❝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.]

[Dawn turns herself to face John now that he's moved]

Well, there's the Dolorosa, who's really nice...and another girl but I haven't really spoken to her much yet.

[windykind]

[John thinks for a moment.] The Dolorosa...? I don't think I know her. Is she here?

[littlemissnobody]

[Dawn lifts onto tip-toe, scanning the room]

I don't see her...she's one of the trolls, but older than a lot of the ones here, I think?

[windykind]

Oh, like an adult one? Neat! I met one of them before. He was... pretty freaky, but okay, I guess.

[littlemissnobody]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

[And now she's curious]

Freaky how?

[windykind]

I dunno. He had this thing where he was TALKING REALLY LOUD and then talking really softly. But he seemed like a good guy! Like, we just sat there and talked about stuff that happened when he was a kid. I felt like his psychiatrist or something. But I don't think trolls even have psychiatrists, so that's understandable.

wow, that was quite the impressive fail there, self

[littlemissnobody]

Oh...they don't? Seems there's a lot of stuff they don't have that we do.

shoosh, it's okay <3

[windykind]

Well, I don't know for sure, but from what I know it seems like you're supposed to be totally insane by the time you grow up. [Le shrug.]

[littlemissnobody]

Really? I didn't really get that from Dolorosa.

[windykind]

Well, like I said, I've never met her! But I've talked to a couple of other trolls and that's what I understand. Maybe we should just ask one sometime.

[littlemissnobody]

Maybe...though, if they are all supposed to be insane, I'm not sure we should really just walk up and ask them if they are.

[windykind]

Well, duh. [John nods.] We have to be more general about it. Like, ask them an open-ended question. "What are adults on your world like?" or something.

[littlemissnobody]

That might work.

[Glancing around the room]

We could try and find someone to ask now?

we should probably get someone else in this thread nao :|b

[windykind]

Yeah, let's. Uhh... [John starts looking around.] They... shouldn't be too hard to find...

Yusssssssss /flags down any passing trolls

[littlemissnobody]

Sure. I mean, they tend to be pretty stand-out with the skin and horns and stuff.
