Summary: The giant party is finally here! Mingle, Blind date and strange things ahoy!
Warnings: WHO KNOWS WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

Floor Thirty-Eight. Normally just a simple lounge, it was now Party Central.

It was clear Eikichi had put all of his heart into it. Say what you wanted about him, but he was a good manager and organizer. The place didn't look the same, with the flower bouquets strewing in odd corners, the bright pieces of tissues hung around like garlands. They had no balloons so they made with. A few banners hung into the air, the words crudely painted with Maya's name and wishing her a happy birthday. There was also a few others with the names of the birthdays Eikichi had managed to get.

At the entrance, there was a a few large baskets filled with corsages that Jun had prepared - acacias white (friendship and chaste love), yellow (secret love) and pink (friendship), white violets (Purity; Candor; Modesty; Innocence; Let's take a chance on happiness) and pink roses (Perfect happiness, please believe me; Friendship) expertly woven pieces of stems and grass meant it required no other materials than the flower themselves.

Of course, the meanings were not written. You just had a few to chose from. Then you could offer one to your date to wear on their hand...if you wished.

As Eikichi had said, no pressure.

...Except for coming, of course.

Those that were part of the blind dates had each been given a small piece of paper with a symbol.As they entered they could see a small sign instructing to try and find the other person with the same symbol. This would be their 'date' of the night.

On the farthest left to the entrance, they had dragged in a gigantic music system, with an area for a DJ to run (Tatsuya had helped with the wiring). Some large pieces of metals had been lined up to cover the floor, making a fake stage and on top of that, he had placed various instruments - along with those of his band, of course. The stage would be open for them to play later, regardless.

The main area reserved for food was a few tables that had been dragged in here, covered with whatever tissues they had found and filled with all the food they could take - some of it was typical stuff found in the cafeteria this week (but no gross stuff - Eikichi didn't want living maggots in his cheese today), the rest had been made by those nice enough to help with the cooking. There wasn't that much typical 'party food' as creating your own sweets and chips does take a while, but the jerky meats, the hot soups and the vegetables more than made up for it. The drinks were placed right besides it and who knew how many trips they had needed to set it all up.

There were also cakes on the next table, enough to feed at least everyone in the part a generous slice. Considering the ingredients and the people involved they ranged from the very simple to baked pies using the available fruits, and a single cake which appeared to have more work than the others. They did with what they had, and it was fantastic they had so much at all.

All the chairs and bags found in that room normally were tossed in a corner facing the central area so that people could sit down if they felt like it, but the central area was reserved to talk, mingle and dance once everything REALLY got underway.

It would soon too, once the crowds started to get bigger and bigger.

[OOC - Hello and welcome to the party log! Let's mingle and have fun because the tower doesn't let us have much of it. You can start a brand new thread when you are blind dating and mark them (EIKICHI AND MIYABI ), or if you want to do something like "JADE DJs A FEW SONGS FOR YOU" and people can reply to that. You can make multiple threads to a reply to, so if someone wants to talk to Eikichi, then someone else does later. Just make sure any closed threads are marked with [CLOSED] so other people know they can't pop in! Otherwise...it's free game.

[crescent_mirror]

Ooh, sorry about that!

[hahahahaha, derp]

But cool outfit! Are there shops inside of this tower, or did you make it?

[cant_be_tamed]

[...Um. See, this wouldn't really be a problem to explain if he didn't get them from what's essentially the patron deity of Faron province, sssoooo.]

Ah, no, it was given to me, actually. [It's essentially a hand-me-down.]

[crescent_mirror]

Not bad! I love sales, and one time, I found an entire outfit that only cost me a yen!

It's a really cool outfit, though! You wear it so proudly!

I'm Maya, by the way! What's your name?

[cant_be_tamed]

[Wow, he'd actually be impressed by that if he knew what a yen was. ...In fact, he figures it must be like a rupee or something, so wow, that actually is pretty impressive.

Also hooray, birthday girl alert!]

Thanks...I'm Link. So this party's for you, then?

[crescent_mirror]

I guess so! It's pretty exciting! Eikichi's a good kid, planning all of this with his friends!

[right, can't let people know that she... actually doesn't remember much of him or the others]

I'm still new, so I'm getting to know everybody. So it's nice to meet you, Link!

[cant_be_tamed]

[Oh awww, that's nice of them.]

They must really care about you...aha, nice to meet you too.

[As he says the last part, he holds out his hand for a handshake.]

[crescent_mirror]

[Maya eagerly takes Link's hand, shaking it enthusiastically]

It's always nice to meet a good-looking guy who's not a jerk!

[... this is true.]

So, what kind of world do you come from? You look like you're built enough to herd wild beasts or something.

[cant_be_tamed]

[This is very true, bonus points because apparently misogyny doesn't seem to exist in Hyrule.

There are still plenty of jerks, though.]

I dunno if it's that different, but I used to work on a ranch. ...I mean, I still...work there, but I got caught up in a lot of things.

[crescent_mirror]

A ranch hand! That's so cool!

I used to be a reporter before... well, stuff went down. I guess we're all swept up in extraordinary circumstances, aren't we?

[cant_be_tamed]

[Yeah...nevermind that for him, this was before he showed up here, but anyway!]

Yeah. So...a reporter? Like, you write newspaper articles?

[Yes, it's fairly modern-ish in his time. They've got newspapers!]

[crescent_mirror]

Yeah! Well, I worked at Kismet Publishing, particularly on the teen-focused magazine Coolest! I wish I had a copy with me to show you! In any case, since it focused on teens, I liked to write articles on everybody reaching their dreams! But then that got derailed by rumors, but... heh, at least I get to do what I love!

So, what did you do after the ranch? You sound like you've got a story to tell!

[cant_be_tamed]

[Wow most of that went over his head, but he listens anyway.]

It's...kinda complicated. Some friends from my village got kidnapped and it just...exploded from there, I guess.

[crescent_mirror]

I totally get what you're saying! I was on my way to interviewing someone, and all of the sudden the building was infested with demons and I almost died! I can't even remember half of the things that happened since then!

It's always hard losing friends, though.

[Is that how Tatsuya felt? Why he just couldn't let go of everything, like everybody else? Why he felt so determined to remember everything...?]

Those friends must have been important to you.

[cant_be_tamed]

[Whoa, sounds like she's lucky to even be alive! Maybe their worlds weren't as different as he thought...]

Yeah...most of them were kids. One of them is my surrogate father's son...

[Another one of them was Ilia, but let's not talk about Ilia right now...]

I managed to find them, though, so that was a relief. What about you, though? How'd you survive a demon attack?

[crescent_mirror]

Oh, I managed to survive by using my Persona!

[on cue, Artemis appeared above Maya, in her high-tops]

These are incredibly handy!

[Artemis then fades away]

How about you? What kind of abilities did you use on your adventure?

[cant_be_tamed]

[Wow, he looks a bit....surprised???

Not scared, obviously, never scared, but wow what was that?]

N-Not...that...what'd you say that was? [Like...it's obviously some kind of spirit, but what does it do?]

[crescent_mirror]

Oh, my Persona!

[Artemis appears once again]

This is Artemis! In my world, some of us were given the ability to fight off demons by harnessing the manifestation of our psyches! This one is mine, obviously.

[Artemis once again fades away]

But enough about me! I'm more interested in you!

Young men usually are spurred on by the appearance of a beautiful woman! It's a time-old story - a demon king kidnaps your childhood friend, and you do everything you can to save her!

[cant_be_tamed]

[ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING HIM, YOU CAN DO SUMMONING MAGIC!! Like, that is pretty...rare? Even when he lives in a place where gods and spirits and demons are accepted and proven facts, not very many people can actually do magic like that, just...wow.

It's also an accepted and proven fact that most Links are uncomfortable talking about themselves, and the way she's phrasing what she's asking makes him...not uncomfortable, just a bit embarrassed. Though, he was probably asking for this for talking to a reporter.]

Uh. [Nervous cough.] I guess...doesn't really seem like a story thing, but I did find her!

[Too bad she didn't remember him, ahahaha. Ahhh....]

[crescent_mirror]

Wow, that's great! I'm so happy for you!

[yes, because every love story needs a happy ending.]

I'm sure your happily-ever-after is gonna come, you just have to think positively!
