Who: Yuya, people invited to his birthday
When: March 1
Where: Dresden, Germany
What: Yuya goes on a birthday excursion for with everyone he invited and who also talked their way into an invitation
Warnings: None probably?? Play nice

Yuya spends the few days leading up to the first of March in a barely contained excitement as he plots out how to best use the school's helicopter transport, deliver word of mouth invites, and set a time to celebrate his 15th. Ultimately it's decided that because the trip is a few hours to make it a day event, with the helicopters taking off early and returning late into the night. Sticking with the group is probably advisable, although with so much time it's expected some people will wander. Yuya just wants a day to spend with his friends, instead of doing anything intricate.

The early hours are largely spent touring and window shopping, taking long walks through the markets, sampling food, or appreciating the rich art history on display. There's a lot of museums, parks, and it's the bright clear day. Chilly, though, so hopefully everyone brought jackets.

In the afternoon, they can hitch a ride on one of the paddle streamers along the river Elbe. It's a few hours of tour that takes them by the castles. The tickets aren't too expensive, but if someone can't afford it Yuya will spend some of his own money to spot them the ticket.

After the sun starts to wane and the temperature drop, it's off to warmer places. For those with the cash to spend, there's an opera house they might be able to catch a show at. Otherwise, the plan is to crowd up in some bakery-style restaurant for dinner and cake.

((This is a mingle style log, so feel free to make toplevels and tag each other. It's mostly a loosely planned free for all trip.))

Mm-hm! And we're going to just the place for it! A bakery, so there'll be hot bread and warm food and good drinks!

[Nana beams back at him, before nudging him along and picking up the pace as best she can.]

[Yuya glances down as he catches up to her pace... and then tries to outpace her just slightly.]

Mm, I want hot cocoa. I hope they have it!

Any self-respecting bakery would!

I'm hoping for hot chocolate too. [Nana nods her head.] And maybe a pizza or a bread bowl with soup!

And dessert.

I want cake! [Yuya pumps his fist in the air. He might eat a real meal, too, if it smells good.] Let's hurry, we'll get there first!

Aaah, that sounds good! Your wish is my command, Mr. Birthday!

[And thus, Nana begins to walk faster... TO CAKE.]

Yes! [Yuya bolts forward, almost dragging Nana with him to the restaurant.

At least once in the door he calms down a little, enough to ask for a table for eight (even if Kano is missing). There's a glass case right in front with cakes and pies and other treats on display, tempting them while the host organizes the menus.]

So good...

[Nana laughs... and follows. She's happy to. She slides into the restaurant after, letting him ask for the table -- and knowing it will take a bit. A party of eight's pretty big.

She stops, then, in front of the glass case. Her eyes are wide with delight.]

Yuya...

...It isn't cheating to have a little now is it?

[It is absolutely cheating and Nana knows this.]

Well... [Yuya looks over at the display, leaning over... and then leaning over more.]

I make the rules on my birthday, right? So I say it's not cheating.

...they shall know us by our trail of crumbs, Yuya.

[She gives the desserts a very serious face, and then marches right up there.]

[Yuya leans in close with a smirk.] Let them.

I want one of everything.

[Yuya no.]

[YUYA YES.

Nana grins at him, then to the clerk:] One of everything! [She says it in French.

And... they... start doing a tray. With plates. They fit together like a hellish jigsaw of plates.]

[Yuya gapes, doing a double take and obviously wasn't actually expecting that. He grabs for her arm, shaking it slightly.] Now you have to help me eat it all!

[And he has to figure out how to not make her pay for all of it.]

[Nana blinks. Was she not supposed to do that?

Well... it's done. She looks at him with the biggest, brightest grin, and takes the tray. She is dwarfed by it, and Nana is tall.]

...Maybe we should share with everyone...

[Yuya moves to help balance the tray... maybe taking a couple of the more precarious ones off.]

That's a good idea. [He turns back to the host, who's ready to usher them to the table now. With enough pastry for a whole meal.]

[She laughs when he takes a couple off. Probably for the best. It wobbles less in her arms, and then she nods eagerly. She follows the host, with a glance at Yuya.]

It should be fine! I hope everyone's hungry, because there's plenty!

[Yuya grins as he sets the plates down on the table, then immediately moves to help Nana with the rest.]

They all look sk good, I don't know which one to try first... what if we make a game of it?

I know...

[She looks up. Nana's expression brightens basically instantly.]

What sort of game?

[Yuya pauses, before arranging the plates in a line. It snakes around a little to fit on the table.

In one hand he holds up his fork, and in the other he has a dice app pulled up on his phone.] A race! We'll use our forks as our markers, and every turn we roll the dice to see how many desserts forward we go, and try from that one! But if someone's fork is already on that dessert, you have to keep going back spaces until you're at a dessert that isn't claimed.

Like a dessert board game!

[This is why she likes you so much, Yuya. She looks down at the app, and then looks back at him.]

Let's do it. It's your birthday, so you go first!

Exactly! [Yuya sits in one of the chairs so he's not making too much of a scene, putting his phone face-up. He presses the digital dice, letting it roll to land on a three.]

All right. [He digs his fork into the tip of the third cake slice and eats it at once with a satisfied hum.]

Oo... [She rolls... a two.] You're ahead!

[Hers leads to a little plate with a trio of lemon cookie. She puts her fork on it, then picks up one cookie and takes a bit.]

Mm.

[Yuya rolls, getting a two himself. He eyes the lemon cookies... but the fun of the game wins out over his gluttony.

He bounces two steps ahead, and cuts into a jelly filled pastry. It ends up a little messy and broken, but he enjoys it all the same.] You have to catch up, Nana!

Aah, let's see...

[She rolls and it's... a four. Nana laughs, counting ahead the spaces, and lands on a slice of Boston cream cake. She cuts off the end, and takes a bite, before she sighs.]

Success!

Now you're one ahead of me... [Yuya rubs his hands together before pressing the dice app. It lands on a five.]

Yeah! [He counts under his breath, landing on a huge caramel cupcake. He digs carefully so he can take part of the top and the bottom, holding his hand under his fork as he brings it to his mouth.]

It's so good...

[Nana looks a little jealous.

She wants some of that cupcake. So she rolls, again -- and she gets a four. Which...puts her on the same spot as him.

She blinks.]

What happens here?
