This should work, and I'll tell you now if anyone tells my dad about this, a wrench is gonna meet your kneecaps. [Yes, she's serious about that, she's sharpening her wrench, kupo]

Anyway, if you know my dad Cid, his birthday is in a couple weeks, on the 7th. I'm still getting my bearings here, but if anyone knows a good place on the neutral island to pack in however many people he knows and is friendly with, we've got a party to plan!

well

I do have a house on Eltrut.

[midifications]

Oh? Well, I don't know how many people actually KNOW my dad, but if he hasn't changed, and I know he hasn't, he's probably got his nose in everyone's business. Can your house fit... that many people??

[Because that's just how Cid is.]

[empyrean_mirror]

[Kaveh stares at his phone for a good five minutes.]

maybe we could find a warehouse?

Hmm... I know there's bars and taverns there that probably hold special events if someone make reservations and all that. But that screams 'long day of hard work' rather than celebrating someone's birthday with their friends and family, so prolly not. Other than that, I got nothing. Sorry.

Do we gotta bring anything to the party, like presents?

[midifications]

Having drinks with people he likes is still a celebration! We just gotta sing happy birthday and it'll be right proper.

Nah, not unless you wanna. I got something for him, but I don't think it's necessary.

[catsgothistongue]

Good point. So could it work then?

If you say so. It still feels common courtesy to bring something anyway, but I don't really know your old man much outside of talking to him here and there, so wouldn't know what to get him anyway.

text; un: nutsornothing - I'm so sorry Denji is an idiot

[nutsornothing]

Wait you are Cid's daughter!? Damn I never knew he had kids.

How old is the guy turning anyways?

NO I LOVE IDIOT DENJI don't apologize for him lmfao

[midifications]

Yep, his pride and joy perfect angel of a daughter. :)

[don't believe Ondore'sMid's lies. It's probably true that she's his pride and joy but the rest...]

I dunno how long he's been here, but he was 38 in our world last.

:3

[nutsornothing]

[Denji is not sure if he believes it or not...But he is naive enough to trust any girl if she's being nice enough or super cute...A true sucker.]

Perfect angel, huh?

Damn really!?! He does not look that old but he's pushing 40 already that is crazy!!

Do not speak a word of this to your father, but I do have him booked for his birthday proper. We've a [date nope, she deletes that real fast after realizing that she typed that without realizing] outing. So the day after would be best.

However. While I am not much of a party planner, if you require funds or assistance in keeping him occupied, then I am able to at least offer that.

[Only because it's Mid doing this.]

[midifications]

Got it, a date. [She'll say it instead :) she knows] I won't say anything to him. I'll move it back to the next day!

I'll take you up on that, once I figure out where this is happening I'll have you drag him out. It's just gotta be a surprise! Thanks Enna. ♥

[MIDADOL TELAMON, THE SASS ON YOU. Benedikta drops her phone, and there will be an incoherent message at first that simply reads:]

ssssghgh 💚😠gg😠gg

[Before the next one comes a couple minutes later.]

Anyway. I see you've had others offer their places up, but my yacht is available as well. It should be large enough to accommodate the dozens of people he's come to know.

However, why not just use the Enterprise for it?

[fatalism]

this is thoughtful of you.

though maybe the threat was a little much.

[midifications]

Hey, you never know when someone might wanna cause some chaos and ruin the surprise. I just gotta make sure that does happen, you know?

[fatalism]

that is a fair assessment but surely it won't be necessary? spoiling a surprise party seems trivial.

Cid. That's the bloke who does the things. With the machines.

[ Nailed the task of 'remembering who a person is'. ]

If you're looking to fit as many people in there as you can, I think the Minstrel and Cask has the most space of anywhere that has a kitchen and bottles on hand. They have a lot of regulars in there, but I think you'd have enough time 'tween now and then to ask them to set a space aside for you.

The big old snail's neutral, too. I've heard it's good for the loud, flashy kind of parties. Not been there myself, mind. Couldn't recommend any places.

Ardbert, beloved

[midifications]

Yeah, that's dad alright, I do things with machines too.

[Nailed it.]

Minstrel and Cask? And Big Old Snail? [She's writing this down and stashing it—] Well even if you haven't been there, if you know dad, you sure better show or I'll drag ya there myself. :) [A threat? A request? Yes.] I'll have a look at both! But uh are they both on what's it called? Eltrut?

[andstill]

I don't know him so well. Did some work with him when I first found myself here, that's all. I didn't know he had a kid.

[ How dare you invite him to a party and ruin his cool edgelord image. ]

Oh, the big old snail is another one of these islands. Nautilus, I think it's called? [ Close, but not quite. And Naughtilust is not the kind of place he would be recommending to someone's daughter if he had any more of a clue what the place is than 'they have parties'. ] It's a whole island for entertainment, as far as I've heard. But the Minstrel and Cask is here on the turtle. It's got a decent amount of space, and it doesn't get too rowdy 'til nightfall.

And it seems he was going to let it pass without telling any of us.

Shame on him.

[midifications]

He's not big on the parties-- always had one for me as a kid, but we didn't do much for him. So it's time to do something nice for him!

text: un; gruffier

[gruffier]

I hadn't realized until now that I never made it a point to ask when his birthday was... though I doubt he would tell me even if I did.

The ship should be a suitable enough spot. But if you're looking for something more spacious I'm certain we could find another.

[midifications]

Prob'ly not. But now we can fix it. I think he needs a cake as big as he is, really.

Yeah, that's what Benna said too. Gonna be hard to keep him away if we need to do more than just a day's worth of decorating though.

[gruffier]

[ Wait a second- ]

... Benedikta offered to help with the party?

text; un: pinksidekicking

[pinksidekicking]

Oooo, that's a great threat! It might even work on me!

Anyway, you name a place and I'll be there to surprise him.




We aren't going to give him a heart attack by surprising him, right?

[midifications]

Course not. My dad's the strongest, coolest dad ever. He wouldn't drop from just a surprise party!

Great, the more the merrier! I'll make sure it's the best party he's ever had! Bring yourself and if you fancy it, something as a gift.
