The Most Wonderful Party of the Year

Who: Anyone and everyone!
Where: Cuppa Kupo
When: December 23rd
Summary: It's time for Cuppa Kupo's first annual Christmas Party! The party details are in an OOC post here and an IC post .
Warnings: None! (At the moment, anyway).





[It's the 23rd of December, and, as promised, Kuppa Cupo has opened its doors for the first (and hopefully not last) Christmas/Starlight party!]

[The entire restaurant is decorated for the season, complete with a large tree near the entrance. The ceiling is covered in lights, and the tables all have matching red and green tablecloths. Near the wall, the catering table is packed with food.]

[Even the helper moogles are taking part in the festivities, with many of them wearing elf or santa costumes. Whether you came early to help set up, or arrived fashionably late, enjoy!]

[Koporo is a terrible Moogle, but he keeps Dylas' file locked.]

Yeah. I do. I don't even know why I brought it up, just forget I ever told you that.

[As with many things, the euphemism goes right over Dylas' head, and he returns Akane's joke with unintentional innocence, tail starting to sway behind him a little as he feels more flustered.]

My buns are pretty solid, yeah, but I don't think I could bake a cake or a pastry without checking a recipe. I've been trying to get better at it and not let my restored palate go to waste.

[His ass is flatter than the street, though, don't get him wrong.]

I can do that. There are still a few places where the water runs a bit too quickly for it to freeze. I'm still out there every morning catching fish to sell before the sun rises.

[He's out there in freezing cold weather standing in freezing cold water like it's nothing.]
mindofathief: guess which shoes i'm wearing (suspicious)

[Duster visibly grimaces at "Military Schools". They sound exactly like any other military training ground, especially those that prepared members of the Pigmask Army. The forks get stared at.]

...I see.

[What kind of wars did Selphie have to participate in? What kind of world would someone as cheerful as her talk about fighting so casually?]
damn_juicebox: (Santa - Hat)

YO!

[personal profile] damn_juicebox 2017-01-06 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll lend you a hand, then. The sooner you're finished with your duties, the sooner you can relax and enjoy the party, right?

[She polishes off the appetizer, politely using a napkin to clean her hands. The Kuchiki family didn't raise her to lick her fingers like a dirty commoner.]

...Did you bring Repede this year, or is he at home?

[There has always been something special about Aqures Ixen at this time of year, even though the City was much busier than in previous years thanks to the constant stream of refugees still arriving from Calamity-stricken lands. Sephiroth didn't generally get much time to appreciate it though, much less have much of a desire to celebrate the festive period himself.

He remained sat on the edge of the table for the time being and offered a short nod at Mikleo's suggestion.]


I will do, don't worry. I'm enjoying the change of routine, to be honest.
shinrasfinest: (Head Tilt)

[personal profile] shinrasfinest 2017-01-06 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right, they do.

[He flashes a knowing grin at Selphie before raising the mug to take a long sip. Something of an appreciative sigh following and a pause before Sephiroth opens his eyes to look at her again.]

Shouldn't overdo it. Starlight or not, I have my nutrition to think of.
worstintheworld: (Hair Toss)

[personal profile] worstintheworld 2017-01-07 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? Oh, I suppose. This was merely the default outfit when I equipped the Santa Claus job.

[This is actually rather normal for her; it's when she's running about in a tunic and leggings that she slips outside the norm. But since it might sound as if she's bragging about fancy clothing, she tactfully declines to mention she's accustomed to 'dressing up' to the point of normality. Still, it was nice of him to say so.]

You look rather different yourself, with your hair tied back.

[Natalia doesn't hesitate when he makes his request. She may not be a cook by any stretch of the definition, but she's graceful and poised. He needn't worry about dropped trays with her.]

Certainly. Allow me.

[She sweeps up one of the platters in each hand, following after Yuri with her skirts sweeping elegantly behind her.]
red_planet_blues: (wat r u doin)

[personal profile] red_planet_blues 2017-01-07 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
A little bit, I guess.

[He doesn't know how to answer that other question, though. Admitting to Mars being home felt weird, for a number of reasons.]

Well, yeah, a few years ago but... it was for work, y'know? Originally, I'm from Earth.

[So he likes to say often.]

Besides, I've been on Crystallis half as long as I lived on Mars. Still ain't comfortable here, and doubt I ever will be.

[So he says.]

red_planet_blues: (huh.)

[personal profile] red_planet_blues 2017-01-07 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Good as things get around here lately. Now eat. 'S gettin' cold.

[He grabs a serving himself, and takes a bite of a spoonful, looking at Dylas flatly. See? He's not poisoned.]

Or do ya not like spicy stuff, or somethin'?
sullenstallion: (92)

[personal profile] sullenstallion 2017-01-07 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
No!

[He's quick to object to that idea.]

No, I, uh. It's just been a while since anyone's cooked for me. Even if it's not...really for me.

[Dylas is a bit worried about getting some on his suit (come on, he looks great), but he takes a small spoonful and eats it without complaint.]

Thanks.
boomchucka: (Default)

also... mun fail... >.>;;

[personal profile] boomchucka 2017-01-08 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Because Selphie was thinking of another person who is diligently cooking away in the kitchen when she said that. She pulls herself up and quickly dusts herself off as she inspects his handy work and shakes her head.]

Sorry, I was thinking of someone else...

More importantly.

[At this point in time, Selphie enters Mikleo's personal space and looks up at him with a worried frown.]

We have step stools in the back to prevent these types of accidents from happening. You could've been hurt worse than our combined wounded pride.

[She pokes him hard in the chest. She doesn't like it when people get hurt and it makes her worry.]

I would've been worried, y'know! It's supposed to be a really great time of the year and it would've sucked if you had to spend any part of it injured. So next time, use the step stool.
boomchucka: (spunk in a can)

[personal profile] boomchucka 2017-01-08 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
It's like they say.

[She gives him a knowing smile as she points into the air with an index finger.]

All good things in moderation!

[She looks up at him shortly afterwards with an eager look.]

So? How's the tea? I'm gonna make another run to Esdham before things get too hair to get some more teas for the shop. Maybe some more chocolate ones and a couple of those fancy fruit teas too. I wanna hear what you think!
boomchucka: (Look to the sky)

[personal profile] boomchucka 2017-01-08 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Selphie comes from a world where this is her only defense against the sadness that would try to consume her on a daily basis. Sure, it might be a naive perspective to others but it works for the perky brunette.

Her head tilts to the right as she looks at Duster with a bemused look.]


I'm okay in case you're wondering.

[She gets through everything with the help of her friends. From Garden and Crystallis alike. She saw the look on Dusters face a few moments ago and that's the first thing that popped into her mind to say. She really is okay.]
shinrasfinest: (Suspicious)

[personal profile] shinrasfinest 2017-01-08 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
That's very true.

[Wasn't quite expecting something so...profound from Selphie of all people but it's a pleasant surprise. It's not there for long, though, before she swings back into her sometimes-too eager norm.

Unknowingly tripping all over those triggers too, apparently. Sephiroth snatches his eye contact from where he'd been casually engaging with her face as most would in conversation and those shining green eyes quickly close as he looks to the floor. Immediately thoughts back to Terra and one of her hobbies that he'd likely never given her enough credit for.]


It's not bad. Festive and therefore perfect for the season.

[Undoubtedly they have to have been selling well in the shop throughout December.]

...Terra used to make teas.

[It's muttered towards the floor more than at Selphie but she's certainly close enough to hear that as it essentially fell from thoughts out into the real world with no filter to stop it.]
unyieldingspirit: (how do I put this)

[personal profile] unyieldingspirit 2017-01-08 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[K'pandolu arrives with an assortment of cookies and a jam roll, although the latter is yet to be cut up. She's wearing more of a Saint's helper outfit- a red tunic with a scarf, paired with gloves to keep her arms warm.]

Do we have somewhere for these?

[Once that's sorted out, she looks to the decorations, to see what still needs to go out- and ensure there's at least one sprig of mistletoe, for those so inclined.]
unyieldingspirit: (how do I put this)

[personal profile] unyieldingspirit 2017-01-08 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Decorations and food set out, K'pandolu's free to wind her way around the room, greeting those she knows, and those she doesn't, being as determinedly cheerful as she can be. What better time for joy, after all? She's keeping an eye out for the people she's made things for, though she also has bags of cookies for those she doesn't know quite so well.]
boomchucka: (worried about something)

[personal profile] boomchucka 2017-01-08 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Selphie is certainly close enough to hear the muttered phrase which has her shutting down her train of thought for the time being. She can only the pain of losing someone that you care about that much. Instead, she moves forward and places a hand on Sephiroth's forearm.

She doesn't understand the pain but knows that it's hurtful. She gives him an apologetic look.]

I'm sorry. I didn't know.
shinrasfinest: (All the same)

[personal profile] shinrasfinest 2017-01-09 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[There is a fleeting moment of tension that's not quite physical as Selphie places her hand on his forearm. Sephiroth's never been keen on others giving any sort of physical comfort, but at least it's not a out-and-out flinch away. An acceptance, in it's own way.]

Of course. How were you to know after all...[His tone is deflated of all bitterness though, it's more of a matter of fact statement than a retort. It's clear that he's not quite completely numb to the sadness that had been so hot before. He takes a deep, long breath in and forces the corners of his mouth to turn up a little at the edges.]

...I suppose I should be celebrating those small memories she left before she went away. She did make interesting, often colorful, home-blends of tea.
mindofathief: (Rope Snake don't fail me now)

[personal profile] mindofathief 2017-01-09 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[That answered his other question. Selphie is older than Lucas, to to someone in their mid-twenties, they are both too young for war.

He puts one fork beside a carefully-laid plate, not taking his eyes off the set in front of him.]


And what about the world? What's the war about?

[One war. He's only known on major conflict to happen at a time. If there were multiple ones around the world...well, that might be the sort of destructive behavior that led to humanity's downfall and the voyage to the Nowhere Islands.]
unyieldingspirit: (how do I put this)

[personal profile] unyieldingspirit 2017-01-10 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not bad at all, although K'pandolu tries not to spend more than a moment or two looking- it doesn't really feel appropriate. Besides, there's still a lot of setting up to do, and so she approaches, peering up at the light.]

Can I offer any help with that?
unyieldingspirit: (that was a thing I did)

[personal profile] unyieldingspirit 2017-01-10 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[she wasn't expecting this at all, and she yelps, trying to support him for a few moments before buckling. At least it's an easier collapse?]

What happened…? Are you all right?
rialynn: (C_C)

[personal profile] rialynn 2017-01-10 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh. Yeah. Fancy that, huh?

[He's a Moogle, but that doesn't make him any less intimidating. She backs away, refusing to look up. Maybe she can play ignorant.]

Great party, isn't it? Why it's the best OH HEY LOOK THERE IS DUSTER! HEY DUSTER!

[She takes a far more complicated winding path to reach him, dodging mistletoe all the way.]
mindofathief: (don't mind me)

[personal profile] mindofathief 2017-01-10 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Duster's head jerks up. He heard Rialynn's voice, but the room is full of people, he looks away from hear, seeking out her face among the crowd.

Meanwhile, Tamekichi is not a Moogle that gives up easily. He follows after her.]


What's the rush? Don't be shy, it's a party, kupo!
sesenta: (Tee Hee)

[personal profile] sesenta 2017-01-11 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
[He's so lucky. ...Until it's summer time, anyway, then he probably suffers terribly under all that thick fur.]

Really? I'd love that, thank you very much! Maybe I can do it too. They'll call me Akane, the Fish Slapper!

[She smiles against her fingertips.]

Maybe it's not as prestigious a title as I thought, but it sounded cool in my head.
water_meebo: @kagaminokakera (❄ ᴀʜ ǫᴜɪᴛᴇ ɪɴᴛʀɪɢᴜɪɴɢ)

[personal profile] water_meebo 2017-01-11 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ It is and having to experience it first hand for the first time, Mikleo's more than a bit excited. It's hard to hide it on his face as he seems to be smiling from ear to ear even though they're only setting up. He's glad that Sephiroth had the opportunity to appreciate the general festivities. ]

That's good to hear. It means we'll get things done in no time. What else do you need to do in the mean time? I'd like to assist.
water_meebo: @kagaminokakera (❄ ʜᴜғғs. ᴄ'ᴍᴏɴ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ?)

it's okay!!!

[personal profile] water_meebo 2017-01-11 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mikleo is not that person. He's much nicer and more respectful than that vagabond!!! played by the same dorky mun of course!!! ]

Were you? Who on earth would do something like that?

[ He cranes his neck at her as she starts again. He looked at her with his brows brielfy furrowed as she got into his personal space. ]

I was using the ladder Selphie.

[ He pointed to the tipped ladder that didn't fall on either of them when he slipped. ]

I suppose I didn't realize the spacing between my footing and one of the ladder steps were off so I fell.

[ The water seraph explains with a brief "oof" when she jabs his chest. ]

S-Sorry. It wasn't intentional. Plus, I'm fine, see? I can also heal my own injuries if I need to-- but thanks. I'll try to be more careful next time.
