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!)

[Ambitious is one word for it.]

I hope you're right.
wise_maiden: (by the hallways in this tiny room)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2014-04-03 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
As do I... but we can't know what will come of it until it is tried. So what's left is to observe or make suggestions, if the opportunity arises.

[A thoughtful hum.] Is there anything that might make it more agreeable for you? Setting aside those other concerns for now.
feistytrader: (okay then)

[personal profile] feistytrader 2014-04-03 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
...Time. [Probably time. Raine is right about one thing, at least; there's no way to tell what's going to come of it until they try.]

wise_maiden: (the sky is a hazy shade of winter)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2014-04-03 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.] Then we'll watch and see what comes of it.
feistytrader: (not sure how feel)

[personal profile] feistytrader 2014-04-03 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. That's the reason I came here in the first place.
wise_maiden: (should we try and stay)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2014-04-04 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed.

[But now that that's mostly out of the way...] Now... are you feeling fatigued at all? It doesn't look like your observing was entirely passive.
feistytrader: (hi your window was open I swear)

[personal profile] feistytrader 2014-04-04 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[...Oh. Uh. ...That's showing all over his face, isn't it.]

A little. I'll be okay. [Raine doesn't have to worry about that. He'll be fine in a few days. Yeah...]
wise_maiden: (and the fire fades away)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2014-04-04 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
You have indulged some of my questions, so the least I can do is give you a refreshing spell. [Honestly Silver. There's still that little rescuing thing that she needs to pay you back for as well anyway.] Otherwise you'll be sore for days, and still going back to training on top of it, I'm sure.
feistytrader: (sticker stars)

[personal profile] feistytrader 2014-04-04 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[...Well, she's not wrong. He's definitely going to go back to training no matter what.] Okay. [He's bruised as a Nanab berry, so. Sure.]
wise_maiden: [ pureoptimism @ lj ] (you're up all night thinking it's over)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2014-04-04 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Just hold still a moment.

[And she'll lift up her hand, so that a soft green glow falls over him.]
feistytrader: (huh what)

[personal profile] feistytrader 2014-04-04 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[A soft green glow...

-Hey, he feels perfectly fine now. He pushes his sleeves up to double check- his arms- all the places that felt bruised are definitely healed right up.

That's... That's amazing...]
wise_maiden: (should we try and stay)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2014-04-04 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[She lets her hand down once he begins to check himself over. Good. It looks like that must have gone well. But to be sure, she'll ask:]

How are you feeling now?
feistytrader: (sticker stars)

[personal profile] feistytrader 2014-04-04 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
[...He takes a moment to stretch out his arms, move his ankles around... No matter where he looks for some lingering pain, it's the same answer.]

Great. [Better than he expected.]
wise_maiden: (by the lives that wove the web)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2014-04-04 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Good. ... You're welcome to keep that in mind, you know. Our paths don't cross too often anymore, but I don't mind using my healing artes if it can help.
feistytrader: (say what now)

[personal profile] feistytrader 2014-04-09 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't mind using her healing. ...Okay. That's...

He bows his head down briefly- he'll try not to burden her with anything too minor, but it's good to know in case of an emergency.]


Thank you.
wise_maiden: (should we try and stay)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2014-04-11 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It's no trouble. Now, I should let you get back on your way.
