They say it's your birthday...

Who: Sam, Zeke, and hopefully, YOU!
When: April 1 (timey wimey...)
Where: A room in Fujiwara Hall at the University of Yumemigaoka
What: Zeke's leveling up! Happy birthday!
Warnings: potential foam weapon violence




Sam has...really done her best. She's barely been back for a full month, but even with all the chaos, she's managed to hammer down what she hopes will be a decent birthday party for Zeke!

She's rented out a hall (at the local university she attends!) and set it up--one long table for food, a few other scattered tables to be seated at and eat at. There's a table that's clearly for incidental gifts, but in the flyers she'd put up at the DU mid-month, she'd made it pretty clear that the only present needed was the gift of one's presence! That had been Zeke's request, when Sam had asked him his opinion.

As is typical of a Sam party, the spread is pretty lavish. Pizza!! She's got the typical meat pies, some white pizzas, some veggie pies. The spinach and artichoke dip is also made with vegan stuff, like the veggie pizzas are. There are various other little snacky tidbits, but the centerpiece and crowning glory is the chocolate cake with the fondant replica of Dreamer Chaosbringer's Purple Lightning Dreamsmasher perched on it, along with a pair of candles that read "27".

Another section of the hall is cordoned off. That's where the real party is going to be held--the fun and games! There are a few rented arcade games that are popular (some side scrollers, shooters, a fighting game or two, and something like Dance Dance Revolution!), a karaoke machine, a truly GIANT pinata, and the star of the show--a ring of sorts, with a thick helping of foam padding on the floor within and surrounding it. There's a place to spectate, but the true draw is the weapons rack. The assorted implements of destruction aren't real weapons, of course--Sam could never have gotten the proper permits in time. No, they're foam weapons, clearly arranged so if partygoers desire, they can wallop each other!

It is totally obvious that Zeke is itching for a chance to get in that ring...especially since his present from Sam is a life sized foam replica of the same sword decorating his cake!



(you all know the drill here, have fun, mingle, enjoy, party! no one is obligated to chat up Sam or Zeke unless you really want to! Let your character blow off some steam, if they can! literally everyone is invited to this! mind the headers, but feel free to make your own, too!)

If you gave that voice credit, a lot of things would be different right now. I'm glad you're not doing that. Even when it's hard.

[See, Zeke can sometimes be serious. He even gives her a little squeeze to emphasize his words.]

Blood loss isn't great either!

[ ...but that's just her on the back foot now, somehow. ]

Nah, arcade games like that wanna take all your money.

[ But she'll let Illya play it first, if she wants. ]

It'll be easier than a Donpachi type game, at least.

[ She's pretty small. Scrawny too, despite her diet. ]

Really, I'm not too picky as long as there's a good balance.

[ Meat and an appropriate vegetable - or fruit, in this case. ]

As long as there isn't too much pineapple, or the ham is too mild. You don't want to taste nothing but pineapple.

[Criticize Zeke as you will, but who can match him for sheer momentum?]

Eh, I've got some to go around. Depends on if the skull's truly hollow or filled with bone or muscle or something, doesn't it?
reluctants: (i'll think about it later)

[personal profile] reluctants 2025-04-17 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...

The young girl pauses.

She looks at Zeke. She turns her head to look in Sam's direction. Then back to Zeke. Then back to Sam.

...

Then, slowly: ]


Are you two.. dating?
reluctants: (when we move forward)

[personal profile] reluctants 2025-04-17 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ She nods. ]

Sure! I mean.. He doesn't have to know, right?

[ Illya is pretty sure Zeke is over there drawing all attention to himself anyway. He's good at that. It's a thought that isn't even meant in a negative way - she thinks it's really admirable, especially as someone who is way shy and has trouble speaking up sometimes.

If Sam does decide to open the gift right now, she will find that the small bag has some homemade cookies in them. They actually look pretty alright - not burnt at all! Not to mention that they're made in all sorts of cute shapes, like bunnies. ]
thezekeinator: (what?!)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2025-04-17 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
...How is this a secret to anyone?

[Has he really been so bad about mentioning it? In his mind he's happily talking up Sam almost constantly, but the news keeps surprising people somehow.]

Yeah, for a while now. Since before she had to go back to America.
reluctants: (is slightly changing.)

[personal profile] reluctants 2025-04-17 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Some of us are kind of oblivious, Zeke!! Or don't really try to mess around too much with the adults' business.. Hence why it definitely looks like it was a genuine surprise to Illya here. ]

Oh.

[ ...

She's still processing it, apparently, since she's quiet for a moment after that small 'oh.' ]


I'm happy for you. Um-- I mean, if you guys are happy with it, that is!
thezekeinator: (smirky smirk)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2025-04-17 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zeke gives her the big thumbs-up and a huge grin.]

Oh yeah. We're actually looking for a place to live together now.

[personal profile] flatcola 2025-04-22 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kozakura thinks far too much to impede that momentum, surely. ]

Wh-it's filled with brain?!
thezekeinator: (smirky smirk)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2025-04-22 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, was that an option for me? I hadn't realized!

[Zeke's grin is smugly self-aware.]

[personal profile] flatcola 2025-04-23 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Tch-

[ His counter-bullying game is on point. ]

You're a counter-puncher I see.
thezekeinator: (zeke2)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2025-04-24 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zeke nods, satisfied. He'll count his victory as an excellent birthday present.]

The great thing about having your own PR is that you can believe it.
reluctants: (maybe it's because it's intertwining)

[personal profile] reluctants 2025-04-24 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ .. oh. Kozakura brings up an important point, apparently, because something changes a little bit about the girl.. She moves her hand into her pocket, feeling around in there, and then looks a little more dejected as she says: ]

I don't have that much money on me..

[ Problem #1. ]
saynotobugs: Disgruntled. (stop that)

[personal profile] saynotobugs 2025-04-25 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Theatre kid. Gotta put wasting my life to some use.

[Maki frowns and ducks down, trying to go for Sam's legs instead.]
saynotobugs: Bemused. (huh)

[personal profile] saynotobugs 2025-04-25 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maki gets up. She looks away, grip tightening briefly on the axe before she drops it.]

Good game. You have fun out there, okay? Someone should.
flatcola: (pic#16608123)

[personal profile] flatcola 2025-04-27 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'll work out another angle of attack. Gotta keep you on your toes.
flatcola: (pic#16961895)

[personal profile] flatcola 2025-04-27 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
I... don't think they're set up to need coins.

[ Unless Zeke went bankrupt on this. ]
reluctants: (i'll think about it later)

[personal profile] reluctants 2025-04-27 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Darn! They're not even the first Illya is hearing of either.. It seems like everyone really is looking for places to live together, huh?

But of course the thing she remarks out loud is just: ]


Wow, that's some real adult things..!

[ Look, everything seems like a thing for adults (the innocent kind, of course!!!) when you're one of the younger Dreamers, okay. She can't even imagine having her own place yet! ]
reluctants: (is slightly changing.)

[personal profile] reluctants 2025-04-27 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
.. they're not?

[ She seems just a little bit surprised. ]

You mean we can play this as often as we want? [ Kozakura may be accidentally creating a monster over here, actually.. ]
thezekeinator: (serious)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2025-04-28 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zeke nods, bringing up his hand to toy with her hair.]

It's a worse world in every way, if you listen to that voice. Something I think everyone should learn.
