WHO: Kamala Khan
WHERE: House 6
WHEN: Dec. 13th; late afternoon aka KAMALA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
OPEN TO: residents of house six, assorted cr of Kamala and the other house six residents - basically everyone who knows Kamala, Frank, and Jessica and is on good terms with them. It's basically everyone.
WARNINGS: Possible mentions of horror settings or past trauma since Kamala does live with Frank Castle and Jessica Jones who are their own warning. Honestly this is a rated G birthday log.

---

She wakes up super stoked to be alive. It's not unusual for her honestly. Kamala is more excited than usual if only because it's not every day you get superheroes coming over for your birthday. Granted she's seeing them more as ordinary people who do incredible things sometimes. That's a positive change as far as she's concerned. It doesn't change the fact that Kamala from like age seven and up would have seen this as a dream come true. Who is she to question the wisdom of tiny Kamala?

She spends a decent portion of the day (following breakfast) getting ready for guests. She styles her new, shorter hair cut as elegantly as she can, dresses in the hunter green dress and pants outfit given to her by the Observers because screw them it's pretty and they can't ruin it with what they pulled after.

By the time she finishes, it's time to greet guests and see what Frank's done with the rest of the house while she's been hiding out in her room to obsess over her appearance. She'll go around greeting whoever shows up, shoving food at them, and generally be grateful they came. It's her seventeenth birthday. She's away from her home, childhood friends, and family. Having anyone here today means a lot more than she lets on. It's about the only thing allowing her to feel happiness instead dwelling on what she's missing.

(ooc; top levels will be posted by Frank in like five minutes for setting info. please hold for those! feel free to tag those or make your own starter once they're posted. I'm flexible.)

[ It's less that he doesn't want to, and more he's not sure he'd be welcome with all the different people running around. It's her day, after all, so he's trying to stay lowkey and. Not be a problem.

He does start worrying a little when she stares at it so long, though. Maybe his creative license went too far, maybe it didn't go far enough. Maybe -- ]

I, uh. Thanks. It's been a while, honestly, wasn't sure I remembered how. [ and then, because it's him. ] Steve is fine, you know. Captain America is just a title. You're welcome to call me by my real name.

[Kamala is blissfully unaware of all the drama. She is aware of the huge honor it is to call one of the greatest heroes of all time by their first name. Once she stops blatantly staring at Steve in all the purest love and adoration does Kamala find the words to express how much this means to her.]

Okay, Steve. [She giggles because she actually called him Steve! Kamala does sober up to offer some advice since even if she idealizes him, he's still a person. She likes to help people.] If you don't mind me saying, you should draw more. You're really talented! You should share that with other people. If you want.
