Event || The New Year

[melodiesmods]

Characters: Anyone!
Where: The Enterprise.
When: The Night from December 31st to January 1st.
Summary: A Ball aboard the Enterprise, for well-dressed (mostly) Heroes of Light and their friends who want to dance and (especially) eat for free.
Warning: Nothing.

While the passing from a year to another isn't as big of an event as the Starlight Celebration, it is no reason to pass up an ocasion to celebrate and have fun. There are fireworks in all major cities and various activities to enjoy. Noticeably, there are gatherings of people in Aqures Ixen and Trano Golsaucia in particular, if only to conclude what is one of the most celebrated week in the year, and wish to each other the best possible year to come-- Though most people are worried about what's to come soon. After all, the end might be nigh with the Calamity about to take over the planet...

To celebrate this, the Heroes of Light have all been invited to stay aboard the Enterprise for a particularly prestigious and animated Ball. Indeed, the Enterprise will from Aqures Ixen and go all the way to Mysidia at midnight-- This way, New Year is going to last even longer than normal thanks to the magic of timezones.

There are tables with foods for everyone to eat and of course, music for people to dance together if they so wish. There is also a consequent number of chairs lined up, for all those who refuse to dance or are too awkward to do so.

This would've been an opportune time to take out the actual book and flip through it for a rough gameplan, however-- The gifts Minato got here were the first in a long time where he's felt like they weren't some sort of obligation; as such, they were safely kept in his spacious room that wasn't filled with much else, and he was loathe to really bring most of them places where he could easily lose them. There was nothing of value there aside from its role as a place to return to and sleep, but now it was different. Then again, it wasn't the objects as much as the people who gave them, huh? He'd just have to give it a glance when he got back.

"... Look I. I don't really know what I'm doing."

Ahh, why couldn't he just say simple words of gratitude in return; up crept his usual pessimism. The admittance came with an even further deflation from his normal posture, and he rubbed the back of his head. He stayed quiet again for a bit, before elaborating in an unsure tone.

"It sounded... really hard, learning how to talk to them. I don't actually get why I'm still considering it."

It was a group disciplined and united that all knew each other, and he didn't know if he would have any proper place standing alongside them even if he tried. Why did he want to do this? He wasn't even very good at conversations with normal people, much less substituting those for sacred beings. And that's if he succeeded. He was now considering thorough additional studying; a teenage boy without fancy credentials who was part-time monster fighter, intel gatherer, and dutiful medical provider.

He must've been out of his mind.

"If you're really willing to help either way though..." Minato trailed off, slowly shaking his head. "I can't promise much."

Gratitude could wait; Ace had never been the type to favor a small talk, especially now that he could feel more confident about discussing the matter at hand. As much as he suspected it being merely one among many factors that had contributed to his friend's reserved demeanor, it seemed like a sound start.

"To make a difference?" Though he gave Minato a studious look, it didn't include waiting for the other to answer before he continued. "As a collective, we should focus on ensuring we have all the means to win the battles ahead, and for that, Eidolons are the force that might just tip the scales in our favor. We don't know nearly enough about their allegiances to count on the Mysidian summoners in time of need, so it would be good to have someone with that level of knowledge on our side."

The cadet regarded his companion with a solemn look for a moment, if only to let his eyes fall shut and complete his response with a soft sigh. "The question is, are you really just lacking faith in your abilities, or fearing the responsibility that would fall upon you?"

Not that either of them should be a reason to stop, but he left that notion unspoken for now, catching himself sounding a bit too overbearing than he'd necessarily meant. The same realisation caused him to slip into a less formal tone, eventually. It wasn't as if he was capable of making any promises, so he found it befuddling to see the other boy be this disillusioned from the get-go.

"Good, because neither can I." As if to counterbalance Minato's gesture, he decided to follow with a firm nod. "That said, the offer still stands."
