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.

Comments

[Enjoying yourself, Narukami? That's nice. Adachi wishes he could.

He'll be interrupting Yu's magical little night with Xion at some point after his conversation with Tatsuya, Jun, and Eikichi, getting his attention by clapping a hand on the brat's back. Hard.]

Oi, Narukami. Mind if I cut in?

[pitiedthefool]

[Enjoying? What's enjoying when he is keeping an eye on you half the time when able to without being suspicious? Regardless, he was having some fun with his friend before he feels that, eye twitching because it's a decent-sized blip on his pain radar, and the fact that Izanagi-no-Okami reacted slightly as well. Adachi, what are you doing?]

... [It's all he can do to keep his tone neutral after that, but he especially doesn't want Xion to worry. ] Not at all.

[He bows his head in apology to Xion.] ...I'll be back, alright?

[attheclocktower]

[Xion's visibly startled by the interruption. There's something... maybe concerning about it? It's hard to tell and she... isn't the greatest at reading social cues. Yu's tone of voice is slightly reassuring though, so there's only a faint hint of concern as she nods.]

Okay.

[1/2]

[pitythefool]

[Adachi also flashes Xion his usual saccharine smile, not lifting that hand from Narukami's shoulder for a second.]

Sorry. [No he isn't.] This won't take too long.

[pitythefool]

[And with that, he steers Narukami away and into the crowd. Now, there's a fine line between guiding someone and shoving them, and it goes without saying that Adachi's straddling that line pretty delicately at this point.]

Y'know, Narukami, I thought we had an understanding.

(1/2) oh, these keywords...

[pitiedthefool]

[Yu is completely calm outwardly the entire time, even so much as flashing a reassuring smile to Xion as they turn away. 'Won't take too long,' his ass.]

they are so ironic.

[pitiedthefool]

[He doesn't make any sign as they walk away, even though he is close to digging his feet at the shoving. Lucky for him, there are too many people here to really get away with it for long. Even as they walk, he has an idea of what brought this on.

After all, someone had to distract Dojima so he couldn't get suspicious... Those three were kind of like thugs with good intentions.]

I told you before, didn't I? [He glances over his shoulder, keeping his voice low and neutral.] I said that no one who'd start anything unless you acted first knows.

[pitythefool]

And I said that you should keep your mouth shut. [And stay away from Adachi, but details.] That was the deal. You don't say anything and I won't do anything. And I didn't.

[pitiedthefool]

Let me guess: they gave you a similar talk that someone gave me.

[Sigh. He might as well explain it, before things get even more out of hand.]

Look. I've been here for months, Adachi. Michel approached me not long after he arrived and automatically knew I had a Persona. Most of the people I've met from the past noticed even with them hidden. In fact, this was all brought up in a meeting before you arrived.

[They already knew. If anything, he's saved someone from becoming roadkill just for showing his face in this tower. So really, which was worse?]

[pitythefool]

[It's not a matter of which was worse. It's a matter of everything is bad right now.]

You kids seriously had a meeting about--- [He snorts derisively.] Geez, you would.

[Perfect. Just perfect. The Brat Pack's turning into a Brat League.]

So what's gonna stop any of them from talking, huh?

[pitiedthefool]

[Deal with it.]

Stay around long enough, and you just might find out why.

[It's almost like he's daring him to stay alive for a bit longer, but there is nothing in his tone to hint at it. In fact, it's almost... defeated? No, not quite. More like weary.]

None of them are the type of people to go rumor mongering. [Unlike certain people he knows...] Those three especially.

[pitythefool]

[Tempted as Adachi is to call bullshit, he just lets out a humorless laugh.]

Well, I guess I've got no choice but to take your word for it.

[His eyes briefly dart around the room as he tries to get a bead on Lisa. Where'd she get off to now?]

Shit. Just do me a favor, all right? Don't fuck this up for me any more than you already have.

[pitiedthefool]

[At least it was just a laugh and not something worse...]

You would have gotten that talk regardless of what I did. They're protective of their own. [Gee, isn't that familiar? Yu sighs, but nods slightly.]

This party's neutral ground. Go enjoy your night.

[pitythefool]

...You too.

[Uh-oh. There's something very fishy about that tone. Is he messing with Yu? He has to be.

In any case, Adachi claps Narukami on the shoulder one last time. But if the brat dares to try and face him, he'll find Adachi's already vanished into the crowd.]

[pitiedthefool]

[Yes, he does in fact decide to turn to face him. That tone made him suspicious enough of his intent. But there was no sign of him at all... Son of a bitch does he have that clone technique here too?

...

No matter. He knows a few '80s and early '90s songs that the group will likely play. Enjoy a few songs especially for you, jerk.]
