I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd, you're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud

Characters: All staff and students at Garden.
Location: Balamb Town, Feb. 5th all day
Rating: PG to PG-13
Open/Closed/Finished: Open, ongoing
Summary: Bulla's BBS post invited everyone to her birthday party on Feb.5th. It is now party time



It was unfortunate that her birthday party clashed with the festival, but it seemed like there was a pretty good turnout so far. There were cadets from her classes, cadets and staff she had seen around in the hallways, and a few people she had never met before. Bulla had taken care to make sure there were things to do. On one end of the place she'd made reservations at, there was karaoke. In another corner, drinks and food could be purchased. In a third, people were playing games, and the fourth area was a sectioned off area for quieter conversation.

As for Bulla herself, she was going around and mingling with everyone. It was important to be a gracious hostess, after all, so she was making the effort to ensure that everyone had a good time, and if that wasn't possible, that their experience wasn't a miserable one.

Don't go stealing other people's lines, eh.

Besides, that's why I respected Pops so much. He wasn't just strong, he was wise and brilliant.

I've stolen nothing.

Well, it's rare to get someone powerful who does use their brain, eh -- []
fierybluebird: (My Pops is bigger than yours)

[Doesn't even notice.]

He'd have to. Only way to stay alive in our world, eh. Especially the only way to keep the rest of us safe with how much everyone wanted to assassinate him.

I guess. Wish I could've met him, even if just to see if he lives up to the expectations you've handed me.

[Hands him another one and drinks a rum himself.]

Yeah.

Well...

Ace was here... for a bit. [Is that almost a tremble in his unshakable calm.] The only thing left needed is for Thatch to show up. [Oh yeah, that's what Marco looks shook up. It kind of looks the same really.]

Mighty was here for a bit.

That drink had alcohol in it, didn't it?

[]

Ah well. Only two months until it'd be legal to drink in New Tek anyway, so who cares?

[Grins.]

Pirate. In my world, minors drink if they want to. There's not exactly laws against it. I keep forgetting that's not true for everyone else here. So bizarre. It'd be like banning cigarettes. Sure they're not good for you, but neither is coffee if you overdo it.

I think the general idea is that younger bodies are more... susceptible to the damage. That, and that they're too young to really take full responsibility for their actions.

[]

At least I don't have to take responsibility right now. I'll just blame you and your underhanded tactics. Fair, right?
fierybluebird: (purple shirt kick)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-02-10 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Laughs.] Okay, but I think it's only fair to remind you that as a pirate, I only take responsibility for whatever I feel like.

[identity profile] turnip-rage.livejournal.com 2011-02-10 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Doesn't matter. I'll dump it on you anyway.

[identity profile] turnip-rage.livejournal.com 2011-02-11 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you will. I get the impression you'd survive anything.

So, you gonna get back to the whole "enjoying the party" thing, or what?
fierybluebird: (Heart)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-02-11 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
How flattering~ [Though there's a bit of a wry not in there. Sometimes being the only one to survive sucks.]

I thought I already was, eh?
fierybluebird: [Marco arching an eyebrow leaning on an arm with blue background] (Is that so?)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-02-11 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I know, shocking isn't it? [So very deadpan.]

[identity profile] turnip-rage.livejournal.com 2011-02-11 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
A bit. I'm not exactly "life of the party."
fierybluebird: (Pops and Ace)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-02-11 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Laughs.] I'm only more than average because I'm a pirate. Most of the times Pops and the others were partying I was the one staying sober enough to kick their asses if they did something that was going to call marine attention, eh.

Someone has to be the responsible one. Let me decide what I find fun.

[identity profile] turnip-rage.livejournal.com 2011-02-11 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, right. If you insist, but I'll probably just bore you to death right now.
fierybluebird: (Shanks is annoying)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-02-11 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
People rarely bore me, eh.

Even Shanks. Although to be fair, that's probably more like aggravation and confusion.

Sit through one of Vector's lectures, and we can soon fix that...

[]

Please yourself. At least it saves me the pain of listening to you sing karaoke.
fierybluebird: (cool breeze)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-02-11 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Oi, why does everyone say that? I am a great singer.

[identity profile] turnip-rage.livejournal.com 2011-02-11 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never met anyone who can sing well on karaoke.
fierybluebird: (Ace is my perch)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-02-11 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Ace isn't bad. [Or he could be but Marco has "nakama" + drunk goggles.]
