[hellpyre]

Who: Everyone!
Open: Open
When: Day 212, evening
Where: in front of the Distillery
What: No one died during the horrible plague scare! That's reason enough for a feast and a mingle log right?
Format: Any!
Warnings: Shouldn't be any but will adjust if needed

[Someone has been busy today. The kitchen and Distillery has been noisy and bustling, a departure from the much more quiet days when the illness was spreading through the Bastion and survival was once more on the uncertain scale of things. Somewhere around the time that the night cycle begins, when the sky is more of an orange-ish glow fading in to blue and purple, a large spread of food has been set up near the Distillery with glass lanterns hanging overhead.

Just like any other time there has been a feast be it random or planned, there is a wide selection of food on the covered, decorated tables. There's even meat this time! And yes, Aoi, your doughnuts have been transferred from your trees to a platter on the table. There's even a section for Paar, complete with massive amounts of bbq'd mammoth meat! You can thank Colin for that.

There's really no announcement for the feast, but chances are if you're outside at any point today you'll see the progress towards the set up, or smell the delicious scents wafting over the Bastion. (There might even be music playing, if Colin finds a way to provide it!)

Either way, come dusk food will be ready and mingling will be had!]

(ooc: Standard mingle log right here. Throw your threads up, poke other people's threads, and eat all the food!)

[ Anna knows better. She found a tsundere. ]

We could look around where everyone is sitting and eating?

[dragonform]

It's not the injuries that slow me down. It's having to walk without a tail that's throwing me off.

[But he does welcome Hilda helping him with a smile. She's a good kid in his eyes.]

SHING AND KOHAKU | OPEN TO ALL

[spiria]

[ Despite the chaos of the past however long (Kohaku hadn't exactly been keeping track), it was really nice to see something good like this happening in the Bastion. Even better, something really wonderful had happened to Kohaku in the past couple of days: Shing was here. He was here, and he was alive, and she was able to be with him again. Even when she had given up all hope of him being alive, he had found some way to beat the odds once more.

She couldn't have been happier.

Well, maybe she could have. But right now, she was the happiest she had ever remembered being.

Since he had arrived, she and Shing had been practically attached at the hip. She'd been explaining everything to him (which ... wasn't all good news, obviously, but at least they could deal with it together now), and showing him around, and now they were here at the party together.

She held his hand in hers tightly, leading him through the crowds excitedly.

She might be a little too excited. Did she bump into you? Did she make him bump into you? Are they being too lovey-dovey in your personal space?

Whatever it is, you've got the derp couple to deal with now. ]



( ooc: HELLO FRIENDS, if you comment to this, you get two for the price of one! Kohaku and Shing are going to be that annoying couple who hold each other's hands all the time and finish each other's sentences and both Shing [oursomalink] and Kohaku WILL be present and talking to your character should you reply. THAT SAID, HAVE FUN WITH THEM ~ )

[oursomalink]

[ Needless to say, while he was still trying to adjust to being in the Bastion - especially after finding out the nature of this place - Shing had more or less had somewhat of a rough time of things, though he was thankful that Kohaku was here to make the transition easier.

Neither of them had left the other's side for long - as it had been back home. All the more so since they were the only ones the other had now, but... it was still more preferable than either of them being left alone.

Especially since Kohaku had been the first to arrive here - Shing felt badly that she'd gone through so much without him, but. That was in the past, now, and he'd definitely make it up to her.

So now here they were at the party, more or less just being a completely shameless derp couple at everything and everyone. Yep. Just like home again. ]

Wow... is this Bastion place always this crowded?

[ So many people from so many different worlds here! It's kind of impressive, in a way... ]

[dragonform]

[Rin might be awoken by the sound of a walking stick lightly tapping against the wooden floor. If not by that, then by the feeling of a blanket being pulled over her sleeping form. After all, no reason to leave the poor girl without something if she needed some sleep. Ryu is content to let her sleep while he fetches some food that would be light on his stomach. He was under explicit instructions to do so until his body recovered to having more food.

Though that wasn't gonna stop him from trying to see his friends.]

You guys have been through an awful lot, haven't you?

[hellpyre]

[Maybe your ninja skills are getting good, Kaoru.

Or maybe Rinchan is just tired enough to let this happen for the time being.

Tepig, who was resting at her feet after being "helpful" along with big daddy Emboar and Zoroark and everyone else that was setting things up, woke from his own nap and tilted his head back to look curiously at Kaoru.]

Pig?

[bedheadstyle]

[Not happening, Takane.]

But this food is so good! You have to try some!

[He'll even offer his piled up plate to her. Yes, he's willing to share. But only with her.]

[dragonform]

[Ryu has this habit of trying to make friends with all sorts of people, even those who try to kill him. Sorry N, you're his latest victim. He's moving a little slow with the walking stick and his awkward balance, but that's not gonna stop him from trying. He doesn't appear particularly intimidated by Zoroark.

Ryu himself still looks a bit worse for the wear for his travels, but he isn't gonna let it slow him down!]

Find anything tasty? I can't eat too much just yet.

[individuates]

[pulls a big smiley face at Tepig. Hi, pig~! Just shush for a second, okay…? Let him comb out Mama's hair for her…]

<3

[unwrittenformula]

[It's not a lot of food. And there's a distinct lack of meat on his plate in spite of there being a big selection of it offered on the tables.]

... there's a lot of people out.

[Thank you for stating the obvious, N.]

[beauchevalier]

[He's not so much offended, but baffled. You'd think he'd remember all of this, but he can't. Even if for some reason he does have a sense of familiarity being around this woman and can't shake as to why.]

You'd think I'd remember that myself, but I seriously have no recollection of what you're talking about. So either you're insane or I was so drunk that I remember none of this.

[beauchevalier]

[His eyes are admiring her body up and down, but unfortunately even he can see there's not much there. He does notice the tail under her skit too, what an odd woman.]

There isn't an alcohol I can't handle, darling. So lay it on me and perhaps we could get to know one another better in the process.

[beauchevalier]

[After finally finding the punch table, his eyes adjust to the young lady staring at him. Was she in awe of his handsome features? Well, it's like him not to say hello so he walks over to her.]

Hello darling, I couldn't help but notice you staring at me. Would you care to join me for a drink?

[hellpyre]

[The blanket around her does rouse her a little, but she doesn't fully wake until Ryu has his food. She sits up with a toothy yawn, tugging the blanket closer around her shoulders.]

Mhmn... when did you get back?

[unwrittenformula]

[Well N won't be trying to kill anyone. That's just not his thing. Plus he's honestly kind of a weakling anyway.

The greeting gets him to look up from his plate.]

... a few things. Too much meat for my liking.

[hellpyre]

[Nope. Busted, Kaoru. There's a sleepy mumble from Rin then, her eyes still closed.]

What're you doin'?

Piiiig!

[Well at least Tepig is amused.]

[dontyoujustwish]

You didn't taste like alcohol at the time.

You really don't remember? My hair was more blonde then.

[individuates]

Your hair.

[still combing through. Is your hair alive, Rin-chan? How does it get tangled so quickly…?]

You wouldn't rob me of the chance to play with your hair, would you?

[hellpyre]

[Wow, excuse you.

And she's really not much of a woman yet, all things considered.]

If you wanna take up the crazy crap Georges has made, be my guest. I'll pass.

[hellpyre]

[It's called work.]

Mnn... no. Just don't do anythin' crazy with it, okay?

[You're lucky she's still half asleep.]

Open!

[doctor_dragoon]

[Yukio wasn't really the social type. Sure, he could get along with other people just fine, but he's never been a party guy. There was never time for it back home, and now... He's relieved that the plague scare has passed and everyone is back on their feet for the most part, but the situation hasn't exactly put him in the mood to celebrate.

In the end, it's mostly Oshawott's fuss over the food and decorations that gets Yukio up and investigating, the little otter perched on the boy's shoulders with his paws buried in dark hair. The festivities have put him in quite the excitable mood, but he's careful not to pull on his trainer's hair. Hair-yanking is a sure way to be deprived of his shoulder privileges.

The pair can be seen approaching the edges of the gathering around nightfall, Oshawott jabbering excitably into Yukio's ear about, well... whatever it is he's excited about. Yuki can hazard pretty good guesses based on where Oshawott's pointing at the time, but the lack of true understanding on his part doesn't seem to bother the Pokemon much.

Not long after will find Yukio adjusting to the atmosphere, settling comfortably somewhere out of the way with a plate of food in his lap. Oshawott comes and goes, wandering off to play with the other Pokemon and returning now and then to steal food off of his trainer's plate while Yukio pretends not to see.]

[individuates]

Me? Crazy? [gently gathering it all up into a ponytail and pulling some pieces out to hang in the front before sectioning it apart at the crown to braid]

…you ran around too much, huh? It's great that you got all this ready, but you shouldn't exhaust yourself...

[dragonform]

Yesterday. Ryu found me and brought me back to the hospital. I'll heal pretty quickly, but I need to take care in what I eat.

[freedom_engineer]

You're going to spoil him, you know.

[Whoops, there's Colin, standing behind Yukio while watching Oshawott steal another piece of food.]

[freedom_engineer]

[Colin grabs a spot of floor near N after a little bit, and he grins up at N and Zoroark warmly]

Hey N. Parties not really your thing, huh?
