laszlo's birthday dinner

what's up?

Friends and friendly acquaintances of Laszlo (including Pocket!) received an invitation to attend a dinner party in celebration of his birthday, set for 6pm on Sunday due to the rain that was expected on his actual birthday. It's located at the center gazebo in the friendlier of the two hedge mazes.

Several varieties of plants have been brought in to decorate the gazebo and there are a few carnivorous varieties, including an exceptional specimen of an uncommon magical species of venus flytrap. It has its own place at the dinner table next to Laszlo's seat and has a deep purple present bow tied around the pot with a sentimental card sitting under it. There is a tin of live mealworms nearby if anyone feels inclined to feed one of its thirty heads. They have a healthy appetite and just love to eat out of your hand!

⬦ BEFORE THE PARTY: Whatcha up to?

⬦ HEART OF THE MAZE: Where all the action is!! There are finger foods, entrees, and side dishes laid out for everyone to serve themselves at their leisure. Armani didn't have much luck at the liquor store so there's only Franzia available unless they brought their own to share.

⬦ RECREATIONAL POTIONS: It's fun to put things in your mouth!!! Thankfully, these potions Armani is serving up have been tested and produce a harmless sensory effect that lasts for a few minutes. Oh, but there's a spare small cauldron set aside in case the birthday boy feels inclined to take over.

⬦ PARTY GAMES: There are a few board games to play and a tower of magical giant jenga set up on the lawn. Some of the physics don't work the way you think they should and when the tower topples, it yelps.

⬦ ELSEWHERE: Did they explore one of the mazes? Get lost trying to get out? Was there an after-party party?

⬦ GIFTS: Gift posts go here, if you haven't posted in the comm already!

⬦ OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!: If you want your character to have been invited, they're invited! If you want your character to party crash, they can party crash. 😎 It's supposed to be a low-key event, though, so if they get rowdy Armani will kindly ask Chanel to kick them out.

Armani, Laszlo, and one hungry ?boy(s)!!!

As soon as Laszlo arrives, Armani is very keen to show him his present even if it goes against birthday party etiquette to give gifts before the cake is even cut. But he can't help it! He's too excited!!

Dionaea Medusae is larger, more robust, and far livelier than the typical venus flytrap. This particular specimen is impressive for its kind, with fifty heads that begin to writhe like snakes the moment Armani opens up the tin of live mealworms. They know it's dinner time.

"Aren't they just the cutest?" he gushes, pinching a worm from the tin and heartlessly tossing it toward the plant like one would toss a treat to a dog. Partly because it's a neat trick, partly because nobody wants their fingers bitten.

The heads stretch and snap at it mid-air, eager for their meal. One bites one end, another the other, and in a fraction of a second it's torn to shreds and devoured. Armani looks to Laszlo, starry-eyed, and offers out the tin. "I brought hand sanitizer." Because he knew he'd be touchin' a lot of bugs today.
