Ready to Archive April Fools Birthday Party!!!

[Andralyn O'Dell]

Andralyn was in a mad dash to clean her room and clean up the cabin a bit, she was ready for her birthday. She's turning sixteen tomorrow, and she couldn't wait!! She didn't know how James was going to feel, because well she kind of forgot to run it past him, but it was too late now and she was determined to have an awesome birthday party! Once she had everything cleaned up, she got to work on setting up all kinds of pranks. What kind of April Fools party would it be if without pranks. She put some whoopie cushions under some of the couch cushions in the common room, then she put some little poppers under some of the rugs around the common room and even some under the toilet seat. She had so many pranks set up and ready, she was super excited! Racing around the house, setting up traps, picking up a few extra things she missed well cleaning, and then she was in the kitchen baking. Baking wasn't her favorite but she wanted to make her own cake, and that's what she did. Once her cake was done, she took to decorations. Andralyn realized that she should of decorated before she set up her traps because now she was decorating around them, trying to be very careful not to set any off on herself. Because of that decorating took up most of her night, not like it mattered though, when she finally laid down to sleep she was tossing and turning with excitement. Finally she fell asleep, with an alarm set for eight in the morning, to get last minute things done. 

Eight o'clock on April first hit, and a very tired Andralyn rolled over to shut her alarm off, almost dozing back off to sleep. She tossed for a moment, but then she realized what today was and she flew into a seated position in her bed, with a huge smile across her face. Jumping out of bed, she ran out of her room, got herself a nice warm shower, and than got dressed and even put on a little make up, ready for her friends to show up.

[Sage Roberts]

Sage had heard of a party that was going down in the Tyche Cabin.....so she had to go. Sending Loukas a message to meet her there was almost instinctively as she found herself wanting to be at his side more and more. The girl's who birthday it was, was none other then Andralyn who was a wild child!!!! Sage's file on her was huge after all from all the stunts she had done. But of course she got to the party super early as she wanted to sit in the corner and watch everyone like she was known to do. Putting on a nice blue dress she walked to the Tyche Cabin on April 1st which she had to be on her guard. That evil Shadow could be around any corner ready to pull some sort of prank on her!!! Knock she opened the door "Hello, birthday girl" she went inside ready to see what might happen.  

[Shadow Moore]

Shadow found out that one of the younger campers was having a birthday party today, and jumped on the opportunity to show Lilythe off, as if she was a prize that he just won. He knew Lilythe would want to go to the party anyways since she takes so much pride in taking care of the other campers. Hoping in the shower, he washed himself, taking a few long minutes to enjoy the hot shower. Once he was satisfied he got out, wrapped a towel around his waist and headed over to brush his teeth, comb his hair, and then gave himself a little sprits of the cologne that Lilythe likes. He smiled at himself in the mirror, then went back into his room to get dressed. What to wear, he thought as he fumbled through his closet. Finally he came across a nice dark purple button up dress shirt, picking that one, he glanced over to his dress pants spotting a nice black pair, puling them out as well. As he was getting dressed, he sent an Iris message that said "Be there in 10, be ready" smiling, he finished up getting ready. 

Arriving at the Hermes cabin, he opened the door and headed straight for Lilythe's room. He knocked and then tested the handle feeling that it was unlocked, so he invited himself in. Eyes wide when he said Lilythe, a smile growing big across his face. He walked up to her, grabbed her hand placing a kiss on the back of it "Well don't you look stunning!" he exclaims, pulling her in for a deep passionate kiss. When he pulls away, still holding her hand he tugs for her to follow him, leading her out of her room and headed toward the Tyche cabin. 

As much as he was doing this for Lilythe, he also wanted to make sure that no rumors got started, and at a sixteen-year-olds birthday party, stuff could really blow up, especially if that damn girl is there. As they approached the Tyche cabin, he squeezed Lilythe's hand, taking a breath and opening the door. His eyes meet Sage's, and he gives her a small smirk, as he lets go of Lilythe's hand and wraps his arm around her waist to pull her into him. Looking to the birthday girl, who he couldn't remember the name of for the life of him, giving her a smile "Happy Birthday!" He walked the rest of the way into the cabin with Lilythe at his side, letting the door swing closed behind them, side-eyeing Sage, they reached the couch and he  sunk into it, pulling Lilythe with him.

[Dahlia Wakabayashi]

Dahlia knew of Andralyn, as she was close in age as her meaning they came to camp around the same time. So finding out it was her birthday gave her an excuse to bake her a cake just as she did dawn the other day. Excited as the cake came out perfectly. She slowly made her way to the Tyche Cabin with it in her hands. Hoping that none of the other campers would push her, knocking it to the ground. But to her great luck even on April first. She got to the cabin which she knocked before walking in "Andralyn" she called seeing that a few others were there. With a big smile on her face she wanted this to be perfect for the birthday girl. Looking around her eyes stopped when she saw sage who was looking super uncomfortable. Walking up to her she tilted her head and leaned in to whisper "Are you okay?" 

[Andralyn O'Dell]

Andralyn was giddy when the first few people arrived too her party. "Hello Sage! Glad you could make it" she said with a smile, she didn't know the girl really well, but she was sure that Sage knew about her, with all the information she collects, she was an interesting character. Not long after Sage settled down into a chair, two older campers came into the cabin. Andralyn wasn't really sure what reason they would have for coming besides maybe Lilythe being the caring person she was, was just wanting to show her support. "Er, umm, Hey! Thanks" she says as she flashes them a smile, just as she notices the exchange between the guy and Sage. Curiosity peeked she was about to say something, when Dahlia walked in holding a cake. "Dahlia!" she exclaimed, excited for the cake "that was really nice of you to bring a cake, now we have two" she said with a giggle, pointing toward the one she made last night. 

Andralyn offered to take the cake from Dahlia, bringing it over to the counter, and then skipping back over to where Sage was "What was that look about between you two?" she gestured her head toward the guy.

[Lilythe Rayne Rare]

There were so many campers that a birthday party could be taking point at almost any given day of the year. The campers didn't always celebrate in a party, but those who did often had an open attendance party. Lilythe had seen James's little sister, Andralyn setting things up the night before. She figured it was worth at least checking out, since she hadn't been to a party in a while. So when Shadow suggested that they go together, she didn't see the harm in it. Nobody else had asked her, after all. Azrael. Lilythe's heart stung briefly at the thought of the other man in her life. But as quickly as that thought and pain came to her, it left. Her mind entered that haze it always seemed to when thoughts of him came up, and once more Shadow came to the forefront.

She had been in the middle of getting ready when Shadow sent the Iris message. Pulling up the black sleeves of her dress, she blushed but affirmed she would be ready by the time he got there. Lilythe quickly jumped over to her mirror and began putting on her makeup. She had just finished putting on her lipstick when Shadow walked into the room. "You don't look so bad yourself." Lilythe beamed.

He led her by her hand to the party and Lilythe smiled brightly at the others. She waved to Sage and Dahlia before turning to the birthday girl. "Happy birthday Andralyn! Hope it's your luckiest year yet!" She didn't have much time to focus on greeting the girl before Shadow pulled her off to the couch and sat her down on his lap. "If all you wanted to do was sit and cuddle, we could have stayed in my room for that." Lilythe chuckled before leaning into his arm.

[Theodore Thatcher]

Theo enters Andralyn's cabin for her birthday party a little late as a lot of other campers are already there. He notices some pranks that have already gone off on unsuspecting campers. He can't help but smirk at Andralyn's playful nature, even though he knows that some of the other campers might fall victim to her pranks. As he scans the room, he spots her across the room, and his heart races as he feels the familiar spark of physical attraction. This brings up memories and mixed feelings from their time together the other night. On the one hand, he enjoyed the experience and can't deny the chemistry between them. On the other hand, he's always been the aloof type and doesn't know if he's ready to settle down into a relationship, especially with someone from camp. Doing his best to shake the thoughts out of his mind he walks over to her, a coy grin on his face.

"Hey there, Red," he says, giving her a playful nudge. "Happy birthday."

[Octavia Davis Rare]

IT WAS A PARTY!! Octavia couldn't help but be excited about it. Her sister was another year older which was nice, she guessed. Honestly, everyone was getting older, and it was a little strange to her. She had been in the craft area trying to make something for Andralyn. She had wanted to make something home made for her; however, she didn't really know what she was going say about it. She glanced up just in time to see that James was there waiting on her. She showed him a cute little card with pop out hearts that she had made for her sister. "What do you think about it James?" She asked as she grabbed his hand and headed off to the cabin, where the party was being held. Once they were back to the cabin, she had noticed that there were more people that were there. She blinked a little bit at the older campers because some of them she didn't know, well that was until she seen her sister, she dropped James' hand and ran. "SISSY!"  she screamed as she ran over to Andralyn and bounced at her feet. Ignoring everyone around her, she grinned up happily. "I made you something." She said with a bright smile, holding it up to show her. A card with her name spelled wrongly, but the hearts made up for it in all kinds of ways. 

[James Selway Rare Rare Rare]

James was so shocked that Andralyn was turning sweet 16 already as he remembered when she showed up at the cabin all those years ago. The girl was sweet ....at TIMES while on other times she made him want to pull his hair out! But that was what siblings did best right? Speaking of siblings, he went to find Octavia who was working on a craft for her sister. Looking over at her, she showed him the card which he had a big grin. "That looks amazing Ocatvia, Andralyn is going to love it...I just know it! " The two were hand in hand as they went to their cabin where the party was supposed to be. But getting to the cabin , Ocativia dropped his hand as she raced to their half sister. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDRALYN" he said knowing this would not be the only time he would say that tonight. He could see a good amount of people showed up, even that Theo kid that got knocked out at Volleyball. 

[Andralyn O'Dell]

Andralyn smiled at Lilythe "Thank you, I hope so too!" she said with excitement. Before sage could answer Theo walked in, which made her chest tighten. She had a lot of fun with him the last time she had seen him, but she had no idea where she really stood with him. She was excited that he could make it to her party though, giving him a smirk as he walked toward her. When he nudged her she dramatically stepped backed, with a laugh 
"Thanks, I hope you fall pray to one of my pranks" she says with a giggle and wink. 

As she talked with Theo, her little sister came into the cabin screaming sissy. Looking up just in time to see her racing toward her, she smiled leaning down to pick her up into a big bear hug. When she set her down, she looked at her out stretched hand with a cute little card in it. Andralyn grabbed the card looking it over, smiling big "This is so sweet, Thank you sweetheart, I love it". She smiled toward her brother as he said happy birthday to her, she was happy he didn't look mad, but he hadn't fallen pray to one of her pranks yet, which might change his mood. 

[Sage Roberts]

Sage was all too excited to celebrate another campers birthday as she loved to make others feel special. Going inside she looked around and smiled but it wasn't too long when she heard it....that VOICE....NO IT CANT BE...BUT WHY HERE...AND NOW????? Turning the look on her face was one of disgust as she saw Shadow parading Lilythe around like she was some kind of big hunt kill. The look he gave her was one that she felt was daring....daring her to do something or mess this up in some way....Oh he best bet she will....this monster had to be exposed! Giving a wave back to Lilythe she began to plot!

Good thing there wasn't a lot going on so far as she could not wipe the look from her face that even sweet Dahlia noticed. "Yeah, just hot stuffy in here and there is a bad smell" she said side eyeing Shadow back. But just then she straightened up when the birthday girl notice. "Oh sorry we just have a deep knowledge of one another" she nervously giggled. "Ha He Ha He" smiling again as if it pained her. More people began to enter into the cabin so she had to get herself together and quick!!!!

[Vienna Pimm]

No party was truly a party until Vienna Pimm showed up. At least, that had been the general perception back in her Camp days. And now that she was back, she certainly wasn't about let her reputation slide into ruin. The second she'd heard about about one of the younger campers throwing a party in the Tyche cabin, she knew she'd have to be there. Besides... Lilythe would be there, she was certain. Something had been really off about her recently. Her and that Shadow character - whom Vi still trusted about as far as she could throw him. If they were going to be there, then she'd best go keep an eye on those two.

Dressed to the nines, she entered the cabin with her usual dramatic flair! "Ah, a birthday! How delightful!" She ran over to the birthday girl. "Congratulations on another year, my dear! And here's to many more!" She spotted the card in her hand, and the smiling young child beside her. "Oh how beautiful..." she cooed. "Well, my gift certainly won't live up to that one!" She pulled a package wrapped in shiny paper from the folds of her dress. Inside was a silver bracelet with little engraved dice around its perimeter. A symbol of luck for the goddess of fortune. Vienna would never go to a birthday party without a gift, of course. Speaking of that particular goddess though... Vi glanced around the room. She'd had enough experience with Tyche campers that she was pretty sure what the place had in store.

Shadow sat Lilythe down with him on the couch. Him again!? Gods, what is she thinking!?  She was getting ready to storm over when she noticed a suspicious looking lump in the cushion right next to where they were seated. A whoopie cushion, no doubt. She gave Andralyn a wry smile and a wink as if to say watch this, then strode over to the unsuspecting couple.

"Lilythe! Shadow! Great to see you, friends!" She nudged Shadow in the arm almost too forcefully. "Well, go on! Scootch over! Don't tell me I can't sit here by my best friend!"

[Shadow Moore]

Shadow was seated comfortably with Lilythe next to him, "well I would rather do that, but I figured you would want to come help Andralyn celebrate her birthday" he says with a smile, his arm possessively wrapped around her. His attention was soon on sage, glaring at her from over Lilythe's head. Shadow couldn't stand her, and he knew she would end up being here. He had to keep tabs on her, there was no way he was going to let her ruin anything between him and Lilythe. He just got her back. Andralyn seemed to notice something off and Shadows heart started to beat a little faster, wondering what that big mouth bratty little girl will say. Shadow let out a small sigh of relief. A few more showed up, two of the birthday girl's siblings. Shadow gave a wave to the older camper James as he watched the little girl go running to her sister to give her a little handmade card. 

Shadow tried to relax into the couch, when the door to the cabin swung open and a dramatic blonde walked through the door. He rolled his eyes and groaned in annoyance. What the hell was she doing here. He should have guessed Vi wouldn't miss any party even if it's a kids birthday party. She went to the birthday girl first greeting her, but then started toward him and Lilythe, causing Shadow to stiffen up just a slight bit, he never cared for Vi. Shadow groaned and muttered under his breath with Vi elbowed him roughly to push her way between the two of them. As he moved himself onto the other cushion, a loud farting sound came out from under him. "What the" he starts but bites back his frustration, forcing a laugh "good one Vi, you got your laugh, now get up" he says in a gruff but forced happy voice, trying not to show his annoyance. 

[Lilythe Rayne Rare]

Lilythe smiled at Shadow. "You know me so well." She kissed his cheek gently. Shadow had been so much more attentive to her wants and needs this time around, from Lilythe's perspective. He still seemed to want a large portion of her time, but she supposed that was normal for a partner. It would be weird if he didn't want to spend time with me, right? Lilythe thought to herself. As long as things weren't getting in the way of her duties to the camp and her friendships, she was willing to believe that Shadow had really put in the effort to change.

She was contentedly sitting with him when one of her favorite campers showed up. Vienna sauntered over to them and shoved Shadow aside. Lilythe giggled as she heard the whoopie cushion go off, while Vienna wedged herself between them. From where Lilythe stood, Vienna seemed to be coming around to the idea that she and Shadow would be spending time together. At least, she no longer barged into the cabin in the middle of the night freaking out over people talking about them being seen together, which had happened not too long ago. Lilythe was completely oblivious to the fact that her best friend and her lover couldn't stand one another.

"Glad you could make it Vi!"
