towerofanimus | (no subject)

Characters: Lord Grumpypants, Diarmuid, Diarmuid's idiot brothers, the extended family, and open to their CR and anyone that just wants to drop by.
Setting: Floor 81
Format: Party style, whichever format you prefer
Summary: ~~When two busybodies start plotting, all hell breaks loose.~~ "Waver's Anniversary" (or more informally known as Waver and Diarmuid's wedding party.) It's just a party. Nothing to see here. That cake is white just by... accident... and decorated to match the rings... yeeeeeeep... complete accident.
Warnings: Someone may decide to drown a couple people... who knows.

[In case someone is observant enough to notice, Waver and Diarmuid have been wearing matching rings... and under the disguise of a convenient excuse, that being Waver's one year anniversary in the Tower, Lancer and Reno have thrown a party to celebrate.

Keeping the relationship a perfect secret, of course. It's just a party. Good times, shooting the breeze, card games. Unfortunately, there's no booze. The lounge has been set up with a buffet with food from the Floor Sixty Kitchen, and there's a cake.

The cake happens to be white, and decorated. And that celtic knot decoration may just be matching the rings. Complete accident, of course.]

What, is it a religious taboo?

[Reno didn't seem the type to be involved with any kind of church, but hey, you never knew. Asch's own opinion of religion isn't great, but given that Auldrant's only option for "things to worship" was the Score, he can at least recognize his bias.

And yes, his eyebrows did go up at that mis-speech.]

Because I'm fairly sure that wouldn't apply to most people here.

Nah, more cultural.

[The look on his face says that he doesn't see much difference and/or just plain doesn't get it, but Okay Then Reno.]

Well, no one's going to make you eat it.

[You're missing out though.]

It's kinda like eating horse?

[That's the closest Reno can come to explaining it.]

[And here he runs directly into the wall that is hard-boiled Asch practicality. And also entirely different creatures both called horses.]

The only reason I haven't had horse is because reptilian meat is disgusting. If I had to, I could force it down.

Wait- reptilian? Thought horses were some big herd mammal.

They're large, bipedal reptilians that were domesticated to haul carts and the like. ...At least on Auldrant.

Lancer's got something he calls a horse... but it's got four legs. Bet he'd let you see her if you ask 'em. Gonna put this one in weird multiverse shit though.

[Definitely weird multiverse shit.]

Our horses have forelimbs, but they wouldn't even reach the ground, from what I recall. They're probably entirely different kinds of creatures.

Ask Lancer if ya want to see his beast. Weird looking thing, kinda like a cow.

Assuming that we even mean the same thing when we talk about cows.

[Can't be too careful, Reno!]

[That makes Reno pause, open his mouth, then shut it and look thoughtful for a moment.

Then he spreads his hands and shrugs.]

Shiva's frosty tits. I give up.

Four-legged livestock mammal, huge head, swats flies with its tail?

[They can at least figure out if they're in the same neighborhood!]

Yeah. The ones that run around with mushrooms covering their bodies?

What? No.

[So much for that.]

Huh. That must be some weird Tower thing... I saw one half covered with fungus.

Weird Tower things are weird Tower things.

[Seriousloy, Reno, you're judging by that?]

As far as I know, nothing of Auldrant's wildlife has shown up here.

[Shrug.]

Y'know, that might be something to check out. What kinda monsters and wildlife we got down here. Didn't someone make up a monster guide recently?

[Shrug back.]

It's not really the kind of thing I pay attention to.

[Reno raises an eye at that.]

Too bad, might be useful keepin' the kitchen stocked.

[It's Asch's turn to give him a funny look.]

Eating the meat of something you can't identify seems like a bad idea.

[A pause.]

Jason was responsible for the monsters, wasn't he? I wonder if there will be fewer of them now.

I thought that Zo was responsible... Y'know, monsters bein' what he grabbed by accident.

My understanding is that Jason was the one who put them together - at least, I'd heard that he had a bunch in his lab.

[Then again, who really knew. Ruana was easily bored, they could just as easily be her doing.]

That's... really confusing. Remind me to ask on the network. Could've sworn I remember one of those Q and A sessions where someone was asking about the monsters.

It might have been a shared responsibility.
