ota; beach bonfire
WHO: Luca Paguro, Alberto Scorfano, and ???
WHERE: Stardew Beach
WHEN: Evening of Sunday, 20 November
WHAT: Luca's 14th birthday party! Mingle at a bonfire on the beach. They brought... lasagna...
WARNINGS: none! mention of sand fleas?
[ Come Sunday evening, as advertised, Luca's party is all set up on the shores of Stardew Beach. There's a roaring bonfire for folks to gather round, built by Alberto and Luffy under Katsuki’s careful instruction. They've piled some wood into makeshift benches around the fire for people to sit and chat and eat. On a nearby picnic table, the boys have laid out a small spread of food. But being their first "human" birthday party (and Alberto's first real party period), they didn't exactly hit the bullseye with what to serve at a beach bonfire...
They brought pasta. They carefully shlepped a huge pot of trenette al pesto and a large tray of lasagna, plus all their other party supplies, on the bus, on the train, all the way to the beach. Diligence. They don't know about hotdogs. While unorthodox, it's genuinely tasty food, though — and Alberto hasn't accidentally poisoned anyone in at least a month or two...! So also safe to eat, bonus! In addition to the pasta, they have a bowl of leftover Halloween candy, a cooler full of bottled water and an impressive array of energy drinks, and off to the side, a small stack of frying pans, a collection of myriad spices, and a bunch of kitchen knives...? For filleting and frying fish, naturally. Alberto's also brought fishing poles, so now anyone can cook up whatever they catch. Like any normal human child's birthday party.
One normal human thing they managed, though: a birthday cake. That is, if you have a forgiving definition of what a "birthday cake" is... The icing did not fair well being stacked on top of the hot lasagna on the way to the beach. Plus this is Alberto's first attempt at cake decorating or baking anything in general, thankfully once again under Katsuki’s watchful guidance... It— probably tastes fine. Let's assume it does. Just don’t look at it.
They've got two telescopes set up for any fellow star-gazers, one courtesy of Danny, and Luca brought along a couple constellation guidebooks on how to read the stars. For the less bookish types, Alberto's brought along a light-up soccer ball and a light-up Frisbee, accounting for the darkness. They've brought a few cheap swim goggles for anyone trustworthy who'd like to sneak off for a swim with a sea monster. But for those who stay on land, Alberto's also brought three fishing poles, a couple hand nets, along with tackle and bait — but not worms or something normal, of course not. No, he has an old paint can he's filled halfway with live sand fleas... Took a while to catch them all by hand himself, but it's fine; they've found more than enough sand fleas for everyone. Anyone prone to poking their nose into random containers will probably regret this one, sorry. Bleck...
All in all, it promises to be a fun birthday party — but definitely a birthday party like no other... You only turn fourteen in a human city in another country in an alternate dimension in the future once, right? ]

Which of course is one of Luca's favorite pasta sauces, considering it's the saltiest pasta sauce one can get.
no subject
Luz clearly knew who the star of the show was going to be here.
"Hey, what's in your lasagna anyway?"
no subject
They learned what pasta should be like from living in Northern Italy, so it's a pretty normal northern Italian lasagna.
no subject
Luz would pretty sure it wouldn't be too bad, but because of the ricotta and the Mozzarella, she'd want to be careful with how much she ate.
no subject
And now he's even learned about not giving people food poisoning so he's even better!
no subject
Luz is totally believing you, Luca. Don't let her down.
no subject
He hurries up, going over and dishing lasagna onto his plate. Fortunately, Alberto really has been getting pretty good at cooking, so the pasta is actually good.
no subject
"He didn't have any trouble making it, right?"
no subject
And it's something Alberto seems quite proud of, and Luca loves to share how amazing he is, so it works out great for both of them. Especially since they've learned about germs now.
no subject
Luz may or may not be shipping these two with all that her shipping heart could muster. It also helped she loved Alberto like a second brother, but shhh.
no subject
"Well...I like the idea of surprising Alberto...but he really likes cooking, so I'm not sure I want to take the chance to cook away from him...but maybe I could have Alberto teach me! He loves showing me all the human stuff he he learns, and then I could surprise him with a dinner to show off all I learned from him!"
no subject
Hint hint.
no subject
"I think having him teach me would be better. When we first met he was teaching me all about the human world, so this would be kind of like that!"
no subject
"You have a point there! Besides, it seems like Alberto likes nothing better than to introduce you to new things!"
no subject
Even if it wasn't what she was originally trying to suggest.
no subject
In the end, Luca knew better than Luz what would be the ideal situation with him and Alberto. She was just casually mentioning a way for them to be pushed together.
They could clearly handle the rest!
Wrap?

Please don't be as dense as I was!
