I'm afraid he'd think that's lame and girly. Comfortable time with friends might actually make him happy enough to cry, but I think that might be worse.
A shame Chickadees doesn't have the games he likes. Renting that space out for the night might add just enough distraction that he could enjoy himself without thinking about it too much.
yeah, he's really obsessed with shit being girly. you're right.
i was just thinking it'd be lowkey that way, you know, throw pillows and blankets and shit over my suite, i have that giant hot tub. play dumb games, drink, watch movies. do other...sleepover shit that people do. ( not going to admit he asked around about it. )
i don't mind renting out the arcade, but do you think it'd be too kiddie? guy's hard to please. i guess we could do a pool party, but i dunno if he'd like that either. just spitballing.
i'm with you, i want it to be comfortable enough that he doesn't realize he's happy, you know? like he runs out of shit to gripe about and is surrounded by people that care about him and by the time he realizes he's having fun, it's already too late 'cause he's having fun.
No pool party. He's self conscious about those injuries, and I think a party centered around him being exposed would be uncomfortable and alienating. I actually like your idea using your suit, now that you've said more about it. He'll probably be comfortable there.
At some point he should have a chance to do something he's good at. An opportunity for people to praise him without him feeling like we are just placating him.
I could make a bunch of snacks for the night, and enchant a couple things for lively party games.
yeah? you think it'd be okay? i figured dress code is pajamas, and i can tell him to come over in his or something. surprise him with people there, and embarrass him at least a little. you do the good food and party games, i'll buy the unhealthy snacks and booze. pick up some dumb movies and find some music, pad out the suite.
was thinking instead of bringing birthday gifts, maybe we have a guest book or something where people write messages and then we give it to him after. that way he won't bitch about people spending money on him.
what do you think for the guest list? send the invite out resort-wide, or just to his buddies? i don't really know a lot of people he's close with, but maybe you do?
Resort-wide invite might just get him depressed if some people show up just to take advantage of the party and not pay attention to him. I think he's had problems with being included before, but I don't know the specifics.
Aak, Marco, and Broca are a few names I know that he might want to see there. I might probe a bit for more names, but I think your guest book is a good idea. These are all incredibly [surprisingly] sweet. I think he'll have a good time.
if you can farm him for the guest list, we can let everyone know near the beginning of april or whatever. you can do up little invites since i figure you're good at that.
No, I just had the watch generate something for me for Christmas. In fact I was so bad at it I ended up inviting the wrong person with "GEN" in their name.
What type of party games do you think will be fun? I know he'll probably call everything lame to seem cool, but he'll probably enjoy himself more with some over others. Maybe nothing that requires use of his depth perception? Maybe games of chance with little rewards or punishments?
Example - drawing straws, and the shortest straw is enchanted to make the loser have a weird hair color for the rest of the night. Or losing Old Maid gives you a squeaky voice. I'm open to other suggestions.
in that case, i'll handle invites. just get me the list of people.
i like those ideas. thinking truth or dare should be in there 'cause that feels pajama party-y, right? strip poker? guess we're all probably tired of poker...
i heard about 'spin the nail polish bottle' which is kinda funny. but guess he'd whine about it being girly. or that game where you have like glasses of nasty shit...like soy sauce roulette or wasabi roulette. you know you like, pick a glass and down it and like one of them has something really nasty in it that you don't know til you drink it.
That can be any kind of bottle, you know. One beer into the night and you'll have us ready for it. The shot roulette sounds fun. I think he'd get pissy over twister, though.
I never spent time with "friends" outside of school, and my sister was separated before we had a chance to play games other than cards and tag. Most of my suggestions will be from movies. "Never have I ever," I think was considered a classic? Strip Truth or Dare since poker is on the nose, or would Two Truths and a Lie be better?
I don't know. I'm still stuck on all the things I could bring in for that shot roulette. I have a lot.
Yeah, younger sister. She was around for a bit, but I think she might be a statue now.
Knowing some of us in the group "Truth or Strip" might be the more compelling spin on things. Ration your clothing carefully or you'll be naked and can only answer the truth for the rest of the game.
If that's the case, then yes. If I find her and you're able to have her moved somewhere like my suite then I'll repay you back in kind. Whatever that may mean to you.
Do you want to speak terms now, or after? I know she isn't around anymore. I went to find her on her birthday, and her suite had been replaced, and I cannot contact her on the watch.
I find it absurd that I'm honest with you about my sister and you're acting like I need to be cracked like an egg.
If I can get her in a spot where I can monitor her then maybe her being stone isn't exactly terrible. Less chance for someone to hurt or manipulate her. Less surveillance I have to keep to make sure no one upsets her. Less I have to worry about her snapping and killing off or consuming a bunch of people.
Opposite of you, maybe. Typically she's a doormat. Over-polite, and shy. Though I wouldn't be surprised if you had a few things in common outside of that.
Not asking for a more tangible form of repayment is what's so weird.
Anything comparable to the effort it would take to get that statue moved. I can't match you in rank privileges, but I could make you something. Steal something. Get information for you. I'm not sure how much the debt will be.

multiple rounds of shot roulette would be fun. i leave it in your capable hands.
