Who the P-Thieves & OPEN
When A Stop on the World Tour! April 23rd, 20XX
Where Arito, somewhere in-between "studious atmosphere" and "wild party"... (a book café?)
What It's a Special Day for your local Queen!
Warnings/Notes Please feel free to post your own top-levels! Food(?), beverages and... books? Are here for everyone to enjoy during the get-together! Just... don't touch the books unless your hands are clean. (We don't want to cause a scene. Yet.)

When you walk into the quaint looking café, maybe the scene that greets you wasn't exactly what you were expecting. Not the soft music overhead or the smell of old and new books that line the shelves... that's all pretty standard seeming. It's the makeshift banner that looks as though it was put together in a manner of minutes reading, “ℋAPPY ℬIRTHDAY ℳAKOTO—” that looks rather out of place.

There are a few tables lined with some food and drink, water, juice, tea and coffee— just the basics really. Only a little further down are some baked goods that could easily be mistaken for delicious cupcakes. Unfortunately, on such short notice and even shorter funds... the only thing Ren could come up with were some Kupo-Nut Cakes... if you're willing to try one though, you may just find yourself with a Guts +1 boost.

Well, at least the coffee seems decent.

COFFEE N' COFFEE.

( not wanting to be more of a bother to the proprieters than they already might have been, ren had insisted on getting the beverages together by himself... especially the coffee. although he didn't have the proper equipment to be able to brew the way he would have liked, he made due, picking out the beans that reminded him the most of home before he'd gotten to work.

if you're partaking in a cup of it, or even just considering... that might be why he's taking an interest in you with his brows hoisted just a little above the rims of his glasses. )

GUTS +1

( well... if no one else was going to do it, you can count on one of your local protags to make a bad decision. maybe it was to show everyone else that they just weren't poison, maybe it was curiosity. or maybe... he was just hungry?

either way, you may spot ren off to the side actually... daring to eat one of those cupcakes that may or may not be for non-moogle consumption. the jury was still out. )

DID SHE SEE IT COMINNNN'? ( closed to Makoto & Futaba )

( ren typed away on his slate, trying to decide what sounded best to get queen on the move. it had to be simple, vague enough to question, but curious enough to get her on the move as soon as possible, now that all the preperations were done. )

Makoto—
   There's some here in Arito that I think you should see.
   Meet me at [location] as soon as you can.
      — Amamiya

Heheh... ( even he had to admit he was a little excited, glancing at his co-conspirator from across the table, and adjusting his glasses. with any luck, makoto wouldn't suspect a thing. really, this would be the first time they had an opportunity to celebrate her birthday together even if... the timeline was a little messy.

regardless, it was april 23rd in vaikuntha, so by golly they would make the most of it. he motioned in silence for futaba to get down as he did the same, crouching just out of sight... she definitely, never, saw it— happening this way. )

A. The Busiest Birthday Girl

[Makoto was never one to settle down when there was work to do. The fact that it was her birthday only made her more anxious. During the course of her surprise party, one may find Makoto doing small things to tidy up. It starts with small things -- throwing away a little trash here. Tidying up the plates there. But left to her own devices she would be straightening up the banner before long.]

B. Feeling a Little Fruity and Nutty

[The coffee was divine, but the same couldn't really be said about the Kupo-Nut muffins. Wanting to make the party more open to different foods Makoto covertly gave the last of her gil to Kopuchi to buy "fruits, nuts... anything that doesn't really need prepared." In the end Kopuchi was able to bring a small gross of tangerines, dates and pistachios.]

[Makoto was grateful, but that required some more prepped. Thankfully she remembered her newly acquired ninja asterisk. When people weren't looking she would be seen chopping up the fresh fruit into small slices and placing it on anything nearby that wouldn't mind having fruit on it.]

[She's doing a pretty good job of it too, bringing in her past cooking knowledge with swift dagger swipes. Feel up to a little exhibition?]

C. What Comes Up

[No matter what happens, in the end even a busy body is going to get reigned in and enjoy her birthday party ~~kicking and screaming~~. In truth she was grateful, and anybody coming by to give her well-wishes would be greeted with a warm but quiet...]

Thank you.

[ And Futaba's here too.

Seriously though, while she's absolutely there for anybody who approaches, she isn't going to go out and mingle as much as the other two. It's not her day, after all, and she's still an introvert by nature.

That being said, there's a marked difference in her, even for those who have met her before - she's probably a lot more relaxed, a lot more pleased than she's been up until now. She finally feels like she's in her element. Cozy cafe, with coffee that Ren brewed, surrounded by people she knows and cares about, still riding the high of a successful plot.

Yeah. Today is a good day. ]

Connie shifts from foot to foot outside the entrance to the bustling coffee shop, a small box wrapped in white paper clutched in her hands. She'd debated on whether or not to actually come to the party--she barely knew Makoto, after all--but she did seem nice enough, and Connie did want to become more acquainted with the older girl. Hopefully she wouldn't make a complete fool of herself.

Taking a deep breath, Connie walks into the cafe, putting on a smile. "Hi, everybody!" she chirps. "I hope I'm not intruding."

[Okuyasu heard there was food.

And some people his age, that's also a draw. That chick from the Monk Guild - she was cool and pretty tough - he might as well stop by and yell happy birthday when he has the spare time.

Which he does right as he slams the door open.]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAKOTO!

[He doesn't have a present, he's broke hell so whatever, but he heads right to the back for those totally-not-suspicious cupcakes.]
