I want to ride my chocobo all day!

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!! ]]

SO there was definitely a lot going on this weekend, and it was far from over with the holiday tomorrow, but, even with everything else, there was absolutely, without a doubt, at least one thing that, no matter what, Prompto could not miss out on and that was none other than his very own, practically-annual since he'd first found out about it years ago as a student, ultra-important PUPPY BOWL PARTY!

It was, like, the best time of the year, my dudes!

And, well, it wasn't really so much a party (especially compared to some of the parties people threw around here!), but more, like, a Puppy Bowl get-together, which was fine, because sometimes, you just kind of preferred something really low-key and laid back, and it was literally just about hanging out with your friends and watching adorable puppies being cut on TV, it did not need to be that complicated, and he didn't want to overwhelm Liz, either, with too much socialization, especially since she did the 3MD last night (and, thankfully, didn't just fall madly in love with someone else and drop his ass...or at least if she did, she hadn't told him yet!). He even offered to move it over to the Covent Garden apartment, too, but she said it was fine, so then it was all about gathering snacks and beverages, enlisting Gladio and Ignis to help, and then sending out a few texts to various people (and maybe depending a little on the island's ability to just turn a few simple texts into a conveniently mass one) to see if they wanted to drop by.

And thus, the Puppy Bowl Party could commense!! Let the cuteness begin!!

[[ because Prompto would not let me live with myself if he didn't have his PBP. Totally open! Feel free to mod a variety of texts from any or all three of the Chocobros (edit: and apparently from Summer now, too!) if you'd like to attend , or just drop by anyway! I'll probably be sparse due to work, but don't let that stop you! No OCD; let chaos and SP reign!! ]]
