two 🔧 it's a pirate's (birthday) life for me
Who: Everyone who knows Cid!
Status: Open
Where: The Enterprise II on Eltrut, long before Cid becomes The Most Wanted Man
What: YO DAD, IT'S YA BIRTHDAY
Warnings: Probably? If people get drunk, or make out... but probably pretty general here.
Under the pretext of "I need some supplies" and Benedikta keeping Cid busy for any and all party business, and the help of Kaveh for some money to get said supplies, the Enterprise II is ready for a party! Another shellphone alert will have gone out to everyone but Cid with a time and place and a note that if you know Cid? Show up! Even if it's been a very brief meeting, it's likely Cid would remember you anyway; he's just Like That. Come for singing happy birthday, stay for some cake and dinner!

THE FOOD
Styled like what you'd find in one of the many taverns dotting Eltrut in a large buffet-styled table is plenty of tavern food and some casks filled (and marked appropriately) with alcohol and non-alcoholic mead, wines, and punches, straight from the Minstrel and Cask. Larger casks are found around the main area as well holding the same.
The cake itself is styled like a night in Waloed, long before any issues arose, almost as if taken straight from memories. Inside is a chocolate cake with some light lavender flavouring, and for those who want some lighter fare, some of the same cake has been made into cupcakes with mini lightning bolt-shaped cookies with some differing decor.
OUTSIDE
Outside has plenty of seating on the deck, tables, and places to watch the hustle and bustle of Eltrut, with some balloons hanging from some high-up strings above everyone's head. At night, the balloons will be lit up to look like stars, and the boat will pull out from harbor to at least circle the main island slowly. There aren't really any places for people to sneak off to (and if Mid catches you trying to break into crew quarters... so help her she'll tell her dad) but people can enjoy the sea breeze and some drinks under the stars.
As sort of a centerpiece is a small potted tree with many branches, and slips of parchment with ribbon ties, and quills for writing to act as a guestbook but also a memory tree. Even if you haven't known Cid for too long, you can still write something nice!
Overall this is very much a mingle post! Drink, eat, be merry, and wish Cid Telamon a happy birthday!

And isn't Clive in charge of that? I'll have to give him a stern talking to.
[And one more hmph! and that cheese slice is finally cut. Clearly they just need a better knife—]

[If she was a fellow man, she'd give Cid a hearty clap on his shoulder to celebrate his success. Instead, she gives him a mischievous smile that twinkles in her grey eyes.]
Ah, there we go. Now was that so hard?
[Says the woman who can't even help Cid with her bum arm.]
no subject
[And he's also going to give her a little look before slicing it up into smaller pieces to put on a plate for her.]
I should send you to the brig for such an attitude.
[Except he won't. He finds it honestly amusing from Jill.]
no subject
[The smile remains on her face, but just grows a little bigger.]
You wouldn't dare. Clive would stage a mutiny on the ship.
no subject
[Loopholes, loopholes everywhere.
And a snort.]
Well if he wants all the responsibility, then by all means he can have it. I can just sail off somewhere else and try that "retirement" thing.
[Annnd smirk. What now, Jill.]
no subject
Oh, now you're accepting of your elder years enough to considering retirement? You can't have it both ways, Cid. Either you're still spry or you're about to give Harpocrates a run for his gil.
[Can't have your cheese cake and eat it too.]
no subject
Ever heard of "early retirement"? But I suppose an extended vacation could work just as well.
Either way, Clive will have to take charge. I do hope you'll continue to support him.
