A Belated Birthday - video and action options
video
[At least Keith knows how to keep a feed steady on his face. He's had a lot of practice at this. His voice is somewhat hushed, and he is in a darkened room, glancing back over his shoulder before he finally clears his throat and starts to speak.]
It was Lance's birthday on Sunday. And I totally forgot, and I think it might have hurt his feelings. So. [He takes a deep breath, glancing back behind his shoulder again.] I guess I'm going to throw him a late birthday party, so he stops sulking. Please, everyone, I could use some backup here. If you could just show up at the house this afternoon for a few minutes or something, that would be great. You don't have to know us. He'll just be happy to have people paying attention to him.
[There's some noise behind him, and he looks back again before standing up hurriedly and speaking in a hushed voice.] Okay, Keith out.
action
[Keith is pretty sure that Lance is aware that something is up, because he's been running around like a madman setting things up for what he hopes to be at least a decent little gathering. With luck, people have heard the message and will show, and that should help Lance feel a little better. Not that Keith cares, of course. He just wants his roommate to stop making snide comments.
By mid-afternoon, he's managed to set up a table with some food -- of questionable quality, but still edible -- and found a bot to play some music quietly. It's not like any sort of music he's ever heard, honestly, but it'll do the trick for now, hopefully.
Now to wait and pray that someone actually shows. Even better if they bring something with them.]

Sorry for the wait! How's it coming?

Hey. Uh, see for yourself.
[He gestures around the house. It doesn't look bad, but he's definitely missing some key elements. Food being one thing, or some decorations.]
Re: action
[That's pretty good intuition, for someone who isn't used to holding gatherings. But that table in here? There's no way they would need that in the living room normally, and it definitely looks like there's more room for people to mill around and cluster into little groups than there otherwise would be.
Things could stand to look a little more festive, but honestly? That's a fairly low priority, in the scheme of things. Will turns to head for the kitchen, to take a peek at what Keith may have been working on in there. See, Keith, this is why he'd asked if you wanted him to bring anything.....]
So what are you going to feed everyone?
