New Feather Party!

[ribbonbon]

Who: New Feathers, Not-so-New Feathers and everyone in between!
What: New Feather Party!
When: May 24th, 5:00 PM
Where: The School Cafeteria
Summary: Party! Meet people! Eat things! Join stuff!
Rating: PG at the most



For the first time a in a while, a New Feather Party is taking place! Everyone has been working hard, making sure that everything is ready for the big day. The school cafeteria is decorated with streamers, some spring flowers and a hand-painted Welcome banner, placed right where everyone can see it. Most of the foods are simple party snacks: cakes, cookies, sandwiches and the like. However, Rin has hauled over a grill and is providing some cooked foods.

The most important part is the booths. The various organizations in Luceti have been invited to set up booths and tables in order to recruit new members and to inform the new feathers of their existence. There's even a general information booth, run by Marita Covarrubias, so New Feathers can ask any questions they have about Luceti. After all, when adjusting to a new place, information about your surroundings is the most important thing!

Near the end of the party, once it's a little darker out, there's even a small fireworks show. It's a nice way a party. After all, who doesn't like fireworks?

Set up!

[All afternoon, Pilouette has been nervously scuttling about. After not having a New Feather Party for so long, she really wants this to go well, having spent most of her free time during the week putting up flyers about the party or getting supplies or making plans and even spent a while earlier in the day baking some snacks.

However, she's not really good at asking other people to do things, so she's been asking people if they need her to do anything or anything they need her to go and get for them. If you're setting up something, she'll probably scuttle up to you to offer her assistance.]

Um! Is there any way I can help you?

[descrier]

[ Marita is setting up the information booth, making sure to leave her journal open to the written guide for reference, as she looks up to see the organizer of the party asking if she can help. ]

I think I should be all set up... but thank you for offering.

Pilouette, correct? [ She extends her hand, her demeanor both professional and open. ] Marita Covarrubias, as I'm sure you've recognized by the booth.

[knightofratatosk]

[Emil blinks, looking up from where he's attaching a poster to the Brave Vesperia booth. It's not the fanciest booth there, but he's hoping it will serve its purpose well enough.]

Oh, um... maybe you could tell me what you think of it so far?

[rashness]

[Rin is here to help with the ... set up! ...Well okay he's got his own grill to lug in and some ingredients to check, but really that won't take all that long and thereafter he'll probably offer to help with other things before going back to making sure the food is in order]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune always loves pitching in and lending a hand, and she always makes sure to try her best at every single party she's invited to.

Unfortunately, given the state of her memory, usually that results in a dozen little half-finished projects scattered here, there, and everywhere. Would anyone like to clean up after her, or maybe gently guide her back to one of her forgotten projects?]

Booths and Activities

[ribbonbon]

INFORMATION BOOTH

[descrier]

[ Do you have any questions about what is listen in the guide? Have you even received the guide? Marita is sitting in a nondescript booth that reads INFORMATION AND QUESTIONS ABOUT LUCETI, so feel free to ask her anything that is on your mind. ]

TELL US ONE THING ABOUT YOUR WORLD

[descrier]

[ Think of it as an ice breaker, your character states one fact about the world they are from. This is a discussion group setting, but for convenience and tidiness characters can individually tag the person stating the fact.

For example:
Character A: In my world, you can pilot giant robots.

THREAD #1
Character B: That's incredible! How is that possible?
Character A: Well, it's simple...

THREAD #2
Character C: That's impossible! Where do you get so much fuel?
Character A: It's powered by...

So on and so forth. If you'd also like to do a discussion thread with 3+ characters, please feel free to as well. ]

[heartofthematter]

Um... Where I come from, there're creatures called Pokémon that we live with. This is Lax! He's a Munchlax and one of my very best friends.

[The Munchlax waves from his spot on Diamond's lap.]

BRAVE VESPERIA

[knightofratatosk]

[Emil gets there early to set up the guild booth, adorned with several of the posters that Caius made to advertise the guild around Luceti. Once he's got it all set up, he'll be spending the rest of the time hanging around it to answer any questions people might have.

There's a sheet on the table there for anyone who wants to sign up!]

[untrueheart]

[As of now, Emil is the only person Rue finds familiar at this party (excluding Duck and Mytho if the former chose to attend and she dragged the latter along). She can't exactly summon the resolve to talk to him directly.

She just stands at the fringes and ghosts around his booth instead. Taking a step forward every so often but then retreating - not to good for any appearance of friendliness.]

[lostlegacy]

[Sup, Emil. Have a little girl at your booth, checking out the decorations.

Sophie came with Grune to the party, but unsurprisingly, Grune has since become distracted and wandered off, leaving her charge to make her own entertainment. At the moment, she doesn't look all that impressed, but having very low reading skills would probably have something to do with that.

Say hello?]

RIN COOKS THINGS

[rashness]

[He brought his own grill and everything. He's mostly there with grilled vegetables, meats, and some fish, but he'll take special requests too. He's here as a show of good faith with Pilouette, as he also helped to set some stuff up earlier. So there's a boy with a tail and an apron doing stuff for your hunger]

THE FASHION CLUB

[cuteisawayoflife]

[Having a wardrobe crisis? Searching for a new look? Then the Fashion Club is here for you! Whether you just want to sit in and listen or become a full-fledged member, you'll never find two girls as helpful and stylish as Quinn Morgendorffer and Bulla Brief!]

LET'S DO THIS

[zeropoints]

[Actually, he thinks he just walked into the wrong area because, uh, what's... going... on... WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT FASHION...????

OKAY, IT'S DEFINITELY TIME TO LEAVE. BYE.]

I am late. Whoops.

[tokennonbender]

[Judging from what she's wearing, Asami already has a handle on fashion, but she is still quite fond of the concept, which is why she turns us up at the Fashion Club area, absently looking around, seeing if they have any brochures or anything.]

Magic Club!!

[folklorist]

Amidst this booth is floating iridescent creatures. All of which are magically created and happily floating about the cafeteria without a care in the world. Helios will of course be sitting by the booth with a baby dragon nestled in his lap and another sitting under his chair. Helios will offer anyone who takes an interest a pamphlet which is just a general outline of the magic club and what happens at the meetings. There's no scheduled time for the next meeting but Helios will undoubtedly tell people when there will be one.

But for now his booth has some cupcakes and things on it for people who are hungry and just want something to snack on while they look around.

[lostlegacy]

[Okay, this is definitely the coolest booth Sophie has taken in so far. She's basically just going to park herself in front of it and stare at everything...or possibly go up to Helios and start trying to pet that there baby dragon.

Now this is more like it!]

[elevatoravatar]

Elizabeth peers over at the creatures, tilting her head slightly and pondering.

"So are these you as well, or are they from your power?"

Snack Area!

[ribbonbon]

[elevatoravatar]

There is a pale woman in blue looking over and trying a few of every snack. She's all ready eaten enough to make someone of normal appetite want to sit down and take a nap yet she continues.

"Hrm... Is this what they call a buffet?"

[heartofthematter]

[Diamond is pretty impressed by her. He's never seen someone - outside of himself, Red, Gold, and Chouji he's seen personally - eat so much! And besides, he's picking up a few snacks for the Munchlax next to him too, so why not talk?]

Something like it! Buffets are usually way bigger and filled with more food, not just snacks, but this is definitely a sort~.

[tearmeanewone]

[...well it was very cute, Elizabeth would give it that.]

[When she'd heard there was a party for the New Feathers, Elizabeth had been very excited to go and see what a real party was like. But now that she's here, she's realizing that she's never been to a party and has no idea what to do at one.]

[So she's standing, awkwardly. Not even a glass of punch to keep her company. What exactly did one do at these things? There wasn't any music to dance to--that might have helped her at least.]

[ribbonbon]

[Pilouette is doing her best to make sure people are having fun, even if trying to play host isn't something she's quite used to doing. It actually makes her feel a little awkward suddenly trying to talk to so many people she doesn't know very well.

So when she sees Elizabeth standing alone, she does her best to put on a smile and heads on over.]

Like, hi! Um, doing okay?
