The oh-so-OPEN housewarming party assault log

[spandexisyouth]

Characters: Karkat, Gai, and anyone and everyone who drops by!
Location: Karkat's new 'hivething.'
Rating: PG?
Time: Afternoon
Description: Karkat is moving. Gai wants to cheer up his perpetually grumpy friend. Anyone can have seen Gai's post on the network and drop by.



It didn't take many stealth skills at all to plan this party. The filters on the devices made things very easy, and with the labor as greatly divided as it was Gai didn't even have to haul a whole bunch of stuff to where Karkat would be moving in.

Picking the lock was the work of moments and then Gai was in the apartment, starting to set up. Soon others would join him to help prepare, and hopefully Karkat would be slow enough in returning that he would only come when everything was ready. Gai would hope, at least.

PARTY

[spandexisyouth]

[Mingle, eat, drink, celebrate. Just don’t mind the fact that the punch is being watched just in case some people think it would be funny to spike it.]

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

[IN UR CORNER, MAKING SURE MINORS DON'T DRINK AND ADULTS DON'T DRINK TOO MUCH.

Somebody needs to draw him out and actually get him to, well. Party.]

i'm sorry kae

[just-0k.livejournal.com]

[someone aradia hasn't met yet? TIME TO GET ACQUAINTED.]

Hello!

[silvershamurai.livejournal.com]

[Heeeeeere's Gintoki sidling up to Papabutt with an extra drink in hand. That thing about not knowing anybody? Well that was a lie, Gintoki knows a fair number of these faces, just not, well, personally. He's spoken to Koujuuro before though, so he's got that at least.]

I would've thought the Chief of Oushuu would be here yelling about parties. Past his bed time, huh?

[He means no harm. Just a lighthearted jest as he offers the other cup he's holding.]

Relax, this is the light stuff.

[Hello fellow papa, Phoenix is dropping in with a cup of punch.]

Nice time for a party, isn't it?

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

[Turned up a bit late, this one, and after a round of greetings and swift smiles, he's... quietly retreating to his own corner. Totally content with observing y'all having fun. Yep.]

[just-0k.livejournal.com]

[Aradia has a tendency to pleasantly find people when they are retreating. She seems to have missed his entrance to the party, judging by the smile on her face.]

Hello, Roy!

[dungenessmaster]

[his presence actually makes Karkat stop. he's not surprised that the kids came to mess with him, and he's especially not surprised that his hive is slowly filling up with trolls, but...]

What the fuck are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be...

[he stops, frowning. there are non-Watch people here. he figures Roy knows what he meant.]

Aren't you busy?

[nocathere.livejournal.com]

[Cheshire's not planning on letting that happen. God only knows where he got it, but he's carrying a tray with a tea set on his head and walking on his hind legs right towards Roy.]

open, everyone can feel free to bother him! sorry in advance :V

[dungenessmaster]

[Karkat staggers in the door with a big fuckoff box full of DVDs. it was honestly the heaviest thing he had to haul, and he looks sort of winded.

he literally drops it on his feet and doesn't even notice immediately, because.

there are people.

and colorful decorations.

also light.

ALL OVER HIS FUCKING HIVE.]

[saynotoballs.livejournal.com]

[N had wanted to add some cheer to Karkat's hive, as per Gai's intent. He wasn't entirely sure what qualifies for a cheerful home in terms of normal human standards (as he had been lead to 'full of toys and also a skateboard half-pipe' was, in a few words, abnormal), never mind troll hive cheer, but nevertheless!

He plops a party hat on Karkat's head. It has festive tinsel streamers on the top.

He means well....despite all contrary evidence...he really means well]

Welcome home, Karkat!

[memorymodus.livejournal.com]

[ DERP DERP DERP ]

Hi Karkat! Ouch, is your foot okay?

[conheir]

[and if the party hat that N gave you wasn't enough, here's John who is also decked out in a party hat and also popping a party popper RIGHT AT YOU with a BANG and all this confetti floats down onto your head.

after a quick curse under his breath, since he only has one arm and therefore had to pull the party popper string with his teeth and therefore the spark managed to singe his lip a little, he grins broadly at karkat.]

Hey Karkat! You should be more careful with those, by the way. [points at the dropped DVD box on the troll's foot]

[redefinescull.livejournal.com]

Hello Krabcatch! [She's so excited to see Karkat seeing something EXCITING like this! 38)]

[just-0k.livejournal.com]

[And there he is.............. the man of the hour (geddit). Aradia is giggling.]

Welcome home, Karkat!

quite open

[thorny]

[Rose has actually come to this party for a very specific reason - to drop off a 'present' designed to subtly hint to Karkat to keep his mouth firmly shut about anything damaging he might have picked up during their resonation.

as such, she's not making much (read: any) attempt to mingle in the truest sense of the word. she's parked herself on a chair near the door, little package primly sitting on her knees underneath a glass of punch

you know you want to bug her. she's just asking for it.]

[justiceisdue.livejournal.com]

[This really isn't what she expected to find when she came in through the balcony, and she's certain Karkat feels the same way. So for now she's just crouched in the corner by the balcony door, observing. What, exactly, is the point of this?]

OPEN LIKE SESAME

[just-0k.livejournal.com]

[Aradia is trying ALL OF THE FOOD. All of it. She may be hovering over the table, or having a seat somewhere in a cozy place. Regardless, though, she looks very happy to be out of her hive apartment and with people.

What will you do?]

SO OPEN

[redefinescull.livejournal.com]

[Feferi is pretty much everywhere she could possibly go - she's bouncy, mingling, and doing all the fun stuff people are supposed to do at parties!

Bother her? She's pretty excited to be around people and be able to talk to them.]

So Very Open

[hesgotsoul.livejournal.com]

[Don't mind him. He's just here for the cake.]

MAD TEA PARTY!

[nocathere.livejournal.com]

[Karkat unintentionally gave Cheshire the idea, and now Cheshire is walking around the party balancing a tea tray on either his rear paw as he walks on his front two or balancing it on his head as he walked on his rear paws. Either way, he's telling you that Karkat has dubbed this a Mad Tea Party and offering you a cup.]

Open for business!

[silvershamurai.livejournal.com]

[So he heard about this party over the network. Does he know anybody? Nope. But the food is pretty good. And goddamn, free booze always tastes amazing.]

Semi-open? I'll tag the rest tomorrow. ._.

[novelvision.livejournal.com]

[And here is Katsura diligently guarding the punch on his shift, making sure that no one gets by his watchful eyes!]

[portal2thestars.livejournal.com]

[OMNOMNOMNOM.

Yeah, that's pretty much what Yugo's doing right now. He's sitting on the floor, criss-cross applesauce with tons of empty cups. Artificial sweetness is so good oh my god.]

[Open] So late...

[spandexisyouth]

And Gai's mingling around, trying to make sure everyone's having fun and enjoying themselves without causing harm to Karkat's new place. It's very nice to see so many here; it's promising. There's clearly still a chance of getting along and working together.
