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.

ELVISH SINGING YEAAAAAH

[keeps_count]

[Anyone feel like Elvish singing? Well you're getting Elvish singing from Legolas. Deal with it.]

Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen,
yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!
Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier
mi oromardi lisse-miruvóreva
Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar
nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
ómaryo airetári-lírinen.

Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva?

An sí Tintallë Varda Oiolossëo
ve fanyar máryat Elentári ortanë,
ar ilyë tier undulávë lumbulë;
ar sindanóriello caita mornië
i falmalinnar imbë met, ar hísië
untúpa Calaciryo míri oialë.
Sí vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar!

Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar.
Nai elyë hiruva.
Namárië!

[fusedstars]

[Hei was just standing there, leaning against the wall and enjoying the singing. Yes, his face had been blank, but hey, it wasn't a scowl or anything. This music had been LEAGUES better than what the experiment had put him through.]

Not bad.

[keeps_count]

[Legolas grins and bows just slightly, looking pleased with himself.]

I'm glad, it has been some time since I sang.

[fusedstars]

When was the last time?

[keeps_count]

A bit over a century ago, that I really sang. Which, in hindsight, isn't that long ago to me.

I did entertain a few others while I was in the pods last month but I hardly considered than singing.

[fusedstars]

A century? [He raises an eyebrow. He was in the pods as well. Those qualities made it clear as to why the tower would want this individual.]

I take it you aren't human? [Certainly had strange ears like Wei at least.]

[technologic]

[Once April has pulled away from food and dancing, she'll stop to listen to him. And she'll give some applause when he's finished singing.]

Wow, that was pretty good!

[keeps_count]

[Legolas grins and takes a slight bow.]

I'm very glad that you thought so.

[technologic]

Um, if you don't mind me asking, what language were you singing in?

[keeps_count]

I don't mind at all. It was elvish, specifically Quenyan.

[technologic]

Elvish? [There's some silence for a few moments as she thinks, before she looks surprised.] Ah, are you an elf?

[deathboss]

[Possibly one of the times Eikichi wished he had a lighter to hold it up in the air because dude that was SO AWESOME.

So, so awesome. He had an idea of what Elvish ballades should sound like, but...it just sounded better in person preformed by a real elf, you know?]

That was great!

[keeps_count]

[All Elvish ballades sounded better when sung by Elves.]

I am glad that you thought so. A shame Haldir did not come, it would have sounded better with more than one voice.

[moontothetide]

[Legolas might catch sight of Tara, either during his singing or just after. The girl's lips are moving, very faintly, as she tries to mimic and follow the words of the song...and, predictably, fails at it. Elvish feels like trying to fold her tongue twice on itself, or trying to tie a cherry stem into a knot.]

[keeps_count]

[Yep, saw her. And once he's finished, he goes to join her, looking slightly amused as she tries to imitate the words that he had sung.]

Shall I help you?

[moontothetide]

Um...yes, please. [Needless to say, Tara looks quite embarrassed.] S-Sorry. I mean...it sounds really pretty and, and I'm making it sound...weird.

[keeps_count]

It's alright, it can be a hard language to learn if you do not speak the Elven tongue. That is why I usually speak the Common Tongue, rather than hoping others understand me.

[moontothetide]

Common Tongue? Is, um, is that what we're all speaking?

...I was wondering why I could understand everyone. I mean, um, thinking everyone from so many different worlds could speak English is a bit silly. Especially when a lot of them seem like they're Japanese.

elvish singing is not a thing to miss!

[death_awaits_you]

Oh wow, you have a beautiful voice - and that song was beautiful, too. And yet... sad, somehow.

[ Even so, Ryoji smiles, appreciative of the elf sharing his song, sad or not. ]

It defintiely isn't!

[keeps_count]

[Legolas gives a slight bow and a smile.]

It is a bit sad but there are much sadder songs to be found. Such as the Lay of Nimrodel.

/slides in here all late and suchlike

[kamikozy]

That was lovely...!

[Miyabi is beaming- and though she didn't understand a word, she recognizes talent when she hears it. She really wishes she understood it though, she'd like to know what it all means.]

Never late!

[keeps_count]

I am glad that you think so.

[Legolas gives the slightest of bows and one of his most charming of smiles.]

awesome

[kamikozy]

[Miyabi's smile brightens a little at the friendly response, and she clasps her hands together a little and leans forward a bit.]

What was the song about?

[keeps_count]

It is most often called the Song of the Elves beyond the Sea. The word "Namarie" means 'farewell' in Quenya. It seems as though it would be a sad song but many Elves have gone West and many more will.

[kamikozy]

Quenya... that's your language, I take it? [She's already settling into her usual journalist's instincts, wondering just how many questions will be too many... and how many she'll ask regardless.] Oh- are your people migrating to a new home, or something? Or did something happen?
