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 :) ]

[ Hector's not drinking because he doesn't go on them enough. He's too normal. ]

People are getting banned from the forums already?

Oh, yeah. Quite a bit actually! As you can see by those who are knocking back.

[ He laughs. ]

What on earth are they doing to get themselves banned?

[ This is such a nonissue for him. ]

Not a clue! Haha!

[ And he laughs again. Infectious. ]

Fair enough. At least you're behaving yourself.

Yeah, I try to most of the time.

[ he should go off the rails sometime, though. as a treat. ]

[ Brambles in a maid dress, what will he do—

Hector claps him on the shoulder. ]

Keep it up, then. You're a good kid.

[ IT'LL HAPPEN ]

You're gonna call me a kid forever, aren't you?

[ Maid dress dungeon run incoming— ]

At least until you're older than me.

[ He laughs. ]

Which will never happen. So yes.

Haha! Fair enough.

[ he laughs too! ]

Are you having a nice birthday? I'm really glad you put this all together, it's been proper fun!

[ adopting this baby gay immediately ]

I am! I wasn't expecting much from an online meetup, but like you said—it's proper fun.

[ He tries to mimic the accent, but fails, and laughs at his own blunder. Why does this accent sound familiar? Hmm. ]

Where are you from, anyway?

They kept saying "swag."

[ Eyebrow quirk... ]

That's the offense?

Well I told them not to do it and they deliberately disobeyed me. I gotta set a precedent here!

[Hector flashing back to how Pete was as an RA, surely.]

[ HE SURE IS.

Hector briefly pinches the bridge of his nose. ]

I'm sure there's better ways to exert your authority though. That seems pretty minor.

[Since Hector is someone he kind of knows in real life;]

... To be totally honest with you, paly, the first one I did like. Half as a joke. But then things got out of hand.

I think you might've been better off just letting the other "swags" slide.

[ Because if he knows anything about Pete, then it probably had the opposite effect.

...

Wait a second— ]

Wait, you're a forum mod?
