Say it's your friend's birthday tonight. How would you celebrate it? Personally, I'd head down to the bar pub restaurant and treat him to a good dinner, but I'm curious as to what you guys think. Sometimes the same old gets a little boring, so... what do you guys do to shake things up?

Just keep your suggestions PG-13. I'm pretty sure kids're still reading this thing, even if they're not very vocal about it.

[As par for the course, Tom's hanging out in front of the local bar tonight. One has to wonder if he'll actually get kicked out for loitering around one of these days... Tom certainly remembers the days of hanging around the bars and getting treated as some suspicious creep just because he didn't actually go in for a long period of time.

He gives someone the Look before continuing to wait outside. Leaning against the wall, he folds his arms and stares up at the night sky. It's a lot prettier here in Fisherman's Horizon - and he can actually see the stars a lot better than back home - and for a moment, it takes his breath away.

... Right, he's waiting for someone. It'd probably be better to look ahead than up, but Tom doesn't seem concerned with that at the moment. If someone's looking for him, they'll know where to find him.]

A well-bought gift would suffice.

You think? I'm not sure... my friend's normally not fond of material stuff.

I have found a thoughtful gift sufficient in the past.

Drinks are always good for such a thing.

[werepanther]

I wouldn't celebrate any other way. :) If you're free this evening, you should come and join us!

- Instructor Tom Bronson

[fierybluebird]

You bet!

Who's the other lucky person?

Tom:

I imagine that the gift would depend on the individual. Does he have any hobbies? Special interests? What does he do for a living?

Those're all good questions, but Jason - Instructor Todd, I mean - is a lot like me. It should theoretically make gift-buying easier, but it doesn't.

Mainly because he usually has whatever I give him anyways.

Just think of something your friend likes. If he likes bread, take him to a bread factory. If he likes candy, find him a golden ticket. Just think of what he'd like

That sounds like a good idea! Thanks. :)

... Now let's see if I can come up with a present that isn't scandalous or R-rated for this guy.

I have those sometimes.

He doesn't like dirty stuff?

late because I fail at replying to things on time

[He punches his arm lightly when he gets by his side. Because that's totally what bff do.]

Hey there, kitty cat.

we can be late together! ♥

[werepanther]

[That jolts Tom back to reality pretty quickly. He grins back at Jason before pulling out a small and oddly-wrapped present.]

Hey! Many happy returns of the day.

late powers activate!

[batmansphoenix.livejournal.com]

Oh? [He eyes the present, eyebrows raising up as he takes it] I thought you were just going to pay for beers. You didn't need-a get me anything.

[laughafterme]

I know what your friend needs!

They need a PARTY!!

[werepanther]

Somehow I doubt that.

[After a hard day working, Aya feels like she's worked enough to consider giving herself a reward. So what better place to go than the bar tonight? One drink or two, some pizza and then back to the Inn for a good night's sleep. She hadn't felt this accomplished in a long while.

As she was about to go in, she noticed someone vaguely familiar looking up at the stars. And now even though it was rude, she was staring and trying to place where she might have seen him before.]

[It takes Tom a moment to realize that someone's looking at him. Once he does, however, he gives her a playful salute.]

Hey. Is... there something I can do for you?

[She's not exactly looking for him but she is passing by the bar on her way to the docks. She's got herself an astronomy book from the library in one hand and a flashlight in the other just in case she really needs it, along with a small backpack slung over her shoulders.

The glance in his direction is a bit wary, he could be a real creeper! But then Padmé slows her steps and really looks at him in the little light that's provided at the entrance of the building.]

Tom. I almost did not recognize you.

[werepanther]

[He sheepishly smiles at her as he comes closer. Man, if he'd known, he would've stopped loitering a while back...]

Sorry about that, Padmé. I hope I didn't scare you?

Yeah? I guess that's true... I just don't want it to get out of hand this year.

Now, really, doing the same thing doesn't have to be old. Particularly when it comes to sharing a drink. Think of it as more of a tradition.

- Botan

[werepanther]

A tradition that's ended with some less-than-stellar results. I wouldn't mind if we were in Balamb, but considering we're guests here, I think we should set a good example this year.
