THEY SAY IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Who: Everyone in Prospero!
What: Issei's birthday party
When: The evening of Saturday, March 3rd
Where: The entire karaoke parlor.  Sakurako rented the whole thing out for everybody.
Warnings: Probably none, but who the hell knows!

[Well, it's Saturday night, and as promised, Sakurako has spent the entire week calling and texting every citizen of Prospero she could get a hold of in preparation for Issei's 18th birthday party.  The entire karaoke parlor is rented out, including the larger rooms.  Drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic are included, and everyone is free to mingle as they wish.]

KARAOKE

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[All of the rooms are open, and people are free to come and go as they please. The karaoke parlor has an impressive array of songs from both America and Japan, including most of the popular hits of the past 50 years. Refreshments are regularly restocked every half hour or so.]

[Sakurako herself spends almost the entire night in one of the karaoke rooms, waiting her turn but never leaving the rotation of people waiting to sing songs. Girl lives for nights like this, and she's belting out mostly j-pop hits all night long, but also periodically sings stuff that would be on the American top 10 lists along with some things she's heard on classic rock radio stations here and there in town.]

[Yo. Madoka's here to support her friend. Yep.

...Okay and maybe sing a song or two if she can, but only if there's not a lot of folks around when she gets the chance.]

[technologic]

[While there was some hesitancy about coming to a party for someone she didn't know, she decided hey, why not. So after leaving her gift on the table (a cookie cake she made), she decided to look at the karaoke.

She tended to shy away from singing when others could hear, but this was all for fun, right? So, she'll be up singing a few times, most of them songs she heard off the radio, and she's actually pretty good.]

[Sakurako claps enthusiastically at the conclusion of one of the songs.]

That was great!

Re: KARAOKE

[Well, karaoke is one excuse to step out from the shadows. Minato could sing for hours if he wanted. Given his reclusive nature, it's kind of strange for him to sound so...passionate.]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[Clapping!]

GENERAL SOCIALIZING

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[Inevitably, there'll be some rooms where no one is singing anything, and that's fine too! Come in here to just sit down and have a nice chat with your fellow Prospero kidnappees.]

[unknownrival]

[Help, there's a big party and it's dedicated to me.

Issei looks a bit overwhelmed. Bother?]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Hi, Issei! Happy birthday! Everything turned out really great, don't you think?

[fractured_white]

*Fun fact, Issei: Albedo is really good at moving quietly even with his cape. So, do you notice him before he puts his hand on your shoulder or not?*

I suppose this is the point where I wish you a happy birthday, is it?

[babel_hacker]

Hey, happy birthday!

[scorpiospider]

[Have a troll girl leaning on you] So, this is your nine sweeps party?

[croibhristeoir]

Are you alright, brother?

[kugimin]

[Friend of a friend shows up! Better introduce herself since she's here!]

So this party is for you, right?

Happy Birthday!

[strawberrypunch]

Happy birthday.

[crownedexorcist]

[Of course, Allen would be there. It's Issei's birthday and he's a friend.]

Happy birthday, Issei.

BIRTHDAY PRESENTS

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[There's also a table near one of the rooms where everyone can set down their gifts, or give them to Issei directly. Because you totally brought a gift, right? Of course you did.]

[assaultedramen]

[Of course she bought a present! Miki is placing down a vaguely bowl shaped mass of newspaper and tape down on the table.]

[genius_idiot]

[So, Kaiji is here, dropping off a bottle of sake he managed to find at the liquor store.

[kugimin]

[Oh crap, gifts... All she got was a birthday card! At least she spelled Issei's name right. Maybe.

Well, she'll just drop the card off here. No one will have to know.

Just a quick look around to make sure no one is watching...]

[strawberrypunch]

[From Tatsuma comes a box! It is wrapped and tied off with a ribbon because shopkeepers can be very nice and helpful people if you ask.

One can only guess what is inside.

...No, seriously.]

[inconversable]

['Sup.

Hakuno doesn't do very well with parties or karaoke, so she'll just drop off this elaborate fruit tart she made.

Okay done. She'll turn around to quietly leave now----]

[doudemoe]

[Well, Minato's not much of a party person. But since it was Shiina who asked, he can't exactly pass up. He owes her after what happened during Valentine's.

Mostly he's just hanging around by himself, occasionally munching on snacks. Social butterfly, he is not.]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Minato! Hey!
