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.

[Osomatsu laughs as well, because the idea is funny. and then]

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

Not the English alphabet anyway. Vikings use runes.

[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)

[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)

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)

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]
