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

Mami Tomoe [Open Mingling]

[riflesandtea]

[ She enjoys parties; she doesn't get to go to many at all. She hovers here and there, quietly moving among the guests.

She's enjoying herself, anyway, though she doesn't talk much. It's been a long time since she's been to any gatherings of this magnitude. ]

[fractus_animus]

[ He realizes Mami is one of the ones from their time as podmates, so he easily finds her amongst the other people. ]

... I'm surprised they managed to find things for a cake. Not that I'm complaining.

[riflesandtea]

[ She's taking dainty bites from a piece of meat. It's not typical party food, but she doesn't really mind; it tastes nice, and the atmosphere is good.

When she's addressed, she kind of smiles a little at Minato, turning to face him. She recognises him, too. ]

They've put a lot of effort into doing all this. It's a nice change.

How are you doing...? [ she realises she doesn't really know his name, whoops ]

[fractus_animus]

... It is. I was planning to bake muffins for everyone since I'd saved some things before we... got abruptly cut off from the kitchens. Someone beat me to this, though. I'm kind of sad about it.

[ Still, it didn't stop him from bringing apology muffins with him anyway. Blueberry, of course. ]

[riflesandtea]

It's still a nice gesture. [ she smiles at him. ] Even if someone beat you to it, it's the thought that counts, doesn't it?

[ fff she should really introduce herself sob ]

Ah, I think I should introduce myself...my name is Mami Tomoe. [ little curtsy ] I don't think I caught your name, though...?

[fractus_animus]

[ ... She's... incredibly polite. It's sort of an odd change from the impoliteness of his team he's used to, admittedly. ]

... Minato Arisato. Nice to meet you, Tomoe-san.

[ He's a little... hesitant on the name thing, but oh well. The cat was mostly out of the bag by now, he figured. What else could he do? He wasn't going to get arrested here, so... ]

Re: Mami Tomoe [Open Mingling]

[quarkylass]

[ Jade is going to come over and talk to her, because there's one thing she believes in and that's including everyone in the socialization. The other girl looks happy, but Jade's still curious. ]

Are you having fun?

Re: Mami Tomoe [Open Mingling]

[riflesandtea]

[ oh, she hasn't seen this girl before! ]

Oh? Ah, yes, I am. It's been a long time since I've been to a party like this. [ she never really got out much after she became a magical girl, due to the whole overwhelming loneliness thing. ]

Are you enjoying yourself, too?

[quarkylass]

Really? I guess it's been a long time for me, too... [ Oh no 0n0 Jade hasn't been to a party since she was sold off as a date to the highest bidder. ]

Yes! I love watching people dance. I didn't see a lot of people at home, so these are always really nice.

I'm Jade! What's your name?

[riflesandtea]

It's nice to be able to relax once in a while, isn't it..?

Ah, it's nice to meet you, Jade-san. My name is Mami Tomoe. [ little curtsy here ]

[quarkylass]

Yes! I love seeing people so happy.

[ Oh uh-- she tries, but her dress is too slinky, so it's kind of a bob. ] It's nice to meet you too! Do you like cake?

[riflesandtea]

[ she smiles, at that. ] It's nice to see everyone having fun, after the last few weeks...

[ to be honest, the whole fight with Charlotte put her off cake a little ] Ah, well-

I used to like it a lot more than I do now, to be honest.

[beknightedheroine]

_{[Sayaka leans an elbow on a nearby table heedless to how she's probably destabilizing an already precarious piece of furniture, and bears an easygoing grin, in contrast to what she's actually about to request--]}

Hey, Mami-san. Somebody signed me up for that whole blind date mess. You'll help me make my daring escape if it's anyone weird, right?

[riflesandtea]

[ she is eyeing that table for a moment with a skeptical eye. will it topple over under the added pressure? she will have to keep an eye on it ]

Eh? A blind date--?

Of course I will, Sayaka-san! If there's any trouble, I'll come and assist you at once. [ super srs team mom ]

[beknightedheroine]

_{[Any moment now, it could just comically collapse and send Sayaka to fall flat on her face.]}

Awesome.

Let's see. We'll need a secret signal in case communication lines are compromised!

<sub>[She's halfway to making a cut-throat gesture and saying they'll use that, but then her hand freezes awkwardly mid-way in the air when her thoughts actually catch up with her.

...

How about.

Not.]</sub>

[riflesandtea]

[ oh dear, Sayaka. DON'T FALL OVER :c she will attempt to save you if it comes to that!! ]

Maybe we could signal with our Soul Gems? [ she's not really sure if the gems would work that way, though...

as an experiment, she looks at the ring on her finger and concentrates a little, trying to figure out how to work it out. It flashes once, then again.

If her theory is correct, then Sayaka's gem should flash too. ]

[beknightedheroine]

<sub>[--Woah that was surprising. Sayaka jumps when her own ring flashes bright blue, and it's...

Yup, that's just the right jolt that table needed to fall over and dump her with it. Good job, Sayaka.]</sub>

Ow.

[riflesandtea]

[ oh no!! ]

Eh--Sayaka-san, are you all right?

[ fussing around!! she's also restabilising the table and putting everything back where it was so there aren't any more accidents and nothing else falls off ]

[complementing]

Hey roommate! [Minako stops in front of Mami and waves a little.] I was looking for you! We never got to properly introduce ourselves when I changed rooms so...I'd like to do that now. [She bows low.] I'm Minako Arisato, it's nice to meet you!

[riflesandtea]

Ah, hello! [ she's a little startled by the other girl's energetic greeting, but she doesn't show it, and just smiles. ] It's nice to meet you too, Arisato-san. My name is Mami Tomoe.

Are you enjoying yourself?

[complementing]

I am. Glad to be seeing everyone so relaxed. How about you?

latelatelate

[rewindingly]

Mami Tomoe.

[ Homura actually makes a decent effort to track Mami down. Being with Mami, this Mami, is a treat to her. They're friends and she's proof that Homura's suffering will pay off. Just the thought of Mami gives Homura excited butterflies now. ]

I hope I am not interrupting aything?

[riflesandtea]

Ah, Akemi-san. [ She turns and smiles at her. ] You're not interrupting anything - it's okay.

Are you well today?

[rewindingly]

Yes, I'm doing quite well, thank you. [ She's even smiling! ] Yourself?

[riflesandtea]

[ oh, that's nice :c the homura she knows doesn't smile much, either, so it's good to see. ]

I'm feeling a lot better. Though I still don't think I can enjoy cake as much as I used to... [ she's only half joking. ]

It's nice to see you smile, Akemi-san.
