--------------------

Everything was all set to go! The Battle Dome had been turned into the perfect concert hall thanks to the hardwork of everyone who had voluntered to help out. The decorations went up without a tee and the tables were well-laden with the food that everybody had so graciously offered to make. Selphie had taken it upon herself to abuse the vending machines in the Dome and had carefully lined the sides of all the tables with various types of drinks for everyone to choose from. The perky brunette knew that this was going to be one of the best New Feather parties they'd ever held. The crepe paper streamers brought quite a bit of colour to the otherwise metallic surroundings of the dome and it left her debating if they should leave them up. She quickly thought against the idea knowing that there were bound to be complaints about the Battle Dome being a place for training and not a place to hold regular parties.

She sighed lightly before twirling around in her yellow sundress and marching right over to the entrance of the Battle Dome as she opened the doors for everyone to enter and take their seats. When people entered, they'd notice the stage in the middle of the Dome. Adell and his volunteers had worked tirelessly on it and with a splash of colour from the decorating team, the stage was perfect and ready to go. The lights were checked, the speakers were in place and the mic was positions just waiting for Luka to grab it and dazzle everyone with her talents. To say that Selphie was excited about this concert was a bit of an understatement. It reminded her of the Garden Festivals from home as she waited for people to start arriving.

She knew that this night was going to be great for everybody. She knew that everybody in the village needed a chance to unwind a bit and this was perfect opportunity to do so.

[ooc: so despite the fact that I felt like writing instead of doing an action tag, this is a tag however you please type of event. Tag around, build some CR and have fun everybody!]

"The cake at the top."

Oh, Daisy sees that glare, but states in a very deadpan manner. Not that she's intimidated by the barely over five feet tall girl.

Fortunately, Lina has come to this party determined to be nice. Still frowning, she nods.

"...go ahead. I didn't like the cake much anyway."

"Thank you, ma'am." Military manners. She's going to pay it back anyway.

...Well, that, and she notices the frown and the wings that stood tense.

"...Can I ask something? Isn't that food too much?" Look at Daisy. She needs that as much as you do, but she burns all of it.

"Maybe. But I'm a growing girl - I need a lot of food."

Nevermind the fact that it's an excuse she's been using for years. Lina does need a ridiculous amount of food to satisfy herself, as a sorceress and a generally manic person, but she's already started to see that either there aren't a lot of other magic users here or they don't work that way in other worlds.

Still, she holds the plate up higher so Daisy can grab her cake.

"You look like you've done all the growing you're ever going to do."

She blushes. In this place, her height was something she felt some embarassment about. Though in grabbing a pie or watching a concert, it helps.

"True enough."

Daisy takes a rather big bite she easily swallows before she asks.

"How many days?" The Chief remembers the new feather wave. "You got settled in fast."

"You think so? Hey, good to hear. I just got in a little over a week ago."

Lina grabs a fistful of potato chips to munch on. "Gotta say, it ain't bad here. I keep having to remind myself that I'm going to have to escape at some point."

"I always think about that." She would not be a Spartan if she trusted her captors. "Barring that," and unpleasant residents, "it's a nice place. If not too boring sometimes."

Daisy-023 recalls she had a breakdown after not only being violently tossed into this world, but realizing very little she grew up knowing applied in here. Lina, on the other hand, had already started to make the most of it.

Her pie has now only two bites left. The taller girl looks at Lina with curiosity.

"Don't you want to sit, ma'am?" That mountain of food seemed to the taller girl as if it was too big to sustain itself, though Lina would know better. Hopefully.

Lina shrugs. The pile of food wobbles precariously, but does not fall. "Sure. Um..." She looks around until she spots a few open chairs, and jerks her head towards them. "Over here. C'mon."

The Chief follows the sorcerer, and upon reaching the table, she easily drags it towards the pile for it to rest on. Lina may have good balance, but there are things both girls wouldn't want to risk.

"This place gets a lot of talent." She comments, and it doesn't apply only to magic or warfare. Everything she had heard from Luka was impressive. "Would you believe Chopin is in here?"

Though she had always been a fan of classical.

Lina sets the plate down and shifts it aside enough so that she can actually talk with Daisy.

"Yeah, I guess." She picks up a chicken leg to gnaw on, giving Daisy the attention she isn't giving the food, looking up at her every so often to at least show she's listening. "Who's Chopin?"

It's impressive how this girl was making the food vanish. And the Chief thought Spartans ate a lot...

"You don't know Chopin?" She asks while looking at Lina as soon as the mountain is out of their way, a burst of emotion by Spartan standards -confusion-. Still... Not all worlds developed the same. Some of them didn't even have Earth.

"He was a brilliant composer in my world. He invented the instrumental ballade in music. Changed a lot of currents of music. Some of the music Luka is singing right now was inspired by him."

"Instrumental...ballade?" Lina frowns thoughtfully, not understanding most of what Daisy is getting at. Lina's world is very far from Earth, as a soon to be disassembled coffee maker will prove. "Well, that's cool. Sounds like he was a great guy. And the music that girl on stage is singing is nice."

Damn it. It's granted that the possibilities are endless, but she hoped that Chopin would've been a more known figure. Though dismantling gear would be the first thing she'd do to alien equipment.

"Oddest thing, ma'am... She's not a human. She's a machine." A sentient machine, but one that sparked her curiosity.

"A machine?" Lina blinks, evidently surprised by the news. "Like...a moving doll, right?" The idea of machines and machinery is clearly one that Lina struggles with, as evidenced by the fact that she sets aside her food to focus on Daisy.

"...Yeah. Something like that."

Daisy had trouble explaining at times. Many things she took for granted from her world were hardly understood by people from wholly different universes.

The Chief stands silent for a moment, staring at the minuscule portion that remained of the snatched pie. She's had four mounths in here, and while admittedly she has gotten somewhat better at socializing, she still had a long way to go.

"What kind of world is yours? A lot of things where I'm from don't seem known in yours..."

"My world?

...nothing like this, let me tell you. There's not all these...weird machines. Most of the people who live there are human, but we do have a lot of beast men and they're okay. Except the fish people. I hate the fish people. It's on one big continent that's divided into five kingdoms, although ever since Zanafar went on a rampage, everyone's...kind of just focused on recovering, now.

We used to have a barrier separating our world from the Outer World, where they have more gizmos and less magic. And above both worlds is the world of the gods, below it is the world of the monsters.

...you following so far, Daisy?"

"So it's something like norse mythology, with different worlds connected into one." That's how she's understanding. She looks somewhat puzzled, but strangely, it makes sense. Maybe a little too much so.

"...And a lot of non-humans..." She notes, noticing the oddity of Luceti wasn't limited to it. "Sentients don't usually share a planet." And fish people do sound problematic... strangely not as much as beastmen, she guesses from the tone of Lina.

Lina nods, deciding to let "norse" pass for now. "Exactly! And they're all pierced by the staff of Cepheid, the Dragon King. That's how they ended up one on top of the other."

She grabbed another piece of cake and began munching on it thoughtfully. "Monsters and Gods can travel to our world, but not to one anothers' and we can't travel to theirs'. It's a real pain in the neck, let me tell you. Compared to them, beat men aren't any trouble. Trolls and dragons, now, those can be a bit more trouble. But every world's got problems, right?"

Daisy takes the moment to consider it.

"Point taken." All of them have their problems.

Still, if she could kick a Brute's ass in CQC, trolls probably wouldn't be that much different. Dragons? One could compare them to Scarabs -both giant creatures with skin of steel and breath of fire-... but even then, that'd be something she'd have to see.

As for Lina's world, it did sound like the stuff of mythology. In her universe's case, these worlds being connected by a staff, instead of a tree of life.

"It's strange. Why can't you reach those worlds? Doesn't your universe have the magic to get around it?" After all, if some worlds' laws of reality were far more malleable than hers, then it wouldn't be that hard, would it?

"Nah. If the Monsters or the Gods want to keep us out, we pretty much don't have a choice but to be kept out. One of the Monster Lords even put up a wall between our Inner World and Outer World - for hundreds of years, we couldn't get at one another, until the Monster who put it up was killed.

Since the ones who put up the walls between their world and ours' would probably be even stronger and aren't even in range for me to get at, you see our problem.

Not that I'd ever want to pay either world a visit. Not exactly people friendly."

"... I see what you mean." Not completely true. A completely inaccessible place is the nightmare of any military force, even if the place is a hell.

Ah, if she only ever got to know about the Flood.

She leans back. One of the few things she enjoyed about being out of armor. If it weren't for the wings, she probably wouldn't get off that suit at all.

"Funny. It reminds me of my world's fantasy literature."
