Summary: The giant party is finally here! Mingle, Blind date and strange things ahoy!
Warnings: WHO KNOWS WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

Floor Thirty-Eight. Normally just a simple lounge, it was now Party Central.

It was clear Eikichi had put all of his heart into it. Say what you wanted about him, but he was a good manager and organizer. The place didn't look the same, with the flower bouquets strewing in odd corners, the bright pieces of tissues hung around like garlands. They had no balloons so they made with. A few banners hung into the air, the words crudely painted with Maya's name and wishing her a happy birthday. There was also a few others with the names of the birthdays Eikichi had managed to get.

At the entrance, there was a a few large baskets filled with corsages that Jun had prepared - acacias white (friendship and chaste love), yellow (secret love) and pink (friendship), white violets (Purity; Candor; Modesty; Innocence; Let's take a chance on happiness) and pink roses (Perfect happiness, please believe me; Friendship) expertly woven pieces of stems and grass meant it required no other materials than the flower themselves.

Of course, the meanings were not written. You just had a few to chose from. Then you could offer one to your date to wear on their hand...if you wished.

As Eikichi had said, no pressure.

...Except for coming, of course.

Those that were part of the blind dates had each been given a small piece of paper with a symbol.As they entered they could see a small sign instructing to try and find the other person with the same symbol. This would be their 'date' of the night.

On the farthest left to the entrance, they had dragged in a gigantic music system, with an area for a DJ to run (Tatsuya had helped with the wiring). Some large pieces of metals had been lined up to cover the floor, making a fake stage and on top of that, he had placed various instruments - along with those of his band, of course. The stage would be open for them to play later, regardless.

The main area reserved for food was a few tables that had been dragged in here, covered with whatever tissues they had found and filled with all the food they could take - some of it was typical stuff found in the cafeteria this week (but no gross stuff - Eikichi didn't want living maggots in his cheese today), the rest had been made by those nice enough to help with the cooking. There wasn't that much typical 'party food' as creating your own sweets and chips does take a while, but the jerky meats, the hot soups and the vegetables more than made up for it. The drinks were placed right besides it and who knew how many trips they had needed to set it all up.

There were also cakes on the next table, enough to feed at least everyone in the part a generous slice. Considering the ingredients and the people involved they ranged from the very simple to baked pies using the available fruits, and a single cake which appeared to have more work than the others. They did with what they had, and it was fantastic they had so much at all.

All the chairs and bags found in that room normally were tossed in a corner facing the central area so that people could sit down if they felt like it, but the central area was reserved to talk, mingle and dance once everything REALLY got underway.

It would soon too, once the crowds started to get bigger and bigger.

[OOC - Hello and welcome to the party log! Let's mingle and have fun because the tower doesn't let us have much of it. You can start a brand new thread when you are blind dating and mark them (EIKICHI AND MIYABI ), or if you want to do something like "JADE DJs A FEW SONGS FOR YOU" and people can reply to that. You can make multiple threads to a reply to, so if someone wants to talk to Eikichi, then someone else does later. Just make sure any closed threads are marked with [CLOSED] so other people know they can't pop in! Otherwise...it's free game.

Leon Kuwata <- ♥ -> Kafuka Fuura

[animusmods]

[tsunball]

[ Okay, so Leon was pretty sure he hadn't signed himself up for this. Unless he did and somehow completely forgot about it, but he doubts that really could've happened, right? Why would he have random amnesia.. And while he isn't sure who did sign him up then, he isn't going to complain. It's a blind date, after all, a blind date. As if Leon would complain about going on a date ever, nope siree. Finally he has a chance to score again with a chick in this tower, it's better than most other stuff that has happened here so far.

At least he bothered to change his usual punk rock gear for.. a different set of it. As if Leon would ever dress formally at a party. Nope, he's just standing there in a different set of clothes from his truck - something akin to this outfit, to be precise.

He's looking around to find the other person with the heart sign on their paper, probably looking pretty eager.. ]

[theresnosuchthing]

[Kafuka signed up herself, and she was very happy to attend the party and was looking forward to entertain a date. As such, she'd decided on one of her kimonos, since they were the nicest clothes she had. It didn't feel right, going to a party wearing school clothes. Subdued as she's been lately - relatively speaking anyway - she chose the pink one in the end. Comfortable with her choice and very enthused about the party, she surveyed the crowd, every so often politely asking people to see their paper.

She turned to Leon when she run into him, all sweet smiles in her little traditional outfit.]

Ah, would you mind showing me your paper? Mine's a heart!

[tsunball]

[ .. Huh, a girl in a kimono? She pretty much stands out between the other people here, so Leon notices Kafuka even before she approaches him. But when she does, and he hears what she's saying-- he glances down at his own paper and right, that was a heart too.. ah, wait! That means this is the girl he's on a blind date with?! And she looks like a normal cute girl?!

Score. Total score up in here. ]

Oh, mine too! [ He shows it to her with the goofiest grin - he's excited, okay. ] That means you must be my date, huh?

[theresnosuchthing]

Really?

[She's excited too! She smiles brightly at him.]

I think it does! So let's have ourselves a very nice time!

[tsunball]

A good time sounds pretty awesome to me! [ Man, this couldn't have turned out any better to him-- silently he's thanking whoever it is that decided to sign him up for this, finally he has a legit date with a girl.. who cares that she's in a kimono, maybe she's just one of those traditional types, nothing too bad about that, right? ]

Guess I should introduce myself.. my name's Leon, Leon Kuwata! You're pretty lucky to have me as your blind date, I'm practically a superstar where I come from!

[ and so very humble. ]

And the prize for the latest tagback in the history of ever is for...

[theresnosuchthing]

A superstar?

[She looks suitably impressed and excited. She's a cute girl, after all, a touch traditional what with the get up, but maybe it was the nicest thing she had at hand? Who knows!]

Ara... I don't think I've ever been on a date before!

[This is an outright fabrication, but given how good she is at lying, how could you tell? She even has the slightly awkward blush down pat.]

What should we do, to have a good time?

[Headtiiiiiiiiiiilt.]

it's okay, clearly we'll just backtag into eternity.

[tsunball]

[ A million (bad, in other people's opinion) suggestions flow to Leon's mind at hearing that question, but.. no, no, he's got to take it at least a little more slowly than that, right?! This is his only chance, he can't ruin this..! ]

.. How about a dance, huh? Ah, wait, that'd be difficult in that outfit.. [ boo, his first thought already a useless one. ] Well, how about going somewhere then where it's just the two of us? That's pretty romantic, isn't it?

To infinity, AND BEYOND!

[theresnosuchthing]

Ah, I could dance, if you want.

[She offers a cheerful smile.]

I'm good on my feet. But we can go somewhere else too! You probably have more experience than me, in these things.

[tsunball]

Oh.. oh yeah, I have tons of experience! [ He laughs, but it's sort of obvious he's just trying to cover himself up on this one.. he has no personal experience at all, no girl ever wants him. ]

Maybe it'd be better to go somewhere else, just since it'd be more.. uh.. personal and all, y'know?

[theresnosuchthing]

Sure!

[She nods.]

I'd like to get to know you better!

[tsunball]

[ .. oh man, score, score..!! ]

Yeah, same, same! [ or maybe he just wants to score, who knows. at least he's trying to grab her hand to drag her off now. ]

Let's find some place without all those retarded monsters.

[theresnosuchthing]

[Given this is Kafuka, scoring is not entirely out of the question. She giggles at his wording and nods.]

Alright! Lead the way and I'll follow!

[tsunball]

[ And he'll just gladly do that, peering around the place and trying to think of what would be a good place to woo a girl.. so in the end he just drags her down to the meadow floor, since he's been told about that one by some of his friends before. And girls like flowers. Clearly all girls do. Clearly.. ]

.. There we go! These suit your clothing, huh? [ he points at the small flowers on her yukata. ]

[theresnosuchthing]

They do!

[She nods, running a hand down the length of the yukata, then gracefully folding herself down on the floor.]

This is always such a nice floor.

[tsunball]

Isn't it? [ he flops down rather unceremoniously compared to her, probably squishing quite some flowers in the process too. ]

It's much better than the crazy ones or the ones full of those shitty monsters. At least not all floors here are batshit.

[theresnosuchthing]

I like the Aquarium.

[She looks suitably demure.]

And the libraries. But in general I like floors with people, everyone's so nice here!

[tsunball]

I guess most people are.. There's some really crazy people though, you probably don't want to be around them. Especially when they start threatening you for no reason, that's just sick!

[ BUT OKAY this is not a very date-worthy topic to head towards, he realises this, time to backpedal.. ]

That's why I'm glad to be paired with a cute girl like you for this, y'know?

[theresnosuchthing]

[She giggles.]

And I'm glad to be paired up with a handsome guy.

[tsunball]

[ .. oh man, a girl called him handsome. Sure, Leon might say stuff like that about himself, but he doesn't really fully mean it.. or either way, he's always looking for confirmation, so he's just flipping out (in a good way) on the inside at hearing it. Dude, dude, dude. ]

Heh, you've got a good eye! [ KEEP COOL, LEON, PLAY IT COOL.. ] There aren't many guys as cool or handsome as me in the tower.

[theresnosuchthing]

Well, a girl has to have standards.

[She winks at him.]

She can't just go out with anyone.

[Which is exactly what she usually does but that's besides the point.]

[tsunball]

[ Leon is just swallowing her words as truth either way, he's that desperate to feed his own ego. ]

No way, man! Just imagine a cute chick like you getting paired up with some loser for the blind dates.. that would've been awful, right? [ but Leon, aren't you the very definition of 'some loser'..? ]

[theresnosuchthing]

Aww, you're sweet, Leon!

[Another giggle, and a hand reaching out to pat his knee.]

Why don't you tell me about your world? I'm always curious about that!

[tsunball]

[ .. Sweet.. that's good, isn't it? Yeah, he's sure that's good, he's totally going to score here so he grins to himself, even if he does manage to look almost (slightly loser-like) flustered at the compliment. ]

Well, things were pretty normal until a little while ago.. I'm a really famous baseball player back home! And soon to be a big time rock star too!

[theresnosuchthing]

[Sweet is good. It means she gets to play with you.]

Oooh, that's so cool! Does that mean you play an instrument?
