Who: Tinya Wazzo and you, whether the character knows Tinya or not
What: Celebrating Tinya's nineteenth birthday!
When: April 21st
Where: The Raccoon Room

Content Warnings: underage drinking, possible discussion of underage sex/marriage/motherhood, possible discussion of an emotionally abusive mother



The Raccoon Room is beautiful as always, left mostly alone except for vases of blue roses sat on tables apart from the dance floor. Blue had always been her favorite color, blue to match her eyes, and she'd rather not to into details of how exactly she managed to acquire so many within such a short period of time. But what she didn't say was that there was a florist who needed a Night Walker to help them cope with the lack of sun and she was the one who responded.

The birthday girl herself looks lovely in a blue strapless dress with no shoes or stockings, the blue in the dress setting off the blue in her eyes, the jet-black of her hair, and the faint blue tint to her skin.

There's a large board with markers where people can write their messages to the birthday girl, ranging from well-wishes to encouragement to "who the Void are you?" Her feelings wouldn't be hurt at the latter, she's well-aware of the fact that she's new in town.

The meal is made of small plates meant to be shared between two or more people and selection of sherry to choose from to go with the food. During the meal portion of the evening, female vocalist jazz plays lightly in the background, enough to be heard but not so much as it would drown out conversations between those sharing tables.

As the meal ends and the plates are cleared, a waltz music plays, ranging from classical waltzes to later songs which lent themselves to waltzing. During this portion of the evening, she's relaxed, happy, dancing with whomever approaches her without care about gender identity, not minding if she led or followed.

As the evening passed midnight, a variety of cocktails were available and the music changed again to what people from the 20th and 21st centuries would recognize as New Wave music came on and the dancing grew far more informal, Tinya in the middle of it all and singing along to the music.

And as dawn approached, one can find Tinya sitting at one of the tables, finally sampling a piece of flourless chocolate cake for the birthday girl with her feet resting on a chair in front of her. She looks happy, as happy as she could be, but there's a wistful gleam in her eyes.

Okay. This is a classy party for a teenager.

Kyle wanders in late enough that the cocktails are circulating and the music reminds him of the Cure or something. He sees Tinya and waves; Kyle is easy to spot considering that he's six foot two and has all of that red curly hair. His skinny frame is draped in some pretty loose clothes.

"Hey! Happy birthday! This is really fancy!"

Kyle's a hugger, so he returns the embrace warmly.

"Nope, just walked in. I actually meant to be here earlier, but this endless night crap is really messing with my sense of time." He's pretty sure he's been waking up at random times, and falling asleep just as haphazardly.

"This is pretty swanky. But I guess it's a landmark birthday?"

"A drink sounds genuinely very nice," he says gratefully. "Not to sound like I rely on it for dealing with stress or anything."

"Well, that's legal to drink in Canada," Kyle points out. "Whoa, you've been away from home that long?"

Kyle whistles lowly as he's steered toward the bar. He's bad with alcohol - he has no idea what to order.

"Dude, that is... SO confusing," he says. "I was in space before this, but at least that was only ONE place."

"Oh," he days, flushing pink. "Great. Yeah, uhm, a mojito please." When the drin is placed in front of him he sips it cautiously before nodding. "That's good. Sorry, I'm a hick, I am not good at this sort of thing."

He nods. "Oh, sure, it's fine. Uhm, I just woke up on this like, abandoned planet. These aliens were abducting people to try and rebuild the place. Not sure why they picked me - almost everyone else was a superhero or a space wizard or something."

"Oh, you work there? That's cool. I've really only been once and I'll be honest, I was kinda tripping on an accidental virus." A sentence that should not make any sense, but in a place like this is usually accepted.

Kyle snorts. "No, no, trust me: aliens are dumb. This was absolutely not the first time I'd been mistaken by aliens as someone more useful." It is rapidly becoming apparent that Kyle's life was not as normal as he claims. "Batman was rich, though. Being rich means you can make all sorts of super gadgets and stuff."

"Oh, cool. So's my boyfriend. He doesn't really like, hang out and offer services exactly, but he's a Paleblood and he is really, really good at getting people to chill the fuck out." A pause. "When he isn't deliberately antagonising them, I mean."

Kyle sighs. "Okay, these aliens showed up and thought I was a professor at DeVry Institute. I was nine. So. Yeah, no."

He smiles and gives her a funny look. "Well. I mean, where I'm from it's a comic book character, that's all. Batman's REAL in your time? Wild."

"I guess he is," Kyle muses. "Yeah, from what I understand a lot of them are Paleblood. But I don't see why you couldn't do just as good a job." He grins. "Yeah. He's a total asshole, but he is actually the kindest person you'll ever meet. He cares so much about people."

"A bullshit school I did not attend. MIT, huh? Yeah, I'm smart, but not a genius. My Little brother is, though."

Kyle laughs. "Oh, wow, okay. Yeah, this happens sometimes, here. Stuff from other universes bleeds into others as like, fiction or myth. Batman where I'm from has comics and movies and cartoons. Superman, too. Wonder Woman gets kinda ripped off, though."

"Yeah, exactly! It's not like your people skills just go away." Kyle laughs. "Yeah? Does your best friend frequently threaten violence on people, too?"

"That sounds really high. On behalf of humans, go Lyle." Kyle brightens. "Oh, Ike is great. My folks adopted him from Canada, so he's a little weird, but he's great. He's so smart that growing up it was kind of annoying because, you know, I'm older, I'm supposed to be the wise one or whatever. But he's such a good kid I couldn't be really mad about it. He's pretty normal aside from the genius Canadian thing - he plays video games and watches dumb shit same as anyone."

Kyle, who of COURSE knows who Batman is in popular media, laughs. "I mean, it could be totally made up? So I could tell you."

[[ OTA ]]

Sasuke has never been much for parties and this is honestly the first birthday party he's actually been invited to since he was roughly twelve years old. He had been confused by the whole idea of the fancy dresses she'd mentioned when they'd had tea, but her post in that high end outfit had made it more clear. He's always hated dressing up, and while he's sure he probably should have worn a suit or something similar, he instead had chosen to put the kimono that Madam Generosity had given him back in January to use again.

He stops to write on the board. ティニダ, おθͺ•η”Ÿζ—₯γŠγ‚γ§γ¨γ†γ”γ–γ„γΎγ™γ€‚A basic message, but it would do. Now that he knew most didn't actually know how to read his language from home unless they were from that strange country called Japan, he hopes that she can actually read it. Oh well.

He doesn't recognize the food or the drink, but he still tries a little of both, and the cocktails actually have the effect of making him a little tipsy, his cheeks flushed red from the alcohol in the process. At least it helps him to be more relaxed than he might usually have been.

[[ CLOSED TO TINYA ]]

It's not until later than he expected that he finally finds Tinya and he goes over to her, releasing the sealing jutsu on a scroll as he does so so he can offer her out the somewhat large box with her present inside with a small bow.

"You certainly like to make things extravagant, don't you?"

"How come they're so good?" he asks, ever the curious one. "Hey, a shared space, that's cute."

"It's pretty cool, although I know not every sibling is as close as we are. My best friend back home, he has an older sister who pretty much just terrorized him for our entire childhood."

Kyle sips his drink and looks a trifle smug. "Well. If you ever change your miiiiind..."

"Huh. Dude, where you're from sounds really complex." Of course it does to him - he's a small-town boy at heart. A human one.

Kyle shrugs. "Dunno. I think family is really important, but I also lucked out and have a good one. My friend's family situation has always been a little more, uhm. Strained. His dad is a bit of a character." That's putting it mildly.

He laughs. "Okay, okay, then I'll never mention it again. Put it right out of mind."

"Okay, I can understand that. Not like, personally - the Broflovskis are not some royal family - but I understand the concept from TV and books and stuff."

Kyle shrugs. "He's an alcoholic who decided to run a weed farm because that way he could be stoned all the time. He didn't really ask his wife or anything, just sort of bought a farm and moved them all out there. He has a history of doing dumb shit like that. Like I could tell you so many stories about crap he's done, it's ridiculous. My dad is usually pretty normal." Usually.

"Oh, so you know like, Superman somehow fooled everyone by wearing frigging glasses and stuff?"
