[open] // HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GROUND
Who: Waver, Palmon, and you!
What: Certainly not a birthday party. That's silly. You're silly.
When: October 3rd, afternoon
Where: Newbie apartments lobby.
"What - are - you - doing?!" sputtered a horrified Waver. He'd gone looking for his suspiciously absent partner, only to find the plant Digimon decorating the lobby with streamers and balloons mostly in shades of red and gold. She stopped mid-inflating a balloon, surprised enough to let it go and send it rocketing around the room in an erratic streak of scarlet and noise of 'pffthpthpthth'.
"What's it look like?" Recovering from the sudden interruption, Palmon's hands went to her hips (such as they were on both counts) as she responded indignantly. "Don't lie, red and gold are your favorite colors, aren't they?"
"It looks like something I specifically asked you not to do, now doesn't i--who did you invite?!" Flushing about as red as half the decorations, Waver's frustration snapped right back to abject horror in midsentence.
"Nobody...well, nobody specifically. It was kind of an open-ended thing."
And that was all the color draining from Waver's face. This kind of technicolor reaction couldn't be healthy.
"WHY." he demanded in a voice that suggested a nervous breakdown was mere seconds away.
"Why not? You need to get out more and have some fun for once, and this is a perfect chance for it." Waver's arguments were for a moment reduced to emphatic flailing of both arms and choked interjections that were not quite words. It seemed entirely possible that Palmon's insistence on his birthday being a thing that happened may have actually broken the student on some level.
"You...you...you traitor!" Once proper use of the English language returned to him, Waver stammered and threw his hand out to point accusingly at his offending partner. "This is the worst, unforgivable! 'Palmon' isn't terrible enough--your name should retroactively, presently, and eternally be Rafflesia, because you're clearly just as useful as one!"
A tense silence fell between them--tense mostly due to Waver, who looked so angry steam might well have been coming off of his head. In complete contrast, Palmon broke out into a lopsided smile and clapped her hands (vines? leaves???) together.
"You're doing that thing where you pretend you're angry when you really aren't. And you even gave me a nickname! You're the best partner ever, Waver." It was then that the indignant magus found himself dealing with an armful of plant giving him a birthday hug.
"What--no! You've got it all wrong! Entirely wrong! You couldn't be more wrong, I-I'm obviously really angry, s-so get off of me!"
Ladies and gentlemen, the defense mechanisms of a Waver Velvet in his natural habitat. You may note flailing, stumbling, and probably even falling over.
And a lot of shouting.
But don't let that stop you from enjoying the impromptu and hastily planned party. There's probably even going to be a cake courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Saori.

So when he and Eurydice went out for the day, Minato made sure to pick up a card on his way back in. It wasn't much, but he didn't know what to get for a gift and that may seem a bit too personal to give to someone he doesn't know.
But when he opens the door and steps into the lobby, he's just in time to witness tail end of the spectacle that is Waver Velvet yelling at a plant.
"Should I just leave this here?" he asks no one in particular, holding the envelope over a table.
no subject
Either way, quite the spectacle. And one that stopped cold at Minato's interruption.
"U-uh..." Waver was suddenly very aware how strange this looked, as well as how strange a first impression it was. "I...er--"
"Come on in~" Palmon interrupted. "Waver needs more friends anyway."
"Y-you--Who asked you?!"
I'm so sorry, Minato.

"We could...pretend it's just a normal party?"
And ignore the fact that it's clearly a party of the birthday persuasion.
no subject
Actually a pretty good idea, he had to admit. If Palmon was going to insist on it even as Waver pried her off of him, then this wasn't a bad alternative.
"...that's not a bad idea."

"We don't want to waste a perfectly good party, don't we?"

"I'm Minato Arisato, by the way."
