[Voice / Action: CH1 Floor 4, 5/1] Birthday Party (Joint post with Ino)

[VOICE, INO]
[A loud, familiar voice would be heard throughout the network today. Good thing it's not so early in the morning when it hollers or there'd be a lot of ruined mornings today despite the important announcement.]

Hey, Luceti! We've all had a lot of drama these past few days so, what do you all say about a little party? It's Chouji's birthday today and, of course, that needs celebrating!

Come by the first community building and you'll find the happenings on the fourth floor. See you there!


[With a little giggle, the announcement ends there.]

[ACTION]
It was only a little bit of a surprise to Chouji when he received an invitation to his own birthday party, delivered to the apartment door. These were things you just had to expect and accept with Ino as a teammate. Everyone on the floor along with Kiba and Asuma received paper invitations. Then he heard her network post, inviting pretty much everyone in the village. Ino.

He'd laughed and grinned when he woke up to a knock on the apartment door and the smell of chips that morning, a purple whirlwind demanding entrance to the apartment so she could decorate it. A glance down the hallway showed a trail of butterfly decorations, marking the path of Hurricane Ino.

Chouji gladly spent half of his birthday in the kitchen, likewise decorated with butterflies, cooking for his own party. He'd always been the team's cook, and there was no reason for that to change just because it was his party.

By dinnertime, the common areas as well as Chouji, Shikamaru, and Masaomi's apartment held enough potato chips to feed an army even without all the food Chouji cooked. Barbecue, of course, along with vegetables, rice, fish, chicken curry, miso soup, and one or two desserts. He made sure to include pudding, his thanks to Ino for her thought and effort.

Now they just needed some guests to help eat it all.


((OOC: I am very close to done with the semester and will be back to full tagging speed ASAP! I'll match whatever format you tag me in, prose or brackets.

Open to anyone! Threadhopping and mingling highly encouraged! It's a party.))

Wait, you mean you were in a jungle? [Filled with wild animals?]

Not for the first time. One of my earliest drafts was there, and some other missions. It's kinda like the Forest of Death: the tropic version.
floralogy: (so you're a lady?)

[Oh, Forest of Death. Good old days.]

So, it's also filled with wild, weird animals?
endgames: (That so?)

Some bugs. I was on the outskirts. Border control for the cultists, and all.

[Hm, these are good chips.]

[Nothing but the best for Chouji!]

Someday, I'll go on a more serious mission like that too. You know, something that doesn't involve costume-design for a circus. [While it was fun, Ino misses some action.] You think we can go in one as a team?
endgames: (Really)

[action;]

[personal profile] endgames 2013-05-14 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. I know I get a lot of mission orders, but I never ask around to see if anyone else gets the same ones. [That's how they go, anyways. Mission orders show up in the journal, and you can refuse or accept them.] We should keep a closer eye out.
floralogy: (you know you want this)

That'd be the day they'll be able to see perfect teamwork. [Someone's overconfident.]
endgames: (Rhythmic)

[action;]

[personal profile] endgames 2013-05-18 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
We don't need to impress them that much.

[What is this overconfidence you speak of.]
floralogy: (nice to meet you)

[action;]

[personal profile] floralogy 2013-05-18 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
You think so? [Ino pretends to do some thinking.] Maybe we can just tone down our perfect teamwork a little bit. We don't want them thinking we're being too confident.
endgames: (Think I'll take the last one...)

[action;]

[personal profile] endgames 2013-05-21 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
'course not. Not when we're supposedly out of practice. [Given all the Luceti time they haven't spent as a trio.] Matching pace with their teams would be good enough, if we want to set the standards low.
floralogy: (pretty is the magic word)

What do you say I set up a regular training regimen for us, then? I mean, come on, we can't be rusty. [Watch her nag all of you for this.]
endgames: (Ear)

Much as it pains me to admit it, even physically so... [Because what is work, ew.] I probably need it.

[He's not the slacker he used to be, and he's trained a lot more since coming to Luceti. But going home and coming back threw off his groove. And if he has to train, group training is miles easier to work through.]
