Group Date at the Cafe~

Characters: [livejournal.com profile] fearless_tech, [livejournal.com profile] pianoman_soul, EVERYONE ELSE.
Location: Death By Pastry Cafe.
Rating: G for now.
Time: July 20th, early morning.
Description: Soul and Maka try to hook everyone up before the big battle.



Upon entering the cafe, one may notice a large spread of various desserts laid out on each table. Everything looked clean and tidy, and Maka was currently circling around every now and then, making sure everything was in place.

She never tried helping others form partnerships before, but hopefully it wouldn't be too difficult. She had her Soul Perception to see who may match well, and the trust games she had planned out might help strengthen bonds. Not that she went into too much detail about that.

"How does everything look?" she asked Soul.

He looked up at her from his seat, mostly preoccupied with his cupcake. He just nodded and gave her a thumbs up.

If anything, she thought this would prove interesting, and hopefully helpful despite it being short notice.

Doors now open, they were ready to begin.

[ooc: SORRY THIS IS LATE. But anyway, a quick note - since Soul and Maka were put in charge of helping people form partnerships, they're likely to be jumping in and out of threads, trying to introduce people and whatnot. Basically playing host. Oh, and feel free to use [action] tags if you prefer that!]

Yuuri glanced around the cafe area as he peered around the others standing around him. His talk with Conrad in the morning had helped to settle his nerves about the up and coming battle, and Yuuri had left with Wolfram and the others in a better mood.

While he still didn't want to fight in the battle, the young Maou did find himself curious to see who the others ended up partnering with. Yuuri wanted all of his friends to be protected when they went out to battle. There was no doubt that Conrad would find one well enough, but it was Wolfram that he was worried about. He hoped that whoever partnered up with Wolfram was strong enough to handle him. It was a thought that caused Yuuri to smile awkwardly.

Aaa that was something he didn't want to think about.

[Lenalee was more than a little bit determined to find herself a partner at this event. From the moment she arrived, she was on the look-out for anyone who might be suitable. Not that she could tell meisters and weapons apart, but still. She had to start somewhere.

Feel free to approach her. Or not.

[If nothing else, it's some free food - even if it is sweets, he'll still go for it. Mind you, Doumeki is honestly pretty interested in finding a partner. If even Watanuki can do it, it can't be that hard. Then again, he hasn't found a lot of people here who are...his sort of person, especially not ones who are weapons. He's always been picky, after all.

Leaning against the wall by the snacks, Doumeki scoops up a piece of banana bread and takes a bite, scanning the crowd, unsure of how to even know who's a weapon and who's a meister. You'd think they'd provide a little nametag sticker or something.

Just keeps eating. Something will catch his eye soon enough, he thinks.]

[Ginko slips into the place quietly, hands thrust deep into pockets. The food looks pretty strange to him, but he watches people begin to mill about with great curiosity.

He looks skeptically at Maka demonstrating a trust fall, however-- what on earth is that supposed to signify?]

Weapon Seeking Meister - Open (as much as it pains him to admit it)

After sleeping off the fatigue he experienced from finally transforming into his weapon form for the first time, Gokudera only thought it appropriate to attend the hyped up shindig he had heard so much about.

As he made his way to the cafe, he eyed the others warily before settling on the dessert spread. With a blink, he noticed the whole tray of cannoli. He hadn't had one of those since he left Italy. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad. Snatching one up once he was close enough, he bit down into the pastry and closed his eyes, trying to deny just how much he missed the damned thing. However.. within a few moments, he had successfully inhaled it, and he was left with nothing to occupy himself with.

Now it was just awkward. It was like going to some single's meet-and-greet, only.. not. That probably would have been LESS awkward. Plucking another one of the treats off of the tray, he continued eying the crowd, trying to see if there was anyone he'd be interested in taking long walks on the beach with.

[...well, there were worst ways to go about this, right? He hadn't dared ask Xanxus how the hell he'd found himself a partner - which he hadn't yet met, properly, and god, that was just another stab of annoyance in his gut - but he had a feeling he didn't really want to know. And besides, he was short on time, he wanted to join the fun in the upcoming battle, and he'd need to find someone to wield him if he wanted to.

He just hoped he found someone who wasn't an idiot, it was enough to feed his neurosis to know he needed a partner and that someone was going to be using him. If only it had been Xanxus, it might have been at least... bearable. For a while.

So he sulked in his corner, nibbling on the only thing he saw that didn't seem like it was going to give him instant cavities, and watched around, waiting.]

[Tim, wearing normal civvies for once, skulks into the cafe, trying not to be noticed. It wasn't that he didn't want a partner; he knew it would help, especially considering the fact that he's one of the few people well trained in battle. But he wasn't feeling very social, and really, he wouldn't have shown up if not for the fact that it was a great place to gain some information.

Looking around, he slid into a seat, listening to the goings on around him and taking mental notes of important information.]

HERE FOR THE PASTRIES. (happens to be a Meister too.)

[England and America had arrived early that morning to help Soul and Maka set up. They did work at Death By Pastry, after all, and anything that they could do to help speed along the process of going home sooner rather than later was a good thing.

Now, England is here alone, since his partner is not allowed to participate in the upcoming fight. That was a shame, but it was crucial that Prussia heal completely. Of course, England wants to participate in the fight, but he doesn't know if he'd be able to resonate with another Meister so quickly. And also... he wasn't sure he wanted to put anyone else in danger...]

[Sara's seated himself near the center of the room, facing away from the table and leaning back in his chair in a relaxed manner -- a very inviting pose, he'd found, when he was in the mood to socialize and didn't want to scare off the less bold ones.

Of course, he wanted to use Yuuri as his weapon once again (just literally this time) more than anything else, but one must always have a backup plan -- or three, or four. Hey, he liked being prepared.

So begins the scanning of the room for anyone that looks strong. Too bad he can't really tell who is a weapon or a meister here...]

[.................sweets.

A great weakness of hers.

Winry was trying very hard to ignore them, and instead focus on what Maka and Soul were doing.

Quite honestly she wasn't so sure she should be here, but. She ought to at least trying searching for a partner if she was considering signing the contract.

That and she really needed a break, she owed Watson for this one]

[Have a Neku enter a cafe that seems to be hosting a socializing event. Watch him shudder and edge off to the side to grab some cupcakes and mostly trying to be inconspicuous.

Or as inconspicuous as someone in clashing orange-and-blue can be.]

[And Hong Kong stood at one of the tables, a plate in one hand, and only half his attention on looking through the desserts and choosing one that didn't look too foreign.

The rest of his attention was on the people around him. He'd meant to keep an eye out for anybody who looked like a potential partner, but he'd managed to get a little distracted by the people who were... taking turns falling into each others arms.

...Maybe it was a recreational activity here.]

Conrart walked around the cafe before finding a spot to stand and observe. He had absolutely no idea how to go about finding a partner out of all these strangers so he decided to watch them for a while, hoping one would catch his eye in a positive manner.

weapon (doesn't know yet), here for information

[he was more interested in finding out whether he was weapon or Meister -- and pastries -- but meeting new people was probably a good thing as well.

First things first...the cream puffs smelled excellent]

Wolfram had considered the desserts, but his stomach was tying itself in nervous knots, and the last thing it needed was some unfamiliar human food. It wouldn't be able to measure up to the Blood Pledge Castle pastries. Who was it that cooked them, anyway? Effee, he thought he remembered Greta saying. He knew he'd spoken to her a time or two....

Taking a deep breath, he straightened his spine and told the butterflies to go bother someone else. He was here to find someone to work with. So that he could protect Yuuri.

Now, who in this room looked like a strong fighter?

... And where had the wimp disappeared to!?

Being small did have its advantages; Rhode just made her way in the direction of the pastries when she finally arrived, absolutely uninterested in conversation. Taking a moment to hover, she finally picked up the treats that looked most promising before looking around in search of a place to sit. She had absolutely no expectation of finding one of those silly partners here, but the promise of free sweets and the chance to observe all these other people was just too tempting to resist.

Raenef was hoping attending this training session Maka had mentioned planning might help with his fighting skills, and finding a Weapon, if he was to assist in this war and get back to his Castle. The little blond Demon Lord made his way to the cafe, peeking in around the door curiously at first, getting a look at who was already present.

Shang had...significant doubts about this. Warriors should not be found at dining houses. How could one judge the strength of another when they were merely eating and drinking?

But, there was a battle to come. A battle to protect the city which was the current home of shèng. And Shang was a soldier of China. He would do his duty.

...Although at the moment the fulfillment of his duty was being seriously hampered by the fact that Shang had no way of knowing how to go about it. So he just stood just inside the doorway looking awkward.
