I can't believe he's put up with this bullshit for a year now. and I can't believe I'm putting myself in the same category as Asher but guys like us just aren't cut out for this, you know?

[Yet Asher has somehow managed to stay afloat. Connor wonders if he'll ever stop feeling as if he is drowning.]

I'll help with a party. he deserves it big time.

[Look at them, being civil for a change...]

[pummelling]

[The memories of the year gone by seem to speed past behind Jin's eyes, a recording on fast-forward, skipping by scene by scene and day by week by month. Asher's done so much. For himself, for others. For him.]

He's stronger than he thinks he is. [And Connor, by extension.] You'd be surprised.

[At the agreement, Jin smiles faintly, turning the jewel over in his palm.]

Thanks. We're gonna need to go all out for this.
You were [uhhhhh] classmates??? For a while? anything you know about what he'd want in a birthday party that i wouldnt?

[sadgay]

I've seen his biceps. doesn't mean he's ready to take the robo-minotaur by the horns.

if you're dating him you probably already know his sometimes questionable taste in music. what do you have planned so far?

[pummelling]

I was thinking more along the lines of character strength, but y'know what? that too.

[also have you seen his lats. and his pecs. and the rest of him.]

Its not that q
ok it's a little questionable [sORRY BAe] but we can work with that for a party soundtrack at least.
I was... kinda winging it, I don't really do parties all that much. But I know he does.

[sadgay]

[The sort of strength that Jin talks about is even harder for him to understand. Muscles one could reasonably attain through weightlifting and training, but how does one grow their inner strength? He says nothing, however, and focuses on the far less knotted question of what to do for Asher's birthday.]

he does like to dance. his moves aren't even half bad.

and he's a recovering frat boy so beer pong should be a given. it'll keep him young.

[pummelling]

[learning repeatedly how to deal with intense emotional trauma tbh coñer

Jin chuckles down at his jewelcomm. Well, he knew half of that.]

I figured out the first one myself. It. really is surprising. [how the fuck does he twerk one cheek at a time??] also, beer pong? People really play that? I thought it was just a TV thing

[sadgay]

people like Asher really play it.

and I'm sure he puts those sweet moves to plenty of good use. ;)

[pummelling]

[sweats]

Not birthday relevant but yeah

[sadgay]

well no but you can save it for the after party.

or the pre-party.

[pummelling]

I dont even know you. I'm not talking about this with you

[sadgay]

that's ok

I'll just get all the sordid details from Asher

[pummelling]

[god asher would. why]

MY SEX LIFE ASIDE.
I bet he likes cake too. Do you know how to bake a cake? Because I sure dont.

[sadgay]

I've got this

I mean as long as we can find a box mix

[pummelling]

we can totally do better than a box mix

[sadgay]

says the guy who has no idea how to bake a cake

maybe there's a cookbook we can use in the library

[pummelling]

Yet.

[HE'S GONNA DO HIS BEST, GODDAMMIT.]

Sounds good. We've got that covered, I guess.
Anything else you can think of? C'mon. Wrack your brain.

[sadgay]

we've got music, games, and cake, so all that's left is snacks to balance the sugar intake and booze to liven everyone up

[pummelling]

I don't actually drink either, so the booze part's on you.

[sadgay]

and you were the one I was most looking forward to seeing drunk. bummer.

[Although if Oliver is invited, then Connor won't be able to drink either. It's a long story...]

[pummelling]

[he knows how you htgawms work by now. you don't need to tell him.]

Sorry to crush your hopes and dreams. After the space wine got me last year, I'm not taking any risks.

[sadgay]

well I guess that means there's more for the rest of us

so now I'm in charge of the drinks, the beer pong, the cake... think you can scrounge up a few bowls of chips?

[pummelling]

Hey, we're doing the cake together. And I'm rounding up the cavalry with invites, chances are you don't know all his friends here yet.

[don't u pull this shit on him coner welsh]

I got it. We'll see what the kitchens give us, but I got it. [God help the two of them. The kitchens might not give them shit.]

[sadgay]

ok, here's your validation

let operation birthday for the bi wonder commence
