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.

[Nobody could really be expected to act so dignified after what had happened there. And nobody would have asked her to tried. Even Legolas behaved childishly, insulting Ruana in Elvish.]

If they would be willing, why not? I certainly wouldn't want any damage to come to this.

[Legolas could understand that sentiment though. And he, admittedly, liked that she had indulged in dressing up.]

A prince you say? Shall I play the part and ask the fair princess to a dance then?

[sageprincess]

Oh? [Now there's a statement she's kind of surprised by. Though she recovers quickly, chalking it up to small talk.] I shall see to it that it is kept out of harms way, then.

[And then there's another light chuckle, though Legolas might glean a bit of nervousness to it. Sure, she can look the part of fairytale princess easily enough, but acting like it is another story. Her life has hardly lent itself to learning the more graceful arts.]

Aha, you may need to find another to play that role, I think. This princess is not very skilled at dancing.

[keeps_count]

[Legolas laughed very softly and took her hand, leaning down slightly to kiss the back of her hand]

And neither am I. Have you forgotten already that I am a warrior? If that is your wish though, we can forgo a dance.

[sageprincess]

[... Oh. Um. She... wasn't expecting anything like that, no. And while she's trying so very hard not to be flustered, that playful nature she had does sort of evaporate.]

That would be for the best, yes.

[keeps_count]

As you wish, arwenamin.

[Sorry Zelda, he's very playful. And almost always in high spirits. He does feel a bit guilty that he had flustered her so and made a mental note about avoiding that in the future.]

[sageprincess]

[That word again... Clearing her throat of her nerves, she latches onto the chance to change the topic wholeheartedly.]

Pardon my ignorance, but that is the second time you have referred to me as-- [And then, very carefully:] --arwenamin. May I ask what it means?

[keeps_count]

[Oh, very clever Zelda. Legolas knows what you're doing but he's letting it at that. Because he's a gentleman and she's a princess. And because he respects her.]

Forgive me. It is Elvish for 'my lady.'

[sageprincess]

[Evading is her thing. And she's had seven years to get good at it.]

I see. [More polite than playful, her smile returns.] Thank you for indulging me, though I must say, if you wish to simply call me Zelda, I would not be insulted.

[He's seen her at one of the lowest points she's ever reached, after all.]

[keeps_count]

[So she has!]

Are you certain? I don't wish to cross any lines that others wouldn't.

[sageprincess]

Would I say as much if I did not mean it?

[An idle tilt of her head.]

I am simply saying you have that option, should you wish to use it. I understand it makes those who are more accustomed to being around more traditional royalty uncomfortable, though.

[keeps_count]

Quite true, Lady Zelda, but there are many occasions where I have heard one say something but only for the sake of being polite.

[Legolas gives her the slightest of bows and nods. It wasn't exactly that he was uncomfortable with calling her Zelda so much as it was a respect he gave everyone in positions of importance.]

Very well then, Zelda.

[sageprincess]

If I were concerned with issues of politeness and propriety in this matter, I would not give you such an option, would I?

[To refer to her so casually. Certainly not traditional royal etiquette, at least. She smiles a bit, taking a few steps out into the party.]

Now, we have spent plenty of time loitering around the entrance, hm? It would be rude to keep your date waiting, Legolas.

[keeps_count]

You are correct, of course.

[Not at all but he doesn't mind referring to her in such a friendly manner.]

We have indeed. I shall have to be diligent in finding my partner now.

[sageprincess]

I shall not keep you any more than I have already, then. After all, I have a few things I must attend to as well.

[Like keeping an eye on certain people.]
