Let's all congratulate us with another cup of tea
who: Finn Nolastname, Poe Dameron, AND YOU
what: A FINNDAY CELEBRATION. One year in quarantine and one year since Finn got his name
when: Backdated to November 11th
where: Finn and Poe's apartment
warnings: None!
[ Poe didn't keep this party a secret. Not from Finn, and certainly not from anyone in quarantine. He posted to the network about it more than once, sent invitations to every friend Finn has ever mentioned, and has been preparing noisily for it for almost two weeks.
He might have gone a little overboard.
There's catering, some of it exotic and some of it more on the bland side and all of it painfully healthy. Even the desserts are healthy--fruit salads and delicate little pastries with unprocessed sugar and dark chocolate, sweetness cut with savory or bitter so none of it is overwhelming. The dessert feature is a "cake" constructed entirely of fruit from around Riverview, held together by magic and served in slices. The magic only holds until you stick a fork in the slice, but by then you should have it on a plate anyway, right?
Beyond the catering, Poe got permission from Jyn to borrow her bottomless shrimp dispenser, so there's that. The Mystery Flavor is kumquat chutney dipped and you'd better believe that Poe has eaten half his weight in kumquat chutney shrimp by the time the party actually rolls around. There's also one broccoli pizza positioned carefully in the place of honor at the center of the buffet table. Poe couldn't help himself.
Beyond the food, there are games set up all around the apartment. Card games, board games, a couple takes on carnival games--even a board pinned up against one wall with balloons fixed to it, along with a set of darts set up a short distance away. It's fairly obvious what that one is for. Each balloon has a little folded-up paper inside with a code for a gift card at various places around town--and a sign that says "Don't be an asshole, leave some for other people (Jyn)."
When Poe isn't up in everyone's business making sure people are having fun, or hovering near Finn making sure he's having fun, he's still easy enough to spot--he's in the corner, sprawled on a chair with BB-8 resting against his ankles.
Yeah, he might have gone overboard, but as far as he's concerned Finn deserves the best. ]

[he brought the cat, naturally. raddus is finn's best friend hands down, there's no reason she shouldn't be there for the party! raddus immediately decides her favorite spot is lingering by the shrimp dispenser, but she also darts around the house curiously, because new space! maybe she will take a flying leap onto your board game and scatter the pieces like any good cat would.]
[cassian himself will give the darts a try, and by try i mean hit a balloon on the very first throw because his aim is just Too Good. victory is gonna taste like his favorite soup shop, how nice.]
[he's much better at lingering and socializing, like, as a person, and a large part of that is thanks to some of the people here at this party. he doesn't mind being here at all, even if it weren't for celebrating finn. catch him mingling like a real functioning adult, or at least one who's gotten even better at pretending.]

I should get a second one just because I let him borrow the shrimp.
[ SO THERE. ]

Raddus being here means Jyn and Cassian are here, and there aren't so many people present that he can't spot one of them right off. Cassian nails one of the balloons and Poe is shocked, truly shocked at his accuracy. He walks over to clap Cassian on the shoulder, grinning. ]
Glad you made it even though it's a party.
