A Birthday Boy
Who: James, Keith and the people invited to James' birthday party (Toki, Ana, Adelaide, Nana, Ruby, Nadia, Allura & Yuya!)
When: August 13th (Keith part), August 18th (Party)
What: James' birthday (spent at home in Arizona) & James' Soleil birthday party, spent at a Café de la Lune in Soleil.
Warnings: None for party, mentions of NSFW in Keith & James', though anything explicit will be moved off-comm.
[ All people listed above will have received a text message on August 15th. ]
Hey there!
I'm currently out of the country, but my birthday passed recently and I'd like to celebrate with my friends a little once I return home. Are you free on August 18th? I'd love to get a group together and go down to Café de la Lune for the afternoon. It'll be my treat.
No worries if you're not free that day, but I'd love to see you there!
[ On the actual day of, everyone will find that James has reserved the biggest table in the café so everyone can fit comfortably. He's already ordered a few pastries for everyone and is more than willing to order more. James is pretty much beaming. Also his toad is here. Just sitting on his shoulder. Occasionally being fed bits of cake from a special toad-reserved spoon. ]
Thank you all for coming! If I'm honest, I actually had a bit of trouble making friends when I came here. That was new to me. I'm all the more happy to have met all of you. You made me look forward to coming back to France after vacation.
((Feel free to post open top levels and just chit-chat with one another / interrupt conversations, as it tends to happen at group tables. Also no pressure to tag in, anyone who doesn't will just be seen as having been busy that day and not as having skipped his party, haha.))

[ Though after he has done that and somewhat outlined the Situation (tm) in hushed voices, he returns to where Toki is seated, bringing the offering of muffins. It's his party and he won't let one of his guests just sit there sad in a corner! ]
Want some?
no subject
Muffins...
[He tentatively takes one, sniffling. Soon, inevitable tears drip down to salt the muffin.]
no subject
Maybe life was a little easier when Toki was just a weirdo and not a person with a backstory and concerns that are in part deeply relatable to James. But when life was easier, he was also being kind of an asshole. James thinks he knows that now.
So he sits down next to Toki and decides to give his best. ]
Do you want to talk about this? I'm not mad at you at all, for the record. I'm glad you came today.
no subject
I- no... It's just... it's me, I'm sorry- just give me a second.
[For the most part, he manages to reign in the tears, though he's crushing the muffin in his grip a little.]
Thank you, for being my friend. It means a lot, and I'm sorry I... did that. [He gestures towards Nadia.] I wasn't thinking clearly, I guess. You should go, though. It's your party; you're supposed to have fun.

[ Can't exactly take off when someone is crying. James may or may not be bad at 'giving people space' though. ]
And apology accepted. Every birthday party, somebody ends up arguing. Even in my friend group from my old school, where everyone knew each other for years.
no subject
[He doesn't finish his thought, because he doesn't really know where he's going with it. He tries the muffin, something to do while he finishes composing himself. Then he smiles.]
Okay! It's party time!
no subject
Yeah, sounds good to me.
