Adrian was convinced that he had found the perfect notebook for the weekend's events. It was in all the right colors in a tie-dye circle formation on the front, with a pale pink heart in the middle of the cover. It was spiral bound, but had plenty of pages of thick paper inside.
He'd also found a set of nice pens at a cheap price. He took one out of the package and set the extras nearby, hoping that no one would come along and take them.
Inside the front cover, he wrote the occasion and the date, so no one would forget.
He set the book and the pen open on a little side table where they were easily seen, but not easily bumped into. With that, he left to finish the rest of the planning.
There was still so much to do...

It couldn't have been more than a few minutes after Adrian had set the book and the little pen on the table. A polite knock was issued at the door, and, after only a second or two, the knob was turned, and said door swung open. A small woman slipped inside, her long, silver hair swept back with a simple headband. Her hand was grasped tightly by a girl no more than twelve or so, her grass-green locks only adding to how bizarre they looked. The little girl was carrying a brightly-colored bag--obviously a birthday gift.
"Hold on to that a bit longer sweetie, until we find Mr. Adrian. You'll like him, and Malachite too, so don't worry." Tsunake spoke gently to her adopted daughter, casually flipping open the book and taking up a pen.
Mal; I can‘t believe how old you've gotten! I remember how small you used to be--you were such a cute kid. And now, you've grown up, still cute, but oh-so sexy too. wink Have a great day, kiddo, and may life give you wings so you can soar.
Love, Tsunake and crew.
A bit corny, a bit sappy, but she was satisfied with it. Sauda’s eyes flicked over the message curiously before she offered a quiet smile. "You‘ve known Mr. Malachite for a while then?" Tsunake ruffled the girl‘s hair affectionately and gave an absent-minded nod.
"C‘mon. Oh Adriaaaan…" She called, stepping through the house and tugging Sauda behind her.

Aponi was a bit surprised at first when Emo's car pulled along the half circle driveway to the amazing Karlet house, seeing as he hadn't been there since he was a child, and everything seemed just as big as it once had-- from the outside, that is. Straightening his colar and checking his make-up one last time, the teen opened the car door and just about bounced to the stoop.
He was so excited, and you could tell, because he hid it terribly. Whining for his Mum to come along, he knocked and quietly stepped inside, waiting impatiently for Emo who was taking a large box out of the trunk, and navigating blindly to the door and into the house. Nearly tripping over herself, she placed the heavy box along side the side table, sighing.
"Thanks for the help-- he's your little friend, why don't you ccarry this behemoth thing?"
"Oh, shush-- I'm thinking."
Aponi had already leaned over the table, a pen in his right hand, foot tapping in thought. He had a bd habbit of chewingpens, but seeing as these appeared to be rather nice pens, he held bak the urge to sink his teeth into the pen's cap. He smiled, finally touching pen to paper, Emo adjusting the bow on the present fitfully.
Malachite,
I remember the day I first met you, and shared with you my now tattered and overloved sheep plushie-- and it doesn't seem at all like i've known you so long. I guess we're all growing up too fast. Just being near you brightens my mood, and your happy go lucky attitude has helped me become more confident without even knowing it-- I hope you know how wonderful a person you are! Your one of the few people involved with my life, and I wouldn't trade your friendship for the world. I love ya, and Happy birthday!
♥ Aponi

Quote: "They're here early."
"Well, he didn't give them an exact time. He had other things on his mind."
"I'm sure. I'll take the ones that just came in, you keep the others from wandering too far?"
"Good plan. Let's do it."
Though Kaleb and Soco decended the stairs quietly, the sound of their footfalls still echoed off the walls of the entrance hall. Since the occasion was somewhat casual, they were wearing their usual outfits. Once they reached the bottom, Soco unhooked the red rope to let Kaleb and himself pass, and then reattached it to the pole.
Kaleb approached the two at the guestbook, giving the boy a once-over. He seemed familiar, but then again, Kaleb hadn't seen many of Mal's friends in recent weeks. "Hey," he said. "Welcome to the party. Are you Aponi?"
Soco followed after the two ladies. "Good day," he called quietly. "Can I help you?"

(( Due to circumstances beyond my control...
RP from my end may not be very timely. Feel free to meet and greet with others who are around, but interaction with Adrian and company may be... delayed.
Sorry. ))

Without any warning at all, a brick with a piece of paper tied to it is thrown through one of the windows.
You untie the paper from the brick and find a note hastily written:
Quote: Hey Kid~ Congrats at not being shoved off to some strangers place like that other brat kid.... and for having the misfortune of making it to your birthday. Make sure to get royally smashed or I'll have to break your legs. -just kiddin! -Dt .... oh, and here's ten dollars for the window.

Mako headed up the Karlet mansion's driveway, gift in hand, peering back over his shoulder to make sure Lucavi was following. The boy caught his gaze and glared back, following him begrudgingly. His holey boots scuffed against the pavement as they neared the mansion, the toes of his boots knocking carelessly against each step up to the stoop, denoting their arrival.
Mako knocked politely on the door before pushing it open and peeking in. Seeing that some people had already arrived, he took a step in, signaling Lucavi to follow. Thankfully, he had managed to drag Luca here on a cleaner day, after a rather mandatory bath, though while his skin and hair were clean, his clothes were still rather tattered, despite their being his best. And while his hair was clean, it still seemed to mirror the unruliness of his clothes, being scattered everywhere.
Smiling and nodding to the other guests, Mako made his way up to the guest book as Lucavi closed the door behind him. Picking up the pen with his free hand, he tapped the capped end against the paper thoughtfully for a few moments before flipping it over and leaving his message to the birthday boy.
Mal - it seems only yesterday that you were the skittish little shock of bright green hair, but look how you've grown! It's been a privilege to watch you grow into the wonderful boy I know today, but you've still got some growing to do yet, and I'm sure you'll become greater still.
A very happy birthday to you!
~Mako and Lucavi
Hoping Luca wouldn't mind that he signed his name...moreover, hoping that Luca wouldn't read the entry, Mako set down the pen and turned to offer a smile to the others in his presence as Luca sulked in the background.

The Theif of Always and Kilayla were the next to arrive, and the certainly didn't go through the front door--despite Kiki's attempts to tell her guardian that she knew full well where the door was. He simply smiled, and shooshed her. "I'm teaching you to be a cat," he said, and she quieted.
Though it was usually against his nature to go toward the sounds of people after he'd just snuck into someone's house, he did; this was to be a party, after all!
He laughed down at Kiki when she told him that sneaking in probably wasn't very polite.
At some point, the two ended up standing before the guestbook. Theif scribbled something in it, then took a folded up peice of lined paper from the pocket of his dark, tight fitting pants, and tucked it between the pages. Kilayla said aloud, "Where's Soco?"
Kilayla was pulled away from the book by a sleeve of the black shirt she was wearing under the green heart top she'd grown so fond of. Theif said to her as the went back again toward the sounds of people, "Soco is going to be busy, babydoll. But there will be plenty of other people here that you could get to know..."

"WHAT THE F----!"
Hana had been in the front room when the brick smashed through the window and whizzed past her head. She grabbed it, dashed to the window, and looked for the culprit to throw the brick back at.
There was no one in sight, of course.
Muttering obscenities, she unwrapped the note -- and $10 bill. Grating her teeth together she marched out into the hall to tape the note into the guestbook.
"SOCO!" she barked. "Front room has glass all over the place!"
She then turned and skulked into the kitchen, slamming the door behind her.
Seemingly out of nowhere, Soco dashed onto the scene, skirts billowing out behind him. He gave Kilayla a quick kiss on the forehead before grabbing a broom and dustpan and running into the front room.
"Ladies and gentle... are there any men here?" Kaleb appeared in the doorway of the dining room. He cleared his throat and continued his announcement, "Could you all please gravitate into the dining room over here, for the time being?"
He pointed out which table was the one for presents, eyeing the rather large package a woman and her... son...? had brought in. He put on some easy-going music, and then moved to the tables of food. "Please, help yourself to the chips, cookies, and salads, as well as the canned drinks in these containers." He lightly kicked one of the coolers for emphasis. "If you need anything, see Soco or myself. Adrian is upstairs having a nervous breakdown, so do not be alarmed if you hear further smashing of windows and objects."
Kaleb gave a wide grin and made his way to the door, only to turn around and add as an after thought. "Do not touch the pinata!"

"The hell?!" Mako jumped and spun around, his eyes darting from the broken window to the brick on the ground. The shattered glass laying around it glinted in the sun light pouring in from the broken window above. Then something else caught his eye - Luca inching towards the glass, his eyes full of intent. "Luca! Come on! We're going into the other room!" he yelled to the boy after all the Karletians bustled about, Caleb having made his announcement.
Luca scowled, waiting for the crowd of people to make their way into the other room before following slowly, sparing the guest book only a glance before moving on. Mako made his way into the room with the rest of the crowd, moving to set his present on the designated table.

Macyn frowned he hated being late but Kitty had just informed him that there was a birthday party and everyone was invited so he'd had to by the guy a gift it was only polite then he spent an hour and a half at the mall because he didn't know what to get. Picking out a skirt and some nail polish he headed home to wrap it were Kitty handed him a gift that was from Kenna.
Putting it in the bag with his he headed over to the party, going in he, looked around nervously after all the only person he'd really met was Hobo and Sauda. Looking for a spot to leave his gift he frowned as he scanned the room not reconizing anyone.

Tsunake had turned at the voice--and was practically scared out of her wits when the brick flew through the window. Nails seemed to extend into razor-sharp claws, and her unnaturally pointy teeth were bared in an instinctive, maternal instinct. Sauda jumped about ten feet in the air, immediately shuffling her feet embarrassedly and peering at the tiger girl who had snatched it up.
"Mom, we're supposed to go to the dining room." Sauda said after a moment, glancing up at her mother. Tsunake blinked, then flushed, clearing her throat and straightening. "Right, go on then. Still got the present? Good." Much to her surprise, Sauda suddenly brightened, her eyes fixed on a teenager who looked rather nervous.
"Macyn!" In an instant, she had made her way over, smiling happily up at the older boy while she clutched the birthday gift at her side. "It's nice to see you again."

spyder and hobo made their way into the front hall after knocking on the door very softly. upon entering spyder proclaimed 'is there anyone here?' very loudly then went about signing in the guest book
i know i haven't seen you much and my boy here ain't even met you but happy birthday anyways and i'm sure i'll get you drunk by nights end ^_^
spyder and hobo
she signed for hobo knowing full well he wouldn't even touch the thing and left a $100 dollar bill folded neatly in the page since they didn't get a gift.
hobo went in search of someone to tell them not to give spyder any more alcohol since she had enough before leaving the house and to try to get a drink himself.

Soco felt eyes on him and glanced up just as Lucavi was stalking away. He shook his head and finished cleaning up as much of the glass as possible. He then got up to go get some plastic and tape for the window.
Meanwhile, a curious feline and preteen duo snuck over to the guestbook. Rayen, who still prefered walking around on all fours, got up on his feet to get a better view, and flipped through the pages.
Than glanced at them, and then up at Rayen.
"Lotsa people already here," Rayen murmured.
Than glanced through the open door of the dining room and grunted in agreement. "Mmn."
"I can't read all these~" the cat complained, brow furrowing. "Can you read all these?"
Than peered at the book again, blinked, and then shrugged.
Rayen sighed. "You're no help!"
Than almost smiled.
"Hey, look! Monies!" Rayen held up the two bills that had been stuck into the book. "Mal's gonna be rich!"
The blond eyed the money, got a shifty look to his eyes, and snatched them. He ran off down the hall, with Rayen hot on his heels the entire way.
Soco nearly tripped over them, but didn't make any move to stop them. He returned to the front room and patched the window in silence. Once done, he set his supplies some place out of the way, and crossed the entrance hall to the dining room doorway.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he said, bowing, "I'm Soco. If you need anything at all, come and see me."
That said, he stepped to the side to observe the guests.
(( As a note... there is no alcohol to be found in the mansion. So Spyder is out of luck. blaugh ))

Macyn smiled at Sauda, leaning down to give the pretten a light hug. " Hey Sauda, it's good to see you too." He straightened up and looked around. " Do you know we're supposed to go with these?" He asked holding up a smily face bag. " I have to give on right to the birthday boy."
