Who: Invitation only, PM for details
What: Raye and Rakka's mutual birthday party, or "Jasmine sure does have a thing about throwing surprise parties for friends, huh?
Where: Shepherd's Haven, the rec building
When: Early to late evening, October 3rd

If Raye wasn't going to take her birthday seriously, Jasmine was going to make sure of it herself. What's more, Rakka's was soon as well, so it was decided to put it all together. Jasmine already had experience throwing parties, after all. I mean, she'd done the same for Winter, right?

~~A single experience is still experience, shut up.~~

In any case, though she'd been in Locke for the past several weeks, she'd returned to Shepherd's Haven for the sake of throwing this little get together. She'd gotten Marina to help her, Lily, Winter, Rakka (who was okay with not being surprised, as they needed SOMEONE to set things up with Raye)... anyone she could get a hold of to set things up in the rec building. It wasn't a really ostentatious affair, of course... there was music, there was food, there was cake, there were presents... all you needed for a birthday, really.

(There was also alcohol, but the advice to drink responsibly).

Now all they needed was the birthday girl.

[ooc - If you want your character to be here, PM Jasmine's account. She's the one handling invitations.]

"....Ah." Right. That whole thing, she'd been wondering about that, ever since Lily decided to rush off on her own. It was hard to feel bad for her, considering how embarrassed she seemed. Jasmine and Rakka only wished to help.

"....What was going on there, anyways? Can you tell me?" She shoots Lily a concerned look. It's totally understandable if she doesn't.

"Ah-ha..." She laughs a bit, eyes darting all over the place. "It was just kind of- um, embarrassing. If I'm being honest. Do you remember ... around Valentine's Day in 2014? I don't know if you would, but I was kind of acting weird and stupid that whole day at school, and I think I ran into you at one point and it was cause, I- ah..."

She reaches up and brushes her hair back, but it's mostly to attempt (in vain) to hide her blush.

"It was because I was trying to deliver a love letter that whole day. To Winter."

"....O-oh."

Well.

She's grinning now.

"That's so sweet of you. Oh my god."

Lily's face flushes even brighter and she coughs a bit, turning her head away a little.

"W- well, you know. And then, having a monster like that pop up, it felt a little, um..." She shuffles her feet. "It threw me off, I guess."

She chuckles a small bit. "Enough that you rushed after it all on your own." Lily gets a more concerned look after that. "Did you finally take it down?"

She smiles nervously. "Right, because I was just... It was dumb. It was really dumb, and I'm sorry. You're my teammate, our powers come from the same place... I shouldn't have done that."

She laughs then, a little. "Yeah, ah. Winter found me. We beat it."

"N-no. Jokes aside, it's okay, Lily. I don't think I would have done any better if that happened to me." Which, thankfully, it hasn't. Not to say that Rakka's written love letter before, ahahah... haha....

"Oh! What a... coincidence?"

Lily scratches the side of her head, a stiff laugh coming out now.

"Ah, not so much a coincidence, so much as... I'm pretty sure a lot of my little escapade got caught on the news. It wasn't exactly... hard to find me..."

Also, why she's been laying low in public for a few days.

"Ah.... Sorry, then." Yeah, that pretty much blows.

"No, no! Don't apologize!" She laughs a bit. "I would've been dead if she hadn't shown up. Which I guess... goes more to show why I shouldn't have tried to go it alone in the first place. I know better than all that, but I guess my emotions just... got the better of me."
