[ while Jack is trying to decorate - and you may notice that he's kind of terrible at it, because he has no idea what he's doing here - he seems to be having other difficulties. there's a Froslass clinging to his front, and... something under his fancy new blue cloak? there is a serious hunch on his back, and there might also be claws peeking out from underneath, at his neck. ]

Man, I told you to stay at Lucca's if you didn't want to come! The party did not need Union's two biggest downers to attend. [ those claws dig into him and he laughs. ] I'm just saying, it's weird to be here just so you can, what - hang off me all day? And that includes you, Princess.

[ between his lack of eye (and care) for decorations, and his two Pokémon attachments, this could turn out to be a mess. come rescue it? ]

Those streamers look about as sad as the Pokemon hanging off of you.

[Brilliant commentary from Maka on the ground, looking up at him along with Stella standing next to her. She's fortunate, at least, that since evolving into a Meowstic, Stella decided she's too big to hang out on her shoulders, so it's just her own not-as fancy cloak that's there.]

There isn't even a pattern to them, do you need some help up there?

[nippy]

[ Jack swings out onto the side of the tree, only anchored to the tree by one hand gripping a branch and his foot braced against the bough. (there is some unhappy grumbling from both of his clingy friends at all this movement.) he looks delighted to see Maka, not at all dampened by her comments on his awful decorating skills. ]

Is it really that bad? [ as long as people could see them, he didn't think it mattered what they looked like. ] I've never been to a party, so I don't exactly have a frame of reference for decorations.

[heartandsoul]

Yes.

[Wow, Maka doesn't mince words.]

The colors don't have a scheme, they're all mushed together.

[Hang on, though, she's untying the knot holding her cloak on.]

Stella and I can come up there to help, if you want.

[It's...it's just a tree. It's not that far up. She can fly it, definitely.]

D'you want help?

[Naomi had arrived early, still reveling in the fact that she could leave her house. There's a blanket in her arms as she stops to watch Jack for a while, Cubone standing besides her with a tupperware full of cookies and her Azurill perched on her shoulders.]

[nippy]

[ even though it's a voice he doesn't recognise, Jack immediately scrambles down from the branches to crouch in the crook of the tree he's been decorating; as always, the lure of company trumps all else. and now he has an excuse for it, since Ami had said something about having to be a good host and the party seems to have become his just because he's the one that proposed the idea. ]

Sure! This is pretty boring work, having someone to do it with might be fun.

[potentialwithin]

[She watches him climb down, only a little bit jealous. Naomi's always loved to climb trees, but she had a bit of trouble getting down. More often then not she would get herself stuck and have to shout for help.

Kneeling down she let's Serenity hop off her shoulder before standing up again. She grins at Jack, holding out her hands for some of the decorations.]

It's always a lot more fun to do things with people! 'm really good at decorating though.
