RAT PARTY LOG: Day 105

Who: Everyone and anyone.
What: A party.
Where The menagerie.
When: Day 105


It’s a rat’s birthday party, and if you’re in the labor crew attendance is mandatory. After watching his department's sense of team spirit drop to dangerous levels Psi has decided to try and force people to have a little fun. Of course, the recent lack of camaraderie among the Labor Department isn’t the sole reason for the party; as Ginko had mentioned, anyone who decides to take a look at Rex the rat king will find a seventh head apparently in the process of emerging from around his shoulder. It’s not quite fully formed yet, essentially just a nose and mouth poking through the fur, but it’s very definitely there.


I. GINKO AND REX
A table has been set up near Rex’s enclosure with a number of rat king-safe treats laid out on it, so as to reduce the risk of visitors giving him something he shouldn’t eat. All the same, Ginko will be spending most of his time near Rex, and keeping an eye on things - just in case he has to, you know, discourage people from putting their fingers too close to the new mouth, or something like that. Fingers are not considered rat king-safe treats.

II. TWISTER AND OTHER FUN GAMES
Psi is here as well obviously, and he does have twister. He won’t actually make you play, but he will call you a wuss if you refuse to join in. Twister isn’t the only game they have available though, as later on Psi will also be forcing allowing people to play “Who Am I?” In this game the name of another person at the carnival is placed on a player’s back. Players then have to guess whose name is on their back by asking questions yes or no questions about that person to other people at the party. (Feel free to pick whatever name you want for your character.) Although Labor Department members have to play, others are welcome to join too.

III. FOOD
But what would a party be without the free food? There’s lots of good stuff. BBQ Ribs, Chicken Adobo, Pork Mango Habanero and for dessert there’s cupcakes in the chocolate and lemon flavored variety. Lar’s made it all so feel free to be shocked about that.

((OOC: As this is a party log feel free to make your own top-levels))

Don't say such scary things...

"What do people do for birthdays where you're from?" he asks offhandedly, finally leaving the side of the pen to come sit near Ginko. At least it's shady over here.
dontpokethat: and i never will (never thought about it like that before)

"Ah... well. Nothing, so far as I know." He gives a small shrug. "Just isn't treated the same there as it is in a lot of places, it seems."
puddingemote: (with me)

"Really? That's kinda lame..." Tamaki purses his lips. "It's nice to be celebrated. Or to celebrate other people. Even if it's just a birthday date, or something."
dontpokethat: not even gravity or nasa (and no one can stop me)

[personal profile] dontpokethat 2017-08-23 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
"I guess so. But people do that other times where I'm from, anyway. I've heard New Years' celebrations can be kind of like that - celebrating everyone getting older, and all that."

Not that he's actually been to a lot of them, himself, what with being out in the wilderness most of the time.
puddingemote: (you're my)

[personal profile] puddingemote 2017-08-27 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
He perks up a little at that.

"New Year's is like that where I'm from. We just celebrate everyone's birthdays too."

He's pretty surprised to hear about something so specific that their worlds have in common, actually. With all the talk of mushi, he just sort of assumed that Ginko's world is completely different from his own.
dontpokethat: (its all fun and games)

[personal profile] dontpokethat 2017-08-29 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Really? Huh... almost seems redundant." Almost. There are some differences between the New Years' festivals he remembers and what he's learned about birthday parties in his time here.

"But, I guess it must be nice to have twice as many celebrations like that, huh?"
puddingemote: (i been sleepin in my bed)

[personal profile] puddingemote 2017-09-04 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
It's not redundant, but Tamaki doesn't argue the point too hard. Instead he just nods in agreement.

"Yeah. Everyone gets to feel special at some point." And that's a really good thing.
dontpokethat: and start making the mistakes of the future (time to forget the mistakes of the past)

[personal profile] dontpokethat 2017-09-04 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Ginko hesitates - just for a moment, hardly longer than any of his usual thoughtful pauses. Of course, theoretically, there shouldn't be a lot to think about here.

"...Yeah. Sounds like a pretty nice setup."
puddingemote: (i been sleepin in my bed)

[personal profile] puddingemote 2017-09-10 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Tamaki notices that hesitation, though it's not enough to concern him. Maybe it should be, but right now, Tamaki isn't thinking that anyone might have a problem with what he's describing. It's all fun, right?

"Mm. I'm excited for when I get to have mine. But, it won't be until I go home."

It's still a ways away.
dontpokethat: (its all fun and games)

[personal profile] dontpokethat 2017-09-21 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Ginko is sure it is, Tamaki - and the last thing he wants is for anyone to feel bad for celebrating when they can.

"Yeah? How old are you going to be." He grins and gestures toward Rex. "Older than this guy, I'm guessing."
puddingemote: (i don't know where i went wrong)

[personal profile] puddingemote 2017-09-26 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm way older than six!" Come on Ginko, give him some credit. "I'm gonna be eighteen."

Old enough to be considered more or less an adult. Old enough to finally age out of the foster care system. It's strange to think about.
dontpokethat: this is what he does for fun (aw yis plants in bottles)

[personal profile] dontpokethat 2017-10-08 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, Tamaki, he figured it would be closer to that. "Well, in that case, happy birthday in advance."
