Case 111 [Action]

[manofgnee]

[There's a party today in Xanadu! It's the day before Euphie's 18th birthday, and in an effort to avoid any sort of bad curse, Hanna's throwing her party on Sunday.

There are big picnic tables set up with all sorts of snacks and treats. One table is devoted to desserts, especially the big birthday cake. Hanna even managed to pull through and make cookies, despite his overall inability to cook or bake.

There's music, and speakers, and a myriad of decorations, including balloons, paper lanterns, streamers, and confetti. Hanna's spent the good part of the past week planning this party.
The grill is set up, and the present table is ready as well. Hanna himself is lounging in one of the chairs, a large box in his lap. Every so often, the box moves a bit, and Hanna smiles and sticks a finger through the hole in the top of the box.

Yep. Everything is set for one awesome party.]

[Euphie arrives not expecting anything nearly so beautiful or extensive. She looks around her to see everything and everyone. She's so touched.]

[Hanna grins and gets up, careful not to knock over his box.]

Happy birthday, Euphie!!

[Penny hasn't known Euphie that long and the chaos of the last couple of weeks kept her from doing anything to help with the party, but that doesn't seem like any reason not to show up. Euphie seems exceptionally sweet; she deserves a nice birthday.

She leaves Euphie's (http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t92/cheat_reality/Eljay/Jewelry.jpg) present (http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t92/cheat_reality/Eljay/Pouch.jpg)--jewelry and a case for a phone or network device seems kind of impersonal, but safe enough--on the appropriate table. She has to get back to work soon, but not without saying hello to the birthday girl and to Hanna.]

[Hanna is, of course, sad that Penny can't stick around, but he insists that she leave with a slice of cake or something.]

[deadly_legacy]

Penny! I'm so glad you made it. [Just a very, very happy birthday girl here.]

[Reid shows up a little late with a wrapped gift in hand. It's obvious the gift is a book. It's Ursula K. Gunn's Empty Planet. He puts it with the other gifts and wanders around the party with his hands tucked in the pockets of his sweater.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Reid, you made it!!

[deadly_legacy]

Reid, hello! [She spots him and moves in immediately. She might even kiss his cheek unless he awkwards out of it. She's just in a very good mood.] I'm so glad you made it.

[ Toph promised to come. Now, whether people will recognize her is a good question, but it's hard to miss the short dark-haired girl spending most of her time near the refreshments. She's happy to talk to whomever, but she won't know who you are until you speak... so keep that in mind.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[Hanna doesn't seem to realize that Toph is blind, so he waves at her as he approaches. Now, he doesn't recognize her, but he's sure he knows her.]

Hi!

[deadly_legacy]

[She isn't certain since she never saw her on video or in public, but there is something about this girl that makes her suspect who it is. Still, she doesn't venture the guess. She just greets her warmly.] Hello.

[Yuri's actually pretty retarded with dates, so he doesn't expect a party. Especially for Euphie. But hey- he's in Xanadu everyday. While he's here, he may as well celebrate. And give her his present later.

-He can set aside what happened a few days ago for now. It's her special day.

He looks around for her.]

[deadly_legacy]

[She is playing with her new puppy, Tumbles, when she catches sight of Yuri. She's... She's happy to see him, but she's nervous too. They haven't talked since the curse.

After a moment she waves to him, offering a smile.]

I AM BREAKING MY HIATUS AND NINJATAGGING - be proud.

[Zuko arrives roughly thirty minutes after Hanna's all finished setting up. He doesn't have anything for Euphie except himself. But even he thinks that's not enough.

Spotting Hanna lounging, he heads in his direction, eying the box on his lap.]

...Not bad.

I AM SO FULL OF PROUD!

[deadly_legacy]

[Intercepted! Or caught later. Either way.] Zuko! You made it. [Beams at the boy. Visitors are a happy thing. They get hugs too. Firebending might stop it if you really want to.]

I AM SO PROUD ZUZU!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks, Zuko!

Have some cake, or something!!

[ When Flynn arrives, he's carrying a small box. He looks every bit as if he'd prepared for this occasion, but in truth, he'd been going around the city looking for a proper gift just an hour so before.

He hopes Euphemia doesn't notice though. At least, so that he could properly apologize for not having been sufficiently prepared... ]

[deadly_legacy]

Flynn! [Oh, yes, you get a hug. And there is a part of her wondering if he knows what happened with Yuri, but why would he know that? Yuri wouldn't just say so, would he? Or maybe he would. And she needs to stop thinking about that!] Thank you for coming.

[Raiden's never been good with get-togethers. He feels really awkward as he shuffles away to put Euphie's present on the table. Just as he and Hanna discussed, inside the package is a puppy starter kit, complete with a bed, toys, a leash, and a food bowl.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

You made it! Awesome!!

[Hanna grins and waves at Raiden.]

[deadly_legacy]

Hello, Raiden. Thank you for coming. [She takes his hand rather than giving a full out hug. Maybe a little because of how she acted last time she saw him.]

[willofthewinds.livejournal.com]

[Have you seen your favorite co-worker in a nice green sundress? If you haven't, well, look no further! Because here she is with a present in hand. The present's actually a nice pink sundress she made herself. Fuu's not part of the Sewing Club for nothing!]

Euphie-san?

[deadly_legacy]

[Her favorite co-worker looks adorable!] Fuu, welcome! [Oh, it's hugging time. So much happy hugging today~]

[Dean shows up a little late but he wouldn't miss Euphie's party for the world. He also has no idea what you buy a girl for her birthday. He bought shampoo. That smells like strawberries. He puts the paper bag of shampoo on the gift table, grabs some cake and starts wandering around.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[Hanna waves at Dean, before pointing to the food, as if to say 'EAT THIS.']
