Sam's birthday was in a few days. He'd honestly forgotten about it just due to the other things that had taken up residence in his head lately. It'd taken Ramon bringing it up to remind him. And when Ramon had realized that Sam had forgotten, he'd decided to throw a small, impromptu party at the house. Sam had tried to get out of it but Ramon had insisted and Sam hadn't been able to get him to relent.

Ramon had promised small and Sam was glad he was keeping to his word. There were a small group of people in the backyard, hanging out and chatting away. Ramon had even gotten his mom and Haley to show up which amused Sam, at least. Some had brought presents but most hadn't been prepared and Sam didn't really care anyway.

After getting over his initial dislike of the idea, Sam was a little more relaxed now. He had a drink in one hand and was quietly talking with Brid while the party went on around them.

He'd been nineteen in a few days and Sam was kind of amazed he was still alive. So, he could relax and enjoy himself.

[NFB but open for calls/texts/visits. Sam wouldn't have told a lot of people about his birthday but if you think you know and that Ramon might have called you, feel free to show up or call or whatever!]

Natalie had had a bit of an internal debate over whether to show up or not, because she knew there'd be Sam's friends and family around, including people (or perhaps just a person) she wasn't particularly inclined to spend any time with.

But she showed up anyway, making her way around to the backyard when there was no one to answer the door.

Toby didn't have classes, which meant there was no reason for him not to be here so... here he was. He recognized Ramon and Frank from their visits to Fandom, of course, but the rest of the guests (minus Sam and Natalie, obviously) were new faces, so he was just taking a minute to try and figure out who they were.
