...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.

He leans forward and stares at them for a long moment; his are dark, almost as dark as they are normally, but hers are, yes, green. "EHHH... THEY WILL BE LIKE THAT IN A FEW YEARS," he stumbles out. "IT'S NOT SUCH A BIG DEAL."

The costume is not so good as to pick up that he is blushing under his thick grey skin and the narrow layer of hologram. All he has to do is lean back and look away as if he is maximumally nonchalant.

If she notices, she doesn't give any sign of it.

"Want some snacks? There's all kinds in the kitchen."

Karkat makes a noise that sounds very weird coming from a human mouth full of blunt teeth. "I WAS NOT PLANNING ON STICKING AROUND TOO LONG, I JUST WANTED TO CHECK UP ON YOU AND DROP OFF THAT BOX."

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

"MASHED BILE WORMS, HUH?"

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

"Uh huh!"

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