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.

AU!Jade Harley | open mingling

[quarkylass]

[ Jade is here for the blind dates (a little unwillingly) but she is already zooming in on that cake because oh my god cake. She's not entirely sure when the last time she had cake is, maybe Kate's birthday party?

Anyway she's dressed for the occasion in the 3am Dress, twinkling and sparkling because that's what parties demand is a sparkly dress and cute green pumps. ]

[floreatnoctem]

...your dress.

[A strange way to start a conversation, but try as she might, Chidori can't spot a single seam on the piece of art that is Jade's dress and she must know more.]

It's very pretty.

[quarkylass]

[ Jade looks down, almost surprised. ] Thank you! I came up with it.

It's nice to meet you, by the way. I'm Jade.

[floreatnoctem]

You came up with it?

[Impressive...! Chidori inclines her head at the introduction.]

...Chidori. How did you make it, if I might ask?

[quarkylass]

I alchemized it. It's a kind of game science! But my friend Kanaya said she would teach me how to sew for real at home...she just never got around to it.

Did you make yours?

[floreatnoctem]

Game science? I'm afraid I don't understand.

[What shenanigans are these and how do they work. Chidori looks down at her own dress, and then nods slightly.]

I did. It took me quite some time.

[quarkylass]

It's very confusing! I guess you can say it just came into being?

[ She looks completely blown away, though. ] That's so cool. I was supposed to learn how to sew, but the person who was going to teach me disappeared.

[floreatnoctem]

Interesting.

[And definitely confusing. At the mention of learning to sew, Chidori gives her a measuring look.]

I am certain someone here would teach you, if you asked. There are a surprising number here who sew.

[quarkylass]

I'll have to ask a lot of people! I want to learn everything I can, in case I need to make something one day.

[floreatnoctem]

Then I shall direct you, at the very least, to Kanji. He's a tall, blonde Japanese boy who looks like he should be in a biker gang. He's a pushover really, so you shouldn't be scared to ask him.

[quarkylass]

People who are in biker gangs can sew...?

[floreatnoctem]

You never know what someone can do unless you ask.

[quarkylass]

I guess that shouldn't be surprising! A lot of people do things that they like, but other people might not know it.

[floreatnoctem]

Exactly. Besides, the people who hide things are usually the best at them.

[quarkylass]

Right! My friend who writes stories never shares them, but they're really good when she does! I don't really have any skills that I hide, but that's okay. There have to be both types of people, I think.

[floreatnoctem]

There certainly can.

...I could teach you too, if you wanted.

[quarkylass]

[ G A S P ]

You would do that? Really?

[floreatnoctem]

[Nod nod.]

I don't see why not. I have very little else to really occupy my time with.

[quarkylass]

That would be so much fun! I promise that I'll work really hard!

[floreatnoctem]

Good- I don't take kindly to slacking off when I'm spending my time teaching someone. When would you like to start, Jade?

[quarkylass]

Whenever you're ready! I don't really have much to do yet. Oh-- I could help you find stuff, if you needed it. I'm good at finding things.

[floreatnoctem]

That would certainly be helpful. I do hesitate to request more fabric from the tower, with the way things tend to go.

[quarkylass]

What do you mean? The way what goes?

[floreatnoctem]

Sometimes one has to be very careful with what they ask for from the people in the tower. They have a way of twisting things around to suit them.

[quarkylass]

[ She pauses, as if she's been told something extremely important. ] I'll remember that. Are the people the ones who run this place? Or someone else?
