[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.))

He nods at the description of lychee. "Exactly! And we should add sugar so it's sweet like actual lychee is." Chouji pours hot water into the teapot. Then he gets out the sugar bowl and sets it down in front of Ikki, intending to let her decide just how much sugar ought to go in. Yes, he is indeed giving the seven year old authority over sugar.
no subject
"Oh! Yeah, definitely add sugar!" And then she gets full authority...
Chouji, you poor soul. Because he has just given the seven year old authority over sugar, and she is sure to add as much as she can.
no subject
He laughs lightly, beckoning expansively. "Go ahead, then!"
Perhaps the seventeen year old whose favorite food is junk food may not be the best influence. As long as the sugar eventually dissolves and their tea doesn't crunch, Chouji is happy.
no subject
"Okay!" And Chouji really should have expected the several spoonfuls that get dumped in. Sickly sweet tea is a go.
It won't quite crunch, but they are definitely careening towards a sugar high...
no subject
He just grins at her eagerness with the sugar, though. Lychee is so sweet in the usual scheme of things that the amount she dumped in will probably just make it taste more like the fruit it ought to. Besides, when has he ever objected to sweets? Or any food, for that matter, unless it was poorly cooked to the point of beyond recognition.
no subject
Things she tried not to think about.
"I never knew her when she wasn't super-old, 'til I came here, you know?" Ikki pushed the sugar back a little, having completed her task.
