Who: Everyone. New Feathers! Old Feathers...?
What: New Feather welcome party.
When: 18th, 6 pm onwards.
Where: Welcome Centre.
Summary: This is a party. There's food and games (if you like) but the idea behind it is basically to mingle mingle mingle. Maybe make a new friend/enemy/frenemy or two?
Rating: G-PG 13 at most? There might be kids in these things, man.

The all-day rain outside makes the entire atmosphere a little drippy, a little wet, a little miserable. But rain or not, the party must go on! Or at least, so the saying goes.

It's a cosy little setup-- food, warm drinks, tables and chairs to lounge around in. So come on in, dry yourself off, have some fun. Why the hell not? The weather outside is frightful.

[A party made for mingling? Molly is so there.

Of course, it's a little weird to have a 'Welcome to Our Holding Facility' sort of gathering, but Molly figured that if she had been stuck in a place this long only to have new people arrive every two months or so, she'd probably want to throw a party every now and then too. At least it meant that the natives were friendly.

Probably.

Either way, Molly will be hard to miss. At 5"11 with her hair dyed at the tips, even wearing a T-Shirt, jacket, and distressed jeans, she's all curves and vaguely regretting not having taken the time to do some Serious Shopping instead of just grabbing all the T-Shirts in her style that she'd seen in the past few days. She touches the leather bracelet with its small cross charm at her wrist a bit nervously before shooting a smile at whoever passes by.]

So, some party, right?

[ribbonbon]

[After having missed the last New Feather party, Pilouette had been determined to come to the most recent one. People had been so nice to her when she arrived four months ago, so it would only be right to pay to forward, right?

As she mills about, she stops when the woman addresses her. She always gets the tiniest bit nervous when she's talking to adults, but she's gonna try her best to act like a mature adult instead of the awkward teen she is.]

Oh! Yeah! The people who set it up really put a lot of work into it, huh?

[talentsgirl]

[Hey, hey. Young woman. Mid-twenties isn't too intimidating, right?

Molly stops fiddling with her bracelet and smiles at the younger girl, looking at her eyes for the merest, politest second before focusing elsewhere on her face.]

It looks like it. I'm Molly.

[And she holds out a handshake of universal welcome?]

[ribbonbon]

[But she's an adult, that makes her auto-cool, doesn't it? Pils accepts the handshake with a smile.]

Pilouette. Nice to meet you~!

Adjusting to this place okay so far?

[talentsgirl]

Oh - as best as I can, I guess. [Molly withdraws her hand and smiles.]

Pilouette - is that French? Or are you from some other kind of world?

[feelinghot]

[Ilia's decidedly less hip in the T-shirt department but she's at least pretty up-to-date in the newbie thing. Though being spoken to— that catches her off-guard for a moment.]

It sure is. I didn't expect to hear about a party in a place like this.

[talentsgirl]

[Ilia, Molly likes your boots and belts. She grins at the other woman.]

I guess it makes sense, though. I mean, it's like a constant Fresher week every two months or so - gather all the newbies in one place and do a meet and greet sounds like it'll save people some time.

[Not that. You know. Molly's ever been to a Fresher week. But she's heard things.]

[feelinghot]

[Not that time really is an issue if you're stuck in a place like this. But that's okay, she'll find her way out. Somehow.]

Yeah. I guess it isn't all doom and gloom either if they have these things every once in a while.

[talentsgirl]

Is that what you heard about this place? That it was all 'doom and gloom?'

[Molly takes a sip from her cup.]

[mistlegacy]

[Rydia pauses from just after replenishing the refreshments, flashing a smile.]

You think so? Good! Rise will be glad to know all her work has paid off.

[talentsgirl]

Was she the one that put this together? Is she here? I'd like to thank her.

[Also, wow, what great hair. The way this woman carried herself, what she was wearing... Molly almost wondered if she was one of the fae. Crap. Maybe she shouldn't have said 'thank.']

[mistlegacy]

[She glances around briefly, but soon focuses back on the newcomer.]

She's around here somewhere, though I don't spot her at the moment. Maybe she's in the kitchen.

Anyway, I'm Rydia, one of the volunteers. It's nice to meet you!

[talentsgirl]

I'm Molly. [And when talking with someone who could potentially be one of the Fae, Molly doesn't let her You've Got Mail generation of cocktail waitress hang-ups get in the way of caution.]

It's nice to meet you, Rydia. And - I have to say, your hair is really beautiful.

[stillplaying]

[It's the girl's hair that catches her attention first. It reminds her a little of some of the hair colors she saw in the Capitol, although not nearly as extreme. And her clothing is almost too drab for someone of the Capitol.

She shrugs in response to the question.]

I guess.

[talentsgirl]

[Molly smiles in response to the shrug, and the girl's seeming indifference.]

I'm Molly, Molly Carpenter.

[stillplaying]

Katniss Everdeen.

[folklorist]

[ Have a derpy headmaster wandering on by you Molly. He's holding a tray of what looks to be hole-less donuts. He'll stop short noting that Molly herself doesn't have one and then he goes to offer like any good helper would. ]

Oh, yes, it's amazing what sorts of parties the people here can put together. The last one we had a beach theme, the battledome was quite helpful in those regards! I suppose any party can help fight the rainy day gloom, hm?

[ He'll offer her the plate he's holding. ] Gogosi?

[talentsgirl]

[Molly blinked down at the tray and responded automatically to his request.] Bless you?

[folklorist]

[ Helios blinks and then laughs a little shaking his head. Not wanting to embarrass her he gives a kind smile before clearing his throat. ] Gogosi. They're, um, Romanian donuts. Quite tasty! I have chocolate and strawberry jelly filled ones if you'd like any.

[ Nobody can turn down donuts. No one! ]

[phasingthrough]

[A PARTY! Man, this place sure knows how to welcome a girl. It's nice to forget about everything else for awhile, because home was awful, and if she's gonna be stuck here, she might as well have fun with it.]

Huh? Oh yeah, totally. [Staring at the hair for a second.] Your hair is, like, so cool. [Nothing Kitty would do, but hey! Fits the girl well.]

[talentsgirl]

[Molly laughs and tucks a multicolored strand behind an ear with a hand tattooed with brown whirls and swirls that disappear up her jacket pocket.]

Thanks. [She flashes a quick grin.] And no, they're not normal colors in my world.

[Mercy, how many times has she been asked that in three days. One of these times she's going to have to answer yes.]

[phasingthrough]

[Kitty couldn't help but laugh because that was something she wasn't thinking about asking, but it kinda made sense that it'd be a question she'd get a lot.] You totally work it though.

Names Kitty. [She sticks out her hand.]

[rashness]

[And then Rin tripped over the punch table.

...There's actually a lot more context to this. See, he was watching Molly (and presumably other people??) talk with Yukio, and he saw someone who he should perhaps intercept. After being distracted by something, likely boobs, he took a step forward and tripped on his own tail. Which hurts, let me tell you. He tried to get his balance again, but in the end fell forward, rolled as to try to not knock too much off the table, and faceplant on the ground in front of Molly.

He also ends up flipping off the world as he starts to get up]

[talentsgirl]

[...she can hear Harry making jokes about this now.]

Hey, you ok--[She catches sight of the tail as she bends down to grab the kid's offending hand and help him get up.

Oh. Well.

Crap.]

[rashness]

[And he lowers the finger looking up at her sheepishly - wow weird hair - oh well. And he grins, getting on one knee and putting his palm on the other one]

Ossu... yeah, I'm fine.
