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.

Comments

[complementing]

Well, the fruit punch is good. Or any of the juice we have, really, since we're not offering alcohol.

[keeps_count]

That's sensible, there are children here.

[And he's not talking about everyone younger than himself, like he might usually.]

Fruit punch sounds delicious.

[complementing]

That and I don't think this party really needs it, you know? This is like a get-together, meet-and-greet party.

[She pours him the drink with a flourish.]

Here you go!

[keeps_count]

That is an excellent reason as well.

[He gladly accepts the drink and grins to her.]

Care to join me in a drink?

[complementing]

Oh sure, I'd love to! The food table should be okay without me manning it. [She steps out from behind the table and then pours her drink.]

I'm Minako Arisato, by the way.

[keeps_count]

I'm sure it will be.

A pleasure, Lady Arisato. I am Legolas.

[complementing]

It's nice to meet you. And you don't have to call me 'lady' or anything like that. Minako is fine.

[keeps_count]

Very well then, Minako.

[He wasn't used to be so friendly with those he just met but if that's what she wanted, he had no reason to disregard her request.]

[complementing]

Thank you. By the way, what kind of place do you come from? I mean, we obviously come from different places. [She gestures vaguely to their outfits.]

[keeps_count]

I come from a world called Arda, specifically Middle Earth. And I make my home in Eryn Lasgalen, a great forest. And yourself?

[complementing]

Aeirin Rasgaren-- [She has a hard time pronouncing that for a moment before brightening.]

From modern day Japan! It just became the year 2010 when I left it.

[keeps_count]

Perhaps Mirkwood would be easier. That is what we called it throughout the Third Age.

I should like to hear about Japan, if ever you would care to indulge me?

[complementing]

Oh, yeah, that's a lot easier. [She smiles sheepishly before perking up.]

Sure thing! I can answer any questions you have right now!

[keeps_count]

I thought that it might be. [Legolas just grins.]

What is it like? What races inhabit the land?

[complementing]

Races? Uhh...just human...?

[Because he is an elf and she's pretty sure elves don't understand the concept of 'race' versus 'ethnicity'.]

For the most part, anyways.

[keeps_count]

Only humans?

[Not really, nope. Although, there were Silvan Elves and Sindarin Elves and several more so he might?]

[complementing]

Yeah, our world is a little...average like that. I do know that they can be more than just normal humans though. Some of them have magic powers.

[keeps_count]

I've never heard of humans having magic, it must be impressive. I would like to see it some day.

[complementing]

Well, my magic isn't an indicator of what everyone else can do, but would you like to see?

[keeps_count]

I would, yes. Only when you wish to do so however, I'm not sure the party would be the best time.

[complementing]

Oh, it's okay, I can do something small.

[She glances around furtively to make sure nobody is looking (and thus accidentally freak out) before pulling the gun out of her holster and pressing it to her temple. She lets it go off with a bang, and in the next moment a pale faced, blond girl appears next to Minako. She does a little curtsy to signal her arrival.]

I'm...I guess you could say I'm a summoner! I call beings called Personas to do my magic for me.

[keeps_count]

[If he knew what a gun was, he'd panic a lot more. Instead, the elf simply jumps a bit and looks startled at the sound and the sudden appearance of the Persona.]

That is a small demonstration? It's impressive! Very much so! I'm curious what a large demonstration would be.

[complementing]

[She smiles at his reaction, happy that she's able to entertain him a little.]

That would be a giant fire-breathing dragon!
