HAPPY BDAY FUCK JOE BIDEN

BIRTHDAY BAR NITE

Wednesday night brings the Lobby a large influx of celebrants. It's Reggie and Beck's birthday! This is just a normal night at the bar functionally; unless otherwise noted, all characters will have to pay for their own drinks, although Ares will bully everyone to purchase them for the birthday kids. He made a very simple cake with a somewhat expired box mix, and didn't kill anyone while doing it, but there's not really enough for everyone. Sorry! At a certain point there are fireworks! This is the most basic ic/ooc in the whole world but have fun.

Having a good one tonight. It's her BIRTHDAY, nobody's DYING — in fact, no one's EVER died except for that feral deer. Reggie gets disastrously drunk and actually seems like she's enjoying herself and the presence of other people. Get ready for chest bumps and arm punches and so many high fives.

court is so sad she can't properly enjoy chest bumps rn, but is here for like 85 million high fives because happy fucking birthday, what do you want to drink???

"Whiskey strong enough to double as paint thinner." The answer is sandwiched between two high fives.

arlo's trying to get in the swing of ?living? after his Big Feelings Week and success rates are TBD but he ~~drew a little F on duke's gift to reggie~~ has access to alcohol and the willingness to try! rowdy redneck reporting for duty

Mara is still high out of her mind on painkillers, so she's in a great mood. Instead of her usual crazy party outfits, she's just wearing a rust orange fleece pullover and black yoga pants.

Beck is like family to her, and she is suitably embarrassing as she constantly turns attention back to him. She's got her camera and takes a lot of pictures not just of Beck but also of Reggie (covertly, if need be).

Let's do Pictures here instead of under OOC! Thank you 🥳

Back at full power! Stronger than ever! Reggie and Beck are both baseball captains so of course they are now also Dutch's good friends. Despite all her bluster about being recovered, she's a little lower-energy than she usually is. She's in her usual sort of punky black and leather wardrobe and has ✨fresh eyeliner✨ on.

He is sort of at the end of his rope emotionally after a long day of trudging through the woods looking for a deer feral. At least the problem is solved now, but if this were anyone's birthday party besides Reggie's, Jem would probably have just gone home for the night. He sticks it out for awhile, and has exactly one (1) drink which does nothing to help his sulky attitude.

"I need to report a fire hazard," Beau declares, in lieu of saying hello. These are the first words she's spoken directly to Jem since Sunday, despite being in Prescott every day for responder training. It wasn't deliberate. Not at first. But bad enough that people are already gossiping about one Betancourt twin.

Jem has been deeply lost in thought since he arrived at this party, but not so much so that he isn't vaguely aware of what Beau is up to. He draws a deep breath as he shakes off his reverie, and then tilts his head as he looks her over.

"Is it you?" he asks.

"You know, a gentleman would let me do my punchline." Despite her annoyed tone, Beau is smiling as she leans against the bar, watching him. She's been watching for a few minutes now, and suspects he hasn't noticed at all. "Or at least take care of these delinquents and their fireworks."

Jem's brow creases as he offers her a skeptical smile, amused despite himself. "What do you want me to do about it exactly?"

"Come outside. Stop brooding." She takes a couple steps back towards the exit, and gives Jem an obvious once-over. "Actually... second part is optional."

He laughs at this, although it's not like he can particularly call her out for being shameless. Still, it visibly lifts his mood.

"Yeah, alright," he says, grabbing his hat off the bar and setting it on his head as he gets up to follow her.

Roswell always feels moderately unwelcome at Whitney Field Depot, but he did turn up for this party with the intention of being sociable. Results vary from interaction to interaction.

LOLA LIVES HERE! She rocked up fitted out in a white sweater with a sparkly unicorn in 3D puff vinyl across the chest. She thinks of Beck as her large adult baby boy and has probably called him this while high at least once—she's here to show him BIRTHDAY SUPPORT! And Reggie too, hello Reggie!

Edgar feels (and looks!) a lot better since the last birthday party, not least because he's back in home territory, getting to sleep in his own car. Alright, that's a downgrade from being in a hospital bed, but the hustle and bustle of Whitney Field Depot is good for the spirit! Edgar is fresh-faced and sporting a new/old monogrammed fleece jacket, and toasts both Beck and Reggie with free drinks.

Nat is less on bar duty tonight (though helping when needed), so she is imbibing a little more than usual and here to celebrate her outpost buddy Beck as well as Reggie. She's been trying to wingman Terry the bartender so we'll see how the night goes.

Beck's had a strange, tiring, isolated time in the wake of the horde, as much as he wouldn't like to admit it. Used as he is to existence at Mazzara Farm, where there's always something to do and not as many people as there should be to do it, and usually he enjoys that, the other thing he is equally loathe to admit is that he kind of hasn't enjoyed it lately.

So the environment here is overwhelming. The gifts -- from people he likes and people he doesn't know -- are overwhelming. He almost feels alive. He puts on Lola's star-shaped glasses and swans about the place.
