WHO: Anyone who wants to come!
WHAT: Cyril plans a surprise party for Sam and Kirk
WHEN: This Saturday
WHERE: Sam and Kirk's home
NOTES: This is the party Cyril started planning here. I'm going to include two header comments for prep before the party, and for Kirk and Sam to come home so everyone can enjoy the 'Surprise!' moment, otherwise, please treat this like a normal mingle post, put in your characters enjoying the party and tag around!

Cyril was pleased with how many had wanted to help with this party. Christine had offered to distract both Kirk and Sam. Adasse had put together some tasty potatoes. Korrin had arrived to help arrange furniture to use the space better for a crowd and had brought spiced wine and sweets. Anders had helped with decorations.

They had done well, even with the food shortage, and the house smelled inviting thanks the the work of everyone coming together.

"Life Day is more common where I'm from, though it gets confusing because there's also a Wookiee holiday called Life Day..." Which was another thing she'd never really celebrated. Since coming to Thedas, she'd learned a lot more about holidays and celebrating small things. Clearing her throat and holding up the box she'd brought she smiles again.

"I know enough that presents can still be appreciated. These you can share, though. I made them myself, with some direction from the kitchen staff." Inside the box are two dozen simple butter cookies, which have been shaped to look like simplified blasters. The cookie cutter that made the shape, which is obviously something Rey hand-made, is also in the box.

Kirk took the box curiously and popped it open to peer inside. He let out a bark of laughter when he saw the cookies, taking one and holding it up, inspecting the shape. He grinned brightly at it, like a kid discovering a new piece of candy. He turned the cookie at Ray, pointing it towards her and cocking his wrist back like he had fired it.

"Bang!" he chortled before taking a bite out of the barrel of the cookie. "These are great, Rey. Thank you so much!"

The smile that spreads across Rey's face as Kirk enjoys his cookie is bright and genuine, the kind she doesn't have often. She's very pleased he likes her gift, as she'd worked relatively hard on it.

"I couldn't get a real blaster working, I was hoping these would be a somewhat acceptable substitute. Happy birthday, Jim."
