Ravi clanked his empty glass against theirs, though perhaps a little too hard - was that a crack he noticed in his glass? Had that always been there? He doubted it, just like he doubted that We`rika's face was really that blurry looking in real life. Ravi had never been able to hold his liquor well, which was why he decided against drinking in the first place - he tended to get a little TOO "loose" and "relaxed" when inebriated, a weakness that tended to get him in trouble.
He stumbled over to the mini fridge behind the bar and grabbed himself yet another water, hoping it would mellow out the effects of the drink in his system. The... cake? Despite how good it looked, he'd forgotten all about it. He'd forgotten all about his hunger, in fact, with the intense embarrassment he'd been drowning in for the past hour. "The hors d'oeuvres, too," he blurted, thought transforming into sound before he had really meant it to. "Did either of you eat?"
...Okay, so it wasn't the nicest idea to eat the food made for someone else. But drunk as he was, Ravi couldn't see why food, which was made to be eaten, wouldn't be made to fulfill its sole purpose. He couldn't ignore the guilt pangs, however, so he said, somewhat slurred, "Save a piece or two for Kyou... you know how much he likes sweets."

live was staring towards the pinata in which people took so much fun to bash down, hrdly any successfully taking out the contents.live thought he might give it a go so he heads towards the pinata, takes a stick after blinding himself and took one foul swoop.
edit: being a complete dolt that he is, he realised that the party ended yesterdy and he must have fallen asleep in that dark corner. Finding no reason to stay, he quietly lft the building

The growl of Natsuki's stomach was a clear indicaton that she hadn't eaten nearly enough, regardless of picking at a plate of food earlier in the evening. Cake... oh man, cake sounded divine, especially since she was the one who slaved over the hot ovens all morning making the darned thing. Following suit with Ravi, Natsuki ambled over to the cake, as We`Rika's Texas Tea prepared to knock her out like a light.
"Let me handle this one, Ravishing, Darling," Natsuki giggled in a bubbly tone, taking the cake knife and the serving knife. She carefully removed to top layer with shakey hands and set it on a plate. Naturally, half would be Chloe's and the other half, Kyou's. Carving up the second layer, she put three heaping pieces on plates for herself, Ravi, and We`rika, before starting in on slicing it up for the other guests in the event they wanted a piece to take home.
"Cake's served, Folks! Come and get it," Natsuki called, waiting for the song to fade out.

On the other side of the room, Shuura, having decided that she had enough of the increasingly nerdy party scene and the increasingly undressing Jules, was just about to leave when her out of the corner of her eyes she caught something interesting being waved about. A check, to be exact. Squinting slightly in the dim light, her sharp eyes caught something even more profoundly interesting.
The check was blank.
A sly smirk spread across the black-haired girl. Opportunity was saying hello. Tossing flyaway strands of her ponytail over her shoulder, Shuura stalked over to the obviously drunk girl. ...Polka dots, flowers and glitter? A slender eyebrow raised. What on earth was this woman wearing? And why would someone be here if they didn't even know the people who's birthday it was, anyways? Shuura thought flabbergastedly, obviously choosing the overlook the fact that she didn't realize who's birthday it was herself. Well, at least she knew Chloe and the 'Doc, and wasn't making a fool of herself waving around (a blank, no less) check right next to the person who---s**t.
She became momentarily distracted. The tail was definitely the Doc, undoubtedly, but the horns were....now hidden in a huge afro. Doctor K??! The man had quite obviously been at the bar when she was there earlier, but she hadn't recognized him.
A frown forming on the teenager's peturbed face, Shuura choose to ignore the state of disheveledness of the doc for now, and instead brushed by the woman reeking of alcohol, snatching the check out of the air with two fingers as she did so. "I'll take care of that for you," she murmured as she walked past. "Go sit down and don't worry your pretty head about it, you won't remember until you sober up considerably." Ah, sarcasm. Shuura's voice, although kept low, was dripping with it.
Not stopping her pace until she was a good distance away from the poor drunk girl, the opportunistic teenager turned her focus to the check in her hands, planning to scribble her own name in the blank field as soon as she got the chance....until she took a good look at the amount written. ...the hell. 6 million? Shuura hissed angrily. The stupid girl WAS drunk, and probably delusional to boot! No one dressed in that manner could possibly have that much gold to their name. It was utterly ridiculous. Shuura had no doubts that if she tried cashing this check, it would just bounce and show up badly on HER credit report as well.
Sighing, the teenager ripped the paper in her hands to shreds and decided to head up back to her own apartment, carelessly tossing the peices into a nearby pot of plastic shubbery against the wall--Jules' idea of "professional decor". "What a perfectly good waste of my time..." the girl grumbled irritably. Not bothering to check up on the welfare of her floating charge, the discontented teen slipped out of the ballroom and back up to the confines of her own apartment.

We`rika didn't look much worse for wear, having been an alcoholic for half his life, the only evidence was a red flush that beeted his dark sun-kissed cheeks though he'd probably still forget the events of this party by tomorrow. Poking Ravi in the side as he waded into the fridge for water, he sauntered out from behind the bar and followed Natuki's little a** to the cake.
He wasn't a big fan of sweets, never having many when he grew up, but since Natsuki had worked so hard for them, it would be rude to decline. Besides, how could it not be delicious? "Oh oh! Can... can I have a green layer, ya? Pleeeease?" He bat his eyes at Natsuki cheekily, sitting down beside the knife-wielding woman. In annoying habit, he glanced at his watch, surprised the party had kept him so preoccupied without his usual time keeping, and groaned faintly. It was early morning and he had to be on construction site soon.

"O-oh, good bye darling!" she giggled as Parfait headbutted her and flew off. She was truly such a darling Gwee! Alex was proud of how Chloe had raised the small dragonette. It reminded her that Aphismet had asked about one...and about her own two still outside. She guessed it was time to clean up and go.
Alex chuckled softly at the doctor's perplexed expression. Even she, who made a habit not to drink in public, had some knowledge of these drinks! "Ah, well, good luck in your choices," she said amicably, sliding her card by his elbow. "The words in here are serious," she said with a smile, standing and staightening her shirt that the Gwee had been nested on, "so, please...smile. It looks good on you." Alex paused, taking a moment to ponder giving him her standard farewell...but decided against it. If he jumped at her being by him, a kiss on the cheek might send him through the roof! "Happy Birthday, Doctor Kyou," she said, giving him a small wave instead.
She found herself gravitating towards the cake after Natsuki claimed it was time to serve it. At least she'd waited for that, Lorenzo would never forgive her if she left without bringing sweets! "Wow, that looks like it should be on display!" she commented to Natsuki, siddling up to her very tipsy friend. "I'd expect no less from our fabulous lady here." Alex stood next to the lovely cake lady, absently putting her hand on the other woman's back, watching as her friend shakily cut the cake. "You're adorable," she chuckled, before asking, "Could I get a small piece to go? Zoe wont let me hear the end of it if I don't share."
Carefully taking a small piece from her inebriated friend, Alex chuckled and gave her a feather kiss on the cheek. "You did great," she complimented Natsuki, jerking her thumb towards the DJ booth and lifting the cake. "Give me a call when you're free; I'd love to catch up." With a wink and a brief wave to We`rika, Alex left the party with fond thoughts, waiting for the impending Gwee attack that would greet her outside the building.

Jae Eun shook the wobbly feeling off from her head, and looked around. The party was slowly emptying out...perhaps it was time to go? Grabbing her bag over by the wall, she shouldered it casually, stopping by the bar one last time.
"Thanks for the drink barkeep, but I think I'll keep away from that stuff!" she grinned, turning to the DJ next.
"Good tunes! I had a blast!" and finally, to Ravi.
"Ah! We'll have to catch up some other time, I have to go now."
Feeling as though she had said what needed to be said, she gave a small bow, waving over her shoulder as she left the party.

It took a moment for Niksia to realise that the party was starting to clear out. She looked around to all the people filing out, just as she heard Natsuki call out that cake was being served. Clicking her way over to the table and the collected organizers in her heeled shoes, she took one of the offered plates of cake with a faint smile.
'Thank you very much. It was a good party, shame I'm not really in the best condition to enjoy it.'
Niksia took a bit of icing off her piece with a finger and ate it, looking rather happy as she did.
'Good cake too. Hope to see you all again soon.'
Turning about, she headed to the door and waved goodbye with her free hand in a carefree manner. She was very out of sorts, sadly it would be hard for anyone else to tell that.
Someone was going to have a headache later, and without the joy of having had a drink to cause it.

Revanica didn't want to overstay her welcome. It seems that she didn't quite mingle very well anyhow. Well curiosity... least it didn't kill her. She learned valuable things. Birthday parties do happen and this is generally what happens, and Revanica CAN get drunk. Thankfully she was sober enough to realize this and she went to leave the check, now scrawled with two additives: To Dr. Kyou and Chloe. Slpt Mny; 6,000,000.00 Six Million
She watched a few people before unsteadily getting up. They all seemed to go to the DJ and this other person. She figured that she might as well too.
"Awsome music, girl," she drawled to the Dj in passing and handing her the check, "I want'cha to give thish check to tha good doctor and Chloe. Didn' get a chance to myself."
Revanica passed Ravi with a wave and a nod, not really sure what to say since the main thing was handing off the check to someone who could get it to one or the other of the birthday kids. With everything completed she stumbled out the door and crossed the street to her condominium to crash after this bash.

Ravi giggled a bit uncharacteristically when We`rika prodded him in the side. Well, it HAD felt funny, after all! He followed the Huichol over to the cake table, his habit of following others (even if shorter) reemerging from the Partie D'Amour, and watching Natsuki slice pieces of cake. Ravi accepted a pink slice of cake graciously and without argument, too oblivious to the world around him to notice that the slice was a most unseemly color for a man to be associated with. He wasn't a fan of sweets, but this cake was good - it retained a flavor of strawberry, ginger, and heaven knows what else without preservatives stifling the life out of the dish. It was a treat he could appreciate as a cook, a hungry man, and someone growing increasingly drunk. After all, the way to a man's heart was throw his stomach. Not literally, of course. He was almost sad when his plate was empty.
Ravi actually waved amiably when Kim said good bye at her exit. He'd barely talked to the girl, but maybe next time... if there was a next time. He seemed to remember Natsuki mentioning other parties not unlike this one to be held in the future, but with his head feeling as heavy as it was, he couldn't even say for sure which way the ceiling was.

"Here ya go, We`rika, and stop looking at my a**!" Natsuki chuckled, brandishing the cake knives with a wicked, yet playful gleam in her eyes. She leaned on Alex's shoulder, when the Italian woman gave her a sideways embrace. She beamed proudly as the group started in on the cake like a bunch of piranahs on a wounded animal. She looked at the check thrusted into her hand by one of the party goers.
"Thanks for comin'..." Natsuki said, eyeing the seven figure check with great suspicion. Folding it in half, she tucked it into her cleavage for safe keeping. Even if it was a gag, she didn't want someone's present to get lost in the shuffle. With a large portion of the attendees being gate crashers and unfamiliar faces, Natsuki would never forgive herself if someone walked off with such a present, or worse filled in their own name.
"No problem, chickie. Give my best to lil Lorenzo when you get home safely," Natsuki giggled, carefully boxing up the piece in a simple white box with Cafe Jubilee embossed in gold on the side. Wwhispering into her friend's ear, she continued, "I've got the perfect idea, Alexi-darling. Girls' night with pajamas, margaritas, and a sleepover! You, me, and Chloe... at my new place. How about that?"
Seeing how quickly Ravi devoured his piece, Natsuki slid a plate across the table at him, tempting him with another piece. She waved good-bye as Nikisa, Alex and some of the other guests made their way out of the front door.

Aliena had just stepped out from the bathroom when she had heard the birthday cake call for everyone. She apologized at the people in a line waiting to go to the bathroom, although it wasn’t her fault. Rachael had called saying that Takeda was making a fuss because Pasha was trying to climb him and since Ally had made it very clear not to hurt that cat, well the tree was in a sticky situation. Aliena had told Rachael just to keep an eye on the cat so no further problems could arise; the girl agreed and hung up.
Allys stomach grumbled, she sighed she hadn’t had a soul in a little while now, hopefully she could last until after the party to have something to eat. Other then tree and stomach problems, her mind was focused on the brilliant cake. She had to admit it was wonderfully made, she made a mental note to also thank the baker or whoever had bought the cake later on. While she was on the subject of thanking people, she still hadn’t had a word with the birthday people, and seeing as the doctor was now. Sulking it seemed by the bar, she grabbed a piece of the cake and headed over.
“You must be the doctor everyone’s talking about hm?”
She shoved a bit of cake into her mouth and chewed while she waiting for an answer, her skin tingled a little from the magic Kyou seemed to posses.
