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.

[ Ryoji heard all about New Feather welcome party, and he remembers having a really fun time at the one he attended a few days after he first arrived, too. So of course, even though he's super sleepy and nearly falls asleep several times on the way here, he's going to come to the party and say to as many new people as he can!

... or at least that's his intention.

What happens instead is that he winds up falling asleep in one of the chairs, cradling a half-finished drink and a there-quarters-eaten cookie for a while. Later he winds up falling asleep again leaning against the wall. And in fact, it wouldn't be surprising if he winds up nodding off a little standing up at some point.

Feel free to wake him up at any point! Or trip over him. Or draw on his face! He'd look good with a marker mustache, right? ]

[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?

[gleamed]

[Regardless of the weather, Rapunzel is absolutely thrilled to be attending a party. She's never been to one before, and the idea of just being able to walk around and talk to whoever she wants to and make friends is pretty much the greatest thing ever.

Her hair is done up in a massive braid to keep it off the ground, so you won't have to worry about tripping over it! Pascal is also riding atop her shoulder--he looks a little less thrilled to be here than she is, but Rapunzel is having a good time, and as long as that's true, he's content.

She will be trying all the foods and playing all the games, but really, she just wants to meet people and thus have a good time. If you don't approach her, she may very well approach you!]

[madpuppeteer]

[ Despite the drizzle outside, Relius found himself still drawn to the party by the foolish antics of a noble few. There was nothing noteworthy to discuss regarding either the food or activities, but Relius found himself rather intrigued by the many people that came. ]

Hm...

[ A thoughtful hum escaped the puppeteer as he watched the masses mingle amongst themselves. ]

How peculiar, why on earth would the captives here host an elaborate gathering such as this one? Oh, the irony of it all.

[ Keeping his eyes on the crowd from a relatively safe distance, Relius scoffed silently at all the tomfoolery already taking place. He wasn't terribly impressed with these individuals but at least they are entertaining. ]

[quicktoanger]

Well, I wasn't sure why I was here, but I was here, and hey, why not check out the local wildlife? I'd already met Luke Skywalker and somebody I was rapidly beginning to suspect was an X-man. Well, X-Woman. I guess.

It was very egalitarian of me. Murphy would be proud.

The point is, I was here for three purposes. One was to start networking, because networks are information and information was the key to making sure this place didn't completely screw Molly and I.

The second was just to generally be a sociable guy, and see if anybody had need of a freelance wizard- somehow I suspected it might get better reactions from people who knew Jedi than from the folks back home.

The third was because, as I was rapidly discovering, this place was duller than wet cardboard most days, and just about the only exciting thing to do was find new celebrities. I had to one-up King Arthur somehow, and I had no idea how to go about it. So I hovered, I mingled, and I kept an eye out.

[shying]

[Oh my... there's a lot of people here, aren't there? Fluttershy had decided to go to the party to try and meet some more people, maybe get a better idea of what humans are like, but now that she's here, it's a little unnerving.

Thus, the party will have a little yellow pony hiding away in the corner and watching the visitors, trying not to look as nervous as she feels. And in an occasional burst of bravery, she might even approach someone! ...If they look nice and harmless and not into squirrel-punching.]

[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?

[thinglike]

[Unfortunately, keeping your eyes on the crowd makes it very hard to notice Cheagles. Mieu is out and about in the crowd, and he's not too far from Relius when he starts to talk to himself. Being naturally concerned about that, the unassuming animal walks closer and looks up at him. He only looks kind of scary, but then again, a lot of people in Luceti look scary to him.]

Are you okay?

[gleamed]

[For a long moment Rapunzel just...stares at the pony. She has absolutely never seen anything like her before in her life. To a normal person, it might seem strange to see a winged pony inside attending a party, but Rapunzel's friends include a chameleon and a stallion, so. She barely bats an eye.

The pony does look a bit nervous, though. So Rapunzel's just going to waltz right over and peer at her with a huuuuuge grin.]

Hello! You looked a bit lonely over here by yourself, so I came to keep you company!

[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.

[rocketpunch]

[So, Precis missed the last party, so she added it to her calendar to definitely attend this one. Aside from her small birthday party, she had never been to a party before. It was exciting! And people didn't think she was weird here, which was even better. ...Well, aside from the yaoi incident, at least.

But now that she's at the party, she's a bit nervous. She'll be sticking close to the refreshments. She has her robot Robbie right at her side, and she's actually cleaned her face for once. No grease!

She might not approach you, but Robbie might bump into you. Or she can be approached! She doesn't look too intimidating, she left her weapons at home.]

[feelinghot]

[Well, Ilia's not looking to actively start up any conversations (it's more of having a look at how things are done here— parties are somewhere in there too, surely) so it's the robot that gains her attention instead. Even if it's not even bumping into her yet.

...is that an actual robot? In a place like this?

So she might be staring a bit.]

[rocketpunch]

[Precis doesn't even notice Ilia's staring at first. Robbie's on the fritz, so she's busy keeping an eye on him so he doesn't run out the door. On one hand, she could have left it at home...but she's mentioned him so many times that she decided it wouldn't be the same without a chance to show him off.

If only he wasn't in one of his moods!]

Robbie, stop. Moving. Geesh. Did you get water in your or something?

[She places a foot on him, and his tiny arms flail around. Can't move now, the bastard.

And that's when she notices Ilia watching.]



My face is up here, you know.

[feelinghot]

[Whoops! Caught.]

Oh, is this robot yours?

[sharpness]

[Parties aren't entirely Yukio's thing, but there isn't any loud pounding music or anything ridiculous here. Just talking and drinking, nothing he isn't already familiar with from spending time with his class back home after missions. This he can manage.

Taking a seat in a nice comfy chair with a cup of tea, quietly watching the party go on around him. He isn't against getting into conversations with other people though, so he does go out of his way to talk with a few people here and there but nothing too exciting to draw attention to him. This one is mixing in with the crowds like pro.

Despite just wanting to blend in it might have done him well to have left the whole True Cross get up at home. But nope, he's here in his nice long coat and utility belt full of medicine and ammo. Total party wear, right?]

[rocketpunch]

Yep! Robbie's mine. [Some old woman is talking to her at a party. What does she say?] Do you like robots? I built him myself.

I had to try so hard not to work in a rating, you know. So hard.

[feelinghot]

It isn't my area of expertise, but I've seen some really impressive ones before. [She darts a quick glance at the robot that's still...struggling at being stepped on.] In fact, I'd say building something like this alone is pretty impressive myself.

[rocketpunch]

O-oh, you really think so? [Bragging about him over the network isn't really like having some random stranger meet him. She nods.] You have a real eye for quality, then! Robbie's the best there is. He's just...got a few personality problems right now.

[emp3thy]

[Minato is sitting at one of the game tables, idly rolling around the dice from a game of Yahtzee, in between rounds of talking to people and making sure Ryoji hasn't fallen asleep in someone's food again. It's an odd role-reversal.

This game really doesn't look all that fun with one person, though... maybe she should join in?]

[feelinghot]

["He" for a machine's rather weird, but then again, Precis wouldn't the first person referring to their stuff like that. Though Precis does seem a little young...]

Well, what's he supposed to do?

[rocketpunch]

Oh, he does all kind of things! Like, he can turn into a raygun, grow larger, fire lasers...nothing I can really show you. Are you interested in that kind of thing?

[madpuppeteer]

[ It took Relius a moment to realize he was being spoken to but once he did, the puppeteer fell silent. 'Just what in the world is that thing', he wondered quietly. It looked cross between a mouse and a rabbit in his opinion, like some sort of beastkin. Keeping his gaze focused on the peculiar creature, Relius unwillingly answered it. ]

Quite well, I can assure you.

[emp3thy]

[It's okay, folks. This boy has a handler.

Minato will be reversing roles for once and staying awake to watch another person sleep. So, if Ryoji is too unresponsive for your tastes, maybe the lineface guy standing nearby with a drink will be a better conversationalist.]

[mistlegacy]

[Rydia is there early and why not? A cozy gathering at the center sounds like fun. She'll be sure to help as much as she can, setting out refreshments and replenishing them as need be. That's not all she's doing, though; she'll readily mingle with any newcomers, ready to answer their questions and do her best to make the more reserved ones feel at home.

Whenever one passes, she'll nod to them and smile warmly.]

Hello! Enjoying yourself, I hope?

[mistlegacy]

[Rydia catches sight of Rapunzel rather quickly and smiles, heading over.]

Hello, you two! I hope you've been settling in alright?
