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.)

Naw, naw, you gotta look at it through the goofy lens of a movie -
I'd be riskin' myself, jumpin' in to save ya; that always gets the hero some line like "Are ya stupid? I can handle myself!"
Or some shit like that.

I'm thinkin', like, back of the store, on clearance action movie, here. 'Cause, y'know... ain't like I'd actually ever need to hop in like that?
You actually can handle yourself.

[Because she's like, powerful? And strong? And smart??
(And pretty, and friendly, and smells nice, and--)]

[Evangeline has seen those movies. The threat is usually smaller, though, if it's something that the movie wants to sell to her that the heroine would have survived without help.

Of course it's obvious that if Evangeline got too careless and distracted out in the Segments, she would probably die horribly. That's what happens when you get careless and you don't have an absurd healing factor. But Chipp doesn't think he'd need to step in for her, because she wouldn't get careless in the first place?

...Maybe monster-fighting date is a bad idea. She has confidence in her ability to focus on fighting over people being hot in her vicinity, but why test it when she doesn't have to?




She's very clearly overthinking this and hasn't responded to Chipp in a full minute.]

...

[...




... He's more than happy to let her think for a couple minutes, honestly. Even has a couple chips as he waits.
He is Not a normal person, the fact that she's gone completely silent while overthinking does not phase him nor does it occur to him that that's what she's doing.
boy got that autism swag like that

Eventually, though, he tilts his head with all of his big ol' cowlicks flopping with the motion, giving her a blink or two.]


... Eveé?
abnormalizes: neutral (an equation on the abacus-)

[Ah. Right. She should probably tell her boyfriend how she's feeling. ...Words.]

...I like to think I'm. Fairly strong? Maybe upper middle tier, here in Ellipsa? I have all the standard summer powers learned, and I'm used to fighting things that are frankly a lot more dangerous than the average monster in the Segments.

But I don't think I'm so strong that getting careless or making a stupid mistake couldn't still get me horribly killed? That's kind of just how the world works, for me.

...

[Aaaand he eats another chip.]

You actually run across monsters that dangerous 'round here? I don't think I have -
Most've been real weak shit... real weak shit.

'N besides - I'd be there, remember? Like I toldja... you're strong 'n can handle yourself, you can stand on your own forever if you gotta. But you don't gotta anymore.
I'm here, too.

[All this from a goofy movie scenario that Chipp posed purely because they're quietly huddled under a table together...
At a birthday party, no less.]
abnormalizes: negative (but who is who stuck in the other's web)

Some of them. Not most of them, but some of them are a threat even if I'm doing everything right.

[Facing a group of glamour monsters with Macaque suddenly unconscious for no apparent reason was not her idea of a good time. In hindsight, it's incredible that she wasn't hurt worse.]

I don't want you to stop thinking that I'm capable.

...

[That pout of his gets a little worse for a moment, only for him to move to lean on her again.]

If I toldja I once got ate by a rabbit... wouldja think I'm not capable?
abnormalizes: neutral blush ((the girl's a super freak))

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2025-06-28 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
-I would think it was probably not an ordinary rabbit? But no, I wouldn't think you weren't capable.
fauxbot: (unhelmeted, annoyed) (📺↮110)

[personal profile] fauxbot 2025-06-28 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Awright, fair 'nuff - it'd be obvious the rabbit's fuckin' gigantic, sayin' that. Three times my height!
Desert back home's full of all kindsa fucked up shit.

But... you met Ezra before? Cute fella, real gentle 'bout shit.
You don't think I ain't capable just 'cause I died fightin' him, do ya?

[That's probably a better example, he's sure, considering... you know. Gestures at all of Ezra.]
abnormalizes: neutral blush (or at least I can't remember it)

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2025-06-28 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
I’ve met him, yeah. And I know you’re still capable.

[Her turn to lean on him, now.]

I still don’t really want you to have to rescue me. Even if you wouldn’t think any less of me for it. It feels bad.
fauxbot: (unhelmeted, happy) (📺↮77)

[personal profile] fauxbot 2025-06-28 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Leaning together! He'll even wrap an arm around her shoulders again, nice and snug.]

I know... don't worry, I getcha. I'm just sayin' -
If I gotta, I will. And I ain't gonna think any less of ya if I do. Ouais?
Just if somethin' happens and I gotta.
abnormalizes: neutral (I'll forget how to love along the way)

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2025-06-28 11:52 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Love you.

[Leaaaan.]

I swear someday I'll internalize that I can rely on other people for help and it's okay. It's just taking a while.
