❝friendship affirmation party❞

[guiltapalooza]

Characters: LOTS OF PEOPLE just look at the tags, gosh. Start your own threads, hop into others, and generally be free with your tagging decisions.
Setting: Floor 4, the one with the big glass windows and lots of couches.
Format: Action tags!
Summary: Clearly what the tower needs right now is a party, and Willow and Aradia have thrown one.
Warnings: Nada. Good clean fun.

[It's never exactly a clear day around this floor of the tower, but the billowing clouds outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows are maybe a bit lighter and fluffier. There's a positive atmosphere spread across the whole level, mostly from the colorful lights sprinkled here and there, magical in nature and of all different colors. They glow like small fairies.

But the biggest pieces in the room are the couches and armchairs, strategically laid out in different circles, with tables in the center. Snacks and drinks stolen from the kitchen are on the tables, so nothing too spectacular-- but there are several batches of baked goods that Willow's made, cookies and brownies and so on. There's also some board games and decks of cards placed here and there, the obvious Earth ones included and some not so obvious other ones that she hadn't recognized.

Anyone who wants to is welcome to show up, whether invited or not, whether they know Willow or Aradia or not. Fun is going to be had, darn it. However, everyone on the floor, just for today, is privy to an anti-violence ward that will prevent any motions toward violence from completing. A punch won't land, psychic powers mysteriously won't do anything if they try to cause harm, and so on. As the tower is not fond of being affected in any way, this is an effect the characters have put on them from crossing the threshold from the stairwell, and it will be automatically removed when they leave. It is not noticeable unless they try something or are particularly sensitive to magic.

It also won't last forever, so if you really want to get into a fight, do it while the party's winding down. Willow's wards are good but they aren't up to altering-the-tower-without-major-consequences level, and she's made them mild enough to wear off on their own after several hours.

You're really here to have fun, though, right? You knew where to go because of the network post.]

[Sollux waits until her boyfriend is pulled away by a card game before approaching Willow]

Hey, nithe party. It'th not lame at all.

[guiltapalooza]

Thanks! --Wait, you mean that, right? Did I miss the sarcasm, because sometimes I have to check.

[thekidsare0kay]

I mean it! [he laughs] I wathn't being tharcathtic thith time.

[guiltapalooza]

Oh, good. [She grins.] I thought not, but high school has taught me well the ways of subtle mockery.

It's nice to see you in person, anyway!

[thekidsare0kay]

I know I'm a troll, but I'm not alwayth an athhhole. Yeah, it'th been a while.

[guiltapalooza]

You're hardly ever an asshole, [she scolds lightly, though still in good humor.] I'm just not used to talking to people so much on the computer. Not people I care about, anyway, usually it's more like... research on the latest demon.

[thekidsare0kay]

That'th totally not true. [He chuckles] I'm going crathy with having tho few computerth here. I alwayth talked to everyone online, nearly all the time.

[guiltapalooza]

Well, you aren't to me, and that's what I care about!

Do you think we could find enough parts to build our own? If I'm going to be trying to get into the tower's database, I really shouldn't be doing it from one of their own terminals, anyway.

[thekidsare0kay]

[He grins. Fair enough. Then he shakes his head] I've been trying to athhemble my own terminal for ageth. Every time I try to take thomething apart to cannibalithe it, I forget what I'm doing. And the terminalth can't be dithhathhembled, or damaged, or moved. It fucking thuckth.

[guiltapalooza]

Wha-- really? [So much disappointment on her face right now.] I'm sure they wouldn't give them to us if we just asked, either.

This does suck. I can modify robots, I can't believe I have to work with a public access computer. [She pouts, too disappointed still to think up a possible solution yet.]

[thekidsare0kay]

Yeah, it'th total hoofbeatht shit. And I'm sure they're trying to limit our computer acthethh for thome reathon. [He agrees with your pouty-face, Willow]

[guiltapalooza]

No kidding, they're being total-- total jerks about this! [This is strong wording for her, okay.]

All their preventing us from finding out their secrets with our superior computer skills. I guess I need to shelve that plan.

[thekidsare0kay]

Yeah, fuck them, anyway. Them and their random thcary bearth and thtuff.

[guiltapalooza]

I know! [she bursts out with.] What was with that? How do they think we can believe that they're looking out for us when they play games like that?

[She scowls fiercely.] If they ever stop-- stop cowering and actually show their faces again, we are having words. A lot of words, angry ones. And possibly hexes.

[thekidsare0kay]

It'th all a big fucking ekthperiment. I'm sure of that. They want to thee uth thquirm.

[guiltapalooza]

I'll squirm them, [she huffs.]

But... okay, maybe we should be talking about not upsetting things. It is a party.
