strings here and there, the cafe has now blossomed into a flower wonderland!



Each guest is greeted with their very own paper flower upon arrival, small enough to be worn as a hair accessory or pinned somewhere on your clothing. (Though some may already be crumbled when received- they were done by hand, after all!) Once equipped, the flower is known to give off a feeling of happiness or light heartedness.

There is also a cake seated at the center of the room, surrounded by all different types of delicacies- both from more heartier meals to a light snack! All are free to mingle, eat, drink, and shower the birthday girl in gifts! However, if you're looking for a little something more to do, look no further than the stations set up on either side of the room for your enjoyment:

Posterboard Doodles 🎨
Sitting against one of the empty tables is a blank canvas in need of your words! Use the brightly colored markers and crayons available to write a heartfelt message, draw, or whatever you like! Leave no space unmarked!

Materia Cornhole (!?)
Is that... actual materia? Don't ask too many questions, just enjoy a friendly competition! (Note: being inebriated has shown to provide better results.)

Party Animals 🐶
You thought you'd come into this café and not get swarmed with animals? The furry friends of this fine establishment have risen to occasion with their festive gear to play alongside all the party goers!

But be warned, just because a party is going on inside, doesn't mean the troubles from the outside can't creep in...! Love is in the air, after all! ❤️

Mmhmm!

[She nods, then looks towards where some of the other resident animals are playing together a ways off.]

They all need 'forever homes,' right? And my place has been feeling a little empty. I've never owned a pet myself before, but I'm good at taking care of things.

[They would be in good hands, if the way she treats her plants— and everyone else's— are any indication.]

[flamekthunder]

[A low hum. He also feels he can trust Aerith on this, so he won't question her too much about her ability to take care of any particular animal. Of course, it would be best to find the right match...]

Usually I let the animals choose who they want to be with, but it would be best if you found one that fit your lifestyle. Do you have any particular preferences?

[inheritedearth]

I was thinking along the same lines as you, actually.

[It's never really the person who picks the pet.]

I'd be happy to open my home to any of them, but I'd want to make sure it was someone who would be happy with me! I guess it should be someone who can handle being home alone while I'm out for work, but I think someone playful might suit me?

[flamekthunder]

[Hmm...]

Does size matter? And I take it you'd prefer one that you could hold and allow to roam freely.

[inheritedearth]

Size never matters!

[You heard it here, folks.]

But cuddle-ability is definitely a plus. I'm pretty fond of our fairy cats. Tifa suggested a kitten, maybe? Cats are pretty independent when they want to be.

[flamekthunder]

Mm, those aren't a bad choice. You just have to make sure you pick the right one because they all have different...abilities. Some have the ability to fly as well, so that's something you should factor in. They'll want high places to perch.

[inheritedearth]

That's a good point. I think personality should definitely come first, but I want to make sure that whatever abilities they might have, I'm in a position to make sure they're comfortable and can use them freely.

[It would be a real shame if she were to take one in and then they wound up feeling stifled because they weren't quite compatible with their new home.]

High places to perch, I can do. My place has pretty high ceilings. They'll like that, don't you think?

[flamekthunder]

[A nod.]

The higher the better, but make sure you can still access it for cleaning or if they get stuck. They can also be outside... But I would recommend that you have some kind of enclosure or be able to keep track of them.

[inheritedearth]

Can do! I'm better at building things than you might think.

[Better, but admittedly, still not great.

Well—]

On second thought, Zack can probably make something. He's pretty good at that kind of thing.

[Everyone should keep a handy SOLDIER around!]

[flamekthunder]

[Yes, make them do all the work. But he just looks a little amused.]

Sounds like you'll be able to adjust no matter what you choose.
