...how kids plan parties...

If they're dreamers, they want bouncy castles and pony rides and giant tigers.

If they're the children of superheroes, oddly enough they still want those things, but you can't find a good pony that resists nuclear radiation as Tyler's learned. So, in the interest of keeping things simple and within his budget, a party has come together in the backyard of the house of one Augustus Fenwick.

Inside, there's plenty of soda in the fridge, and bowls of chips, dips, crackers, pretzels and ofcourse candy and little paper favor bags. The coffee table between the couch and TV already has one large present wrapped in brown paper (decorated with green watercolor cats) and an absolutely HUGE box wrapped in a myriad of wrapping papers next to it.

Outside in the fenced backyard is a good sized stick, branch and log structure, waiting to be set on fire as soon as the sun really starts to set, and that isn't that far off as the afternoon sunlight reveals. There's a kid in a black trenchcoat that looks about eight sizes too big poking about said structure as Tyler holds open the door for the guests. And decorating the walls, counter top are little decorated brown-paper flags saying 'Happy Birthday Nepeta!" in green letters.

Karkat tucks his black corduroy jacket around himself more tightly at that. It is covering up his usual shirt, at present, but the dark grey cargo pants are his usual. There is something drawn and self-deprived, too, about the dark narrow face he has chosen.

He mooches along, inspecting the table full of presents before gingerly adding his flat unwrapped box to the heap.

Kanaya is enjoying herself so far, though while she watches the proceedings interestedly, she's not entirely sure on how to insert herself into them.

She is, however, keeping a close eye on the birthday girl in question. Karkat would skin her alive, if she let anything happen to their friend. There are also people to be rescued from inbound pouncegreets. Not everyone is able to stand an incoming catgirl.

"At least try the guacameowle? It tastes a lot like mashed bileworms but Tyler says it's made out of fruit."
nepetaleijon: (pounce!)

Fortunately, Kanaya is completely able to stand an incoming catgirl.

That's about to be a very good thing, in three ... two ... one ...

To give Kanaya some credit, the pouncegreet doesn't knock her over, but she does stagger some under the sudden weight against her back and shoulders.

"Oof. Hello, Nepeta!"

"MASHED BILE WORMS, HUH?"

Yes, that sounds like something he would want to put in his mouth...

"Hi Kanaya!"

Nepeta looks completely delighted. At EVERYTHING.

[personal profile] bloodyvirgo 2011-12-16 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Kanaya smiles, letting the small girl hang from her for now.

"Are You Having Fun?"
nepetaleijon: (happy cat)

[personal profile] nepetaleijon 2011-12-16 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Uh huh!"

Nepeta tugs at his arm, drawing him relentlessly toward the kitchen.

"I'm Glad To Hear It," she says, making her way to the table containing the presents with the cargo on her back, and in her hands. "Otherwise You'd Have Grumpy-horns Telling You 'I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO!'"

CAKE. AND. PRESENTS. Either of those alone would be cause for rejoicing, but together it is closer to something like rapture.

Nepeta has been coached about blowing out the candles; she manages it in one go, and proceeds to carve up the cake into slices with alarming efficiency and glee.

And somewhat later, she's tearing open wrapping paper in much the same fashion.

(Even if she isn't using her claws for either.)

Karkat is waiting and watching nonchalantly, pushing his slice of cake around with increasing agita as she gets close to his little white unwrapped box.

It's not like he's nervous or anything.
nepetaleijon: (h33 h33 h33!)

[personal profile] nepetaleijon 2011-12-16 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
She's giggling. "He might say that anyway."

And there it is!

No wrapping paper means it's easy to open.

It is small, and flat, and inside the box is another, flatter box.

It's a movie!

It's a movie with ...




oh.

Oh my.

Nepeta's eyes GLEAM.
crabbycustomer: Karkat talking rapidly (animated) (DECLARATIVE)

[personal profile] crabbycustomer 2011-12-16 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
"IT IS ALREADY OPEN," Karkat warns her. "I WATCHED IT TO SEE IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT. IT IS ABOUT A SUCCESSION BATTLE BETWEEN SOME LIONS."
nepetaleijon: (pounce!)

[personal profile] nepetaleijon 2011-12-16 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, there's pretty much no way Karkat isn't getting pouncehugged.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!"
crabbycustomer: Karkat staring out of the icon like a big goon, with huge eyes (DERP)

[personal profile] crabbycustomer 2011-12-16 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
"GYAH!" He flails. "FUCK, IT'S NOT THAT GOOD!"

Karkat personally considers an expression of complete paranoia to be a good start to any social gathering. He is not watching Tyler in particular that closely, though, amid all the other possibilities of the room. He finds an inobtrusive place to lurk and watch for Nepeta.

Tyler receives a smile as he sidles up alongside Kanaya.

"Hello, Tyler. Thank You For Having Us Over."
