Spring Party!!

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Spring Party!!

Spring Party!!

Happy spring, everybuggy! A season of rebirth and blooming, a time I’ve awaited for far too long! And so, in celebration of the sun’s return, me and my AEs have decided to host a party, just as we did a few years ago! Perhaps it will become a tradition ;)

This party will be hosted in a field surrounded by trees and a few hills. The field has quite a few flowers in it, and the grass is tall enough to reach one’s ankles. And of course, it’s a wonderfully warm (but not sweltering) spring day!

There will be a snack table filled with cookies, fruit and a few vegetables, as well as various drinks! Music will also be provided, though songs can be requested and added to the playlist. The dress code is mildly fancy but not “ball-fancy”, just a little nicer than day-to-day wear.

The only main rule is that you need to have fun! If you ever feel stressed out due to this RP, please remember to take a break if you need it! This is not a requirement or complete obligation, just make sure you are enjoying it :)

Here’s the form!! <3

Name:

CBer or AE?:

Age:

Pronouns:

Appearance (including outfit):

Basic personality:

Are you bringing anything? (not required):

For AEs, shipping?:

Other:

 

Alright, I think that’s about it! There is no specific start date, so feel free to begin whenever you please, but it would be nice if a few people sign up before the RPing begins :)

I hope to see you all soon~!

...oh man my AEs haven't been to an AE party in so long. easter weekend/spring break's coming up so i'll probably have more free time :D only two of them are going, so let's decide who to torture >:)

Name: #Vanadium#

CBer or AE?: #AE#

Age: #like 15? idk#

Pronouns: #he/they/she# 

Appearance (including outfit): #A bit short, light skin, shaggy black hair a little longer than chin length with blue streaks in it, and piercing blue eyes. I didn't want to dress up but PANGOLIN made me, so I'm wearing a dark flannel shirt over a black tank top, black jean shorts, Converse sneakers, some silver bracelets, and a silver necklace with a little moth pendant. Also a little eyeliner.#

Basic Personality: #I'm snarky, independant, and irritable. I don't really like people. Or parties. I love the ocean, music, photography, cryptids, and ghost stories.#

Are you bringing anything?: #Just my sunny personality.#

For AEs, shipping?: #No.# Yes open to anyone, and he could also use some friends! #I don't need any friends >:0#

Other: #When can I leave??# 

~

Name: Nix! (formerly Barnacle :])

CBer or AE?: AE 

Age: Um I think I'm 15 or 16 by now

Pronouns: he/him

Appearance (including outfit): Tall and lanky, tanned skin with freckles, short dark horns atop messy light brown hair, sharp features, and a pair of giant hawk-esque wings. Pangolin also forced me to dress up, so I'll be wearing a button down printed with little pizza slices, a pair of slacks, the dumbest pair of boat shoes I could find. 

Basic Personality: I'm extroverted, upbeat, supportive, and athletic. I'm a bit chaotic and love telling dad jokes. I love waffles.

Are you bringing anything?: Tater tots :D

For AEs, shipping?: Um...it's complicated. He's technically shipped with Chaser & Jay's AE Friendo, but they haven't really been around lately, so idk if that's still happening. I'd rather focus on making friends for him, anyway. (but if that ever changes, he's open to guys.) 

Other: Yayy

OMG, pangolin, Vanadium sounds like the PERFECT person for Ty to talk to!! They are like, the same attitude 100%, especially towards shipping, friends, parties, and generally going anywhere. Maybe they could both talk with each other? Like, extremely reluctently ofc :D

submitted by @pangolin, it's H*
(March 23, 2024 - 7:17 pm)

ooh, yes, they do sound very similar! i'm sure they'd have a lot to talk about XD yeah, i'd love for them to talk at the party!! they'd probably meet while they're both sulking in the corner, or something lol

hmm, looking over Vanadium's form, I thought of something - maybe he could be shipped with Stormi? (my very-dramatic very-intense AE) idk if they'd go well together, or if you feel like they'd be a good fit, but... possibly? I could post Stormi's form on the AE Shipping thread if you want to know more about her :)

submitted by Poinsettia@pangolin
(March 23, 2024 - 8:12 pm)

ooh maybe! i was kind of thinking of shipping Vanadium with someone really positive and upbeat who has basically a polar opposite personality? but i can see it working! they can definitely talk at some point so we can see what their dynamic is like :D and yes it'd be cool if you could post her forms on the AE Shipping thread :]

submitted by pangolin, age she/they, Outskirts of the Galaxy
(March 24, 2024 - 8:54 am)

mm, yes, I do see your point; you're probably right. I posted Stormi's form, btw! It's on the last page of the AE Shipping Thread. It's totally okay if you don't want to ship them; it was just a miscellaneous idea :)

Hiii! I saw that Chai wasn't shipped with anyone. Would you maybe want to ship Tigerlily and Chai?

Maybe?

Hmm, we can give it a try! How about we have them interact at the party and see how it goes?

Ronin

I don’t think I’ve ever hosted a party. I know Writing’s other AEs made a different Spring Party a year or two ago, but I wasn’t here yet. So I’m learning as I go.
Me, Dawn, and Writing have been out in the field for about an hour, and everything is mostly set up. There are tables full of fruits and elaborate breads that Dawn made, with some vegetables and sweet tea finishing the spread. Flowers are picked and arranged on the table as well, some bees floating around the bouquets and pollinating away. Fairy lights hang across the few trees, with a few small birds perching near them.
Overall, I think it’s looking good. It’s not too fancy. Not too simple. Dawn made a few of my safe foods, too, so I’m excited for that. Hopefully this will all be fine - I really doubt anything will go wrong, though.
I’m in charge of the music, so I connect my phone to some speakers and let the playlist begin. “Girls” by Girl in Red starts it off. Most of the songs are quiet and able to blend into the background so people have conversations along with listening.
The guests should be arriving soon, and the final touches are being made. This is going to be awesome!

|Typhoon|

|Let me just get a few things straight here. Firstly, I do not want to be here. At all. Secondly, the only reason for me to leave this tree I'm leaning against would be to a) go get a snack because it looks good or b) go give that squirrel a kick because it's looking at me and obviously thinks they're cute. Which they aren't. Killer whales and opossums are cute, and squirrels aren't.|

~Crescent~

~My idea of a good time is staying at home in peace and quiet and playing piano. Definitely not going to a party. Yet here I am.~

~I glance over at Aries, who looks rather cheerful. He is carrying his plate of ham sandwiches, and I'm carrying a bowl of multicolored gummy bears.~

~I see Writing's AEs at the park in the distance, and I notice a few other AEs maybe also arriving. I follow behind Aries, and nervously decide to go up to a random AE. "Ah, um I'm Crescent, Moon Wolf's AE. How are you?"~

Anyone can talk to Cress if they want.

@Ronin, great music choice! I actually had that song stuck in my head yesterday but couldn't remember where it was from! Now I know :)

We get to the party just as everyone else is arriving and I take in my surroundings. Everything looks beautiful. Spring is finally here, and it's my kind of day - warm enough to feel the sun on my cheeks, but not too hot. There's a nice breeze blowing: strands of hair fly into my face and the grass beneath my feet - I opted to go barefoot today - bends slightly. I'm glad I decided to wear a skirt today, I think, twirling. 

 

***Celine***

***Yay, we're here! I grab my pan of cookies from the back of the car and set them on one of the tables layed out on the field. I remember the first party I went to - Parody had hosted it - and all the fun I had there. The almond tofu I'd brought had been soooo good!! I wonder if I should've brought some here too... but no, I've been wanting to try out my skills baking for a while now, and this is the perfect opportunity!***

 

¥+Ember+¥ 

¥+We've arrived at the party and I can't help marveling at all the decorations. Fairy lights are strung around a few trees; and there are flowers and fruits everywhere, pollinated by buzzing bees. One of the AEs already here - I remember Saffy telling me her name was Cress - walks up to me carrying a bowl of gummy bears. ~"Ah, um I'm Crescent, Moon Wolf's AE. How are you?"~ she says. I smile at her and say, "I'm Ember, Celi's AE. You can call me Emb. And I'm fine, but I'll be great if those gummy bears are available for eating...?+¥ 

&Paradox&

&I'm still not sure about this party. Celi said it'd be good for me - get out of my comfort zone, maybe even make some friends and all that - but I can't help holding my book tighter to my chest. There are so many strange faces here... was this a good idea? Perhaps I should've fought harder to stay home. I nervously reach up and finger my hair - recently cut short. It feels a bit weird - my hair has been long since forever, and it's only barely covering my ears now - but oddly... nice. Freeing, somehow. Like I've been trapped in a damp cellar all my life and can finally breathe.&

#Vanadium#

#The first thing I notice about the party is that the grass is annoyingly tall - it reaches above my shoes and tickles my ankles, which is very irritating. I knew I should have worn my jeans. I don't know why I let Pangolin talk me into dressing up for once.#

#The second thing I notice is that there are a LOT of people. I don't even think everyone's arrived yet, and even now, there's just way too many people. I hate people.#

#Nix is practically prancing up ahead in those dumb boat shoes, holding his platter of tater tots. I don't know why he's so excited for this party - he won't know any more people than I will. Well, he doesn't seem to be paying any attention to me at the moment, so I bend down and pretend like I'm tying my shoe, but really I'm just stalling. The sun is too bright, and I’m not in the mood for socializing or finger foods.#

#Nix apparently notices my absence, however, and turns around. "Come on, Dia!" he calls cheerily. I grumble something rude at the nickname, but reluctantly stand up and trudge over to him. "Can't you at least pretend you're excited to be here?" he asks. In response, I give him a wide grin that probably looks more like a snarl, and he just laughs.#

#As we reach the others, Nix theatrically presents his tin-foil covered tray, and says, "We come bearing tater tots!” Before he can embarrass us any further, I stalk off, determined to distance myself from him as much as I possibly can. I grab a piece of bread off the snack table, and then find somewhere to sulk until it's time to go home.#

Nix

This is going to be awesome, I just know it. The sun is shining warmly above, bees drift lazily among the sweet-smelling flowers, fairy lights are strung in the trees, and soft breeze is blowing, ruffling my hair and feathers. And it’s my first AE party in forever — almost a year, I think! Wait, has it really been that long since I’ve hung out with anyone? It certainly feels like a long time, anyway, and I’ve been dying to meet some new AEs. 

I walk over to the snack table and set down my platter of tater tots. The table’s piled with all sorts of other snacks - I grab a handful of gummy bears and stuff them in my mouth. Pangolin would probably lecture me about how I shouldn’t be eating so much sugar when I’m already so hyper, but Pangolin isn’t here right now, and it's a party, anyway - you're SUPPOSED to eat sugar. I defiantly shove another gummy bear into my face.

I spot an AE - one of Writing’s, I think - and wave. “Hello!” I say through a mouthful of gummy bears. “Are you one of the hosts? I love the decorations,” I add, gesturing to the fairy lights and flower bouquets.

**

@Hawkstar, do you want to have Ty start the conversation, or should Vanadium?

@Writing, hope this is alright :D

"All right nutcases, we're here." I say, stomping on the break peddle of the sleek, red El Camino. Looking over my shoulder, I glare at Rin "Get off the cealing you little -" Tigerlily claps her hand over my mouth. *% Gloomy, there are children heeeere. %* "Yeah, the only child here IS THE PROBLEM" *% Oh shush you, I can't have my first party ruined by your dark storm cloud personality. %*. I shrug - "Yeah whatever"- Climbing out from the front seat, I place my coffee on the roof of the car as Agua and Strawberry climb out from the front seat and Cori, Tigerlily and Rin come out from the back. "Tigerlily, can you grab the stuff from the bed. Rin, don't leave Cori's side. All right.... we're goin in.".

 

That's all I have rn.
