Party in the Big Easy - Happy Birthday Corey!
Corey's birthday was easy to remember. Fittingly, it was on Earth Day and Irina and Lyta had been /planning/. Corey was like a little brother to them and they were going to make sure that his birthday was celebrated with a big fuss.

Irina left the catering and party supply part to Lyta. Organization was not one of Irina's strong points, it almost wasn't a point at all. Irina took care of the guests. She had delivered invitations to all of Corey's friends in Westchester and his family in Nova Roma last week with a promise to transport them if they wanted to go. She didn't mind playing taxi for events like this.

Corey wasn't hard to get a gift for, but the kid didn't think much about new clothes or shoes for himself, so in addition to an Ark Irina got him some clothes and shoes. She also got him some shade-grown chocolate bars.

When it was time, she went to fetch the invited guests.

	Cait wasn't going to miss Twerp Major's birthday. She had made him his favorite cookies, some garum and had been saving money for a gift of trees along with a flock of chicks and a flock of ducks. It was also a chance to go to New Orleans. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Corey is immensely grateful and quietly says things he would publicly avoid. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Lucas doesn't have much money for gifts, so he did his usual thing for special occasions instead. He figures, other than the Hrimharisdottirs, Corey is the one most likely to especially appreciate this.

Aside from the fish, which is fresh and local, all of the food is made from Lucas' garden. Most of it is as close as he could approximate to South American cuisine. He ground the corn flour himself, sun baked the tortillas, and slow cooked the beans and vegetables under a low-coals fire to make a totally sustainable meal that didn't even use electricity in any step.

	Corey gushes appreciatively about the food -- with the standard jokes about Lucas showing him up. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	As with most occasions that involve a lot of company, and might involve partying that doesn't involve booze and loud music, Nick makes himself scarce. He does, however, leave some good wine, both of the cooking and non-cooking varieties. If he can't get Corey drinking the hard stuff, at least he can support the drinking and alcohol use he does partake of. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Nick will get a 'Thanks, Dude,' note. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Rufus did what Rufus does best for Corey’s birthday and that was make a lot of fire. But at least this time it was used creatively instead of its usual destructive purposes even if he had accidentally set his room on fire a few time. He had burned Corey’s name into a large piece of drift wood and did his best to burn into it a greenery looking design. While it wasn’t great it was definitely more than most people would have expected Rufus to be able to do.

	Corey beams. "It looks awesome, shortstack." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks Corey," Rufus says grinning, "Happy Birthday." "You do know you won't be able to call me that for much longer right," he says smirking, "I'm getting taller." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Lyta took care of the catering and decorating, making sure that all of the food used natural ingredients. For her present, she gave Corey ten-thousand dollars to donate to the cause of his choice. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	And it's all much appreciated and.... Corey goes wide-eyed as he looks at the money. She is pounced for a hug. "Do you have any idea how many llamas this is?" (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Amara and Bobby would not miss one of their kids' birthday and now that Tax Season was over, Bobby was in a good mood. They brought garum, shade-grown chocolate and new clothes as gifts. (Reply to this)

After Harmony had shut down his first idea for Corey (it involved hiring the lad female companionship for the evening), Argo had been hard pressed to decide what he wished to get Corey for his birthday, and not to repeat the last gifts he had given.

Ultimately, he had bartered favors with Demeter (a few hours for several days putting his muscles to work in her gardens and fields), in exchange for seeds from Olympus itself.
