party under the stars

[rugpull]

Who: Anyone
When: 10/4/2025
Where: Outside, track and field area
What: Party!!! FOOD! SWEETS!
Warnings: so much food

[Outside, under the stars, with lots of candles out for light

so many tables laden with sweet treats. One table of different pies--apple, pecan, pumpkin, coconut cream, blueberry

another for cakes! chocolate, angel food, carrot cake, red velvet, a cheesecake, coffee cake

and a third table with a tower of donuts alongside chocolately brownies, sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, peanutbutter cookies...

So many treats. And a hyena sitting on the ground, donut in his mouth, looking up at the sky as the stars start appearing as dusk sets in proper]

Do people say that's why yer so smart?

[velluminous]

[ people don't say she's smart. ]

Perhaps so.

[rugpull]

I dunno if I'd like t'be a certain way cuz fate said so.

[velluminous]

[ an oddly bittersweet liptwitch ]

No, hmmm...? Well, this is just what they say, in any case.

[rugpull]

Yeh...

For us, the stars are the dead watchin' us... I think I like that better.

[velluminous]

Their glittering eyes?

[ she searches the sky with this in mind. Kairos... are you watching over her? ]

[rugpull]

My gran says ya become a star when ya die and watch over everyone ya love. Just the one star I think...

I dunno if its their eyes or not...but s'nice to think of 'em shining and warm.

[velluminous]

[ who would she watch over, then, when she is dies?...
... ]

[velluminous]

[ ugh. sentimental. she scoffs, quietly, and pushes her fork sideways into the pecan pie. cuts off a large mouthful—distraction. ]

I would like to believe it, too.

[rugpull]

Then just believe it. Ain't belief just that sorta thing?

[velluminous]

Hah. Alright. I'll believe it.

And what prompted this lavish spread under gaze of your loved ones?

[rugpull]

My mother's birthday...

[velluminous]

[rugpull]

...this aint m'sky. So.

No.

But I wanna do it anyway.

[velluminous]

Not mine, either. [ can she put an arm around his shoulders? she's doing it anyway. it never occurs to her to ask. ] You have done good.

[rugpull]

[allows and leans into her]

[velluminous]

I will have extra helping in her honour.

[rugpull]

[velluminous]
