[ooc: Alright everybody, here's how it works! Comment spam is the name of the game here and yes, my inbox can handle it! First comment is for anyone who's volunteered to help out and there's a lots of people so Selphie has already split everybody up into groups. aka: feel free to make your own groups. After that, there's just going to be general partyness going on! Threadjacking is more than encounraged (hell, it's expected and demanded) and there you have it! The grumps can come btw, they just can't grump at the party! xD]

The party was all set up and ready to go. The food had been delivered, the rec centre was thoroughly decorated and cheerful with its spring colours and Selphie was just hanging around waiting for the guests to arrive. Her small army of helpers had been hard at work since the day before and it hardened the perky brunette's resolve to make this one of the best parties she's ever thrown. A small part of her wished that her other friends from home and those who had left this place could be here to enjoy the party with everyone here. Even then, a larger part of her knows that it's better that they're not here.

Regardless, Selphie goes about getting this latest New Feather party arranged with every ounce of cheer and assuring those new people that not every people associated with Luceti is crazy. Giving them a welcoming environment to get to know some of their fellow residents is better than wondering what's going to happen next. Besides, it could help those shy people make some friends or get over their anxieties about social gatherings. Overall, Selphie felt that these parties were worth the hard work and would do them as many times as necessary.

[That answer is always not a good sign.]

...you like formality?

[Oh, don't mind it. It's him being weird.]

You could say that. It establishes necessary boundaries.

[nod] That's true. But sometimes, there's nothing wrong with stepping out of those boundaries, right?

[Rise. You're talking to someone who's crazy about formalities. That much is obvious with his next answer.]

Only when it wouldn't be inappropriate to do so.

[Ohhh she's dealing with a Naoto-type here. Okay, she can deal with that, but it's always nice to be polite for the first impression. Right? Right?]

So...when do you think it's appropriate?

When addressing a close friend or family, for the most part. Even then, respect is still a necessity.

[In other words, be stiff. Forever.]

[Such a prude, Hubert!]

I see...does it bother you if I talk to you so casually like this then? [She laughs a little self-consciously] I don't want to make anyone too uncomfortable.

No -- this is fine. Please don't worry about that.

[Luceti doesn't care about where you stand in your world. And he can't fault Rise for being social when he's not.]

Well, if you're sure. [Buuuut stiffness aside, she'll streeetch. As much as she can while holding a tray, of course.] So, you're new, right? Do you have any friends of your world here with you?

[A slight pause, then to both questions:] Yes. Quite a few, in truth.

I see...it must be nice to see some familiar faces here.

[He doesn't say anything to that. She can take that as affirmation.]

Though, I assume a part of this party's purpose is to have us meet new face.

[nod]

Part of it. It's difficult enough to be in a new place so...it might get a little easier if you get to know more people, y'know? Have you spoken to anyone else yet?

[a beat]

Aside from me, of course.

Indeed. Acquainting oneself with the populace is one method of adjusting to a new environment.

. . . Briefly, just a little earlier.

[And she approached him first, too, but details.]

That's great. It's much livelier this round so there's a lot more people to meet now.
