towerofanimus | ❝friendship affirmation party❞

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.]

[A nod - though a slight stiffen at the bounching before he relaxes at the voice. Not a shoegazer - just a human.]

..Yu. Minami. [The first name is slightly guarded, but that's because he really doesn't know what to make of Yu, but the second? Is a little more friendlier. Sorta.

--Ok so the bouncing is making him nervous a bit. Not like Ventus will tell though, so have a curious head tilt.]

[Even though he can't blame Ventus with what happened, he isn't really sure what actually transpired. All he remembers is Izanagi's voice then 'waking up' in the art gallery...

He shakes his head.] We only met recently. [His tone is much more friendly than it had been before, that much is certain- doesn't sound as guarded.] Yu Narukami. Nice to meet you, Minami-san.

[He pauses a bit, turning to Ventus.] ...and if Izanagi did anything, I'm sorry.

[Minami glances at Yu when she hears the phrase 'Izanagi' and glances between the two of them. Her weight shifts from foot to foot as she looks between them. Did the collars get mixed up for someone else, too?]

Who's Izanagi? Another friend of yours?

[Izanagi? Ventus frowns at the name - then gives a mental shrug. not his place to question it anyway. He nods with a passive acceptance. The lack of guarded tone is noted, too.] It's fine. Nothing happened.

[And the field goes to Yu for Minami's question.]

[He pauses, looking a little relieved. He knows there are two other parts of 'Izanagi' but... Yu looks to Minako, wondering if he should even mention it after what happened with the other Minato. But then, it would only be right to explain to Ventus what all just happened. If they don't believe him, then there isn't much he can say to change that fact.]

... He's my Persona.

[Minami blinks at him, her eyes going wide, when she just blurts out:]

You have a Persona, too?

[She hasn't met the ~~P4 cast~~ Inaba group yet. Of course she wouldn't know there were others.]

[Head tilt.

'What's a persona'? is what he wants to ask, but - he can't. So have a curious sound.]

[...It truly is a small tower, after all. He blinks, nodding.]

Yeah. [Several really, but why would he mention being a Wild Card user right off the bat? He also heard that curious sound.] Ah, you don't know?

A Persona is a manifestation of the personality, a Shadow that's been tamed and controlled by the ego. [A pause, and a glance down.] In other words, what I lost control of when we met. Sorry.

[A very small tower. Minami stares at him a moment, then smiles. So there's even more people out there than SEES and Strega? awesome.]

We'll need to compare notes later. This is a party! Not a time to talk shop.

But, yeah, that's pretty much it, Ventus. Either of you guys want anything to eat?

[My, that is a large stack of food Minami has with her.]

It's fine. Nothing happened.

[A blink at the offer of food then a small head tilt.] ... If you do mind.

[Because he ate when he woke up but he is hungry again and while he normally ignores it... He wouldn't refuse an offer from anyone.]

That's a relief. [A sigh. He's glad he trusted Izanagi-no-Okami, even though... ugh, just thinking about it made his skin crawl.

Yeah, Yu noticed the stack of food. It almost reminded him of a certain rainy day special in sheer volume alone, but- no, not going to go there. Like people he pretty much just met needed to know how much of a big eater he is. His nod seconds Ven, lightly tapping his foot as he shifts to face her better.]

Quite a stack you have there, Minami. [Big eaters unite...? Possibly?]

Yeah! I'm a little hungry so I thought a light dinner couldn't hurt.

[If Ventus is a big eater as well, then.... BIG EATERS UNITE! Minami may be a girl but she is not afraid to stuff her face when the situation calls for it.]

You guys want some?

[She taps a finger on the rim of the plate to emphasize her offer, the nail making a clinking sound against the porcelain.]

[Ventus isn't really a big eater, but two out of three isn't that bad.

A small headtilt, then a nod. It can't hurt and he won't eat that much.] ..Sure.

[...Yep. He has to agree about the "light" part, even if that is a bit much for the usual.]

Why not? [Though knowing him, he should probably just get his own. ...He promises to restrain himself.]
