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!)

[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!

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.]

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. ]

[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.
enchantressofore: Thanks to Tarot for the B/W bases! (I must try harder to become more.)

It was the first time I was taken, so I cannot say if it is common or not. I should hope that it ends soon... I tire of being unable to care for myself as I once did. [Which would be laughable if it didn't happen to include even basic things like getting food and finding safe shelter. Unfortunately, it does...

So yes, life has been extremely dangerous for her while she's been in this state, something that - for the moment - she's leaving unsaid.]
ura_no_ura: (a little worried)

[personal profile] ura_no_ura 2014-05-03 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
I imagine it can't be very easy, being in your state.

[ From what Kakashi approximates, she's about three inches tall, which makes going about attempting to live her life very dangerous. ]

How long have you been like this?

[Vash stays quiet. As the question wasn't directed at him. He stays still so Adela can have an easier time standing on him.]

Since the seventeenth of the month - about a fortnight now.

[Not. Fun. And very dangerous. Not to mention she can't work... Or train... So no she hasn't been happy.]
