Who ☀ Hector & "everyone"
What ☀ It's Hector's birthday!
When ☀ August 5
Where ☀ Lumina Cloth. Surprise!
Content Warnings ☀ drunk people, will add as needed

[ Arrive at Mac Anu, where the welcome party was held, to find it...empty? A quick look on the forums shows a little edit to Hector's post:

We're popping Lumina Cloth's cherry! See you there :-)

So that's where he is.

In the center of the brightly illuminated nighttime city, Hector's set himself up for his little get together. But since he doesn't have any tables or plates or anything fancy like that, all the alcohol and food he bought from various vendors are just...strewn around the floor. The food is probably still good to eat, though. It's fine. Take what strikes your fancy!

Hector's wearing his outfit again. He lounges on the steps of that funky spinny thing in the center of town, and anyone who gets close enough to hear him will hear music coming from his mic. Give him a break. He's doing his best.

When enough people have gathered, he might actually get up and drag everyone into a drinking game.

So enjoy—eat, drink, mingle, and smack your friends! PvP is enabled here, after all :) ]

You're youngest too, huh?

[Well, he's second to it, but considering his situation with Booker, it's close enough for the topic.]

Do your brothers ever complain that you get spoiled?

[userunfriendly]

...If anything, they were the ones spoiling me. They would drive our mother to distraction.

[ Ah, the parental laments. ]

Yours didn't? Does it all go to the other youngest?

[gluttoning]

Heheh. They must have really loved you, then.

[He knows that he always feels warm and affectionate when he can dote on Booker, so he can't help but wonder if this player's brothers feel the same.]

I guess I got some of it. My younger brother and I are only a few minutes apart. But he's the one we all like to treat special. Even me.

I think he enjoys the attention.

[userunfriendly]

I imagine they did.

[ Steaks' avatar looks too young to field any secondhand drama from Winter here. Actually, in a minor miracle, he smiles a tiny bit. ]

A twin? Are you as close as stories always make it sound?

[gluttoning]

I think we are.

[The fondness in his entire expression just multiplies getting to gush about this particular sibling. The favoritism is not subtle.]

We're not telepathic or anything. That's all myth. But he knows me better than anyone else, and he feels the same about me.

I can't imagine going anywhere in life without him.

[ Strictly speaking, he's not confident that that's exactly healthy. But he bites his tongue on the thought for the present. The sentiment is well-meant, and the fondness is a little infectious. ]

It's difficult to know where the future will take you. But he'll always be your brother. It's a pity he couldn't join the beta, too.
