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.

[ah... Osomatsu chuckles at that, because he thinks Ivar is making a joke about the whole feet thing........ hopes he is]

So did your army go to war?
ragnarsson: ([19.8] Pleased as punch)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2017-12-15 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Don't worry, he is. Only Ivar is allowed to joke about his condition. Anyone else who does so gets a knife to the throat.]

We did. All the way to England. We've already killed one king and we're going to do the same to another.

[He says this all very proudly, the way most teenagers talk about getting all A's on a report card or how they'd gotten their first paycheck from a job.]

[uh... wow... they killed a king? what rebels these vikings were! Osomatsu looks both impressed and scared at the same time]

Well, uh... That's good! I guess! Good job! [????????]

ragnarsson: ([19.11] I'm brilliant I know)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2017-12-15 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
[That's definitely the proper way to look when Ivar talks about anything Viking-related. Just be glad he spared Osomatsu the gory details of what blood-eagling entails. He'd likely make the man puke.]

Thank you. I'll go back someday soon and finish the job.

Is there, uh... A reason you're goin' around an' killin' kings?
ragnarsson: ([18.6] That is not the price that must b)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2017-12-15 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
Because I got bored and thought the monarchy could use a shake-up. [There's a beat before he adds on:] That was a joke.

No, the reason is that these kings killed my father, the most famous Viking king of all time. One hated him outright and did the deed, but the other pretended to be his friend while handing him over all the same. I hate him the worse for it. When I get my hands on him-- [He bares his teeth in the slightest resemblance to a smile.] --they will hear his screams all the way in Hell.
relieable: (it got stuck)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-12-15 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ah...... AH. that is some messed up story! Osomatsu can practically feel the rage radiating off of Ivar]

I... I'm sorry. [at least Ivar got them back]
ragnarsson: ([18.13] This is where our father died)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2017-12-16 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
It's alright. The gods were good to me. My father has ended up here in the city.

[Which was a good thing for everyone's welfare. Ragnar was perhaps the only one that could put a leash on his son's more violent and brutal tendencies.]

[???????]

Wh-what, really? Like, he's alive, an' everything?
ragnarsson: ([17.41] Serious talk time)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2017-12-16 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. He's from about four years before I was born, but it's alright. Just having him here again is enough.

[To have his father present again, Ivar would have done just about anything. His love for the man knew no bounds.]
relieable: (she's got a legit dose of dude going on)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-12-16 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[wow. that's incredible. Osomatsu drops his gaze for a moment in thought]

This place... has that kinda power, to pull people here from different worlds an' different times. It's super weird.
ragnarsson: ([17.21] Mmmhmm)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2017-12-16 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
I gave up trying to figure out the rhyme or reason to this place a long time ago.

[Nine months here and Ivar has become inoculated to all the weirdness.]
relieable: in theory (glitter fights sound a lot funner)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-12-16 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
... I'm just wonderin' why they can't send us home... or why they choose only certain people to send here, an' not others. Yanno?
ragnarsson: ([19.1] Getting his way)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2017-12-16 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Well, perhaps not everyone feels as out of place as us. As for going home, I've been working on a way to do that, at least temporarily. I've got things back there I need to deal with. But I'll come back once I'm done.
relieable: (at least be safe and use a spork)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-12-16 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Osomatsu looks up again, as though he is surprised. a viking that's trying to travel through space and time?]

How... do ya plan on doin' it? Goin' back, I mean.
ragnarsson: ([17.35] Let's have a look)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2017-12-16 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
My old girlfriend managed to get them to send her to my world. If she can do it, there's a way for them to do it with me.

[Ivar had a lot of motivation to get back as soon as he could.]
relieable: (your cock deserves a montage)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-12-16 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... I thought you were, like, makin' a time machine, or something, yourself.
ragnarsson: ([17.22] Laughing)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2017-12-16 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[That gets a burst of laughter from Ivar.]

I don't even know how to read, let alone anything as much to do with technology as that.
relieable: (dude the tree smoked with me)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-12-17 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Osomatsu laughs as well, because the idea is funny. and then]

...Y'don't know how to read?
ragnarsson: ([17.21] Mmmhmm)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2017-12-17 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Not the English alphabet anyway. Vikings use runes.
relieable: are what college is about (restraining orders)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-12-17 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ah... Osomatsu doesn't read English very well either! he knows the English alphabet at least... sort of]

Japanese has its own alphabet too! The symbols are called characters, though. And there are different alphabets depending on what you're writing about. [Osomatsu looks around and finds a piece of paper and a pen]

Let's see. Since your name is pretty foreign, I'd write it in katakana. [he thinks about how he would write out Ivar's name, then settles on Aibaa (アイバー)... there might be a better way to write it, but that's simple enough for now] There! Ivar! [then he draws a grumpy-looking face below it]
ragnarsson: ([19.6] Use the terrain against them)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2017-12-17 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
[He traces the characters that make up his name, a slightly pensive expression on his face.]

So many alphabets. Why does there need to be more than one for the same language?

[Ivar had wondered if there was more than the two that he knew. Ivar always has a thirst for knowledge and is always interested to learn more about other cultures, provided nothing conflicts with his own belief system.]
relieable: i am fighting the urge to send him a "sorry for your loss" card (he sent me a dick pic)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-12-17 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... Don't remember. I think it has something to do with the old alphabet being, like, too complicated. People tried to simplify kanji, but then the old alphabet was still used sometimes. [he rubs his chin in thought] And then katakana is for foreign words, or, like, sound effects. It can be pretty weird if you're tryin' t'learn it, I guess!
ragnarsson: ([17.10] Full body shot)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2017-12-17 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
That's strange. I'll put it down on the list of things to learn right after being fluent in Greek and becoming literate. [He may have never gone to school a day in his life, but Ivar is a very smart cookie. His mind is one of his greatest assets.]
relieable: on your floor (this dress was meant to end up)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-12-17 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Greek, huh? Good luck with that one! [Osomatsu will fully support Ivar in his endeavors... as long as he doesn't have to do any work himself]
