[Semi-Open] Oh, would you look at that. It's Joshua Day.

Who: FF16s and anyone who has positive CR with Joshua is invited (friends of friends can also drop by!)
Which: Semi-Open Log
Where: Starflower Cafe!
When: Backdated to March 25th
What: Once upon a time, some people looked at a baby and said, "You are Joshua." Today, we celebrate the 29th anniversary of that occasion.
Warnings: None!

It's early evening, and the golden hour sun shines gently through the windows of the Starflower Cafe. There's a modest array of red, white, and black decorations strung from the roof and set upon the tables to catch the flickering flames of lantern centrepieces, but the overall ambience is simple and warm, reminiscent of Rosarian hospitality.

Clive and Jill extended invitations earlier in the week, emphasising that the celebration is a surprise for Joshua. Guests are encouraged to arrive early, whereupon Jill will guide them not into hiding, per se, but at least to places where they can't be spotted through the windows. Meanwhile, Clive will be escorting Joshua to the party under the pretence of treating him to a name day dinner.

As such, guests are also encouraged to surprise some JOY into Mister Phoenix Boy when the brothers arrive.

Once the excitement of the surprise subsides, all guests will receive a softly glowing phoenix feather imbued with healing dreamotion. Joshua is handing them out personally as tokens of gratitude, so come and get yours!

Early mingling will happen over the appetizer buffet, which features potato croquettes, charcuterie boards with a heavy emphasis on cheese, various veggie platters with dips, and small cups of ice cream. Or, guests can sit down and chat over dinner: a roast with all the fixings.

After dinner, everyone will be escorted outside to where a bonfire has been set up. There, guests can enjoy roasting marshmallows, s'mores, and other sweet treats over the fire while watching a fireworks show to end the night.

TL;DR it's a party. So, like, party y'all.

(Clive and Jill will be around, but they'll be busy ensuring everything goes off without a hitch, so they won't be interacting much. Please feel free to assume that introductions have happened & that everyone present has been invited to their wedding, where they will be much more present!)

Pretty benevolent of him, seeing as how he didn't have a say in being there. He could've just as easily flipped everybody off and done whatever he wanted with his life.

[He gives Ryu a once-over, humming to himself.]

Well, considering you're blue haired, maybe he's red? Red oni, blue oni. And your specialty is fire, so perhaps he's more of an ice dragon sort? Though, man. Since he lived a while ago, I hope he's not some ugly old man. That'd suck to have your twin be three or four times your age, wouldn't it?

I don't think that Endless can really refuse what they're summoned for. But I was an accident, not really summoned.

... I don't know what an oni is, but maybe? I know the other Endless have weird forms when they're not in their large forms, so I have no idea what he might look like...

Seriously? Damn, that... sucks. At least us gods have the ability to choose. I'm glad you have your freedom, though. Being beholden to humanity that rigidly is too extreme.

Ah, an oni is an ogre, but it's just a saying, really. You seem pretty normal to me, but I guess that might be because you weren't summoned quite like the others, huh? Either way, I hope if - when - you get to meet him, all goes well for you. I'd hate to lose you as a friend.

It... is. Probably. I'd like to think that people are good, but I know that not everyone is.

[He still looks confused, but... sure.]

I... hope so too. I just want him to be able to be happy, too. We all deserve to be free.
