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.

Ha, I knew it! Winry would never agree, but I know it's a great name.

[...Wait, what.]

...Why were you and Winry talking about naming kids? [He would so not even think of having that conversation with Astrid. Not unless he wanted to be punched in the mouth.]

Wh-what? We weren't! I just figure that's what she'd say.

[Talking about kids with Winry, PFFFFFFT what a weird thing to say hahahaha NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN RIGHT.]

[EH HEH HEH. Hiccup gives Ed That Look.]

Still. Kind of seems odd for you to point out her specifically.

[Why does he not like where this is going.]

W-well because... she wants kids! So that's the kind of thing she'd think about a lot, so of course she'd have an opinion about it. ...Probably!

[You brought it on yourself, bro.]

Uhuh, right. Sure. If you say so.

What? You don't think I actually meant anything by that, do you?

[BECAUSE HE AND WINRY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING GOING OKAY SO DON'T EVEN]

No! Eheh...nooo, but this is a pretty big reaction, you've got to admit.

[Wow, he never gets to do this. Feels good to be on the other end, man.]

It's not a big reaction!! Winry's my friend! How would you react if I said you were into her or something?

[DEFENSE AND DENIAL HIS NEW BEST FRIENDS]

[He just shrugs, still grinning.]

She's my friend. Plus, I have a g--well, never mind. About that. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it.

[...Was that a slip-up.]

A girlfriend?

...Well, yeah. Back home, though.

[He sighs. Way to suck the fun out of the conversation, Hiccup.] But I'm not sure that that really counts anymore.

Why not? Because you're here and she's there?

[That better not be the excuse, bro.]

Well...sort of, I guess. It's a long time to not see someone--and it's not that I don't care about her anymore. I...I do. I really do. But...what if I never go back?

[How long does he wait?]

...I don't know.

[How long does a person wait? It's... not something he'd given much thought about, until very recently. Finding out about Winry and Haruhi - knowing he'd kept her waiting for too long, both back home and while she was in Luceti - had given him good reason to ponder it.

Much as he'd like to not do that. So yeah, he's probably the worst person to offer advice there.]

Guess it's just something you have to decide yourself.

[Ah, Hiccup should have expected that kind of answer. Anything else would make it too easy.]

Yeah. Guess so. [Inhale.] Sorry. That's kind of a...weird topic of conversation, I know.

[He shrugs.] You'd be surprised at how often I get into weird conversations. I'm not someone you should be asking about girls, though.

[Hey, look! Something they have in common. Remarkable.]

Yeah, same here. I don't exactly...have the best of luck, when it comes to girls.

Well hey, you got a girlfriend. Maybe there's hope for us both.

[Not that he's inclined (or even wanting) to look, considering his current situation. But hey, eventually that kind of thing might enter the equation.]

[Yes, even they can have luck with girls, too! ;A;]

Yeah. Uh. Hopefully.

[Uh-huh. Weirdness. Hoo boy.]

Anyway, I've had enough of the noise- I'm heading back to the house. I'll see you around, okay?

[Yeah, strange conversation.]

Right. Take care, and everything. [He waves.]
