Anya’s Very Belated Birthday Party (Open)

Characters: Anastasia Romanova [Vasilisa the Beautiful] and Everyone

Campaign: Break (forward dated)

Format: Both prose and brackets are welcome!

Open

Summary: Anya is hosting a very late birthday party shortly after the Sugar Plum Beast campaign at a clearing near her cottage.



A message is sent out to the journal network in the following words:

There is a party later on June 23 in the afternoon.
Below is an attached map to the clearing where the party is going to be held.
It’s going to be a potluck lunch, so bring along a dish or drink to the party. Gifts are optional but welcomed.
See you real soon.



At the party in the clearing (that Anya is given full permission to host at by the clearing’s owner), there are the Index equivalent of string lights strung about on tree branches and plain poles and flowers in green jars Anya has found some time ago in the Index marketplace hung on tree branches by her own flax threads.

At the center of the clearing, there is a long wooden dining table covered in a white tablecloth and surrounded by mismatched chairs (some of which came from her cottage) with a burlap table runner and flowers in clear jars and tea cups, scattered on wood slices and on the table itself. The plates and silverware are just as mismatched as you can get, and instead of crystal glassware, there are jars repurposed as glasses. In fact, the only matching things in the table are plain white linen napkins.

Nearby the table are a dancing floor for those wanting to dance to the (non-existent) music and another long tablecloth-covered wood table used to hold the food and drinks for the party, the centerpiece being the small one tier cake Anya got in the bakery she accidentally walked into when she arrived at the Index. Pooka is also there, happily chasing birds and barking happily with a red bow tied loosely around his neck for the occasion.

Sure it might not be a party fit for a Russian Grand Duchess, but it’s the best she can do with the resources she has and what she can find in the Index, and she is still proud of the work she has done in making it possible.

[OOC: Visuals for the party can be found in here, here, here, here, here.]
