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.

Comments

Xion (OU) <- ♐ -> Yu Narukami

[animusmods]

[attheclocktower]

[Given what she found out on the network, Xion is... understandably flustered. Not to mention this is the first time she's ever really... worn anything different. Sure, when her shoulder had gotten dislocated she'd omitted the coat, but still. This is something entirely different.

She finds the table that matches the symbol on the paper she got - that's what she's supposed to do, right? - and sat down, face slightly pink, fingers twisting into the fabric above her knees.

Just... here's hoping this... wouldn't go too badly... Who was the other person anyway...?]

[pitiedthefool]

["Find the other person with the matching symbol." It should have been easy to do, right? Simple! There wasn't much to it, after all. At least... until he saw someone sitting down. And there was a symbol like the one he held in his hand on the table beside her.

...] Xion?

[Eikichi, he doesn't know whether to strangle you or thank you. He may do the latter and punch your arm later, though. Because better him than someone who will make this more awkward, right?

...Nope, still going to be awkward.]

[attheclocktower]

[Xion looks up at the sound of her name, eyes wide with surprise]

Yu?

[And... yeah she's still nervous. But maybe a little less than she might've been. She's... kind of glad it's one of the people she... knows, really. And not some total stranger she's only seen at best.

Still... she ducks her head a little nervously, fingering the... little bundle or whatever it was of white flowers (violets, though she didn't know the name) that she'd picked up.]

H-hey.

[pitiedthefool]

[He nods, sitting down beside her and showing his little card. It was the same star sign symbol, alright. She might also notice the pink rose in his jacket pocket. To be honest, he's... relieved for her sake. Especially after finding out Adachi was in for it if he tried something his date didn't like.]

Let's have some fun, alright?

[He doesn't know much about flowers, but he does know that they're pretty. If she asks, he'll likely put it on for her.]

[attheclocktower]

Yeah, okay.

[She nods her head, glancing a little off to the side.]

I... I've never really done anything like this before.

[So she might mess up. Or do something wrong, or something. She doesn't even know what she's supposed to do with the flowers.]

[pitiedthefool]

It's alright. [He smiles faintly, and maybe it's a bit of a hint with how he's been wording things, but it's fine.]

Things like this are supposed to be fun and a bit more on the silly side of a learning experience.

[Welcome to Being Social 101. He'll teach you all about it.]

...May I? [He sees them flowers. Let him put them on you, Xion?]

[attheclocktower]

Learning experience? So... this is how people learn to go on dates?

[It sounds odd but it makes a little more sense... And explains why you wouldn't want to do anything too serious on a "blind date". Like the "anon" on the network had said.

Her eyes widen a little in surprise at his request, and she hands the flowers over, nonplussed.]

Sure.

[And pulling the hand that had been holding the flowers back a little because totally not realizing he's gonna need it]

[pitiedthefool]

Something like that. [Yu chuckles.] Also getting to know others better in a different setting.

[That "anon" was certainly wise to say that. :> Though, he has to stifle the urge to laugh again before tapping her on the shoulder.]

I'm going to need to see your hand.

[attheclocktower]

It is really different. [Than how she's usually met people, at least.

Such a wise and kind anon. Modest too. Though she still has no idea who the anon even was. At Yu's words though, she colors slightly and reaches forward once more.]

Oh... right.
