A hundred dollar dine, a tasty swine, all you gotta do is get in line

Who: New Feathers! Actually, anyone's cool.
What: New Feather welcome party.
When: Saturday, 6pm and onto...some hour of the night.
Where: Welcome Centre
Summary: It's a luau! Come dressed in your Hawaiian best (or if you don't, you might get a leis and maybe a Hawaiian shirt...or a grass skirt shoved on you) and mingle!
Rating: G-PG? idk, man, what'll you start during a party?

[It's hard to imagine the Welcome Centre looking so...tropical. Or at least so fakely tropical— with plastic palms and bright-coloured decorations strung from the ceiling. The door leading to the backyard is open today, and if you step out into the cooling evening, you'll notice the tiki lamps and the bar tables under thatched umbrellas. There's a happy barbecue going on at one corner, and the food that's cooked gets moved to a larger buffet-style row of tables with the rest of the food and drinks. There's lots of pineapple, hope you aren't allergic!

Upon entering, you'll probably be given a leis (and maybe a shirt or a grass skirt). Stay long enough and there's a few games planned (like limbo, totally cool, totally awesome). Enjoy!

[The Librarian, wearing about six leis, is everywhere. He might be handing you your lei as you come in. Or fixing that string of lights hung across the room that fell down. Or perhaps the fruit salad at the buffet table is running low? He'll be along to refill it before you notice. Feel free to catch him anywhere, doing any number of small but important tasks. Or he might even be chilling at the buffet table imbibing some punch and mangoes. Oh, mangoes. Heaven in a fruit, baby.

He might be hogging the mangoes a little.]

[Admittedly, Anri's never been to many parties. She's come to this party in search for someone and the number of people in this place makes her a little apprehensive. She's been keeping to herself at a corner (and yes, she did see that string of lights somewhere to her near right fall), but when a...monkey goes over to fix it, she can't help but blink.

Stare.]

Um...

[Over by the buffet table, Ginia's sets down a new tray of fried chicken, taking a break to admire the wide spread of food as well as the decorations. For a party put together from whatever could be found the hard work of volunteers, it was looking quite impressive so far. Normal, even. She smiles to herself, wondering if maybe she was finally growing used to the pace of life in Luceti. Granted, she hadn't been kidnapped, drafted, or encountered any of the experiments she was so often warned about so she was still green as grass, but things were nice.

Really, when most of your life was spent living walking the fine line between a criminal existence and being a professional vigilante, ending up a city where everything was free and no one was trying to kill you (yet) was a nice vacation. She hadn't given up thoughts of finding a way out or at least some answers, but in the last few days she'd settled down a little.

Glancing around surreptitiously, Ginia grabs a small chocolate chip cookie and quickly wolfed it down before she returned to shuttling food between the grill and the table and taking care of other mundane tasks here and there. Yes, this was a new feather party, yes, she was a new feather, but doing what she could to help out was a part of her nature.

Someone please remind her to have some fun.]

((ooc; Reminder Ginia's mute so all replies will be written. Unless someone knows some form of sign language, then she'll be signing everything.))

[Rydia keeps her promise to help and so arrives on time. She isn't dressed according to the theme, but accepts a lei or two. Overall, she seems to be much better though will still leave early just to be on the safe side. The last thing she wants is more lecturing.

But while she's there, Rydia will wander around and mingle. She wants to catch up on what New Feathers she missed while away.]

[Grune has absolutely no idea what you do at a Hawaiian party, Hawaii not being a place on Melfes and all. She does, however, totally approve of these flower necklace things, and will accept one from the Librarian very happily.]

Oh, thank you! This party looks like it's going to be so much fun, doesn't it?

[ ................... why is he here? How did he even end up here. Can he leave now? He's got on six leis and he doesn't even know how. There is a grass skirt just sort of chilling out in his hand. It's terrible. At the very least, he feels very .... festive.

He'll just chill out awkwardly in a corner until he finds a pretty girl or other interesting resident to zero in on, just to cover his nerves and thoughts of "this is ridiculous" and "where is Rapunzel." ]

[Those New Feather parties always seemed interesting, but Gold never really bothered with them. He had plenty of time and chances to meet people, and it was always much easier to meet them when they weren't New Feathers. Meant he didn't have to deal with their questions and confusion. He hated explaining.

But this one had two points in its favor. First of all, he had two New Feathers of his own to drag there, in the form of [Bad username or site: tsuntrader title=Silver @ livejournal.com] and [Bad username or site: couragefighter title=Red @ livejournal.com]. They needed to meet people too, after all.

...The second point was it was a hawaiian luau. Tropical food and even more tropical babes? Hellz to the yeah.]

Mm... Something smells delicious!

I say we should go for grub before anything.

[Silver could argue with Gold. Silver could argue and protest against anything remotely close to a party all day, if he had to.

But something just feels wrong about saying no to Red, so here he is, mostly just tagging along and thinking that this is all pretty pointless.]

[And here's the person who told you to only show up for an hour or two, Rydia. With a tray of drinks decorated with tiny umbrellas.

Hey, it's cute.]

[Sup, Flynn, you called for a pretty girl?]

Pretty sure you're supposed to put that on.

[So she's mostly here to try to scout out who everyone else in Luceti is but... really, she feels out of place the moment she comes in. As the Princess of the Zora though, she's trying to keep herself collected and even though she probably looks perfectly silly with the flowers around her neck on an otherwise naked body, she survives.

After all, she can do social stuff. Let's just meet people. ...Even if she does stand out, sigh. Why does this have to be on the land? Silly land people]

[Sheena offered to make iced tea (with some tropical flavors) for the party, since she's right upstairs, and after some thought, decided to make pineapple curry too. There seemed to be so many pineapples anyway, what's one more dish with them? Besides, it won the cooking contest, that time.

So between trips up and down the stairs, she's just...lingering around. Probably near the beverages.]

[Lina has no idea what the point of the leis or the grass skirts are. she wears them anyway, even though they make her already outlandish outfit probably border on the ridiculous. She'll participate in the games and probably pitch a fit if anyone beats her.

But mostly? Barbecue is where it's at. At some point in the night, expect a girl with fingers sticky with barbecue sauce to tap you on the shoulder and a voice half muffled with pork to hail you.]

Hey! How's it going?

[Where he found the stepladder hardly matters. What should be intriguing is way he merely uses it to hoist himself up, and then spends the rest of the time repairing the light hanging by one arm from a ceiling beam, using mainly his feet to re affix the string. He senses you watching him, and looks over his shoulder, a few nails hanging out of his mouth. (He might not actually be using nails to make this repair, but his canon cares about the look of things and so they just showed up naturally whether he needs them or not.) He raises one eyebrow, and goes back to his repair.]

Ook! [It certainly does! Oh, here, take another lei, why not?]

Hello again! How've you been?

[Lucy will be happily accepting a lei, if you're still offering.]

[Have an enthusiastic Lucy bedecked in leis (she does draw the line at grass skirts, however; those just look rather silly) coming over to say hi.]

Hello! I don't think we've met--I'm Lucy Pevensie.

[Lucy turns and gives you a big smile.]

Quite well, thanks! It's quite a lovely party, isn't it?

Isn't it? Man, one good thing to say about this place is that they know how to throw a party. [Lina would hug you if she wasn't trying to balance a couple of plates.] Gotta say, though, this one's a bit weird. [She tosses her head, making her paper lei bounce.] What the heck is up with these?

Thank you. [And around her neck it goes.]

I wonder what kind of flowers these are.

That's very true! [Lucy looks at her own multicolored assortment of leis.] What, the necklaces? I'm not sure--it's something to do with the theme, Haway-something-or-other. But they're rather pretty, aren't they?

Ook? [Red ones?]

[Of course he is. Have a nice pink one. He gives a friendly ook in return.]

[She looks down to study them.] Yes…that's right. I wonder if I could plant them in my garden.
