008 | ❝Get this party started...❞

[pitiedthefool]

Characters: The Persona casts and invited guests (just ask if you want to hop in!)
Setting: Media Level, September 15th
Format: Whatever suits your fancy!
Summary: So the Shadow Event was Hell (haha), a few of them grabbed some booze from various sources(?!), so iiiiiiit's PARTY TIME~
Warnings: Somehow srs discussions in one thread and underage drinking in others? I don't even know, man.

So the last seven days had been a misty hell in the tower surrounded by fog... literally.

Muzicons.com

Sure, this was likely the normal aside from the fog... but that didn't mean that the residents didn't need some time to blow off some steam every now and then, and for the Persona users? It had been extremely rough on them with all the Shadows manifesting. That also included their own. Especially included their own in some cases (ow, Naoya...).

It didn't take much, just a small filtered and handwaved message to the other Persona users that Yu knew from either running into them in the battle for everyone's sanity in the past week or before then. "Bring what you can get your hands on," he said, but to the leaders there was also "we need to talk." Because there had been a long period of time where they hadn't spoken as a group... and after bribing Strega with a few rounds of Halo and possible drinking games if they could get their hands on some booze, he'd headed back up to the media floor...

There were no fancy decorations, but he had picked up what was disrupted from the fighting and cleaned like whoa. Everything was set up with whatever few snacks he'd saved in his trunk from the previous month.

Come on in whenever...


[ooc: feel free to mingle and do what you want. This IS a party, after all... so let loose and have fun with it! Start your own threads if there's something that doesn't fit what you were going to do. :3]
[EDIT: Due to earlier confusion, if anyone who knows/is close to any of the Persona people, they are welcome. Really, this is a party for friends.]

[...Oh god who let Teddie near the alcohol it wasn't him he was too busy socializing- silly social links.]

Really?

[Well, there's a surprise... and silly Riku, you are one of the older kids now. You joined the big boys at the party~

And out comes the sticks. Yu holds them out carefully, offering them to the ones gathered here.]

[floreatnoctem]

[Chidori isn't sure what's even going on here but there sure are a lot of cute boys in this direction she's wandering over to see what all the fuss is about, drink still in hand. The female member of Strega seems to be holding her alcohol better than most- and she's doesn't seem like she's at all moving from her spot peering over someone's shoulder.]

[fractus_animus]

[ It was laughably sad that Minato had at least had four or five drinks by now purely because fuck you, he felt awkward.

The result, although he was not outright completely stupidly smashed, was that his decision making skills were now nonexistent. Oops. He kind of meanders over, wondering what's going on. ]

... So what're we playing?

[ What is this King's Game and why does he want pocky now? ]

[justabignobody]

[Riku has... not touched the alcohol yet being half-disney and all, so he does hesitate for a moment when the sticks are offered - he's having an extremely bad feeling about this, but hey... it's just a game, played between a group of friends (and friends of those friends).

What could possibly go wrong?

So here he goes, drawing one of the sticks.]

[pitiedthefool]

It's called the King's Game.

[So don't mind him, going over the rules again for the newcomers...]

You're welcome to join if you want to... [JUST PRAY TEDDIE DOESN'T GET THE RED STICK RIGHT OFF THE BAT AGAIN OH GOD.]

[imperialsun]

[Oh, he'd played this before during their celebration after defeating Pandora. And who thought of it?

Brown of course. Nanjo had protested but had been quickly drowned out, by Elly and Maki exclaiming "THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN" and Mark telling Naoya he'd get a kiss out of Maki for this and...hey now that he thought about it, hadn't Reiji walked off?

He's lost in his thoughts for a few more seconds before he snaps back again.]

If the rules are the same as in 1996. Red-tipped chopstick is king, correct?

[pitiedthefool]

Right.

[Aren't you glad he's still no-nonsense even when buzzed?]

[100percentteddiefur]

Enough talking! It's time to play! I wanna know who's the king~ Because if it's meeeeeeee...~

[There's a very strange look on Teddie's face. One that should never be there as grins suspiciously.]

[fractus_animus]

[ Oh, what the hell. He draws a stick, too. Good thing he's buzzed enough to not be too concerned.

... He really hopes this doesn't end up badly. Wonder what he got...? ]

[floreatnoctem]

[Oh. Well.

Hanged Man arcana always have the worst luck. Let's see how this works out for her as Chidori pulls a chopstick.]

[boxingemperor]

[The sticks pass in front of him, so he grabs one, checking the end of it.]

[pitiedthefool]

[And the results of the draws aaaaare...
★1: Teddie
★2: Akihiko
★3: Riku
★4: Minato
★5: Naoya
★6: Yu
██: Chidori

The King/Queen's word is law...]

...Who has it? [Please not be Teddie right off the bat again please not be Teddie right off the bat again-]

[floreatnoctem]

Oh.

[Chidori blinks at her chopstick and raises it slowly.]

...I do.

[...shenanigans.]

time to use that rng :3

[pitiedthefool]

Then what will your order be, Queen Chidori? ...Please keep it somewhat tame for the newcomers.

[THAT IS ALL HE ASKS: NO REPEATS OF WHAT HAPPENED WITH TEDDIE AND KANJI.]

[fractus_animus]

[ MAN HANG THAT they're here to be stupid and have fun, do what you want, Chidori.

Or that's what his special dot-language he engages with you for on a daily basis says, anyway, Miss Queen. After all, even if it's stupid or embarrassing, they need to have fun! Lighten up. Live a little. So he gives an encouraging nod of "do something awesome, duh." ]

[justabignobody]

[Riku is leaning slightly forward in his seat... as uncertain as he might feel about this whole game (not that it shows... for the most part), he is still curious.

What is being a teenager; he has some catching up to do with that, okay?]

[boxingemperor]

[What's going to happen? Something's going to happen, isn't it? He eyes Chidori curiously, but without worry.

At least the beef bowl has lessened the effects of those Cuba Libres he accidentally drank. But not by much.]

[imperialsun]

[Don't pick my number, don't pick my number...]

[floreatnoctem]

Hmmm...

[It takes her a moment to think up something suitably 'tame' enough- though considering she's Strega, what's tame for her and what's tame for other people might be a little... different.]

Five, come be my throne until the game is over.

[imperialsun]

[...just his luck.

But don't expect him to complain. He had never complained during their journey with Kandori or the Snow Queen. He wasn't going to start now because he had to be someone's...seat.

...not that he wasn't screaming "GODDAMMIT" in his head, mind you, and hearing someone inside there roaring in laughter.]

[In a swift, powerful motion, he spun and raised his chopstick, branding it like a magic wand. Without waiting for anyone's reaction or words, he gets up, he walks over to where she is, putting his hands in his pockets as he usually does.]

What position would you like me to take, your Majesty?

[Might as well get in the role, too.]

[floreatnoctem]

[Oh. That was... unfortunate.

So. Very. Unfortunate.

She cleared her throat in what she hoped was a way that seemed imperious, and then shrugged, crossing her arms loosely.]

...whatever's most comfortable. I'm not really that picky about most things.

[100percentteddiefur]

[Oh darn, he didn't get chosen! Well better luck next time. He can make this so much worse for the other leader figure.]

Oh oh! Sit on her lap!

[Make horrible suggestions since 2010...or 2011. I dunno some year with double numbers.]

[fractus_animus]

[ akdhfg What's going on anymore????

He feels a little embarrassed by this somehow. Is he feeling weirdly jealous? ... Nah, Chidori's his friend. Naoya would treat her right, wouldn't he? ]

... I don't think Naoya can do that unless he's the King.

[imperialsun]

[What is even going on anymore.]

...No I don't think that's how thrones work.

[So he sits down next to her, and then puts HER in his lap...then sticks out his arms as armrests.

This is going to hurt so much tomorrow but he won't do things halfway.]
