[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!)
wwtd: happy (:))

[ ryu is a bit like a child. a very well-spoken child who has clearly been through a lot already but someone still learning about the world around him and its people. he has a good heart. he's on the right track. ]

It's okay not to know. It's okay to make mistakes, too. Sometimes you might not be right and... it's okay. That's why we have friends and people to surround ourselves with. To help.

Right?

I follow my gut. What is yours telling you?

... I think... it's telling me to talk to him. ... To ask him to open up.

Because if we don't open up to each other, how can we take care of each other?
wwtd: happy (see ya!)

[ hiyori gives him a small, playful nudge before holding out the s'mores she's made toward him. ]

See? You do know what you're doing. You just have to believe in yourself.

[He looks down at it curiously, tilting his head. What... what is this? He's so confused.]

... What... is this?

It looks... very strange...

[He's been momentarily distracted, okay.]
wwtd: comic (and i oop)

[ MOMENTARILY. ]

D-does it? It's a s'more. It's like a, um, a dessert sandwich.
amnesiadragon: (what the samba)

[personal profile] amnesiadragon 2024-05-30 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
B... but part of it is gooey and the rest is hard... won't it all squeeze out?

[It's not like he'll mind if he has to take off his shirt if it gets dirty, but other people might!]
wwtd: blush, excited (OOOOOOOOO)

[personal profile] wwtd 2024-05-30 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh?? [ RYU IT'S OK ]

It's supposed to squeeze a little bit because the marshmallow is squishy. Umm, here!

[ hiyori finds a party plate nearby and offers it. ]

Just hold it beneath while you're taking a bite. It might still be a bit hot, too, so be careful.

[ motheryori ]
amnesiadragon: (flutter)

O-okay.

[He takes the plate in one hand and bites into the s'more. His eyes widen a little - the textures are... strange and play in his mouth in a way he hasn't felt before. It's sticky and smooth but also really, really sweet...]

S'good...

[Oh, right. He shouldn't talk with his mouth full. He swallows his bite and nods solidly before trying that again.]

It's good!
wwtd: excited (SPARKLES AT)

[ watching ryu's trepidation change, real time, into delight makes hiyori grin. she doesn't mind him talking with his mouth full either, but it's charming he catches himself to adjust. ]

Right?! Let's make some more!

[ make

s'more.... ]
