❝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.]

[AH - NO. So many people - and he's so small! Being only a little bigger than three feet is not good when everyone else is so much taller than you - it's so hard to not get tripped on or anything...

So he's trying (TRYING) to make his way over to the safety of a sofa, hopefully to sit on top of the back.
Or hide under it.
Something safe.]

[Have a troll nearly running you over, Link.

Whoops!]

Ah, I'm sorry.

[Blink, blink. Wow, you're kinda tiny, kid.]

[cantstopme]

N-no, it's okay.

I'm kind of hard to see, here...

[Yeah, he knows he is. Don't remind him.
Being an itty bitty hero sucks you know.

He looks up at Eridan though, and gives him a smile.]

Oh - you're a troll, like Gamzee! 'Scept your horns are different - they're really neat looking!

[chronomancer]

Just a little bit.

[Eridan grinned, then blinked, then smiled.]

Oh, are you a friend of Gamzee's? I'm Eridan.

[cantstopme]

Mhm! He calls me his little Linkbro. And, um... that means I'm Link!
It's really nice to meet you, Eridan!

[If it's not obvious, he's really excited to meet you, trollbro.]

[chronomancer]

Heh, he would. He calls me Jadebro. Or Fishbro.

[He shakes his head, amused.]

It's nice to meet you too, Link. Are you enjoying the party?

[cantstopme]

I am! There's a lot of good treats, and everyone here is happy. It's really great to see, after all that happened, you know?

[Not that he's going to go into what happened, of course.]

Are you having fun, too?

[chronomancer]

I know, it's a nice respite from all that dying.

[He shakes his head and shrugs.]

I... guess I am, yeah. It's good to see people enjoying themselves.

[cantstopme]

[... Link can't help tilting his head a bit, curiously.]

Well... seeing others happy is good, but you said that like... like you aren't happy.

[He won't push it though!]

There's a lot of fun things to do, here! They really thought of a lot for this party. It's so neat.

[chronomancer]

Oh, I am. I am, it's just.

[His eyes trail over to the other side of the room, to a familiar pair of horns, and he might be looking a little bit smitten there, but this is just the usual when it comes to him and his moirail. No matter where she is, he can zoom in on her without even so much as a thought. Eridan shakes his head, blushing a little. God, he's waxing pale so hard it's embarrassing. He clears his throat and looks back at Link.]

Yeah, Willow did a great job with this, I'm starting to think it's her thing, parties.
