third time's the charm
who: The NEETs, Chibita, anyone who was invited or wants to stumble across the party
what: A Belated Bday party for the NEETS
when: Afternoon-Evening, Dec 10th
where: On the beach in one of those convenient cabins mentioned in the mingle log
warnings: none insofar. Probably drunken shenanigans, bad karaoke and possibly feels? We'll see.
So once upon a time (that time being, specifically, on the TDM about a month and a half ago,) Ichimatsu mentioned to Chibita that he'd missed his own birthday. Naturally, Chibita suggested that they have a belated party to make up for it. Now, he's making good on that idea. It just so happens that the festival and the Beach Cabins offered above happen to be a rather good opportunity. So he's managed to snag one of them this morning, and claimed it for the party later.
Said cabin is now moderately decorated. There's a couple simple happy birthday banners up, as well as a couple non-helium balloons scattered on the floor. Chibita's set up a bit of food and drink in the kitchen for people to come in and nosh on. The table has been taken over by an array of finger foods, mostly. Chips, dips, veggies, bacon-wrapped-dates, shrimp chips, gyoza, salted chicken wings, and various yakitori. Oh, and, of course, oden. Because if Chibita's preparing the party, there is absolutely going to be oden.
There is, also, a cake. Said cake is homemade and looks quite similar to the one in this photo. But don't worry: that stick of oden is made of fondant and moulding sugar. The cake has also been safely tucked away in the fridge for safekeeping.
Aside from things to eat, there's also plenty to drink. Nothing really too 'hard liquor'-ish, though. Beer, wine and cider, mostly, as well as mulled wine on the stove, because it's cold and that's a great drink for the holidays. And plenty of soda and other non-alcoholic entities, for those abstaining or too young.
Additionally, there's several different board games in the shared living space for people to play with. Scrabble, Taboo, Pictionary, and even mahjong, to name a few. So have a go at those. There is, unfortunately, a TV screen that's been hooked up to a Karaoke machine. So that is also an option, to be used for good or for evil. There's plenty of space to lounge and mingle to your fancy, both inside and out. There's a fire in the fire place, as well as a bonefire outside, supplied with the necessary ingredients for s'mores.
So, uh...help yourself? Maybe you know any of these guys and were invited. Maybe you just stumbled across the party on the beach and decided to join in. The post is your metaphorical Belated Birthday Oyster.

For Osomatsu, Karamatsu and Ichimatsu
Karamatsu's are made out of a sparkly blue yarn.
Osomatsu's are made out of a deep, wine-red yarn.
Ichimatsu's mare made mostly out of a violet yarn, but on the palm, he managed to knit in what looks like the pads of a cat's paw in a cream white.
All of the gloves are made of a very warm yarn, and each have a small little stick of oden, no bigger than a couple centimeters, stitched onto the cuff.
He'll give them to each of them as he sees them, as the party gets started. They're wrapped simply in newspaper.]
I'M DYING
[Being nearly immediately gifted with a parcel wrapped in newspaper didn't help, and he's sprout his cat ears and tail as soon as Chibita presents him with it. He looks from the parcel to Chibita and back several times before gently squeezing the newspaper and frowning.]
It's not like it's actually our birthday, you didn't have to get me anything...
[In Ichimatsu speak, that's a pretty solid thank you, really. When he opens it, he catches himself petting the gloves immediately, and it takes him a moment to turn them over and see the cat's paw in the palm. Holy shit, Chibita how are you so perfect. He pulls them on even though it's not quite cold enough for them yet, and there's the slightest of smiles on his face as he wiggles his fingers staring at the knitted toe beans.]
SCREECHES WHAT A CUTE NEET
...but that...it doesn't happen. Ichimatsu pets the gloves before pulling them on and even...smiles a little??? That's saying a lot for him; normally his expression is stormy or deadpan at best. And that nervousness in his stomach unwinds a bit and the tension starts to leave Chibita's shoulders]
Do they fit okay? I had ta guess at your measurements.
SOMETIMES HE'S UNBELIEVABLY ADORABLE thanks i hate it
[He continues to flex his fingers a bit, holding one out to Chibita palm-forward. These... were actually really nice. Since when did Chibita knit? When did he have time to learn something like that when he was always running his stand, anyway?]
no subject
Kekekeh, I guess that's so! [Chibita is beaming, now that he can see that they fit well and Ichimatsu seems to like them and he doesn't have to prepare for a fight] Since it's gettin' colder, they'll keep your hands warm n' everythin'. Don't lose 'em, okay? [he's teasing, really]
no subject
I'll try, but Nyanko likes to nest when it gets cold so he might take off with 'em. [He doesn't quite manage a specific "thanks", but it's implied.]
no subject
no subject
...yeah. He's been through all of this shit with me.
no subject
no subject
...yeah. Even on that shitty hunk of metal all the way out in space.
no subject
Well...I'm glad y'had him with you. N' that he came here, too.
no subject
...guess I am, too. [The cat meows appreciatively at his feet, seeming to have adapted some kind of filter to not immediately exploit any withheld truths. Or maybe Ichimatsu's learned to be more honest? It's hard to say.]
no subject
Ah, anyway...I know you're not that big 'a fan of parties, but I thought a small one might be alright? With just your friends n' that sorta thing.
[...do you like the party Ichi this is v important.]
no subject
...ah, yeah. It's okay.
[He's touched, really, but that's definitely still something he hasn't figured out how to tell people.]

I've been eating your oden since I was a kid, Chibita.

...ah, thanks, by the way. This whole thing... you really didn't have to.
