OPEN TO EVERYONE: Summer Gala

[bowdown]

Characters: Everyone!
Location: By the Park swimming pool
Rating: G to PG (any higher rating, please make a private log)
Time: 20th June (FORWARDED DATE)
Notes: Go ahead and add links as you please under the main threads. If there is anything you need or I forgot, contact me and I will add!

Tonight, the park is full of life. Lights show the way towards the swimming pool, where you can find large white tents set up, all connected to each other. Music, loud chatter and laugher come from them, and inside you may find Guests and Natives enjoying the night together, a rare sight after recent events happening in the City. But tonight, all of that is to be forgotten. Maybe.

Welcome to the Summer Gala.

Feel free to leave your coat by the Coat room, listening to music (some songs are even played by Guests such as Karina, Shinji, Nanami, Hamel and John), dance together (don’t forget the Partner’s dance!), enjoy good food and good drinks, and perhaps after take a stroll by the swimming pool and the park.

But please, don’t forget to thank your hosts, Keroro’s and Eve’s Metokkori R and Hikan Café, and thank Cupid, Lily’s Yesterday's Magic, Hyoubu’s World’s End, Condesce’s Betty Crocker Bakery and the Watch for all their help. And if there is any disaster with your clothing and hair tonight, look for Kanaya and she will give you a hand!

Comments

[itaidakimasu]

A game that, in my alcohol-addled state, I tried to win.

[ferroustigmata]

Because you're a glutton, Yako. You want to have it all.

[Now who's the one that's teasing?]

[itaidakimasu]

Oh my god. That joke isn't any funnier when it comes from you, Sasha.

{But she's still laughing all the same.}

[ferroustigmata]

[Oh man. Oh man. He made her laugh. This is the best day.]

It's not a joke, it's true. The booze just reduces the self-control you have about everything that isn't food.

Because the self-control for that one has clearly been lost for a long time.

[itaidakimasu]

Hey. I totally have control! You and Kero-chan and Feliks-chan haven't starved yet, right?

{She wrinkles her nose at him, theatrically offended, but her eyes are still dancing.}

[ferroustigmata]

[Sasha may be atrocious at reading people sometimes, but he can see right through it.]

Oh, quite the opposite. The three of us suffer from bloat regularly, and only because we get the Yako-sized leftovers.

[itaidakimasu]

The joke's on you. I don't leave left-overs.

[ferroustigmata]

Compared to the mountain of food you put on your own plates, they are.

[itaidakimasu]

I just want to make sure you guys are taken care of too.

[ferroustigmata]

And that's why we have segregated plates.

[He sighs, but it's not the tired one he usually puffs out. It's much happier.]

Anyway, you don't have to worry about what happened at the party. People do strange things when they're inebriated.

[Sasha pauses, and gives her a serious look.]

But if there's...something that bothers you, you should talk to me about it. I don't know if I would be much help, but...I care.

[itaidakimasu]

...if you ever have too much though, you can absolutely add it to mine, though.

{She blinks, before smiling warmly at him.}

I do know that, Sasha. But thank you for saying so. It means a lot. I hope you know that offer goes two ways?

[ferroustigmata]

I know, but I think there's a lot more going on in your life than there is in mine. A lot that I don't know about.

[itaidakimasu]

Ugh.

{She wrinkles her nose and sighs.}

I'd need a chart to explain everything. If you have an afternoon to kill soon, we can sit down if you want, and suss out what you already know and what you want to know and should know.

[ferroustigmata]

[Jack...uh...pot...?]

...I have Monday off.

[itaidakimasu]

Monday works. I'll make some borscht.

{He'll need it.}

[ferroustigmata]

Bo--r-really?

[Pleasantly surprised!!!]

What did I do to deserve this one?

[itaidakimasu]

You say that like you have to earn it.

[ferroustigmata]

Well, for you to just declare it like that...both you and Mafuyu have made habit of just making it without warning.
