Dancing All Night

Who: Everyone
What: A slumber party at the Observatory so the Heroes can experience something nice for once.
Where: Old Observatory
When: Night of May 12th - Morning of May 13th
Warnings: If your character comes, there's a huge change they'll catch the sickness from someone else who's infected but doesn't show the symptoms. Duster will have many regrets in the future.

[All those that had been invited to the Observatory tonight would see all the windows on the bottom floors lit up before sundown. Duster and Zelda had spent most of today setting up bedding and rearranging the furniture in preparation, and then Duster had to run back home to change into his new suit.

There were multiple rooms with lights set up. One has a corner turned into a makeshift stage where musicians could perform. Two had tables of food. Several rooms were left alone for partygoers to have private moments (Tamekichi suggested that). There was also a box of beer bottles as a sad attempt at a bar, with an empty bottle marking the area where party games were to be played, Spin the Bottle included (all that was Tamekichi's suggestion, too).

Duster greets the arrivals at the door with a soft smile, wearing a periwinkle suit, a white dress shirt, a red shit, and black dress shoes.

Welcome to Club Ixen! It's time we had some fun.

[Santa is torn between showing up late, which is what cool guys do, and getting in early to prevent other people from fucking up on the snacks. His compromise is arriving on time, which is late for someone who's supposed to be helping. He's got several boxes with various finger foods- little sandwiches, chips and dip, and a pot filled with meatballs, with wooden skewers beside to eat them with. ]

[If asked, he'll claim he bought the stuff from a store, but that's kind of a lie. He doesn't trust preassembled stuff to be as good as what he'd make, so he handmade most of this. Shhhh.]


Not bad. [This is Santa patting himself on the back.]

[Zelda is also playing though her songs are slower than most. Her harp rests carefully on her lap while her fingers gently pick a melody from the taut strings. A light smile pulls at her lips as if she's fallen into the beauty of her own melody. After a few rounds she adds her voice.

The song is new, one she's spent the last few days writing.]


Listen to this melody and sing we're free.
Somewhere safe and high above, in the clouds where sun rays dance.
Our home is here.
A place out of sight.
In our hearts where true strength lies.

Listen to this melody and soon you'll see.
There is a place, this I know, and it's magic thrives to give us hope.
Our home is here.
A place out of sight.
In our hearts where true strength lies.

Listen to this melody and we'll fly free.
No strings attached, no weight below, where our wings will shine on those below.
Our home is here.
A place out of sight.
In our hearts where true strength lies.

Truth or Dare - OTA

[personal profile] rialynn 2016-05-11 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rialynn hovers near the outside of the group, hesitant to join in. Once she understood how the game was played, she's reaaaaaaaally unsure about this. On the one hand, she's easily embarrassed, and if she picks 'truth' things might get too personal. On the other hand, her horse is just outside. She can excuse herself to go feed it if things get too out of hand.]

[Things will probably get out of hand.]

[Finally she makes up her mind and sits down on one of the pillows, holding one knee with the other leg curled beneath her.]

[When it comes to her turn, her heart starts pounding. Truth? Never.]


...Dare, I guess?
rialynn: (You don't say!)

Spin the Bottle... - OTA (but probably not here long)

[personal profile] rialynn 2016-05-11 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, hello there Moogle. No, dares won't work on Rialynn, she's had enough of those. But a game that involves spinning a bottle seems pretty easy. It piques her curiosity.]

How do you play this one?

[Whether it's the Moogle who answers or another guest, she doesn't mind who the answer comes from. But once she finds out what the game entails? Awkward departure in three...two...]
goddessofthesky: (What did you say?)

Zelda

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2016-05-11 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
What are the rules exactly?

[It isn't as if Zelda has ever played a game likes this before.]
rialynn: (o halo thar)

[personal profile] rialynn 2016-05-11 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[True to her word, Rialynn arrives with a platter of fat, fried sausages, and her 'famous' pot noodles. Well. Her father liked them, anyway. It's been a while since she's been able to cook in a real kitchen.]

[To those more familiar with German cuisine, they'd more likely identify the offerings as bratwurst and spaetzel. But there's no 'Germany' in her world, just a very similar counterpart.]

[She sets down the plate and pot, then rolls her shoulders with a sigh of relief. Rialynn's just glad she didn't spill them on the way here. Once her dish is in place, she picks up a plate, eager to try what others have cooked. What better way to get to know one another than with good food and conversation? This brings her to where Santa is setting up his own offerings.]


Wow, you brought a lot! It looks great.

[After a moment of indecision, she decides to just get a little of everything so she can try it all.]

[personal profile] 21stcenturyguy 2016-05-11 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Santa is so here for learning everyone's embarrassing secrets. But there's something else he's curious about at the moment.]

Who do you think is the hottest Hero of Light?

sesenta: (Uneasy)

[personal profile] sesenta 2016-05-11 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Guess who totally bought preassembled stuff because she doesn't have very much cooking experience? Hint: it's someone's happy little sister who just walked in with a pink box from the bakery.]

I brought cinnamon rolls!

[They're cute, sweet, and smell heavenly. This she sets down on the table before her gaze strays to what Santa made. Hey, that's not fair, he's going to show her up with all of his awesome culinary skills!]

You brought the meatballs? I don't stand a chance...

[Akane, it's not a contest.]

An' then the person who got kissed spins, and so on.

[Who doesn't know how to play Spin the Bottle, seriously?]
sesenta: (Go get 'em tiger)

Akane

[personal profile] sesenta 2016-05-11 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Akane drops onto one of the cushions, kneeling with her hands on her lap. Her expression is one of steadfast determination. She is going to play this game, and she is going to win. No one will make the bottle spin in more complete revolutions than Akane!]

[Too bad that's not how the game is played.]


I'm ready!
sesenta: (Shy)

Truth or Dare - OTA

[personal profile] sesenta 2016-05-11 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Truth.

[Akane sits comfortably with her legs tucked to the side, seemingly not worried at all about her choice. Maybe a touch shy? Either way, she's not picky about truths or dares, but maybe choosing truth won't give her brother a huge heart attack like 'dare' might.]
21stcenturyguy: (smirk)

[personal profile] 21stcenturyguy 2016-05-11 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, nice. [He gives Duster a second to choke and sputter before he repeats his truth-request.]

Tell everyone who you think the most attractive Hero of Light is. And remember, you're morally obligated to tell the truth.
rialynn: (Play it cool)

Open to Threadjacking

[personal profile] rialynn 2016-05-11 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rialynn is content to simply enjoy the songs. Usually she's the one performing, so it's nice to reverse the roles now and again. When Duster finishes, she quietly approaches to stand near his elbow.]

Pretty good!

[Then she gives him a light nudge with her shoulder.]

What do you think? Can you sing in front of a small group like this, or do you need more time?

[It might be good for his confidence, and it's better when he's with friends. Their reception is likely to be more warm and sympathetic than it would be if he performed in front of strangers. He's got a talent for it, she'd like to see him shine more and doubt himself less.]
21stcenturyguy: (grrr)

Re: Truth or Dare - OTA

[personal profile] 21stcenturyguy 2016-05-11 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Your plan to not give your brother a heart attack sucks, Akane. Aoi doesn't say anything. He knows all of his little sister's secrets probably. Instead, he glares at everyone else in the circle, just daring them to ask Akane something bad or embarrassing.]

[ And guess who was (unpredictably) roped into this? Of course, he's a little nervous about it, if only because he knows what this is. . . he's hoping nobody actually lands on him.

Please don't let it land on him. ]


T-This is definitely a bad idea.
