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

[morituramfides]

[There's a definite increase to his anxiety in his composure at that, but he didn't seem very game to explain himself, as he shrugged ever so slightly.]

They'll be fine. I'll see 'em around later.

[quarkylass]

Are you sure?

You could make new friends. [ ... ] I'm Jade.

[morituramfides]

Not really in the market for anyone knew. Go make your own friends.

[Said pretty scornfully, but not with as much poison as you might expect with how much he didn't want to talk about this.

And no he's not going to give her his name because what is exchanging names.]

[quarkylass]

Well I want to talk to you! Even if you aren't looking for any new friends.

[morituramfides]

...Why?

[He's still mostly disinterested and annoyed, but he does turn a bit to actually get a glimpse of her. He's dealt with annoying friendship freaks before, but it's still a bit of genuinely surprising question.]

[quarkylass]

I'm curious. I like to meet new people. And sometimes quiet people have the best stories!

[morituramfides]

[...]

All of my stories are shit. Ain't much of a storyteller anyway.

[quarkylass]

They're not stories if they're real, I guess.

[morituramfides]

[He shrugged again.] I guess it'll be a story to someone some day, if anyone remembers. Oral tradition ain't worth shit, though.

[quarkylass]

People always remember, even if it ends up fragmented in time.

[morituramfides]

[He rubbed the back of his neck as he continued talking.]

Nah. Not mine. At the risk of sounding like a brooding little shit head, it's better this way.

[quarkylass]

I don't think it's brooding, it might just be realism. [ And she shrugs. ] I'm not so good at that.

[morituramfides]

Trust me kid, reality is just as much shit. [o wait is he almost kind of being amused here, that can't be right!!] Dealing with it's just slapped me in the face.

[quarkylass]

Well, something's got to be better than walking around in shit all the time!

[ She's not upset she's just silly. ALSO JADE WILL WIN YOU OVER ]

[morituramfides]

I think I'd need a shoe-shiner more than anything, if that was the case.

[...Kind of a joke but kind of dismissive??]

[quarkylass]

I would get you one!

[ Completely ignoring the dismissive part!! :D ]

[morituramfides]

[CRAP he...kind of can't resist a chuckle at that. It probably wasn't a wholly nice chuckle, but it wasn't entirely mean either at least.]

Why bother?

[quarkylass]

Well, because...because you'd need one.

[ She sounds entirely confused. In this metaphorical situation would he not want to get the shit off of his shoes? ]

I don't really think there needs to be a good reason to help somebody.

[morituramfides]

You're weird. [Continuing the record for probably trying to be a condescending ass again, but somehow just sounding lightly amused.]

Most people don't offer to help strangers.

[Oh like you know anything about normal.]

[quarkylass]

Well someone has to! I like being helpful and friendly. And I know I'm weird.

[morituramfides]

That so? [Man he has never dealt with someone so normally nice how does he even keep talking]

...Hm. Name's Jin.

[quarkylass]

Of course! [ You just deal with it, Jade will do some talking for you. ] I'm Jade, it's nice to mee you!

[morituramfides]

[Dealing with it is definitely something he can do. Hopefully.]

Good to meet you too.
