kaworu’s birthday party | there are strong wings
Who: Kaworu Nagisa and CR (plus a handful of interlopers)
What: Birthday beach bash
When: September 18th
Where: The Farther Shores
Content warnings: Underage drinking
The party thrown for Kaworu Nagisa in late September is a modest affair by the standard of at least one of its planners, although the second pair of hands involved has had cause to disagree.
A section of the beach near a cluster of natural hot springs up in the black rocks of the Farther Shores has been cleaned of any remaining August debris, set up with a handful of tents, and laid with tables. These amenities cluster around a piled high bonfire, which will be lit as the sun begins to set and kept burning throughout the night’s festivities, just like the sea-scented incense discreetly placed all around the perimeter. A speaker set up has been graciously provided by one mostly mechanical friend, who also has generously and suspiciously curated an angel-themed playlist.
The dining tables are full of various foods meant to be skewered on sticks, catering to a wide variety of tastes and needs, from mushrooms to parboiled root vegetables to bits of game or crab meat and more. A selection of sauces and rubs adds to the customization possibilities, alongside covered baskets of warm rice and flatbreads to complement the skewers. Another table is laden with cakes, pastries, and fruits in another array of flavors, and finally, a modest selection of juice, beer and wine is on offer - anything stronger must be brought by party guests.
Nearby these, in a conspicuously well-lit and well-traveled area, is the gift table, where a large Sleeper cocoon stands guard (with occasional gurgles and wiping about of curious tentacles) under a sign reading THEFT IS A CRIME. Another, smaller sign on the table itself invites Gifts for Kaworu-kun to be piled around it.
Lunar Orbs on tall torch stands mark the path to and from the hot springs and the main body of the party on the beach. The hot springs are well-lit even in the dark, but the air is crisp with the chill of autumn, especially as night falls properly. A few smaller tents allow for people to change and store their clothing before they sink into the hot mineral water bubbling up from deep below the surface.
If you have gotten tired of the festivities, the tents on the main beach are all open for people to rest and relax in, shielded away from the bustle of the party at large. Besides one tent marked Guest of Honor, the rest are all stocked with water, comfortable cushions, and warm blankets, lit by softer glowing Lunar Orbs than the ones outside, which come with a cover to conceal their light if desired.
If instead you venture away from the party on either side, keep your eyes peeled for large, venomous crabs who are not dancing to the playlist, but rather clicking their claws for blood. Better to stick to dipping your toes in the water, where a distinctly alive marine lizard swims purposefully in the shallows, occasionally lifting his head to inspect passersby with a sensitive, yet knowing expression. Shinji-kun is a thoughtful (and handsome) lizard.
The atmosphere is light and warm, the weather pleasant, and all that’s asked of guests is to eat well, enjoy themselves, and celebrate Kaworu Nagisa’s only slightly belated birthday.

"I will send your lady in your direction if I chance across her," he says, when that production is over, fully intending to seek her out for Anna's sake, "I shall endeavor to mingle as I can between here and the juice bowl...A."
With a faintly roguish twinkle, he waves his farewells to her and to Gideon, and then, upon further consideration, offers them both a 'thumbs up' before he heads out to the party at large to leave them to their companionship.
