❝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.]

[As they should.]

...Both, I guess.

[windykind]

Oh, that's cool. [John nods. Between him and Riku, the social inadequacy being expelled in this conversation is going to ignite in no less than three tags.] Have you been standing here all day?

[justabignobody]

[Likely.]

...Just for the last few minutes.

[Uhm, Riku. You should probably substitute 'few' with 'fifteen'. orz]

[windykind]

Well come on, let's go do something! You can't just sit around all day and stare at the back of your blindfold. [Well, you can, but John will not allow it.]

[justabignobody]

[He tilts his head a little.]

What would you suggest we do?

[windykind]

Wanna go play a board game or something? [He points. There are several tables set up just for that occasion. John is determined to make his roomie blossom into a social butterfly if it's the last thing he does.]

[justabignobody]

[...Good luck with that.

He turns his head towards the tables, frowning curiously. He supposes... there is no harm looking. Or well... 'looking'. Nor in getting to know his roommate better.]

Sure.

[windykind]

[BEAM. Mission successful!]

Yesss! [He moves through the mob of people, looking back every so often to check that Riku hasn't given him the slip.]

[justabignobody]

[Somewhere there is a smile flickering over Riku's face at that reaction. Honestly...

Also, John might see him drift more towards two-person-games, rather than anything that requires three or more people.]

[windykind]

[Sure, good enough for him. Soon enough the two have gotten their hands on a deck of cards. He holds them up to Riku.]

What games do you know?
