Birthday Hogs

WHO: Hedgehaus and friends
WHAT: Birthday Party
WHEN: Hedgehog Birthday Weekend
WHERE: Hedgehaus
WARNINGS: A stupid amount of chili dogs. PROBABLY FEELINGS? Listen, some people have personhood issues. Maybe Boomdow.


Sonic new it was around his Birthday. Vaguely. Move around planets enough and its hard to track the date, he had a birthday not too far from when he arrived on Earth. So the BEarthday was very fitting. And, well, Shadow woke up from cyro the same day or day after, so Sonic figured he could share it with his Shadow.

But also explaining that to people would be weird, and telling WAY too much, and also Primedow and SonIDW had their birthdays around the same time and that's why the banners say Birthday.

Sonic was nothing, if not stupidly sentimental. He knew he was throwing a party for his Shadow because he deserved it and well, he isn't going to just ignore the others. Maybe talk about a week of celebration or something for next year.

The beauty of superspeed though is he can set up a party FAST. He just has to make sure Big Blue is busy upstairs for a few minutes and BOOM, party is set up.

First and foremost, the party is an explosion of color. Why? Sonic promised Primedow and SonIDW pride flags and he delivered. There are rainbows and all sorts of other flags scattered across the yard, on the walls, and over the first floor. He's even got balloons over pride flag colors.

There was a banner that said 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHADOWS AND SONICS!' Hand painted, so its a bit messy, and made with blue, red, and black.

There is SO much food. Most of it is cake and chilidogs. Mostly because Sonic knows how much Sonics can pack away, and other people should get to enjoy these foods. There is even a variety in the cake flavors! Chocolate, white, strawberry, even lemon.

There is also coffee beans. Just....just straight coffee beans.

And some chocolate covered espresso beans, and Tiramisu. Less of that, but still plenty. And burgers for those who think hotdogs are beneath them or something.

There is also fruit salad, and guacamole with chips for those who want something kind of healthy.

There is a table labeled GIFTs and a sign. 'Be sure you indicate WHICH Shadow or Sonic. Fluffy are the younger ones.'

The party activities are scattered in the yard and the first floor of the house. Its nothing too over the top, beyond the color explosion. There is music for outside hanging out, some dancing. There is also a television for people to play video games on. (There will be DDR at some point, thanks Eva.)

Inside, there is a large stack of DVDs to watch movies inside.

There are board games on the dining room table for people to play those.

There is also a sign at the stairs to the second floor. 'RESIDENTS ONLY. If someone is upstairs, you leave them alone, even if they're one of the Birthday Boys! Any non-resident attempting to go upstairs if not accompanied by a resident will be swiftly removed.' (He figures he should account for social batteries. Especially for his Shadow and Maria. Sometimes you need a space to retreat away from people.)

Arriving/Food Table (kitchen/livingroom)
Silver made it to the party and entered through the front door. Even if he hadn't been shown where the house was before, there would have been no problem finding it from the air with all the rainbows all over the front lawn. He made his way to the back where the open concept livingroom area and kitchen were located. He could hear music playing from outside in the backyard but what really got his attention was the food table. There was so much food. It looked like there was a bunch of folks here already too.

Never one to refuse free food, Silver made his way over to the table to help himself to a chili dog, fruit salad and some chips with guac. He hadn't eaten yet that day and was ravenous. While he went to sit on the couch and eat, he noted the table of gifts and his chewing slowed and his gold eyes widened. Gifts?

He'd never been to a birthday party before let alone celebrated his own. He didn't know about the gift part! Oh crap!

Outside
After he had something to eat, Silver found himself outside admiring the garden. He inspected every plant and flower and sniffed the blooms appreciatively. He even plucked a weed here and there out of habit. He had been so used to doing it with his Victory Garden back home. He had managed to collect some potted plants to have back at his apartment, but seeing other folks' gardens and such never ceased to entertain him. He tapped a foot along to the music, content to listen to it as he enjoyed the garden.

Videogames
Oh yeah. There was no way that Silver wouldn't try out some videogames while here at the party. He had seen some of the board games, but didn't know how to play them or who he could play with, so opted to check the videogames. He was curious about DDR, but there was also the Ellipsan versions of Mario Kart and Super Smash bros too. He didn't know what to try first! There was also the option to watch movies - which was something he looked forward to doing with Sonic and co. at some point.

Anyone could come across and find the psychokinetic bopping along to a song on DDR. It took him a few songs to warm up to the game and get the hang of it. Soon enough he was having a great time.

Silver tensed slightly for a brief moment, swallowing the food he was chewing before grinning at Sonic, who with his chin on his shoulder like that probably had part of his face against the plush ruff around his neck. He didn't mind the touch at all. It had just been a quick movement and well, old knee jerk reactions were hard to completely squash. Regular touch was still a novelty.

"Sonic! Happy Birthday buddy! Geez it looks like someone barfed rainbows all over your lawn!" The psychokinetic laughed. "In here too actually..." He lifted the plate in his hand with a nod. "Everything tastes great! I've never had....what did you call it? Guac?" He sounded the word a couple of times, chuckling again. "Hah, that word is fun to say..."

"Pride flags?" Silver cocked his head, turning more towards Sonic to face him when he was released. He was still smiling as he was when Sonic had an arm around him and he didn't create more distance between them. Rather, he leaned forward a little. "Huh. Interesting. I've never heard of that before. I like all the colors! Really? I can have one?" He definitely wasn't used to anything like gifts either. His eyes flicked to the gifts table as he felt a flash of guilt. Oops.

He munched on another chip with some guac on it. "Mm. The fruit salad is amazing too." He ate each morsel of food almost carefully. Not wanting to waste a single crumb (or get any on the furniture). Being able to have access to clean food and water was a precious gift and it was one the young survivalist never took for granted. His eyes twinkled at Sonic's laughter. It appeared he also liked the word guac too. It was so funny how much he felt such a connection to this Sonic from another dimension. Silver felt they could almost be brothers by how well they clicked.

"Thanks so much for inviting me, Sonic." He said finally with a small smile. Though there was a flicker of embarrassment too. "I'm not used to parties and I've never been to a birthday one before." He sighed, quills drooping a little. "I didn't know people bring gifts to these and I didn't bring any and here you are letting me eat amazing food and letting me have a colorful flag. I'm so sorry!" He didn't think he was in trouble per se, but he still felt a little bad about it.

Silver-kun!

[Rinku waves from the DJ booth. She crossfades the backing track into something energetic and cheery for a party.]

Oh, you're picking weeds?

"Want to go head to head on DDR? I may not have super speed, but I'm pretty good at this."

It's hard to compete against OP hedgehogs at rhythm games, but Evangeline could at least put up a fight.
