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 takes the plate from Itachi with a smile. Who knew that ninja were nicer than pirates! Lousy, cheating pirates.]

You sure it's not bread? [Vash turns it over once or twice in his hands trying to make up his own mind. He'd really rather not get sick in front of all these people.] One way to find out I guess! [Down the hatch it goes. If Law is mistaken he'll just throw up all over the man for it.]
yourhatred: (know what you don't)

[personal profile] yourhatred 2014-04-13 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Itachi has no aversion to bread, but he appreciates alternatives all the same.

He also eats way too politely for occasions like this.]
Enjoy.

[No bread, or Law would be feeling it too. Eventually.]

Yes.

[Ah, but you're facing finely honed doctor instincts. The instant any upchucking happens, if it happens, Law'll will be darting clear.]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Very pleased!)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-04-15 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, as long as there is no bread then there is no need to test this theory of who is quicker. The pirate or the outlaw.] Mmmhmmm! It's super tasty! [Vash gobbles it right down.] Ah! If it's one thing Luceti is good at is finding new and tasty foods to try! [Vash reaches over to a new dish, it's something wrapped in bacon. He's not exactly sure what, but it has bacon on it so he's sure he'll love it!]
yourhatred: (hrm)

[personal profile] yourhatred 2014-04-15 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Just smelling that bacon dish makes Itachi's stomach churn, so he's actually glad for the moment that he doesn't have to look at it.]

Aa. So they are.

Perhaps that's one of the reasons they bring in good cooks.
deathsdoctor: (Neutral | You sure?)

[personal profile] deathsdoctor 2014-04-15 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ooooo bacon wrapped scallops.]

... to expand everyone's culinary horizons? That's a good a reason as any.

[Because who knew with the Malnosso.]
goldenglasses: (Nummy in the tummy!)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-04-16 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
I'd be happy with that reason. [Don't worry Itachi. Vash will pop those bacon wrapped items in his mouth and try to get rid of the smell for you at a rapid pace.] Minus the experiment parts at least.
yourhatred: (thoughtfulness)

[personal profile] yourhatred 2014-04-17 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. Always minus the experiments, of course.

[And he doubts their cooking ability actually has anything to do with it, but they might as well make things light-hearted.]
deathsdoctor: (Pleasant | Peaceful)

[personal profile] deathsdoctor 2014-04-17 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Hope either of you weren't after sushi, because that's rapidly disappearing.]

Yeah. I'd be satisfied with it if it was experiment free.

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-04-17 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Vash is starting on the sushi just now in fact. So, stay away from this piece he's reaching for Law.]

Mmhmm! I think I would be too. This place isn't so bad after that.
yourhatred: (knowing all)

[personal profile] yourhatred 2014-04-18 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[He should have brought some kunai to throw between the two of them if need be.]

... Agreed.

[If there weren't those stuck here that needed to be elsewhere.]
deathsdoctor: (Neutral | hn think what you want)

[personal profile] deathsdoctor 2014-04-19 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Why do you need kunai when there's an ample supply of chopsticks, knives, forks, and spoons about?

There's an entire arsenal on the table for your threatening needs, partner. Not that Law will bat an eyelash at having a fork thrown at him. Vash? Maybe a different story.]


Maybe one day.

So what do you think of all this, Vash?

[The question of the night appears. Thankfully Law's grabbed some yakitori. There is no danger of a collision of hungry stomachs in the pursuit of sushi goodness.

This tag.]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (DONUT!)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-04-19 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's a pretty successful get together if you ask me!

[Said between a mouthful of sushi. As this is clearly what Law was asking about and not about the idea of Luceti Projects in general.]
yourhatred: (sigh)

[personal profile] yourhatred 2014-04-19 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Relatively successful, yes.

[Just amused by the two of you.]
deathsdoctor: (Neutral + Wary | side glance)

[personal profile] deathsdoctor 2014-04-30 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I guess so.

[The mood here at the party is very wierd, so...]

It's certainly interesting.

goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Ideas forming! And that is never good!)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-04-30 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Interesting, huh? You think so? I hope it's at least a good interesting.

[Vash pours himself a glass of punch with a sly smile. Playing the idiot has always been his strong suit. So while he won't strike at the heart of what Law may be asking at the moment he will shoot the man the briefest of eyebrow raises. The smallest offer for Law to say more, but not yet ready to say his own thoughts and feelings.]
yourhatred: (look down upon you)

[personal profile] yourhatred 2014-05-01 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Interesting" is a broad term.

[But he has some idea of what Law means as he gravitates toward some carrots and dip.]
deathsdoctor: (Neutral | Distant)

[personal profile] deathsdoctor 2014-05-02 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

It's... interesting interesting. Broad, yeah, but I dunno if I want to call it more than that yet.

[We are all fishermen tonight, the pirate muses at that eyebrow raise. He'll search around for a beer, because booze - he wants some.

Okay, he'll bait a few hooks.]


The mood's a little strange here. I've been noticing it since I arrived.
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (But Sanji; what do you mean I can't top?)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-05-02 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? You think so? Strange how?
yourhatred: (bitch please)

[personal profile] yourhatred 2014-05-03 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
The concept of a project of this nature isn't new, but it's been some time since it was organized on so large of a scale.

[He returns with a small plate of veggies and dip, which somehow doesn't detract from the seriousness of his demeanor.]

People have their own concerns.
