birthday # 1 of 10 missed on eos...
♥ Who: Noctis, Pyra, and… you?
♥ Where: Noctis, Pyra, & Prompto's house
♥ When: August 30
♥ What: A birthday shindig!
♥ Rating: I assume PGish
As someone not especially inclined to throwing big parties for himself, Noctis would have been satisfied by just a chill hang-out with his family at most. Pyra seems to have other ideas about what counts as an appropriate level of celebration, so he's more or less given her free reign to plan out the evening dinner and get-together. The result is very… Pyra.
An invitation to join them would have been sent out or given via conversation to:
-Noctis' friends and family, of course
-anyone in Noctis' communicator contacts
-friends of friends
-....people Pyra just felt like inviting
Really, it's a good thing that the house is quite large, because it's more or less a free for all.
The Decor
Not too fancy, as the house has a mostly-muted decorative style, but there are splashes of colour scattered about. Sylleblossoms in blue, red, and white pepper the house in vases, streamers along the doorway, even some balloons out front. It's meant to be colourful and fun without being too much work, which is Noct's ideal gathering.
The Food
The general theme of the party's cuisine was for the most part "healthy, but sweet". Catered by Affurgato, so of course it's all fresh and delicious! There is lots of meat (adamantoise/turtle and fried tuna slabs especially, among options from the cafe) and lots of dessert snacks and finger food. There's even homemade pocky sticks, of various flavours. Vegetables are available, but mostly in separate dishes or things like fresh fries/mashed potatoes with loads of butter. What kind of monster would make the birthday boy eat vegetables!? (you are welcome to try) Any standard replicator drinks can be provided, and there's also some wine for the adults.
There is also a handmade cake not from the cafe, but from Pyra, with the motif of a carbuncle on the top.
The Atmosphere
1) Dress code is comfy/casual! Dress however you please.
2) People are welcome to bring pets with them. In fact, people are encouraged to bring pets, on the condition that Noctis gets to see and/or pet them!! (please shower him in cute things.) There's space in the yard for them to romp around if they need more room than the house can offer, provided they don't trample the garden.
3) In the main area there's a music playlist playing video game tunes from Noct's home, via his Eos smartphone.
4) As party games, people are encouraged to play Pin The Cat Ears on Noctis! ...You would think this would come with a cutout of him, but since paper is hard to come by in town, you should instead just literally put cat ears on Noctis. Bonus points if you can keep them on him long enough for selfie proof. Another option is to do your very best Noctis impression. What do you get for "winning"? Well, that's up to Pyra. Maybe you'll win some laughter, at least…
Special note! At some point during the party, Noctis will be mentioning that surprise! This little celebration is also meant to be shared with Pyra, as they totally missed her birthday. So wish her a happy belated as well :)

[How many did she need, anyway?]
Happy late, late birthday, by the way?
no subject
I suppose you're right... About the wishes. Although isn't there a rule-- you have to do them on your actual birthday?
no subject
[Because there's no way the date on his adoption papers is correct.]
Not everyone knows when they were born. S-some people aren't born at all... But they should still get birthdays, and candles. Right?
no subject
Then, recalling a conversation she had with Besithia... what Prompto says makes absolutely sense, and she realizes the insensitivity of her own comment. Stepping towards him, she'll bring him into a hug if he's willing. ] No... No, you're right. Of course they should.
And they should get all the wishes, too.
[ She can relate, in some respects. She wasn't born in the traditional sense, although she does adopt the word for its poetic meaning-- and to appear more human (when she's not). ]
no subject
But not now, not today. Today is supposed to be happy, and he's not going to be the one that drags that down.
He gives her arm a light tap as he draws away, smile back where it belongs.]
Right! So! How many candles are we going to shove on this cake?
no subject
However, the question calling back to her earlier comment causes her to stammer. ]
E--erm....
Well, ah, how old do you think I am?
no subject
[He makes an X with his arms.]
Never guess a lady's age. Uuuuuummmm.... How about we just make a cute design with them, if you aren't sure?
no subject
A design...
Oh, but it can't be anything too elaborate, can it? [ Because they are candles. ] Perhaps more flowers? Or....---ah. A nopon!
no subject
His head goes sideways.] Nopon?
no subject
And good at all things engineering.
