Characters: Anyone and everyone
Setting: Cafeteria, Noon, Nov 7th
Format: Anything
Summary: A party/discussion mingle after calling a meeting of the residents.
Warnings: tba


The anonymous post on the network was an invitation to gather, discuss and share information. Maybe they would get incredibly lucky and get to the bottom of things, such as who was behind the bombings or the strange things that went on during Quarantine.

Someone has been at work down here in the dining hall, moving the tables around to create a space in the middle in case people felt like dancing. Most of the chairs are around the outside and facing the middle, for everyone to see each other better. There was another space and some chairs for musicians, and a couple of the larger tables were set up with a large buffet of normal cafeteria food (because Zo wasn't likely to poison them) and resident prepared dishes, both clearly marked.

Of course, there was always the oatmeal.

[No matter how bad things get, Amelia is never one to turn down a party invitation. For one thing, the more she can surround herself with people, the better.

As such she's standing in the thick of things, wings tucked carefully out of the way, holding a drink and a plate of food while she sways to the music. It's catchy and she likes it. She smiles when others approach her.]

Hey! How's it going?

[bashfulshifter]

S-Staying out of t-t-trouble?

[The blonde man most certainly isn't in the thick of things, but everyone migrates to the snack bar eventually--particularly the one providing snacks. His occasional trips to replace and reorganize the finger sandwiches and drinks are about all the social interaction he can handle, so he might as well make good use of that energy while he has it.]

[ladyliberty]

[Well Amelia is certainly a frequenter of the snack bar. She rolls her eyes a bit at Rick's question, but her mouth is quirked in amusement.]

Yes mom.

1/2

[bashfulshifter]

[What? But I'm not your mother! What kind of witchcraft is this?]

2/2

[bashfulshifter]

[No I kid, Rick's not that thick. He recovers from the snark quick enough.]

W-What? Just m-making sure...h-have to ch--check when it c-comes to you.

[ladyliberty]

Wow, I'm offended? What kind of trouble do you think I get into?

[bashfulshifter]

[Rick scratches the back of his head and chuckles nervously, because oh no, he might have actually hit a nerve? He is so bad at reading these kinds of things.]

Eh...I w-was your a-age once. I can g-guess.

[SPOILERS no he can't.]

[ladyliberty]

[SPOILERS she's just funnin' him. Amelia laughs.]

I don't think you were ever like me.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Veronica turns around and sees...

Oh...]

Uh... h-hey... p-pretty good...

[ladyliberty]

[Oh yourself.]

Oh, uh... that's good. Cool.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Oh indeed.]

...h-how are you doing? D-did you g-get enough candy?

[ladyliberty]

Oh, eventually, yeah. I'm okay. [Staaaare]

How'd you make out?

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Oh... O-okay, I guess...

[Froooown]

...I was killed.

[ladyliberty]

[Awkward.]

...oh.

[terreifying]

[Rei is nodding along to the music, watching people dance, but not dancing herself.]

I'm okay. And you?

[ladyliberty]

About as well as can be expected in this place. Not so bad.

[terreifying]

[She nods.]

I'm glad to hear it.

[She sighs.]

It's a real shame there were no costumes for the game this time. I liked the costumes we got last time.

[ladyliberty]

There were costumes last time? [She knows they must have been some kind of eldritch horror, but Amelia can't help but think that costumes would have been better than shadow children.]

[terreifying]

Yeah, they were cool, but if you didn't get enough candy, then they shrank and killed you. And then you came back all weird.

[ladyliberty]

Gross!

[undroppedeaves]

[Sam also has food in his hands and he smiles at the lady that speaks to him] Well enough miss, are you enjoying yourself?

[ladyliberty]

Oh, you know it. I'd never say no to a party.

[undroppedeaves]

Well I'm glad to hear it, this place was in sore need of a party if you ask me. [Celebration was important, even through the tough times.]

[ladyliberty]

Dude, tell me about it. After all that crap with those creepy shadow things, I think we could all use a drink.

[undroppedeaves]

I think we could. [Pity that there was a distinctive lack of ale] Have you been here for long miss?
