Who: a gathering of birds and pals
What: it's a little birdie's birthday
When: dec 1st
Where: (comics)jason's central city apartment
Content Warnings: hopefully no fisticuffs in here

( about a week prior to the day, jason sent out an ominous invitation because how else is he supposed to tell people about shit? he's still recovering from both the stupid fight with junior and the numerous fights he'd been in before that with every jack and john he could find who was desperate enough to fall for him antagonizing them.

which means he's beaten enough that the several hours dickie spends in school is spent prepping snacks for the party. there's a massive sheet cake bought at one of the nearby grocery stores with generic balloons and a "happy birthday dickie" written in frosting across the top of it, along with several charcuterie plates, bowls of potato chips, and massive tubs of ice cream in the freezer.

jason figures there's enough of them they'll eventually eat through everything.

there's red, black, and yellow balloons tied to the table with all the snacks with a brightly colored happy birthday banner taped to the wall above it. be careful of the hidden knives, batarangs, and various other bat tools stashed in every potential hiding place around the apartment - jason wasn't picking those up for a party.

if it looks a little excessive, it's because that's the vibe he was going for. )

( jason organized the get together, but he's - minimally participating once people start showing up. there's an L shaped couch in the living space in front of a massive television set up with a couple consoles, and jason's thrown himself into the corner of the couch, shoes on but carefully hanging off the edge of the couch and an old paperback in hand that he's making an attempt to read through while everyone else crowds into his apartment.

occasionally, he'll make his way into the kitchen to grab a soda out of the fridge and steal shit off of others' plates like the gremlin he is, but crowds aren't really his thing and he knows damn well he has a tendency to antagonize a good half the people here when they open their mouths, so sticking to his own area is probably playing it safe.

probably. )

[It’s only because the party is for one of his siblings that Jason took his older self’s invitation. He’s still fuming over what happened to the Backbreakers’ territory and December in general is a bad time for him.

But for Dickie’s sake on this one day, he can try to focus on something else. He drops off his birthday gift first before helping himself to some food. He’s also pointedly making sure he keeps himself away from his doppelgänger, mostly by staying in a corner.

It’s too easy for them to start a fight and today really isn't the time for it]

[ He hadn't not expected something, but the effort Jason put into it was more than he'd expected. It's not too different from his parties back home-- crushingly normal, he thinks, for anyone who was hoping to see the lavish lifestyle of a billionaire's ward.

He feels homesick on days like this, but the care Jason put into this and the people who showed up eases it.

He grins at anyone coming in. ] Glad you could make it.

[ kyle doesn't really celebrate the holidays.

he has no reason to. sometimes, he'd stop by to check on his mother, spend a few days with her. otherwise, he'd often find himself back with watchtower duty. it's not that he didn't like the holidays. he did and a long time ago, kyle resented the idea of being stuck with work while everyone celebrated.

but then alex died. donna died. jenny died. holidays lost their lustre.

it's different this year and kyle finds himself uncertain. not quite sure what to do. he doesn't throw himself into the holiday season, but he does pick out a few lights, even some wreaths. he hums a few christmas tunes while he's at it too. ]
