Paige Guthrie has posed:
Today is someone's special day! Paige had been in the kitchen baking a rather large strawberry flavored cake dolled up with bright white vanilla frosting and a swirly floral red edging. She even wrote: Happy Birthday RocketFarts! on it, along with a 2 and a 1 candle on it. It sits out in the middle of one of the dining room tables, surrounded by a number of pizzas, chicken wings and a salad.

Currently she is balancing on a chair up on her tippy toes to put the final streamers and balloons on the wall near the ceiling with some tape. A small radio is set up playing some country-pop music from a radio station back home.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn had been busy too, working on decorations, because you can't have a birthday party without lots of big bright and noisy ballooons and streamers just to make the day extra special, right? She's currently fluttering around, affixing brightly coloured decorations in every nook and cranny and ceiling and wall space she can find! "Ooooh, I hope I didn't over do it.." she mutters.

James Proudstar has posed:
James Proudstar walks in casually, probably to get more stew, but sees Paige and tilts his head, "Do you need a hand?" He moves to take the the final streamers from her and place them on the ceiliing. He does not need a chair, though he does look for direction.

Illyana Rasputina has posed:
When it comes to sudden entrances, a teleporter probably excels at them. No brimstone cloud here, though, to announce that someone just is. Where was not before, Illyana lounges with that urban chic attitude going well. A domed plastic cup filled by rainbow-coloured spheres and a milky concoction currently occupies one hand, and if two rusty-orange hands happen to be handing over a box tufted in far, far too much glittery gold-on-cream paper. Approximately seventeen metric yards of tape might be employed to keep that oblong box shut with the wrapping paper that features various mishaps when cake is involved. Including when sharks apparently like cake, cake animates and chases after the designated recipient, cake in a war with an emu.

Possibly balloons being incinerated by angry cake? Not quite that elaborate. She tilts her head and looks back at the fading emptiness, and murmurs something that sounds exactly like crackling fire consuming a log. Human throats usually don't make that sound. But she's satisfied as she nods to the others, totally here because she was /meant/ to be. Hopefully Megan doesn't run into her just being there where she wasn't.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie has a bit of a clue whats going on, since it was not set up to be a surprise, but he gives folks a bit of time to get there. After a bit of time on the phone with his Ma, he comes wandering in. Tonight he is wearing jeans and a black t-shirt with grey game controller on it, that says Level 21 complete. He smiles as he looks around the room.

Scott Summers has posed:
Scott knows what day is this. He keeps tracks of this kind of information (and many other kinds of information). A glance to the kitchen earlier in the morning had also hinted Paige's plans.

Now, he rarely meddles on the 'kids' (not kids now!) celebrations. But Sam is a also a friend, and twenty one is a very important date. Which is why he wanders in mere seconds after Sam appears, looking from the door as if mildly surprised.

Paige Guthrie has posed:
"Thanks, James. Ah' appreciate it." Paige says as she hops off the chair, then takes it back to the table. "Ain't no thing as overdoing it, Megan. Ah'm a firm believer in having so much glitter in th' air you fart rainbows." Once everything is done, she smiles proudly at the work. "There we go. All good."

As Sam makes his way inside, she gives a bright grin. "Happy Birthday, Sam! Ta-da!" She calls out, waving her arms franctically towards the feast and decorations. "Ah' hope you like it." She heads over to him and puts one of those coned birthday hats on top of his head.

"Ah' hope yah' hungry. James said he wants ta' challenge you to a hot wing eating contest. Ah got this sauce they call Death Valley on th' table ta' dip it in."

At the sight of Scott, she straightens up a bit and clears her throat. "Hello, sir."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn giggles and nods to Paige, "Alright! Dont have to tell me twice!" and she's adding more streamers and glitter all over the place. She smiles and waves as people join but when Illy makes a flashy entrance, she makes a face at her. "Illy, heh, it's been a while..." oh and there's Sam. She beams, "Happy birthday, Sam! Hope you like the decorations!"

Illyana Rasputina has posed:
Illyana glances around at the discoveries of decor, and wisely doesn't get too close to something that might inadvertently end up dousing her in glitter. Colour? Perish the notion. She's entirely innocent of actions such as regarding the newcomer into the room thoughtfully and pointing her bubble tea straw at him, possibly with the thought of shooting boba or the squishy rainbow-coloured tapioca? Not at all. "S dnyom Rozhdeniya. Zhelayu lyubvi, schastya i zdoroviya. Do not expect me to sing for you," she announces in that sharp-edged Russian, a clash of syllables hallowing the room in a way English serenades never will. Call up the Red Army Choir and it would be halfway to an invasion.

Eyeing Scott over there, her smirk recedes a fraction and she upnods the man. Brief but polite, which counts for something surely.

A lyrical interlude that is not, her fingertips curled around that remaining present. It's easily dropped on a table. "Da, some time. You did well on the decorations." A compliment? Seriously, someone's probably drugged her or her doppelganger showed up to party instead.

James Proudstar has posed:
James Proudstar nods and finishes hanging the balloons and the streamers, as Sam arrives he smiles and says "...surprise... " in that dry tone. He moves towards the oven, "ONly after I get stew. Then I'll eat whatever you want." He grabs a bowl and spoons himself out some stew. James turns and blinks at all the familiar faces, a bit overwhelmed. He smiles and goes to stand next to the most familiar face. He hands Sam a Warpath sized mason jar of clear liquid, "Happy Birthday, Old Salt. Do not drink that all in one sitting... seriously just don't."

Danielle Moonstar has posed:
    Dani walks in with a box wrapped in simple brown paper and several hemp twine that has been soaked in dye to make it more festive and colorful. "Not too late am I?" Looking around the room to see the decorations and that she walked in BEHIND Sam, "Clearly I need to work on my timing." She will hand over the box to Sam, "Happy birthday, Sam." And goes to give him a quick hug. "Oh James! Thanks for the delivery! I appreciate it a lot."

Scott Summers has posed:
After Sam's sister gives the well-wishes, Scott moves forward to clap Sam's shoulder. "All the best, Sam. Have a good birthday," he offers the younger man his hand. And then does a double take at Paige's straightening. "At easy, soldier," he comments dryly. "I think your friends have prepared you a party, Sam, and I hear the rec room is empty right now. We can talk later."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie will take the mason jar, and hold it up to the light a moment looking at it before opening the jar, taking a whiff, and then the tiniest sip. He looks over at James "Now, that is something my Uncle Luke would call a premium batch." He puts the lid on it, and keeps it in hand. There has been some booze gone missing of late after all. He takes the package from Dani, and smiles "Hey you." He offers a smile during the hug. To Illyana, he says "Happy birthday, health happiness, and I am pretty sure, I got the other one wrong." He admits of his translation. He turns to Megan and Paige "Dang you girls did a great job." He offers them a happy smile.

Paige Guthrie has posed:
Relaxing at Scott's 'at ease', Paige loosens herself up a bit and smiles. "Roberto should be here any minute now. We worked on a present for you together." She says to Sam, then looks over towards the others with a grin. "You don't have to sing if you don't want to, Illy. Ah'm gonna sing though, as loudly and annoying as possible so ah' can send the video back home ta' Ma."

Heading over to the cake, she lights the 21 on top. It's the sparkling type of candles! She snags a slice of cheese pizza also on to a paper plate and then heads over to watch everyone mingle. "Ah' can't believe you're finally twenty-one. That's crazy. Ah' figured you woulda brained yourself by eighteen."

James Proudstar has posed:
James Proudstar grins and smiles at his favorite Cheyenne and offers a big hug, "Anytime, I was in the area and you know Auntie would never have let me live it down. Though, yeah, we are going to have a religiuous holiday soon." He chuckles, "Rabbit stew, if you're hungry." James smiles and nods to Sam, "Yeah, Apache fire whiskey is a wonder to behold... and there is no drinking age on the reservation... Sir." This is addressed to Scott with a big grin.

Illyana Rasputina has posed:
Someone said /video/? There's not a chance of Illyana getting in front of that, anyway, though she might be convinced to lurk somewhat within reach of the others. They all crowd and she stays at arm's reach, though Dani making her appearance snaps her gaze that way with a sharpened curiosity. She shakes her head to the question. "Nyet. See, cake." A gesture would be a waste of energy when Paige already carries the plated thing in, though she does add a slow, thoughtful comment when Sam hasn't quite sat down. "Need someone to cut it after?"

Toothy grins would be appropriate with anyone else, but maybe he knows her well enough not to see the wrong side of the joke. With her, humour tends to be drier than the Atacama Desert after a century lacking rain. A berth given the others is just a reality, though she eases into James' shadow when he's not particularly looking that way.

Danielle Moonstar has posed:
    With a smile back at Sam, Dani slips away from him and to the tall native's arms to hug back. "The whole nation would know about it. As it is we can be the 'bad wayward examples' to NOT follow." She gives everyone else a warm greeting, "How are you all. Sorry I wasn't here to help set up in time." She just smiles at the mentioning of slicing the cake. "I did a good long hike so I can have as big a piece as possible."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie will gather around so Paige can get all of them that will be in the video for ma. He does make sure the mason jar does not show in the video. Habit perhaps. To James, he says "Will have to let ya try uncle Luke's apple pie when get some more and see what ya think." He sets the packages down on a table near him to open them in a bit, first letting others prep for the song and video, and to blow out the candles. "Luckily most of the time when Ah brain myself, Ah am blasting." He sees the writting on the cake and gives Paige a look.

Roberto da Costa has posed:
Arriving fashionably late to the party, Roberto grins as he slips into the room. He's dressed fairly casual in a new dark blue, short sleeved polo with the collar popped up, freshly pressed khaki's and a pair of matching sneakers. In his hands he carries two gifts, one a larger rectangular box wrapped in festive birthday wrapping paper with a bow on top. The card attached says to Sam from Berto, Happy 21st!!

Handing that box off to Sam he gives his friend a warm clasp of the shoulder and a shake. "Well man, you made it! Twenty-one... Big time now!" Grinning he doesn't hand the smaller little square box he carries off, its wrapped the same but its kept close to his side as he moves away to greet Paige. The younger Guthrie gets a warm smile as the Brazilian wraps an arm about her shoulders, pulling her closer as he leans in to whisper to her, handing the smaller box off to her.

Scott Summers has posed:
Scott resist his primal instinct to grumble about someone bringing alcohol to the party. They are all old enough. Almost. "I will see you later..." this time he is addressing everyone. A glance to the cake lettering makes him hurry up in his way out. It might cause irreparable damage to his reputation if the younger generations see him snickering, after all.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn is flitting around this way and that, nibbling on snacks, sipping various sweet sugary drinks and dancing g to upbeat music. Buut, she's still pretty tired from a workout earlier and her wings start to droop after a while as she tries to keep up with current events..Eventually she yawns and rubs her temples, "Guuuh, got a major headache.." she groans, practically dragging herself around. Definitely not her usual self but there's always tomorrow! She waves to the others before slinking tiredly away..

Danielle Moonstar has posed:
    "Some say it isn't a 21st if you can remember it. I personally don't prescribe to that. I like to remember that fun." Dani greats Roberto's arrival with quick wave and a smile. "Take care Scott. Sleep well Meg. If you need help or some medicine just ask," as she reaches for something to drink. Can't have cake without something to drink. "But happy birthday Sam."

James Proudstar has posed:
James Proudstar smiles and as the video comes on James moves to block it's view of Yana, while not excluding her from the group. It really is an impressive display of physical agility, designed to go entirely unnnoticed by everyone else. James nudges Yana and glances down at the present, so gaily wrapped, with an expectant grin. He places his bowl on the counter. He laughs, to sam "I will have to try that."

Illyana Rasputina has posed:
"Probably for the better," muses Illyana. She watches Scott and Megan take their leave in the shimmer-dust cast forever in the latter's wake. From the shadows cast by the large Apache, the Russian sorceress keeps a sharp watch on just about everyone else. Possibly stray breezes out to put out candles.

"Aha, the firestarter." Roberto's presence is not unnoticed on her part, though she gives that sharp edge of a smirk in fleeting measure before he turns to handle something with Paige. The shroud of shadows around her has a way of just darkening little by little, and some of the work on Jimmy's part is that much easier.

Paige Guthrie has posed:
Lifting a hand to wave to those who depart, Paige gives a smile to Sam. "Well, blow your candles out!" She sets up her phone so that it's properly in place, then taps along at her Watch to make sure the camera is in focus. When Roberto heads over and loops his arm around her, she leans into him with an amused grin, then takes the package from him.

"Ah, your present from us finally arrived." She calls over to Sam, giving it a bit of a rattle in his direction. "Okay, so quick song and then you can open 'em up?"

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie will nods his head a bit and leans down to blow out the candles, and once they are out, he will says "Lets cut the cake, and then presents, that way those who need the sugar can get some in." He jokes a bit, but does cut the cake some in smaller some in larger pieces, even one in a warpath sized piece. Once he has cut it, he lets others serve, getting himself a piece, and heading to a seat next to the presents.

Danielle Moonstar has posed:
    "I imagine you're good for keeping trick candles going on birthday cakes," Dani quips to Roberto. She waits for the candles to be snuffed and then will give a small clap and cheer, "Illy you gonna cut the cake for us?" She's eager for the sweets to say the least. What girl doesn't like a dessert now and then.

Alison Blaire has posed:
Through the doors to the dining room walks Alison Blaire. She is rushing, knowing she's late. But one she's inside she grins and gives a little wave to Sam, before she comes around to watch the cake cutting. Despite her outsized personality when on TV or performing, here in the Mansion she tends to be a little...quieter.

Roberto da Costa has posed:
From where he stands with an arm about Paige, Roberto turns to look toward Illyana before she gets a wink. Its followed by a wave of greeting before the /firestarter/ looks to Daniel and laughs. "I can help out if there is some issue with fire, sure." Smiling wider he gives a wave to the rest of those here for Sam's birthday party. "Ok ok, give me like... a sma- no, big- no, Let me get a medium sized slice." Slipping his arm free from around Paige he moves over to help hand out the cake. Looking to Sam next he asks, "So... What's the big wish on the list of gifts?"

Paige Guthrie has posed:
As the cake cutting commences, Paige goes about taking some pictures of the party and some small clips of the video. "Hey Miss Blaire! You gonna sing the birthday song?" She asks with a grin as she waves a hand to the popstarlet. She puts the small package on the table top, then takes a bite of her pizza once she has her hands free.

Illyana Rasputina has posed:
"Maybe if you ask nicely." The morality police wouldn't know Illyana Rasputina if they ran into one another in a joust, but she can offer that mirthless hint of a smirk. If Sam needs it, he might find himself within a whisper of a cake knife bouncing through the aether and landing in the frosting. Mind you, it's a black-metal knife with a bloodwood hilt but sometimes it's about what's in immediate reach.

Or the demons of Limbo have a really colourful sense of humour about presents. Either way, she avoids the commotion for cake in favour of crookedly waving at Roberto. "Da, you are the one to light it up. What is new?" Hello, attempts to be conversational, though she's far from an expert at small talk. Or parties. With his on the rampaige of photos, Illyana expertly uses Sam and James to block her from ending up on film. It makes for a measured nod to Alison. Fashionably late; a finger to her lips swears the silence of the Rasputina.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie thinks about it a moment, and says "The big gift? Ah aint sure to be honest, been more working on trying to get some things for others, have not thought about much for myself to be honest. Ah mean Ah got great friends, a great girl, wonderful family blood and non blood, what more could a guy want?"

Danielle Moonstar has posed:
    Danielle Moonstar sips at her drink as she waits to see the slices of cake getting handed out, "So we have any horribly immature games." She will wait her turn for treats and stay back to make sure get a good view of the presents when they get open.

Alison Blaire has posed:
As Paige asks her to sing, Alison blinks a couple of times, and then grins, "I would love to, thank you," she says, before she clears her throat a couple of times, and then begins a rendition of Happy Birthday for everyone to follow along with. It's pitch perfect, and she does not overwhelm the melody but rather works to enhance it, making it fuller with her voice. And, maybe her talents do a little bit for the acoustics of the room. She then steps back and adds, "happy birthday Sam," to the young man, before sliding in line for cake. Cake! The second reason to come to a birthday party.

Roberto da Costa has posed:
"Mmmm, a bottle of top shelf scotch..." Trailing off Roberto points to the box he brought for his friend as if to say that's what's in that box. "Mmmm, what else? A great time? Some cake?" Grinning at that the Brazilian looks around then room and then starts to sing along as they song kicks off, clapping and motioning for everyone to join in with them.

Illyana Rasputina has posed:
And they're at the point when the blonde sorceress reaches the cultural limits of what she can take. Dancing in the light of a thousand sparkling Dazzlers is one thing, but singing? Ah, it's that time again. Illyana reaches for a piece of cake and slinks her way to lurk behind a table. With frosting in the way, no one can really expect her to open her mouth. Right? Surely.

Paige Guthrie has posed:
As she sings along with Allison, Paige gives a quick round of applause with a bright grin. After taking a slice of cake for herself, she takes a few bites hungrily, leaning in to bump her shoulder against Roberto's. "Ah' still think he's gonna be pretty excited." She drawls out with humor in her voice. "Sammy, you gonna open presents now or what?" She calls over to him. "We ain't got all day ya'know."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie chuckles a bit to :chuckles and will pick up Illayana's first, and moves to carefully open it. I mean it could be something that bites after all. Once opened he will pull out a Kindle with headphones, a bottle of 21 year old whiskey, and a t-shirt that says Noble Gasses and has the periodic symbols dressed like royalty " He looks up and smiles over at Illyana and says "Thanks Illy." He looks through whats on the kindle and whistles softly.

Alison Blaire has posed:
Alison Blaire starts to work on her own piece of cake while the presents are opened. She wanders in the direction of Illyana, though she doesn't engage her in conversation just yet. Rather, she just works through the delicious cake slowly, like she's worried she's going to miss something by eating it too quickly.

Illyana Rasputina has posed:
See, cake. The delicious prospects of sugar, whipped joy, and evil that will inevitably be converted from the risk of gaining at her waistline to sheer terror on some innocent, perfectly fine demon minding its own business. Illyana Rasputina has a metabolism on par with a small sun, in truth, but she doesn't actually indulge herself in cake much. She eats it methodically, seeing it as a block of energy and not much else. Alison, however, might want to enjoy herself more indulgently. "It is not poisoned." This is given with the solemnity due it, especially with a sidelong look to Paige and then Sam. "I had other plans but it was possibly going to get me knocked past Long Island."

Poker face? Done. She nods up at Sam. "Take Berto up on something excessive. He needs a fresh challenge." Or a reason to flee at high speeds when Sam clues in to the noodly append... issues brewing elsewhere. Really.

Roberto da Costa has posed:
With the cake being eaten and the gifts being opened, Roberto looks to the little box Paige handed off to Sam earlier. It has a small tag on it that reads /From: Paige and Roberto/. Picking it up he shakes it and listens to the soft rattle from inside before handing it to Sam. "Open this already! Actually..." Reaching into his back pocket he pulls out a folded up bandana that he folds into a blind fold. "Come on man." Tugging on Sam to have him stand he then moves to tie on the blind fold. "You'll need to be led to more gifts..."

Alison Blaire has posed:
"Oh, I'm not worried about poison, I just want to enjoy it. On the road...you don't get stuff like this too often. It's all so prepackaged and everything is from the same two or three big catering companies." Alison explains to Illyana. "So, something nice and different is a real treat."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie will raise a brow, but does stand and let his friend blind fold him "Just remember my sister is in the room, so nothing to weird. " He jokes to his friend, but does relent to being led about.

Paige Guthrie has posed:
Practically bouncing on her heels, Paige gives a grin when Roberto thrusts the small box towards Sam. "Yup, this one is gonna be a doozy." She says with a drawl in her throat once she puts her plate down now that she finished her cake. She waits for Sam to be blind folded before reaching behind him to give him a nudge forward. "Come on, ah'll lead yah. Yah'know, like a horse ta' water." She says with a giggle. "Whatcha mean nothing too weird?" She leans over and gives Berto a smooch on the cheek once Sam is blindfolded, smirking at the Brazillian.

Roberto da Costa has posed:
Roberto laughs, giving Paige a wink at the kiss to his cheek before he waves for everyone to follow. Its not a long walk out to the parking lot where everyone else can see the gift that Sam can't see just yet. Helping to keep his friend steadied he turns him so he's facing the building, back to his gift with that little box in his hands. "Alright man. We'll take off the blind fold, you open the box then turn around."

Alison Blaire has posed:
Alison Blaire watches from the edge of the party, smiling a little at the secret stolen kiss by the boy of honor's sister. She seems to be pondering a second slice of cake, but soon enough she is led out to the parking lot with the rest of the guests. She snags a water as she goes, and takes a sip of it when they all get to the new 'big' gift.

Illyana Rasputina has posed:
This one's a doozy, huh? Blindfolding Sam might be a point of amusement to follow up on. She tilts her head slightly in Alison's direction, sharing a look that is less amusement than measured conspiracy. But what Sam doesn't know is good for him, right? So too is she part of the exodus, since the 'big' gift awaits, and given Berto's involved, the sky is hardly the limit.

"Should we find a fire extinguisher?" she asides.

Alison Blaire has posed:
Alison Blaire replies in a low tone, "Probably." And then she points to one for Illyana to grab as they walk down the hall.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie will start to undo the present, and as the blindfold is removed, and he finds a key inside the box. "Ok, whats this, I already got a key to the mansion." He says but does turn around as he is instructed looking down at the keys a bit "This aint house keys." He comments as it dawns on him.

Paige Guthrie has posed:
As Sam is led through the mansion and out on to the front porch, he can tell that it's definitely colder. Paige pops out from behind him, then reaches up to take off his blindfold. "Ta da!"

Out on the long driveway is a brillaint white Ford F-450 pickup truck. The heavy duty kind. Fully loaded with large tires that can climb any terrain. There is a huge red bow on the top of it. Inside the cabin is several Bruce Springsteen vinyls and a record player to go along with it.

"Surprise! I hope you like it."

Roberto da Costa has posed:
Grinning, Roberto flashes that expression to Alison and Illyana and shakes his head, "No no, no fire nothing crazy. Just..." Trailing off he claps as Sam turns to see the truck and hear of the gifts within. "Look, I know we got you some good booze too... Just remember, drinking and driving is never cool." Clapping his buddy on the back he adds, "You deserve this. Jump in and check it out." With that said he pushes his friend lightly towards the truck, winking to Paige.

Illyana Rasputina has posed:
In acquiring a fire extinguisher, the Demon Queen of Limbo plays to type and yet it's one of the great ironies. Fire and her are on more than speaking terms, old friends with a rare detente. She nonetheless nods to Alison and totes that chemical-filled cylinder outside where that chariot awaits one Guthrie, a steed for the other, and the rest there to witness the response.

Americans are so strange. There is much to be learned by simply watching. "You want to drink, tell me. I can transport you the easy way." A flicker of sparks isn't necessary to illustrate the point.

Alison Blaire has posed:
The lack of fire seems ok with Alison, as she grins over at Illyana's comment. She wraps an arm around the woman for a moment to pull her into a side hug and says, "I should really bring you on tour, save me some money with transportation...but...I think my roadies would revolt." She lets the woman go, and then takes a sip of her water as she watches the younger members of the party celebrate the new vehicle.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie will stand there a moment, and is dumbfounded. It takes him a moment before he can speak "Guys, this is... this is..." He can't seem to quite find the words for a moment. He looks first to Berto, and then Paige. He will walk over to the truck and climbs in looking about. He looks over at the record player, and records and smiles more. "Ok, everyone in, I don't think they will be happy with us, if I try her out here on the front lawn."

Paige Guthrie has posed:
"He paid for it, ah' just picked it out. Ah' got you the records though. That was my contribution." Paige says to Sam with a grin, bumping her shoulder against Berto's happily. "Ah' call th' bed!" She says as she bounds her way over to leap into the truck with a loud thump of sneakers against metal.

"Now you can retire th' station wagon, or throw it to the wolves of auto shop." She teases her big brother.

Roberto da Costa has posed:
Looking to the group, Roberto motions for all of them to follow to the truck as Sam tells them to get in. "Come on ladies." With that said he opens the back doors and then laughs as Paige jumps in the bed of the truck. Slapping the side he the truck he nods at Sam, "Give it a go," then he moves to take shotgun.
