[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!)

[Joshua eventually pulls away from the hug, but he keeps his hands firmly on Yato's shoulders. Still grinning wide, he shakes his head. When he speaks again, the emotion is palpable in his voice. Look carefully, and Yato might see he's a little misty-eyed.]
Further apology was unnecessary--but 'tis appreciated, and I daresay your gift is made all the lovelier for it.
[Oh, wait, with that wish, Joshua needs to take one of his hands back to dab at an eye. He'll turn his head for just a moment to save himself some dignity.]
I suppose I'll have to follow your example and see your wish through.
no subject
[Those hands remaining on him are a very welcome sign of their friendship, and Yato himself claps a hand on Joshua's shoulder to reciprocate. Joshua is as fine a human being as there ever was, and he's glad to be able to celebrate his coming into this world together with him. As someone who never had his birth acknowledged like this, it's a fun event to participate in.]
Heh, never let it be said a god forgets his debts. At least not this one. Besides, knowing you, a bit of extra space for books wouldn't go amiss.
[Thankfully, in a surprise bit of social grace, Yato doesn't call any attention to Joshua's momentary lapse of composure aside from a gentle friendly nudge meant to reassure him.]
Please do. I know there's a lot of people who would be heartbroken otherwise, with me among them.
no subject
[Pulling back, Joshua clears his throat and gets his emotions in check. As best he can, at least. It's hard, but, oddly enough, not for any bad reason. Which may, in fact, be worse. Damn those good intentions!]
[Once he's good (and it thankfully doesn't take long), he acknowledges Yato with a determined nod.]
You have my word.
[And he doesn't intend on breaking it.]
