Thank you for coming! Please, enjoy yourself by all means! Remember to say, "Happy Birthday," to Hiro too please.

[ This is the greeting given by the birthday girl. Ai's face is aglow with cheerfulness that couldn't be beat as she welcomes guests inside the Sanctuary where some nice music is playing. It's the most convenient place to set up a small party after all and there's even a few things to do for fun if one isn't sticking around just for congratulatory birthday greetings:

A) FOOD

Where there is Ai Thao, there is food. Lots of it. Starring a peach birthday cake made by the Man, the Legend, Chef Archer. Aside from those, there are some Vietnamese spring rolls, roasted meat, some healthy salads, and colorful cookies and drinks! (Hey, did someone bring hard cider to this party...???)

Ai might even collect your plates and clean up after you isn't she nice? Oh, that's not Ai, it's a robot who's taken on the same skin tone as her owner... Creepy. Ah well, at least it's being helpful although it might say every once and a while, "Thank you for coming to my birthday party!"

B) Piñatas

How cute, there's a few of these cute piñatas hanging around in the ceiling. When you try to bat one down for the sweet candy innards though, they are just out of your reach. Ai Thao (real one, not the similar looking skin robot) giggles because she's passing by you. Ah, she's the culprit. Those guys can't move on their own after all.

"Sorry, sorry! I couldn't help it."

Oh, so that's all... Actually hey wait, some of those piñatas ARE trying to run away?! Try to catch one, but these little bastards are pretty fast for cardboard full of candy.

C) KARAOKE

There is a TV screen, mics, a karaoke box and an endless selection of pop music in all languages. All of them. Try to belt out those tunes, serenade your loved one, get the highest score, no one's going home a winner anyways.

(Ai's robot is sitting at the machine and taking the mic, humming in a voice that sounds too similar for comfort...)

D) Late Evening

Let's settle down. Maybe chat and catch up with other people. It's a good a time as any right? The lights are low, the cake's been served, there's hot tea (and booze still???) and there's a lovely lamp projecting stars onto the walls. What a nice mood!

(It might make your robots, should they come to the party look rather eerie though, especially since they developed that layer of skin.)

[ OOC: Robots are free to be at the party and tagging each other is encouraged! ]

[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth is not one for karaoke or piñatas. Instead, he's just here to be polite and give Ai her gift (a gift certificate at one of the upscale ice cream parlors and some fruity tea leaves), and now he's here chilling out with hot tea and a slice of cake.

Okay, he's not completely chilling out. Any robots are met with a scrutinizing, suspicious stare because he's on the lookout for anything that could happen with these things that aren't just creepy. The lamp DOES make for some good effects, though.

Bother him? Introduce your robots to him?]

A:

[swordboning]

[Well, we all know who is supervising the cake. And we all know who gets the biggest portion so hogging it is entirely banned.

Spoiler: That person is Ai. No matter who else is celebrating.

Still, Archer is here with a knife, being the server. What a not good guy.]

[zitteraal]

[ Adolf, mistrustful of robot companions that he is, has wisely refrained from activating his own bot... which means that he's just beginning to realize what would have happened if he had, with Ai's double meandering around and happily announcing 'her' birthday.

It's a special brand of disconcerting when Ai-bot moves over to him and extends her hands for his empty plate. He shakes his head to indicate that he doesn't need the help, but it's still... standing there expectantly?! To be fair, he's from a future where technology is a fact of life, but still. This isn't exactly what he'd consider good or normal.

So, when he sees Ai Prime (hopefully) out of the corner of his eye, he calls out for her quietly: ]

...You won't leave me alone. [ ha ha ]

[Don't mind Hiro as he's flipping through the song selection on TV with the remote in hand. It felt like a while since he's sung a few tunes, so this was the perfect opportunity. Thankfully, no one is getting drunk to high heaven this time around! Casually flipping around a mic in his other hand, he hums to himself before calling someone or anyone out.]

Okieeeee dooookieeee! Anyone wanna go a few rounds? I've got some decent vocal chords, y'know.

[Being the competitive fiery spirit that he was, he'll take on anyone. Doesn't matter if they completely suck or if they've been singing in a choir for years.]

[With the party coming to a close, Hiro is idly sitting down with a cup of tea in hand. He's not sure who came up with the starry lamp idea, but it was all very pretty. Yet it was also somewhat haunting in a sense. It was just reminded Hiro of certain events back home... It was a rather complex feeling since he had to deal with alien stars literally trying to kill off humanity. Every star out there was a potential enemy for him, after all.

He's looking much more quiet subdued compared to how he usually acts in public. It was quiet and peaceful enough for him to collect his thoughts. If anyone approaches him, he certainly won't turn down conversation.]

[After stuffing himself with food then singing it all out, Angelo's had enough for the evening. So he decides to relax while drinking. His robot double even came along with him to have some fun too. He's even got Ai's gift ready for her whenever she approaches him. If anyone has their robots bother him, he won't object. He also might be tipsy at best at the moment.]

[adminproof]

[ Gifts are strange. Birthday gatherings are strange, but if there's anything he'd want to celebrate, it would be birth. The birth of another person, another seed of potential, another being he loves with all his heart...there is no holiday greater, for him.

Alas, despite his love for the very notion, Saiduq himself isn't too great at picking out gifts, and his only experiences with birthdays have been with only...unconventional people. So here he is, with two...boxes floating near him, wrapped in red and black striped wrapping paper of course.

If that wasn't weird enough, perhaps the intensity with which he's staring at the stars projected on the wall and the mumbling he's doing might be. ]

[ The instant Charlie spotted the herd of piñatas, he thought "I have to enchant one of those." Imagine his surprise when they started moving around anyway.

Ah, right, their host is a psychic, isn't she? He's got to admit, she does good work.

So here we have one full grown wizard trying to chase down a moving piñata because he wants to see the full extent of what Ai's done to it. ]


[ D ]

[ This was a fun little event, and Charlie's found himself a nice place to sit as things wind down. (He will admit, however, he's keep a close eye on any of the robots around. Those things are freaky.)

As he's sitting, he idly traces a mark in the air with a finger, ice blue light flowing from his fingertip. When the mark is complete, an abandoned fork on the table next to him stands up on its prongs and begins waddling across the table.

This is apparently how Animators keep themselves entertained. ]

mixed; ota (sorry for the lateness gifts are Hard)

[sortileges]

( arrival, for ai / hiro )

[ Hiro had asked to try and make the gift embarrassing, and while he does have one embarrassing gift in the bag he holds out for Ai, there's also a cute hoodie similar to the one from when he first met her on Lee's post. There's also a bunch of puddings that will start to jump if she tries to grab one and an embarrassing hat. Once she pulls it out he'll say: ] You have to wear that today.

[ Hiro he doesn't know as well, so his bag is smaller (though definitely contains the same hat as Ai's but in blue) but there is also a weird salt and pepper set. If Hiro asks, he'll just smile and shrug...

Where the hell has he been shopping anyway???? ]

( b; ai thao kha are you trying to start a war??? )

[ He hasn't actually seen Piñatas before so this is a whole new thing. When one goes floating past he knows who is probably responsible, but that also means he's more than willing to try and drag it back. His eyes flash and the piñata goes flying towards the wall. If anyone is actually lucky, maybe it'll explode candy everywhere, or maybe Ai will just yell at him. ]

Maybe it needs some flying lessons.

[ No..... ]

( d: why is no one drunk yet??? )

[ It's not really that late when everyone seems to gather in one place. Personally, he's eaten quite a bit but has been wary of touching the drink until now. Though there is one question that springs to mind. ]

Did anyone plan any games?

ota!!!

[Look, while she was trying to find Ai, she got slightly distracted by this fascinating party game. It's not foreign to her, but it definitely was a surprise.

Well, suppose she could give it a go when offered.]

O-oh, alright. [While it runs away, Vietnam brutally crushes it with her long oar. ENJOY YOUR CANDY.]


C

[...That's a lot of karaoke. She's still skeptical after the last karaoke party, but she can watch...right?

At least she thinks the singing is great.]

Your singing was very nice.
