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

[16autumnroad]

[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.))

I would certainly be willing to dispense lessons! It will be the most intense training regimen of your entire life.

[breezing]

[ does she have to wear the green suit tho ]

I want to learn!! It'll be fun!

[niceguypose]

[No but she'll receive one either way.]

Very well, then. Whenever you would like, I can give you lessons early in the morning.

[breezing]

[ oh god she'd probably agree to wear it too ]

Sure! I normally have lessons in the mornings with grandpas, but I think some days I can have 'em with you instead. Grandpa won't mind if we do it in the afternoon.

[niceguypose]

Ah... I would not wish to interfere with your quality time with your grandfather. I can train you after such lessons! That way your youthful lessons may be optimized.

[breezing]

That works, too!!! Isn't everything I do youthful, though?

[niceguypose]

That's true! You're the epitome of youth, Ikki-chan! [He pats at her hat.] You just have a ways to go to reach the level of adolescent youth!

[breezing]

What level of youth are you at, then, Lee?

[niceguypose]

I am not sure. Gai-Sensei would be better at estimating it more accurately than myself. But rest assured, under his instructions, I try to use my youth at... full power!

[breezing]

I can't wait to start, then!!! I want to be youthful too! What'll we do for training??

[niceguypose]

Many types of exercises that will push you through the limits! Several hundred laps around a variety of locations, several hundred pushes and sit-ups, basic sparring instructions....

[breezing]

[ ...

YOU KNOW SHE'S SEVEN RIGHT...

Although she doesn't look too put out because doesn't Rapunzel train with him, too?? ]

Oh, I can do sparring! Well, the kind you do for skills.

[niceguypose]

[HOW LONG DO YOU THINK LEE'S BEEN DOING THIS]

Of course. What you will and won't do will be entirely mandated by yourself! That will just also effect the rate of your progress.

[breezing]

[ naruto world you are so intense ]

Right!!! And then I'll have super speed and surprise people!

[niceguypose]

[Of course it's intense. It's a world where both Lee and Gai exist.]

Yes! I am sure that you will have much fun. But just remember to use your abilities for good!

[breezing]

[ How does that world not explode from the sheer awesome? ]

Of course!! ...Do pranks count as good?

[niceguypose]

They can, in moderation! As long as they are performed in good youthly spirit!

[breezing]

So does that mean you've pulled pranks before, Lee?

[niceguypose]

No, it does not.

[breezing]

Why not?

[niceguypose]

I suppose... I have never been one for lies or deception, beyond what is required of a ninja.

[breezing]

...Say, Lee, what do you do for fun, anyway?

[niceguypose]

I train! And I also tend to enjoy eating curried meals.

[breezing]

So you never play games or just goof off with people?

[niceguypose]

I play games as well! They would just count as training - because of the challenges involved! And I suppose I have occasionally chortled alongside others.
