The last few days of the month are busy ones. And it's the last day of the year when Fever tugs Degas out of his own dwelling to follow her to Zivia's house, claiming he can help with something that she wants to remain frustratingly vague on. She's banking on being able to play upon his sympathies to get him there, and through trickery, flattery, and sheer stubbornness, the man does end up following her there.
What greets him when he arrives is a small gathering of friends, the house set up to accommodate them in comfort, and all of them wishing him a happy birthday. None of them need anything terribly fancy, but an effort has certainly been made to make it special. Those in his circle who cannot attend in person will have been invited to write messages for him for the upcoming year. There is a cake, among other refreshments, and there is a paper hat Fever will make pathetic eyes at Degas to wear, just so he can seem important. And there is love, love in abundance. The world might be gearing up to watch another year pass, but they have come together to remind him that the new year is one they wish to greet with him, and that he is not something to be sidelined.
Those that need to depart afterwards will be fully able to, but those that want to also bring in the new year will be invited to what comes after. Fever and Angel have plans to watch the first sunrise of the year, and if one wants to pull an all nighter, they'll be free to join.
[ooc: i'm taking a cue from midnight mass and creating a general onscreen place for attendance. if you guys want to thread further, feel free - i just didn't want to make anyone feel like they had to do anything formal. have fun!]
