Return to Cater Diamond/Vignettes Heartslabyul Dorm - Lounge
Attention, Heartslabyul sophomores and juniors! Scoot yourselves over to Trey!
Heartslabyul Student C
All sophomores present and accounted for.
Heartslabyul Student D
All juniors are already here.
I'm sure you're all aware we've got an unbirthday party coming up soon.
Heartslabyul Student A
Yesss! Unbirthday party time!
Heartslabyul Student B
Can't wait to nosh on yummy cake and high-grade tea! Ooh, and then there's the croquet game—
Simmer down, guys! Let Trey talk.
Ever since "the incident," enforcement of the Queen of Hearts's rules has gotten more lax. However...
If we wanna party down, we gotta prep before the big day.
Heh. That's about the long and short of it. I expect everybody to focus and bring this unbirthday party together.
Heartslabyul Students
Yes, Vice Housewarden!
Okay, I've got everybody's role assignments here.
You sophomores and juniors will split into three teams. Team Trey will handle the cooking.
And Team Cay-Cay's gonna be in charge of setting things up for the tea party.
Lastly, Team Riddle's gonna be managing the budget and scheduling.
And as it turns out, Trey and I are ALSO on Team Riddle... SMH.
Right. You have your assignments. Let's do this.
GL, peeps!
Heartslabyul Dorm - Tea Garden
All right, the unbirthday party's tomorrow.
Heartslabyul Student A
Mr. Diamond, I've gotten all the butter knives, forks, and other cutlery out of storage.
Thanks! This calls for a pic of my hard-working sophomore bud. Strike a pose!
Heartslabyul Student A
Um, shouldn't you save the Magicam posting for the actual event?
Heartslabyul Student B
Mr. Diamond, I've got the tea set here.
Nice! This is a genuine spoutless teapot in this box, huh?

Heartslabyul Student C
Mr. Diamond, I've finished washing and drying the tablecloths. I'll iron them now!
GJ! How many tablecloths were there again?

Heartslabyul Student A
Is Cater always like this? It seems like he's just being a hype man.
Heartslabyul Student B
Don't sugarcoat it. He's not doing any actual work at all!
Heartslabyul Student C
Yeah. He's having us do all the heavy lifting. Meanwhile, the heaviest thing HE'S picking up is his smartphone.
Gentlemen. Are party preparations proceeding smoothly?
Heartslabyul Student A
Ah, Housewarden Rosehearts!
Heartslabyul Student B
You've come to check up on us, sir?
Heartslabyul Student C
Look, um... I don't want to be that guy, but just...look at what Cater is doing.
Maaarvelous!
Eeexcellent!
Heartslabyul Student A
We're still setting up, but he's already in party mode. Should we...say anything?
Mrrgh...
CATER.
Riddle?!
Heartslabyul Student A
(Heh heh. He's in for it now.)
Cater, how is setup going for the party?
Riddle, my man! Your moral support is much appreciated. I gotta commemorate this with a pic!
Heartslabyul Student B
(WHAAAT?!)
Heartslabyul Student C
(The audacity of this guy...!)
Proper aesthetics are paramount in tea parties. I've placed you in charge, so see to it that you have everything covered.
Roger-dodger! Say hey-hey to Trey-Trey for me!
Heartslabyul Student A
Did the housewarden just...completely ignore an upperclassman slacking off? No "Off With His Head" or anything?
Heartslabyul Student B
Tch. Turns out you can do whatever, so long as you're one of Housewarden Riddle's cronies.
Heartslabyul Student C
Maaan, why are we even trying over here? This stupid house of cards can fall, for all I care.
Hey, you're carrying the jam jars in those boxes, right? Those are super-duper important!
Heartslabyul Dorm - Tea Garden
The day of the unbirthday party...
Okay, everything's all set and good to go.
Everyone
HAPPY UNBIRTHDAY!
Phew. Well, we ate our rightful share of THAT. Now we finally get to enjoy Trey's cake.
How are you still hungry, Deuce? I'm stuffed just from having to help eat up the freshmen's caketastrophe.
Heeey! We havin' a good time over here, freshies?
Is today your birthday, Acey?
Huh? No, mine's September 23rd. Why?
Is it yours, Deucey?
No, sir. Mine's June 3rd.
And your boy Cay-Cay's birthday-day is February 4th—ALSO not today. Which means...
Oh, uh... Yeah, very merry unbirthday...
I can't keep up with this level of enthusiasm. Need to hype myself up more...
C'mon, boys, you can do better than that!
Yeah, the hedgehogs for our croquet game all escaped.
And the flamingos flew off, too.
Not to mention when you guys basically voted Trey off cake duty.
Ace started the cake thing, for the record.
It's not my fault! I was just voicing an opinion on variety in confectionery.
Yeah, sure. We can have a postmortem with Trey tonight about what all went wrong, but for now...
This event really does have some crazy rules, though.
Yeah. What's up with the rule about needing a dormouse in the pot if you pour from the one in front of you?
Shhh. One of the rules is that the dormouse has to be asleep.
And why do our teacups have holes in the bottom?
???
If that's a problem for you, just double up on your cups!
What I wanna know is, who decided the teapot had to be big and the cups had to be small?
GAH THERE'S A FACE FLOATING IN MIDAIR— Wait. I know you.
You're Chenya! I thought this party was only for Heartslabyul students, though.
Heya, Chenyan. Nice outfit. You're lookin' cooler than a sea cucumber in those pants!
And yet I don't "see" cucumbers anywhere in your spread. Good thing I'm craving mouse today!
Mouse
?!?!?! SQUEEEK! [CAT!]
Oh, geez! You woke the dormouse, Che'nyan.
Hey, don't go hopping around the table! Argh, you're messing things up!
What was the unbirthday party rule about this? To spread jam on a woken-up dormouse's nose?
The jam can wait. Just catch the mouse first!
Guys, I may look like a cat, but I'm a person. I wouldn't eat a mouse in a million years.
Ah, the time has come. Vice Housewarden?
Attention, students! Trey's got something to say!
This unbirthday party is officially over!
Freshmen, you clean the croquet field and pick up the trash.
Make certain to adhere to the Queen of Hearts's rules as you go.
Everonye
Yes, Housewarden!
Team Trey, we're done with dishwashing. Hand the dishes and cutlery over to Team Cater. They're in charge of putting it away.
Thanks, Trey.
Heartslabyul Student A
Cater, we've got a problem! We can't find the instructions for putting the teaware away.
Heartslabyul Student B
How do we know which boxes to put the dishes in?
Heartslabyul Student C
Without those notes, we're not even sure we have all of the cutlery and linens accounted for.
What did you say?! You would dare disrespect our historic Heartslabyul equipment? Grrr...
Heartslabyul Student B
I'm sorry, Housewarden. This is on us.
Heartslabyul Student C
But Cater was the one in charge, and he was goofing off the whole time we were setting up.
Those guys...
Yeesh. Way to shift the blame, jerks.
Heartslabyul Student A
Where's your sense of leadership, Cater?
Heartslabyul Student B
Answer us, Cater!
Heartslabyul Student C
We're waiting!
......
Heartslabyul Dorm - Tea Garden
Heartslabyul Student A
You were supposed to be responsible for the traditional teaware used at the unbirthday party, Cater.
Heartslabyul Student B
You really dropped the ball.
......
Heartslabyul Student C
Huh?
Sorry, guys. And I'm sorry to everybody outside of Team Cater, too.
Now I almost feel bad...
......
Cay-Cay couldn't seal the deal. Alas. And this sad moment in history deserves...
Heartslabyul Student A
We're in all hot water and you're taking SELFIES?!
Heartslabyul Student B
AND posting them to social media?
This guy's hopeless. This is, like, end-stage smartphone addiction.
I've made my apology post on Magicam, so be sure to like and subscribe!
Heartslabyul Student A
Housewarden Rosehearts, surely this is a FLAGRANT violation of the Queen of Hearts' rules!
Heartslabyul Student B
Yeah, "Off With Your Head" him already!
......
Wait. Hold up.
What's up, Ace?
Dude, Cater's Magicam is unreal!
What?! Now YOU'RE getting in on this nonsense? Why is our dorm so full of weirdos?
Hey, hear me out here. Just tap on Cater's feed...
What? You mean he documented not just the festivities, but the prep beforehand, too?
It's a tea party until you gotta put it all away D: #NRC #Silverware #TeawareBeware #Tablecloth
Try tapping on one of those hashtags.
You mean the words with the pound signs? 'Kay.

FLASHBACK END
He took pictures of them setting up the silverware!
And not just the cutlery.
FLASHBACK START
NRC #PreUnbirthday #TeawareBeware #PreUnbirthdaysAreSomeonesBirthday
FLASHBACK END
He's separated them by object and made numerous posts covering everything from the unboxing to the table setting.
If we can get inventory ordering and numbers from this, then we've essentially got an easy reference guide for putting it all away.
That's aces, Acey! You're a lifesaver!
Heartslabyul Students
Sir?
Could you guys gimme a hand here?
On it!
This's kind of exciting, actually. Now it's like a treasure hunt.
Heartslabyul Student A
Tch. That guy's got all the dumb luck.
Cater, we've got all silverware and containers accounted for.
We've finished sorting out all the funny-shaped teaware, too.
Right on! Thanks, guys!
Whoa! The cups and saucers are flying!
And they're stacking up neatly!
Good job at the unbirthday party today, little dishies!
Ha ha... And here Cater struggled with practical magic until just recently.
It's quite calculating, really.
Hey, Housewarden, don't forget that I helped bail Cater out when he was in trouble, okay?
Hmph. Must you flatter yourself so, Ace?
Huh?
I have a feeling Cater was making those Magicam posts for the precise purpose of drawing up a dishware inventory.
He was using this little "mishap" as a way to enlist help from outside his group.
That's not all. Check his follower count.
Whoa! It's gone up by over a hundred! That must've been all the students from outside his own year following him at once...
He played you like a fiddle, Ace.
Ha ha. He really is a calculating guy.
Hey, Acey!
