Rating/Warning: NERDS. EVERYWHERE.

[All right, so it's a few days later than intended, but when the night that you plan a party just completely disappears into a mess of mayhem and murderous Santas, well, you improvise. At least, that's been Komaeda's plan. After making sure to let everyone know about the rescheduling, it's just a matter of coordinating.

So here it is. Here they are.

The decorations -- courtesy of Souda -- are up: streamers, balloons, matching party hats all in varying shades of red, black and white. They're draped around the small apartment along with what is probably an oversupply of party poppers. The food is set out in the kitchen and most everywhere else.

There's even a punchbowl that's probably not spiked yet, but how long can that really last anyway? Music -- somewhat questionable in some of its variety -- plays quietly in the background. And outside the apartment, up on the roof of the building for later, the yakuza have provided some festive ~~explosives~~ fireworks.

Perfect night for a party. And Hinata's the kind of guy who deserves a good party. Right? Right. Only rules are: no murdering anyone and have some fun.]

((ooc: so yes, mingle around! post top levels, tag others. the party will start in the apartment and hit the roof at some point, so pick your location(s) too, if you like!))

No--

[He reddens at the thought...] You know it wasn't.

A girl can imagine-- but still, Hinata, that's actually really cute!

[ She's proud of you! ]

T-- thanks?

[Hearing it like that...] I mean, I do think I can come up with good stuff for birthdays on my own.

Yep, that one's pretty good. [ Complete with a thumbs' up. ] Yang approved! You'll just have to figure out how to top it now.

Well-- I've got way more to work with here. [HE'LL HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY FOR KOMAEDA AGAIN... Because he knows he likes the gushy, romantic stuff, he'll make it so.]

Candlelight and rose petals?

[ EYEBROW WRIGGLE. ]

Oi...

[HE SORT OF DID THAT sort of, no rose petals though.]

...I already know he likes the sappy stuff, but I'm not doing anything with rose petals.

Awww, why not? Too messy?

Yeah, and-- do people really do that?

[ISN'T IT JUST IN MOVIES...]

Maybe? I don't know, I really only see rose petals when Ruby's being a speed demon.

[ WHO KNOWS. ]

[--okay, that bears investigating. Squints.]

Why...?

It's a part of her Semblance. Kind of like how I have flames sometimes.

[ Easiest way to explain. ]

So it's "sometimes rose petals"?

[Semblances are... certainly something else.] What other kinds are out there?

Shadows...? Well, Semblances aren't usually the same, so it all depends.

They're... individual to the person?

Yeah. A Semblance has to do with what you need, your personality, your background-- a lot of things that have to do with you.

It's... the first time I ran into any kind of ability like that. [...] Is that the reason why my Aura's a different colour than Komaeda's too?

[His yellow to Komaeda's grey...]

Yeah-- [ With a quick nod. ] That's exactly it. That's your soul, so there's definitely bound to be some differences.

I tried telling Kuzuryuu and Pekoyama about it... I don't think they knew how to react.

But, right-- the training's been coming along really well. [Hinata looks both proud and grateful; for her doing that for them both in the first place.] For both me and Komaeda.

[Their barriers!!]
