Prompto would be entirely honest; if there was anything a bit different going on in town, he was completely unaware of it, because he'd been singularly focused since pretty much Friday on getting things all ready and set up for Noctra's birthday party today. The decorations were an amalgamation of both puppy things and football things, with a both First Year Down! and Let's Pawty! balloons to really drive it home.

And, of course, the birthday girl herself was showing her appreciation for the theme, as well! Unfortunately, with her dad's excitement all morning in getting things up, she hadn't been able to nap like he was hoping she would, so he was holding his breath that the whole thing wouldn't make her too cranky or overwhelmed, but at least there was plenty to distract her in the meantime. Including a little help from Rain pulling in duty as Party Ruferee.

Then there was getting everything with the catering set out for the guests, which included your typical moddable game day fare, but especially puppy chow, mini hot dogs, and, of course pizza rolls! There were a puppy bowl birthday cake, even, with some vegan cupcake puppy players!

And, of course, near the entrance, there were plenty of party hats for anyone who wanted to claim their allegiance for Team Ruff or Team Fluff or just Team Noctra (he suspected those would be the most popular, really).

And for once, after everything was set up and copious amounts of pictures had been taken, Prompto actually wasn't feeling like he hadn't gone enough on the theme, and was feeling pretty good about this one, actually!

[[ open party is open! If you've ever talked to Prompto or Liz even once, you probably got an invitation. Heck, even if you've never talked to either of them, you could have ~mysteriously~ gotten one, too! Maybe it's your big destiny to meet your true love at a one-year-old's puppy bowl party, you don't know!! ]]

"It does seem like less of a stiff competition than the football game is, usually," Annie observed, tilting her head (and allowing Maggie, now flying solo with Mom, to make a grab for her hair.) "Man, I've been missing out watching the big game instead of puppies for years."

You could actually watch both, Annie! Assuming that the babies allowed for the time to do so, later, but still, she didn't have an excuse for prior years.

"I've never actually watched the Superbowl," Nell admitted. "Or the puppy bowl. I didn't know about the first, but this one is awfully cute."

"Wait, really?" Annie asked, curious. "I mean, where I'm from, it's all like...corn and sports, so it's big back home. I'm pulling for the Chiefs tonight purely out of Midwest loyalty."

And Taylor Swift, though she was totally one of those people who was baffled that she'd been able to fly from Tokyo to Vegas with time to spare! What? How was that even possible.

(...ooh, maybe Taylor had access to portals, too! Probably more environmentally-friendly than the jet thing, too!)

"Sports aren't really important in God's Cloud of Glory Church," Nell said. "Not to mention the lack of television sets. I mean, I had one after John died, but mostly just to watch DVDs. Just wasn't something I ever had much interest in."

She'd never even really watched sports till she'd started the Tuesday night get togethers.

"And here I'm pretty sure all the men in my church left Mass to post up in their recliners with a beer and the game every Sunday," Annie observed thoughtfully. (Which, really, didn't bother her so much as the subsequent implication that their wives would be providing refills all day.) "The Super Bowl was always mostly interesting to me for the half-time show, anyway. It's usually a great performance."

Had Annie stuck where she'd been a couple years ago, she would likely have eventually done the halftime show herself, in her own universe.

Nell laughed. "I see we grew up in very different churches." Lucky for you, Annie.

"Maybe I'll have to check out this half time show thing."
