[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.

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

[His eyes shimmer as he looks up to her. For her to speak that highly of him - it means quite a lot.]

Sakura-san... Your confidence in me is overwhelming.

Well, don't be too overwhelmed, because I'm going to keep right on feeling it, hm?

[Her smile is still shadowed by all the heavy things they've faced, but it's genuine nonetheless; she believes in him.]

[A nod. It doesn't change what happened - but it feels refreshing and enriching to know he still has Sakura's faith.]

Very well. I cannot dissuade you from that. I will only have to do my best to keep living up to that faith, eh? And at the same time to believe in you... in the same manner.
medicalpunch: (Aww That's Sweet)

That's right. That's what makes us strong -- makes Konoha strong. We believe in each other and we hold ourselves to our companions' belief in us.

[Nothing can change what's past, but they can move forward as comrades and friends. That's still something, at least.]
