CLOSED | Dylan's 15th Birthday
Who: Dylan Brock ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
codicies, his housemates, and those invited to the party — which is pretty much everyone he's had a positive interaction with.
What: Dylan's 15th birthday party, a bonfire cookout!
When: October 8
Where: Home of Diana Prince in Little Love, KS
Content Warnings: none (but will label things if asked)
SETUP
(CLOSED to Dylan's housemates & anyone who might have showed up early to help prep)
Setting up for the party beforehand.
FOOD
Autumn has set in. The daytime is cool, the evenings are chilly, and there's a bonfire roaring in one of Diana's fields. Dylan's been prepping food for the party all morning — There's sausages, s'more supplies, and shish kebabs stacked with meat & vegetables. There's even some sweet potatoes! He saw a video on Japanese street food and wanted to try cooking potatoes on the fire in foil.
As for drinks, of course water and soda are available, but he managed to borrow some coffee urns from a kind caterer in town in exchange for a little manual labor. Now he's got a great setup for hot coffee, hot chocolate, AND hot cider all evening!
There's also a VERY large sheet cake for serving later. He'd been offered a brain-shaped cake, but the pictures had been a little too realistic, and he didn't think he (or the guests) would find it all too appetizing.
Though he's a little afraid the brain cake is still coming out, whether he likes it or not, but the sheet cake will be what he uses to blow out the candles, thank you very much.
SWORDPLAY
One of the gifts Dylan received was a real-life sword from Diana! He's been taking lessons from her and is ready to try it out. There's a little clearing a little ways from the bonfire where he's trying it out. If you want, you can come and spar — with Dylan, with Diana, or even with each other. With swords, sticks, or even with fists!! Come join the impromptu Fight Club.
EDIT to add: there are real AND wooden swords available for sparring, as well as wooden & straw dummies to practice on as well!
GAME TIME
There are frisbees, a football, soccer balls, even a ninepin set?? Do you have these games in your world? There's all kinds of fun sports gear available. Or you could grab something at random and start a game of Calvinball.
FIRESIDE
With the daylight fading, the fire becomes the center of activity. As you roast marshmallows or weiners (or grab one of those potatoes out of the fire) everyone huddles around, seated on rocks, stumps or lawn chairs as we all sing songs and tell stories.
Any spooky tales from your homeworld? Any songs you'd like to sing? Dylan had gotten a few guitar lessons from Jaskier before he disappeared, so if you start singing, he'll try to follow along with chords!
FIREWORKS
oh my god who brought those. please don't set any crops on fire. EXTINGUISHERS ON STANDBY.
WILDCARD
Any Standard Bonfire Activities I've forgotten, go ahead and throw them in!
After-Party Sleepover (CLOSED to Dylan's housemates + Nico, Will, Hunter, Hibiki, and Chris Yukine)
Six teenagers sleeping on couches & air mattresses in the living room, watching movies... what crimes will they commit?

[ Except Hibiki is very clearly teasing her, thanks to the clear grin on her face. Since when was she allowed to be sharp enough to catch onto something like this? ]
no subject
Oh, don't do that shit! Of course I like her! I just don't like like her! Can't a girl just miss her friend, huh?!
no subject
[ She laughs a little, but ultimately... ]
I get it, though. I miss Tsubasa-san too...
[ Not in the same way as Chris, since that's reserved for Miku, but still... ]
no subject
She's just. Someone I look to for advice, you know? Yeah, she screws up sometimes, same as the rest of us, but...
[ Chris lets out a heavy sigh. ]
...Is it really that obvious?
no subject
[ Someone to go to for advice, but still just as human as the rest of them... hey, wait, what did Chris just say? Obvious? Wait, hold on... ]
Eh?
[ ...wait. ]
Wait, I was actually right!?
[ She kind of had a feeling, but she wasn't 100% sure! She was mostly just teasing because Chris' reactions to stuff like that is cute! ]
no subject
[ Chris pales for a moment, realizing she just hung herself. ]
F-Forget what I said! I wasn't speaking right! I-I...
...
I'm out of here!
[ And she's going to try and storm off. ]
no subject
[ Oh my god, Tsubasa and Chris... that's incredible! Ah, wait, Chris is storming off now— ]
E-EHH!? Wait, Chris-chan!! This is big news!!
[ And of course, Hibiki is going to chase after her. Come back, Chris-chan! This is amazing news! ]
no subject
No it's not! It's just a stupid crush! Don't make this weird, alright?!
no subject
[ Alas, much like the puppy that Hibiki has effectively become, she continues to follow after her. Chris and Tsubasa! That's perfect! She and Tsubasa have bonded before by listing all of the adorable things about Chris! That's how Hibiki knows they'd be great together! ]
no subject
[ She stopped walking, and brought a hand to her chest. ]
Besides. Nothing'll probably come of it, anyway...
no subject
[ So therefore it's very amazing and very important and— ]
Eh? What do you mean?
