Who: Anyone who wants to come!
What: Autumn (Equinox) Celebration
When: Today, at 9PM to Midnight (and maybe even after)
Where: Around the Rec Center
Summary: Brigade party! There's food! There's lights! There's music! There's fireworks!
Rating: A for Abacus

There were lights! Autumn-appropriate decorations! There were tables of food (though very little of it is vegetarian friendly)! There was even a stage for music and entertainment! Still waiting was the fireworks to take place at midnight, but otherwise things were set up to more or less respectable Brigade standards. Maybe Haruhi hadn't done it herself, but it was done well enough, thanks to the efforts of being coordinated by Mikage.

The stage was left open for anyone to perform that wanted to. The karaoke machine had been dragged outside for people to sing along to, regardless of talent, or otherwise just to play music when no one was on stage. Naturally inside the Rec Center itself is a variety of pool tables, foosball, air hockey, and a TV with some video games. Just enough to keep things a little fun. If only there was a pool.

[He nods.]

When we first met, I had a watch that made me look normal. But it was just a trick. So... I showed you what I looked like. And then you showed me your other form. [He avoids saying her true form. Because it's different than his own situation and he knows it.]

I see.

[She smiles again, shy but grateful.]

I'm glad you're not wearing that watch now. It's...easier to know that you know, this way.

[He's not sure how to take it, but he chooses to do so in a good way.]

I guess it's pretty weird for you, since so many people already know you, yeah?

[She nods.]

It would be like...well, if you had that watch, but people constantly told you about how they knew anyway, wouldn't it? I mean, it's nice that people don't seem to mind, but...I wish I could remember trusting them enough for that. You know?

[A nod. He can sort of understand that.]

Yeah... and you can't just start trusting them all over again. Who knows how they found out originally, right?

Right.

[And she's at the point where trusting people is not exactly the easiest thing to do.]

...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to keep you from the party, if that's what you wanted.

Nah. [Handwave.] I talked to you, remember? Besides, if this is all new to you... then you'll need someone to show you how to have fun, yeah?

[...well. Since he put it that way, she nods shyly.]

I guess that's true. Thank you, Kurt.

It's cool. [He turns around, stepping to one side of the tables.]

So, do you know anything about Table Football?

...Table Football?

[That would be a 'no'.]

[He thought so. He starts twirling the handles, causing the little wooden player to spin around.]

It's like football. You have a ball and you have to get it to the goal on the other side. You use your little players, spin them around, and make them kick the ball. I do the same thing, while trying to stop you. First one to ten wins.

[She nods cautiously.]

I think I understand. It sounds simple enough.

[He sets the ball in the middle.]

Go ahead and start us out.

[She stares at the ball for a moment, then nods and tries to do as he mentioned just a moment ago. Using one of those players, she tries to make them kick the ball over toward the other side.]

Ahh, see? You've got it.

[He blocks the ball of course and then sends it to the other side of the board. Since Terra is a beginner, he sends it slow enough to be easily blocked.]

[Terra has to work to block it in time, but she manages, barely. A small smile forms a she sends it back toward his side.]

This isn't so bad....

[Naturally he blocks it, sending it back a little more aggressively.]

You seem like you've got it down pretty good too!

I--oops!

[This time, she isn't able to block it. But oh well, she'll try again.]

[A victory smirk, but he sets the ball back in the middle.]

Ahh, too bad. Maybe next time!
