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.

Kuja <- ♌ -> Zidane

He'd been surprised to find himself included in this blind date thing. He had no idea who'd signed him up for this. Maybe it was someone's idea of a joke--or it could be someone trying to be nice and going about it the wrong way. Zidane liked to be optimistic about things like this, and he tended to expect the best of people until he was proved wrong. (Perhaps he should have suspected Kuja's involvement, but this was not the kind of mischief he'd come to expect from Kuja. It was way more--non-fatal.) He could see the humor in it. Setting people up on blind dates wasn't a bad prank, and at another time, he would even have thought it was fun.

Of course, he was a taken man now! He couldn't very well go out on a date with somebody else. No, he was going to be good. He was going to find the young lady who in a different set of circumstances would have been lucky to be paired up with him, and let her down as gently and nicely as possible. Because he was a gentleman. Yes sir.

He just had to find the girl with the right symbol. He wondered--just in the normal way you do!--if she was going to be cute.

Kuja wasn't have to best time of things. No, that was a gross understatement: ever since his runin with that - thing, Kuja just couldn't take anything. Being confronted with the embodiment of humanity's destruction and his own issues atop of that made him want to run and hide and never emerge.

He didn't; not right away, at least. Kuja was tired of jumping at shadows (literally at times) and so kept his movements between the library and his dorm room, so he could avoid having to talk to people.

By the time of the party, Kuja was rested enough to put up some appearance. He could play the wallflower for an evening, and he was looking forward to seeing how Zidane dealt with his "date".

[fallen_stage]

Unfortunately his own date would leave disappointed, since Kuja had no intention of honoring that engagement this evening. He still had his paper with the loopy sigil of Leo upon it.

By the time he sees Zidane in the crowd, Kuja had indulged in some of the refreshments. He had tasted the alcohol, but didn't stop. Since he was designated as the lion, he could use the boost to his courage tonight. Drinking all that punch was helping him loosen up, at least, like he was cocooned with an invisible silk coating.

[happygolucky]

Once again, it wasn't too hard to pick out Kuja in a crowd. He guessed that was one good thing. He wasn't difficult to find here, in ordinary circumstances. All the silver and feathers. Though he hadn't been sure if he'd be here at all, whether he'd liked parties like this.

He smiled and waved. "Hey, Kuja." There was still no sign of the girl with the symbol matching his, but he had his paper with him as well, hoping he'd be able to find her and deliver the news gently. Though maybe she hadn't shown up at all and had been signed up as a joke, too. That wouldn't be bad. It would work out best for the both of them. For now, he made his way over to Kuja, weaving his way nimbly through the crowd.

[fallen_stage]

Too long had Kuja been isolating himself. Really, he didn't need his solitude that much before the Tower. He needed to loosen up, to have a good time! What better than a party to raise the spirits?

Haha, spirits. He'd have to remember that.

"Oh. Hel-lo Zidane. How are your spirits? hahaha!"

Kuja wasn't weaving, nor was he flushed, but his smile came too quickly, and he wasn't the type to laugh at himself. His paper is limp in his hand, but visible.
