Lau's apartment at the Casualty Communal had been rearranged to accommodate his guests for the evening. The couch and chairs had been pushed so their backs were to the window, the coffee table set with several packs of cards and a box of poker chips. The TV and desk had been pushed into the corner to allow space for two square folding tables and four chairs for each, one set with a jumble of mahjong tiles and the other awaiting its game- And even with the additional furniture, he'd left enough space for people to sit at the counter as if it were a bar, facing the space he had left open for food and drinks from his guests. He had set out dumplings, as promised, a kettle on the stove for tea, and a few bottles of juice and various alcohols- vodka, table wine, brandy.

As eight o' clock approached, Lau finally stood back to appreciate his work, smiling as he paced between the tables to make sure there would be enough space for his guests to move around. Everything was just the way he liked, and so he moved to prop open the door, humming a soft tune before pouring himself a drink.

Tonight was going to be fascinating, especially with the medley of people he'd met on his post regarding the event. Nothing could really compare to a night of gambling and the company of others- Especially in the event that said company could be of use to him in this city.

{{ ooc; A few threads for specific areas in the apartment are being set up, but you can post your own thread if you would like! Post the time in your subject line, so poeple know who they're meeting when, but otherwise just have a good time. ♥ }}

Bakura looked up a moment before setting down the tiles he had been toying with and getting to his feet. "Probably not such a good idea to drink by the game, eh?" he smiled.

[dreamstick]

"Oh, you may drink by the game if it pleases you. It is just far easier to converse and get our little party set up if you are closer to the kitchen."

Lau paused as he organized the pastries, setting one on the stack of small plates beside the dishes and taking one off the top to set in front of Bakura's tea.

"Here, have a taste of your own generosity."

[shiromadoushi]

"Thank you," Bakura smiled warmly. "Is there anything you need help setting up still?"

[dreamstick]

"You're quite welcome."

Finishing up his careful arrangement of pastries, Lau hummed thoughtfully, placing the platter to one side and looking around.

"Perhaps, perhaps... Would you like to put a bowl of these little crispy snacks on the coffee table, once you finish your tea? It's not terribly urgent, but I'm sure everyone will appreciate having something to munch on."

Bakura nodded, setting his tea down. "I can do that now, it's no trouble!" he assured.

[dreamstick]

"Oh, no, my boy. There's no rush at all! People won't arrive hungry." Lau waved a hand, turning back to pick up a large plastic bowl and start pouring some corn chips into it. "And if they do, they'll start with the hot food closest to the door."

[shiromadoushi]

"Aaa... I guess that's right..." Bakura rubbed the back of his neck, feeling a bit sheepish.

He smiled at the boy's reply, though he didn't turn around quite yet.

"Not everyone knows the niceties of hosting a gathering. Relax and enjoy your tea. You're my guest as well, after all."
