"What?" Ashlle was stunned. Having never been to a birthday before she had no idea how to react to the spinning confetti. She caught some of it in her hand and seeing that it didn't burn or anything, smiled.
"But my birthday was today. I went shopping but couldn't find anything I wanted to buy, so I decided to explore the castle." Ashlle now whispered to her friend "Um - Mesu-chan? What does one do at a Birthday?"
OOC: It's easier to pretend that this thread started on the 16 of July, don't you think? That way it won't be belated.

Haycee, who had been quietly watching all this time, looked over to the girl that Mesutashi had just wished a happy birthday to. "It's your birthday? Happy Birthday!"
Haycee smiled at the birthday girl, who she had yet to officially meet. "So, your name is Ashlle, right? My name is Haycee...I'm from Ravenclaw house. It's nice to meet you and happy birthday again!"

"Er - thank you" said Ashlle "Yes my name is Ashlle Rainier and it was my birthday today. " Ashlle curtsied politely. "I am from Gryffindor House."
She didn't seem to know what else to do or say. Never in her life had anyone even acknowledged her date of birth before.
" I . . . er could you tell me please, How does one go about having a Happy Birthday?" she asked Haycee hesitantly. It must be something your supposed to do or say that makes a birthday happy, but no one has ever told me what sort of thing that is thought Ashlle What if I ruin my own party by not doing it right?

Haycee was a bit puzzled by Ashlle's response. How does one go about having a happy birthday? Actually, now that Haycee thought about it, that was a good question. "Well, I suppose you just try to enjoy it by dancing, having fun, hanging out with your friends - anything that makes you happy. It's your birthday, so that means it's your special day to do pretty much whatever you want, as long as it's reasonable and doesn't hurt anybody else in the process. You never had anyone celebrate your birthday before? No birthday parties as a child? No cake, balloons, presents, nothing like that?"
It seemed hard to comprehend a life without such things, but then again if she really had had a life without those things it meant that Haycee should be grateful that she got to experience them. Things like that were something Haycee had always taken for granted, but apparently not everybody experienced them.

"Oh well that sounds easy enough." said Ashlle grateful that she didn't have to make a speech or something.
"I have no parents so I haven't ever had a birthday before." she said to answer Haycee's question about parties she might have had as a child. never would she reveal that she'd been in a orphanage for most of her childhood.
The only question that remained was what did Ashlle want to do? She thought and thought and finally an idea came. Once long ago she'd heard a child on the street outside her orphanage speak of something called a Pinata and how it worked. The object of the game was to break it open with a stick. Ashlle hadn't been able to find out why one broke it open. Perhaps today she could find out.
"Since it is my special day I should like to break open a pinata." She turned back to Mesu-chan. "Have you got one of those?" she asked.

"Hmmm..." Haycee thought for a moment. She didn't have a pinata with her at the moment, but perhaps there was a way to conjure one up for her? But then again, maybe Mesutashi had brought a pinata - she was the one who set up the party in the first place.
"Well, I'm sorry to say that I don't have a pinata with me, but maybe Mesutashi does because she set up the party for you. Also, I was trying to think of way to possibly conjure up a pinata, but if there is I don't know the spell or incantation for it." Haycee felt bad that she couldn't help Ashlle. "Is there something else you'd like to do maybe?"

Mesu grinned. "Of course I bought a pinata! Several actually... I just couldn't choose!" She ran over and grabbed a bag from behind a table and unpacked it.
She pulled out a rubber duck like pinata, a kitten one, and one that looked like a big coiling snake. She waved her wand and they soared to the cieling to hang from hooks she'd placed earlier. She then handed a bat to Ashlle.
"Just hit it!" She bounced up and down on her heels with excitement. One was filled with candy, one with play jewelery that looked real, and one with magic items from in Hogsmeade. "And yes, anything else you'd like to do Miss Ashlle?"

Fuu was in daze she had walked up to random people and asked them yo hardcore dance with her. She was quite sucessful, there was a small group on the other side of the hall dancing like idoits.
She walked over to Mesu and glomped her but held on to her. "Heeeeey, what are those?" she asked looking at the items in her hands.

"Oh!" said Ashlle liking the look of the pinatas and the feel of the bat in her hand. "If I think of anything else you'll be the first to know." she assured her friend.
Then she took out a kerchief from her pocket (one never knows when they will come in handy) and tied it loosely around her eyes. Then she spun herself around on the spot three times as the girl who had explained it on that long ago day had instructed. Then (because of her unerring sense of direction) she made a beeline to the fat snake pinata.
As she walked toward it she used the bat like a bilnd man's walking stick, swishing back and forth in the air till it hit the snake pinata. Knowing she had only three hits, She waited till the thing had almost stopped swinging then smacked it with such a force she could clearly hear it crack.
She waited again for it to stop swinging then batted it once more, hard. Again the cracking sound for breaking paper but although the poor snake was loosing his shape nothing yet fell out.
"Next!" said Ashlle joyfully, lifting her kerchief-turned-blindfold to hand it to the next person.

"Oh, can I be next?" Haycee herself had never had the opportunity to break open a pinata and it looked like fun.
She took Ashlle's blindfold and wrapped it around her own head. Spinning around three times, the lunged forward with the bat and swung at the air. Her first swing made no contact with anything solid.
The brunette Ravenclaw decided to rotate herself a little to the left in the hopes that she would actually hit something this time. With her second swing, there was a loud crack and Haycee knew she had hit one of the pinatas!
Waiting a moment in order for the pinata to stop swinging and get in to place, Haycee mader her final swing to most powerful of all. Another loud crack rang out and Haycee smiled, pleased with herself that at least she hit something!
Removing the blindfold, she saw that it was the kitten-shaped pinata that she had made a dent in. "Okay, who wants to try now?"

Mesu raised her hand and took the kerchief. She bounced over and took the bat as well, wrapping the kerchief around her eyes. She readied herself and swung with all her might. She heard a very loud crack and waited, then swung in the same general direction with the same force. She felt something hit her in the head and giggled.
"Ok, once more!" She swung with more fiercness than ever and this time a bunch of clinking sounds showered from above her and rained to the floor.
She removed the blindfold and saw the rubber duck pinata decimated before her. She grinned madly and started to pick through the play jewelry that had been in it. "Come on, there's bound to be something you like here, I made sure I bought a nice assortment of fake jewelry."
She motioned for others to pick things out. Then she grabbed a tiara and placed it on Ashlle's head with a bright smile.

Ashlle smiled a silly smile. She'd never felt this happy before, except with the help of Shinjiki's magic Bon-bon's, and that experience had been wholly fake. This time the feeling bubbled up from her chest and made her whole body feel like it was floating. She giggled in delight and grabbed some bangle bracelets from the pile of fake jewelry to match her tiara.
The good thing about a Wizards selection of fake jewelry is that it all look as real as any thing could, the way to tell the difference was that it didn't weigh nearly as much. Also the sparkle spells eventually wore off.
"Who's turn is it next?" she asked eager for it to be her turn again. She wanted another crack at that snake.

"If Fuu wishes to give it a try then it is her turn, otherwise, you may go again. I can tell you're itching to." Mesu grinned happily.
She was ecstatic that Ashlle was having fun. The girl hardly ever cracked a genuine smile afterall.

OOC: I sent Fuu a PM about it, hopefully she'll arrive soon - again.
BIC: "Yes, that is fair," agreed Ashlle "Come along Fuu-chan! Give it all you've got!" she called out to her friend joyfully. "You know how a pinata works, right?"
