[Open] Let's go (back) to the beach!

[tantailizing]

🧙 WHO: Everyone invited by this network post
⚔️️ WHAT: Throwing Colette a birthday party!
🕒 WHEN: June 19th
🗺️ WHERE: Beach near Camelot City
⚠️ WARNINGS: It's Colette's Birthday. No getting out of hand, but warnings will be added if they must.

Sunny, clear, bright with calm, but visible waves, all those perfect conditions for a day at the beach.

... Really, he'd been checking to make sure. Meanwhile, he had to trust nothing would happen since Camelot was still right there. Just one day, one day of things staying normal with no interruptions was all he was asking.

Anyway, rental grill and table? Check.

Beach umbrellas? Check.

Extra towels? Check.

Beach balls, floating rings, basically things that said 'beach fun'? Check, check, aannd check!

While Zidane had the bowls, water, and toys for the dogs, Eustace was supplying what they ate (which was for the best), and he's making sure to keep them away from the disposable plates and cold foods so no mistakes were made. If anyone wanted alcohol? Well, that wasn't available - Zidane's only packed water, juice, and some assorted carbonated beverages for those that wanted it. BYOB if one really needs it - heck, he has some pizza on order later for people who'd rather that than the fruits, vegetables, or meat he's cooking up.

All-in-all, should be enough for people to chill out, have fun, and save room for the ice cream cake once it was time to sing 'Happy Birthday'!

[OOC: Dog beach birthday party fun! Heads up, I'll try tagging everyone that top-levels with Zidane since he's hosting so if you don't want a tag, just tell me. Also, have any specific questions? Also hit me up at demidemonLove. Just final note: blue decorations, and plants present courtesy of Aerith!]

That's right, you've got it, Colette-san!

[While Izuku does panic once or twice when she trips or almost faceplants right into the sand. She isn't the most elegant person in the world. But she does seem to do her best and that's good and okay! And that's fair considering everything!

He tucks the ball under his arm and wipes his brow with the other one.]

I wouldn't mind some sort of team game, sometime...! I wonder if anyone else would be interested?

[apshot]

[ Yeah no. He doesn't get it Zidane. Bakugou is a pure soul! ]

Speaking of that... Why are you doing this shit?

[tantailizing]

[Oh sweet summer child...]

Why not? Colette's never had a proper birthday party. Course, that's all I'll say about it. You'll have to ask her why.

[apshot]

[ There. Now he can actually preen because it's good to go. Of course it is. Bakugou wouldn't actually give anyone something that was less than perfect. ]

Good. Making sweet shit is annoying as hell. So you better make sure you eat all of it.

[worldsokayestdad]

I suppose it wouldn't hurt.

[Now, will he actually do it? Eeeeeh maybe, once Colette has her cafe up and running.]

How is that coming along, by the way?

[angelolatry]

I get the basic idea at least. In theory it's simple enough, to hit the ball back to you over the net.

[It's just with more people, that means more risk of her bumping into them. She wouldn't say no though. If others want to join in. But otherwise she's content enough like this in learning with Izuku at least, so she knows for next time they do something like this. She might at least ask if any others nearby wanted to join them or not.]

[angelolatry]

Hm. What do you like then? So I can make you something when it's your birthday!

[She prefers that sweet taste in using fruits with most all her dishes but that doesn't mean she is incapable of following a recipe without. She could at least try. If he went to all this effort for her, as she asks in between mouthfuls.]

[angelolatry]

Ah, I'm getting there. It's a lot though. To figure sorting out that I hadn't considered. So. It's taking a little.

[Figuring the right place, who else she might need to help out, what rules and such there were around running a business and the like. So Colette was learning a lot! She found there's a lot to this, so she is taking her time in figuring it all out to make sure she finds the right spot, knows everything she needs to beforehand. Hopefully, anyway.]

[apshot]

What if she already sort of mentioned why? That part, I get. Why you?

[ Why Zidane? Doesn't she have people that would do this for her? ]

[tantailizing]

Oh right, she mentioned that with Kratos and all...

[He nods, but then shrugs.]

Not sure what you mean. I offered to do it so I did it. Would you have done it?

[apshot]

Tch. You'll be waiting for a while if you wanna do something like that.

[ His birthday has come and gone! Two months ago! ]

[apshot]

[ Bakugou has to give that some thought. He's... Not that decent of a person, honestly. The blonde will save people sure, but that's not intimate. Not personal. ]

Probably not. Not the social sort of guy.

[tantailizing]

[He nods.]

And nothing's wrong with that. I threw the party mainly because I wanted Colette to have that experience. You probably could've just saw her anywhere and given her a gift and that would've been fine, too.

[worldsokayestdad]

That's understandable, starting a business is no small task. It's best to take your time and learn as much as you can before jumping into it.

[angelolatry]

Ah! I missed it? Or was it back home just before you got here or something? I should make a note of everyone's birthdays.....

I'm not as good at baking as Genis with his cake and cookies, but I can try!

[It's a good point though. She's not sure if Kratos and Emil, or more, Ratatosk really celebrate theirs if they even remember given how old they were by this stage. But her other friends here, at least. She could check with them to see. When their birthday was so she could make a list and prepare them a little something for the day.]

[angelolatry]

Right! I want this to go well. To do it right. As best I can for this being my first time.

[It might not entirely go smoothly. But she can try be as prepared as possible at least. To do what she can in sorting everything she can think of in advance and such at least. She wants to try. To do her best with it. She throws the ball for the dogs again, giggling as she watches them chase after it.]

[apshot]

Don't get me wrong. Imma cut out soon. Showing my face is something small.

[ He can be supportive, in other words. But he isn't someone that's going to overexert what he's socially capable of. ]

[tantailizing]

Don't worry about it! Thanks for coming by as long as you did.

wrapping! 🎀

[fullgauntlet]

[That's right- until next time! Hopefully, they are able to get some friends to join in.

The rest of the party is pleasant and Izuku has a good time. Happy that Colette is able to enjoy this sort of thing without worry. He'll have to give kudos to Zidane later for setting it all up.]

[apshot]

It already came and went here. And I ain't into shit like this.

[ So don't think about throwing a party or anything like that Colette. Bakugou would prefer to just be by himself or something like that. ]

My birthday isn't a big deal to me.

[ Too much fussing. But he isn't going to begrudge Colette for doing all this. ]

[apshot]

[ He gives a nod. ]

Just gonna make sure Blondie gets her gift.

[tantailizing]

No problem there. If the birthday girl missed a gift, that would be tragic.

[Okay, not really, but dramatics, okay?]

[angelolatry]

Aw. I won't arrange anything like this but. I can at least bring you a little something when yours comes around again?

[She doesn't want to push, to make him uncomfortable or anything. But, well. He went to this effort for her. She just wants to do the same back. Even if not with a party like this necessarily. But just so she could get him something nice or make him a treat he might like.]

[worldsokayestdad]

Of course. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help--

[He's trying to be all encouraging and shit, but he's interrupted by the dog on his lap deciding that it wants to move around and start licking his face. Groooooss, dog spit. Why can't this dog just chase the ball like the other dogs??]

[angelolatry]

I will. Emil said he was happy to help me with the baking! Trying out some recipes together for things customers might like. And the dogs! Making food for them too.

[She glances over when Kratos seems to be interrupted though, and giggles at the sight of the dog licking his face. It's just not often she sees Kratos like this when he's usually so serious and all. So Colette can't help but to savor it and find it a little amusing.]
