Luceti Projects Mingle

Who: Anyone and everyone interested in Luceti Projects.
What: Luceti Projects meet-and-greet!
When: Backdated to the 22nd. Begins at noon, lasts all day.
Where: The barracks.
Summary: A few LP members have organized a get-together at the barracks for those with an interest in Luceti Projects to talk, eat, and relax while socializing.
Rating: PG

[ Quite a bit of thought and elbow grease has been put into preparing the barracks for this event. A banner is tacked across above the entrance that reads, "Welcome to Luceti Projects Opening Celebration!" in green paint. It's not exactly the sort of arts and craft masterpiece it could have been had they enlisted the help of one of the kids (such as Ikki), but it's better than nothing.

Just before entering the main festivities is a table with a sign-up sheet, manned by different members of Luceti Projects on a rotating basis, to answer questions or encourage sign-up.

Through the open doors of the barracks' largest hall, long wooden farmstyle tables have been set in rows to encourage mingling, placed adjacent to tables filled with food and drink that hug the walls. A wide range of different appetizers, snacks, and larger entrees have been set out for attendees, with plenty of plates, utensils, cups, and napkins. As a way to encourage more cultural exchange, the cuisine, catered by Okumura Rin, includes a little from different worlds -- cheese and crackers; sushi and yakitori; pasta and roast chicken; salads and other vegetable dishes, including a vegetable and potato stew, heavily featuring corn. A few sweets, such as cookies and a few cakes, sit alongside the savory dishes, next to which sits a very large bowl of non-alcoholic fruit punch (courtesy of Ms. Ginia). There is plenty of water, soft drinks, teas and coffee, and milk.

For those interested in trying out a more communal dish, placed about every five feet of table is a hot pot, specifically for sukiyaki, inside which vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, thin-sliced beef slowly simmer in a delicate broth of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Under these simmering ingredients is a base of udon and shirataki noodles to soak up the broth. Small bowls, utensils, and condiments such as soy sauce and eggs for the sauce, sit alongside each pot to encourage communal sharing.

On the other side of the hall is a wet bar (wo)manned by Ginia, with plenty of booze and an alcoholic variety of punch. Coolers filled with beer sit on the floor behind the wet bar. Martinis and other mixed drinks will be served in biodegradable plastic cups.

The smell of charcoal and wood burning wafts through the open back doors, from the glow of a respectably sized bonfire built behind the building, alongside which a long table is set, its surface filled with an assortment of graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallows, large sausages, kabobs with different meats and vegetables, and skewers for roasting.

A few yards away are the outdoor training grounds where a rather large array of weapons, both lethal and non-lethal of the wooden variety, have been set out for anyone who would like to spar. Some dried-out logs have been repurposed into a spectator area. The only rules posted: no use of magic or anything else that could critically harm opponents or spectators. No guns, except in the target practice area. Absolutely no killing. ]



(OOC: Assume that your character will be served drinks by Ginia at the bar, so use the bar area to mingle with whomever else, unless you’d like a thread. If your character would like to man the sign-up area, feel free to just drop them in on anyone. If they don’t know how to answer a question, just have them direct anything to either Erwin or Kakashi. Most importantly, have fun!!

Also, if your character hasn't voted about the LP leadership structure, the poll is still open over here! Even if they don't want to make a comment on the post itself, they can definitely still vote!)

[Sigh, oh Vash. She's been able to eat the little bits and pieces he gives her, but seeing him eat so enthusiastically throws her off. The unfamiliar voice causes her to choke on whatever she's eating however, her eyes widening in shock. Oh no! She's had enough of people seeing her small like this!

As quickly as she can she drops whatever she was eating and climbs over Vash's collar, trying to hide herself on the other side of his neck and firmly out of view from where she heard the voice. Unfortunately, it might be a bit difficult to hide if Vash happens to be ticklish...]

[Between the unexpected movement of Adela hopping into his tall collar and the fact that he is ticklish Vash starts laughing.] HAHAHAHA! STOP! THAT- [Wait. He was being greeted. Adela was trying to suddenly hide. Did she not want to be seen? He clamps a hand over his mouth as he tries to stop laughing as he turns towards Kakashi, lowering his hand again.]

Oh! Hey there, ahhh - Kakashi, right?

[ Well, that was strange. For a moment, it looked like Vash was squirming a bit and talking to-- Kakashi can swear he saw a flash of red, some sort of movement by his collar, but maybe he's imagining things.

He stares at Vash for a moment, then realizes that he's being rude and switches gears. ]

Right.

[personal profile] enchantressofore 2014-04-01 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh thank goodness. It looks like she wasn't noticed. Quietly she sighs, shifting to sit and make herself comfortable and suddenly thankful that Vash's coat is such a vivid shade of red - an almost perfect match to her hair. It must have made her harder to see. Truthfully she had been about to kick him for being so noisy, but it seems like he wasn't caught, for now...

And neither was she. The sooner she was her normal height again the better...]

[Vash twitches as Adela settles in his collar. Trying to keep his cool as he talks to Kakashi.] Ah-hahaha. It's NICE to see y-YOU here! Having fun?
ura_no_ura: (deadpan)

[personal profile] ura_no_ura 2014-04-01 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Wow, Vash is a lot... twitchier than Kakashi had expected he would be in person. He quirks a brow as he eyes what he thinks looks like a bit of ... wiggling? near his collar, but then focuses back on Vash's face instead.

That wiggling might've been a weird shoulder-twitch.

...or maybe he has a pet with him, like a Pokemon, that just happens to be shy and is hiding, or something along those lines. Would make a lot of sense as to why it looks like his collar was moving on its own just now. ]

Sure. Are you enjoying yourself?
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (How can you say no to this face?)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-04-01 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
HAHAHAHAHA! [Vash would be sorry for the loud laughing, Adela, but getting closer to where that sound comes from was her choice.] Having a heck of a good time! It's like I've been touched by a tiny angel who will sit on my shoulder and tell me what good deeds I should do today!

Or well, at least what good food I should sample first! Because it all looks so very tasty!

[He won't outright expose Adela, but he'll have a little fun trying to expose her anyway.

Be glad, Kakashi, this is the man you had a serious talk about defending Luceti with. Truly... he is a master. A master of what is yet to be made clear.]

[Vash... She can barely restrain a growl, unsure of how good the man's hearing is as she crosses her arms over her chest with a huff. Damn it she's no angel... But he has to be speaking metaphorically, there's no way someone would be foolish enough to actually believe the nonsense Vash was spouting.]
ura_no_ura: (is that so?)

[personal profile] ura_no_ura 2014-04-01 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...a tiny angel who sits on his shoulder.

Right.

At least someone's having a good time at the party. Kakashi's glad that all the hard work that went into planning this event is more or less paying off. ]

Well, there's plenty of food to go around, so help yourself. I recommend trying the sushi, it's very fresh. The sukiyaki's also quite good, and apparently the chef's specialty -- ah, that would be the dish in the pots over there.

[ He gestures towards the table behind them. ]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Hey!!! Me likey!)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-04-01 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! A chef's specialty? I'll have to try that! As long as my little angel would like to try that too! I sure hope she does!

Then again, hard to ignore a recommendation of sushi. Do they taste as good as a Salmon sandwich? [Because that's one thing he's really missed eating since the ability to eat baked goods like bread was taken from him.]
enchantressofore: Thanks to Tarot for the B/W bases! (Who in the world can tolerate you?)

[personal profile] enchantressofore 2014-04-01 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[That time Vash might feel a harsh pinching at the crook of his neck, the girl twitching as she has to listen to him. Okay that is a little too close to revealing her, and mentally she's telling him to shut up but who knows with him...]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Okay guys... who cut one?)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-04-01 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[And Vash will visibly wince right after his comment for Kakashi to see.] Yewoch!
ura_no_ura: (そうか?)

[personal profile] ura_no_ura 2014-04-01 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Aha, he knew it.

Not only does the comment about the little angel give it away, but that wince most certainly did. ]

Do you have something hiding in that collar of yours? A pet, maybe?

[ Curiously, as he eyes the slight movement at Vash's collar. ]
enchantressofore: Thanks to Tarot for the B/W bases! (What in the world is that!?)

[personal profile] enchantressofore 2014-04-01 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ACK. No. No. She's panicking then, looking to try and find a way out --

-- and that's when she slips. And cries out as she goes straight down the back of Vash's coat. And is yelling almost all the way down while trying frantically to cling onto something to slow her fall. At last it ends with her managing to slow by clinging to the very edge of the coat, but the yank of downward force causes her to let go and land on the floor harshly.

Well, for her. So she's shaking and groaning a bit as she tries to get up from that.]


Ow...
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Aw come on...)

1/2

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-04-01 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I guess you could say I have- [He was going to make some rude comment about Adela being some sort of love creature, but it's interrupted as he feels Adela start squirming around then suddenly can't feel her and that's a bit unnerving.]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (OMFG WUT!?)

2/2

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-04-01 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[And then the next moment he can feel her as she tickles her way down his back. Yet, he's more worried about her safety as she tumbles down. He tries to wiggle his body to give her something to latch on. Knowing if he makes a sudden quick movement his coat will probably snap against her. A forceful move he's not sure her body can handle.] Oh crap! Crap! Crap! CRAP!

[He was debating doing it anyway, up until at the last moment he feels her momentum slowing enough that it's probably safe for her to fall to the floor. Not comfortable, but not deadly either.]

Adela! Are you alright?! [Crap. He can't see where exactly she landed with the tails of his coat in the way.] And where are you exactly? [As he's guessing it's near his feet.]
ura_no_ura: (はー?)

[personal profile] ura_no_ura 2014-04-01 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Okay, he definitely was not expecting that.

He stares down at the tiny little... thing... (is that a person?) that had dropped out of the bottom of Vash's jacket, and then with Vash calling out Adela's name, Kakashi realizes that said little thing is actually Adela, and she's all of about three inches tall.

Now that's... quite strange.

He crouches down onto the ground, where Adela's more less by Vash's boot, and reaches a hand out, to give Adela a gentle poke.

Is this for real? ]
enchantressofore: Thanks to Tarot for the B/W bases! (I am not so great yet...)

[personal profile] enchantressofore 2014-04-01 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Ack. Quickly Adela tries to stumble away from the poke, completely red-faced when she finally does get to her feet.]

...

[But she couldn't bring herself to say anything. She briefly recognizes him as someone she's met before, but at the moment she doesn't say anything - unwilling to say anything.]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Not a single clue)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-04-01 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
[With no sound from Adela, Vash only has Kakashi's hand placement to figure out where the tiny girl is. He bundles up his coat and tries to squat down without moving his feet.]

Sorry about that, Adela. I guess you shouldn't move around too much in my collar. [The gunman offers his hand down, flat open, on the ground for her to step onto if she'd like a lift up onto his shoulder again.]

[personal profile] ura_no_ura 2014-04-03 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Kakashi straightens back up when Vash crouches down as he runs a hand through his hair, staring down at the tiny Adela. ]

I assume you weren't always this size, otherwise I imagine operating as a smithy would be pretty... challenging.

[ This must be the Malnosso's doing. ]
enchantressofore: Thanks to Tarot for the B/W bases! (It is nothing special.)

[personal profile] enchantressofore 2014-04-03 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
... You would be right. It is an after effect that I have had since the Malnosso have returned me to Luceti.

[She steps onto Vash's hand, seating herself in preparation for the ride back up. Damn she's sore from that tumble though, not to mention embarrassed that it happened... It doesn't seem like this man is going to make anything of it though.]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Teehee! I'm going to kill you!)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-04-04 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Vash rises carefully, trying to avoid jostling Adela as he offers her his shoulder again if she wants it.]

You have to admit, they do like trying to get creative now and then. At least it's given me a chance to spend more time with my neighbor!
enchantressofore: Thanks to Tarot for the B/W bases! (It is nothing special.)

[personal profile] enchantressofore 2014-04-06 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
I cannot find myself thankful in the least for being forced into a state where I cannot care for myself nor defend myself at all.

[No, not taking the shoulder just yet, she wants to make it clear that this is humiliating and she doesn't like it.]
ura_no_ura: (deadpan)

[personal profile] ura_no_ura 2014-04-09 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
I've heard of quite a lot of different experiments the Malnosso has performed on others, but being shrunken to your size is definitely not something I've heard about before.

[ Said after he straightens up, eyeing the tiny girl. This is definitely new, and he supposes he would be a little comical if not for the fact that life is probably extremely dangerous for Adela right about now. ]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (What do you mean I don't look innocent?)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-04-09 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Vash's free arm raises up an scratches at the back of his head.] Well, to be honest, a couple years ago a friend of mine ended up being shrunken down. [He smiles; remembering Nami fondly. Had it really been four years ago that she suggested she hide in the forest of his hair?] Hopefully you won't be like this too much longer Adela.
