HAPPY BDAY FUCK JOE BIDEN

[smokeeater]

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.

In case you want to leave something for the birthday kids! Presents not required.

PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Mara

[afairtrade]

Mara got Beck a nice CD Walkman and headphones.

Reggie got a multi-neon-hued fanny pack of gas station quality (more specifically, it bears local chain Bronto Gas branding).

Re: PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Mara

[toughleaf]

"Ohhh, theeeeeeenks," Reggie says in her customer service voice.

PRESENTS, GIFTS, INSULTS: Arlo

[halligan]

arlo rolled reggie two joints and then he found out it's beck's birthday so he............ gave him what he had on him, which was a battered paperback version of flowers for algernon with four different people's names written on the inside cover, none of them arlo's.

Re: PRESENTS, GIFTS, INSULTS: Arlo

[toughleaf]

"I feel like I should be offended but I'm gonna want the fuck outta these when I'm hungthefuckover." Reggie then tries to chest bump Arlo and probably re-bruises her boobs all over again.

PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Emmett

[agriculturalist]

For Reggie: Some cheese, and some random photos from a high school sports event that she just happened to appear in (specifics are up to you, though!).

For Beck: Emmett doesn't really know him well, so he gets some bacon.

Re: PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Emmett

[toughleaf]

"YO DEADEYE!" Reggie insists on a high five so hard it makes her own hand tingle. "Shiiiiiit, we got our ASSES kicked at that game." Another high five. She won't notice if he doesn't take her up on it.

PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Niko

[trustmeimadoctor]

For Reggie: A lifelike plush goat.

For Beck: Some weird carnivorous plant seeds that he thought seemed fun.

Re: PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Niko

[toughleaf]

Reggie rubs her face on the goat's fur and declares, "His name is Harold."

PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Nat

[malting]

Nat already gave Beck her gift earlier, but for Reggie, as promised she gives her a glass of the good shit (Macallan whisky) before giving her a full flight taste test of the homebrew whisky the Distillery has going on. She gives her a bottle of whichever one she liked best at the end.

Re: PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Nat

[toughleaf]

"Careful or Ima propose to you with shit like that."

PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Emre

[load_bearing]

Reggie gets a shred of paper that says "I'll do one thing that you tell me to do."

Beck, who Emre doesn't really know at all and only last minute realized was also having a birthday, gets an empty whiskey bottle with the labels scraped off and two flowers shoved in it. Look! It's a vase! (yes, this is the last minute gift).

Re: PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Emre

[toughleaf]

Reggie cackles ominously and carefully stashes the paper in her fannypack.

PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Arwen

[veryrealnurse]

Arwen already had Beck's gift delivered to him in the morning.

Reggie gets a small canister filled with dried leaves for tea - a mix of lemon balm, feverfew, and mint. It's supposed to be good for tension and headaches, which she figures there's no way Reggie doesn't have.

Re: PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Arwen

[toughleaf]

"Oh hell yeah I'm gonna be nursing this shit tomorrow."

PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Duke

[dukeofrats]

Reggie gets just what she asked for - Providence Ridge's 4H sign, beaten into the shape of a tube with random bits of other junk attached to it. It's a little big for a trophy - about the size and general shape of a traffic cone, but the base is a sturdy sheet of metal and it should be easy enough to lash it to the front of a fire engine. Written on it is '#1 Badass Reggie'. There's also a little red F, by Arlo, on the base.

Beck gets a cute watering can that has clearly seen better days. But it's the thought that counts! He drew some flowers on it with his paint markers to give it new life.

PRESENTS, GIFTS, INSULTS: Calliope

[spoofed]

did not bring gifts.

PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Beau

[fixedup]

Beau brought an assortment of fireworks (shells, fountains, roman candles, sparklers), which Mara has graciously allowed to be set off in the picnic area. Beau attempts to arrange some of the fireworks into a big "R" and a big "B" for the birthday babes, but the results when lit are... not as clear.

PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Dutch

[deadhunter]

Cast-off nail polishes that Dutch doesn't like for both of them: a very, very dark plum purple for Reggie, holographic black for Beck.

PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Jem

[paramedicals]

He got Reggie a nice pair of wool socks (acquired from Whitney's trading storefront 15 minutes ago).

PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Edgar

[orator]

Beck gets an old cigarette tin and a number of Bic lighters which are just the what you'd find at a gas station, except that Edgar has signed each one with a fine-point sharpie. An accompanying note calls these "authentic Edgar de Leon merch" and wishes a happy birthday to "a man who is as sage as he is handsome."

Reggie gets a sleep mask (scavenged but cleaned) and a bonus authentic Edgar de Leon lighter.

PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Henry

[barrow]

Reggie's gift is his presence. Okay no, he also brought her a package of back bacon and sausages.

PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Roswell

[homesteading]

Roswell did not bring presents for either birthday kid, but he did sort of awkwardly offer to do any woodworking or small constructions projects for them that they might need done.

PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS: Maggie

[odinochka]

Beck gets a copy of The Tombs of Atuan with a note tucked inside that says: “I hope you read the first one. Happy Birthday. — Margarita.”

Reggie, being almost precisely Maggie’s size, gets a very gently worn long sleeved Merino base layer shirt in shade Sargasso Sea with a note that says: “I have more things like this, if it fits. Happy Birthday. — Margarita.”

PRESENTS,GIFTS, INSULTS

[swordwife]

For BECK: A bottle of CRYSTAL PEPSI, which to Lola is as priceless as an ancient artifact because to her it is an ancient artifact from a more civilized time (1994). STAR-SHAPED SUNGLASSES that Beck may recognize if he watched TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES. Lola thought these were a huge find and thought really hard about giving these away, but anything for the birthday boy...

For REGGIE: A small plastic bag of assorted tiny hands. Perfect for when you want to put a tiny hand on top of your finger! Yuor walcome!
