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.]

I must admit that you did, but only at first. Once I realized it was you... I had hardly a reason to be frightened.

[She knows Tom is as harmless. As a kitten.]

Are you waiting for someone?

[werepanther]

Not particularly. [He's waiting on Jason, but he also knows that Jay'll show up soon enough---and whenever he does, the party'll last for forever.] Were you planning on getting a drink?

[ofherfate.livejournal.com]

I had not planned on it, no. [She shakes her head and then gestures to the docks off to the south end of town.] I was planning to enjoy the clear skies and read the stars, as silly as that may sound.

[werepanther]

Nah. [He glances over in the direction she's pointed. Sure looks like a pretty night...] I think you're like the only person here who could make every cliche in the book legitimate.

[ofherfate.livejournal.com]

Is that so? [Padmé tilts her head and gives him a curious look.]

[werepanther]

Yeah. It's like... cliches exist for a reason. [He's not really sure how to explain it, because in Tom's mind, it just IS.]

Should I... not venture to the docks to look at the stars?
