[Day 212] Well it woulda been coulda been worse than you would ever know... [OPEN]

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!)

[Who eats lots of food? AZ eats lots of food. His Pokemon do, too. AZ has a few plates with him, and is sitting down so he can properly eat them. Golurk is... actually the only one in this group not eating, because he doesn't need to. He's wandering around the edges, making sure nothing is going to attack.]

[Floette is perched on Torkoal's back, eating some vegetables, and Torkoal is eating some meat. Sigilyph is eating some berries nearby, and Eevee...]

[Well, Eevee is scampering around and trying to meet new people, but she might run into people or trip them instead. Whoops.]

[Colin's actually mingling with as many people and Pokemon as he can, especially given how many wallflowers the Bastion seems to have grabbed. He also likes AZ, and given that the old guy's recovered from the plague, he wants to check and see how he's doing.]

Your appetite's back, eh?

[He gives Floette, Torkoal, and Sigilyph warm smiles then.]

You three, I'll be making some berry smoothies a little later for all the Pokemon. You're all welcome to one. Or more. As is Golurk, if he can enjoy them.

[He's seen robots that can eat and ENJOY food before, so he's not about to make any assumptions that might exclude someone.]

[He nods at that, and looks amused at the last bit.]

Golurk doesn't eat. It keeps going on strange energy that no one in my world's been able to pinpoint yet.

Ah well, I'll have to get some wax and give him a good buffing, then. It seems a shame to leave him out of the celebration.

[Colin grins.]

Everyone else seems to be having a good time, though.

I think a little peace and quiet is all Golurk really wants, honestly.

[He nods at the latter statement, though.]

They are. Eevee is... somewhere. Watch your step.

Is that right?

[Colin looks off in the direction he last saw Golurk.]

Boy, did he ever get on the good side of the wrong elf, then...

[He smirks at AZ again, and he looks around curiously.]

That's right, I forgot about Eevee. Normally she's hiding in your pocket, isn't she?

She likes to take naps in there. I don't blame her, I'd do the same if I were her size. But she's getting a little too restless to stay in there. Most Pokemon grow up pretty fast, but she's still got a lot of energy.

She's young, and she's learning everything. It's natural for her.

Let her hang around Zorua and the other youngsters, and they'll figure enough out, and tire themselves out in the process.

I was actually thinking of building a playground and exercise course for the daycare. With so many youngsters, they could probably really use it...

Probably. She already likes climbing me. I can help you, if you'd like.

I would definitely appreciate that. Plus, your expertise would be very helpful to make sure things get built that suit everyone. I can make an agility course for most of the bitties, but... for example? I doubt Torkoal would get much use out of that, and I don't want to leave anyone out of this.

[He gives Torkoal a smile.]

Torkoal doesn't really need an obstacle course.

[Torkoal looks up and smiles at Colin.]

Exactly my point. I want to make him something he does need, something he'd enjoy and would help him exercise in a way that fits him.

Likewise, I doubt that Floette would get much use out of something built big enough for the others. Micro-construction is easy for me, but I don't know what she would like to be happy with.

I don't think most of mine need that much. We've dealt with just walking and battling for years.

[Edea eats a lot of food too, although her plate is skewed in favor of anything that's sweet. After another day spent on the Skyway looking for her friends (and failing to find any hint of them) it's nice to drown her disappointed feelings with desserts.]

[As she makes her way to an empty chair she feels something bump against her boot, prompting her to glance down. The girl had heard of the strange creatures others in the Bastion kept but this was her first time seeing one up close. Edea can only assume its owner is close by.]

Oh, and who do we have here? [It's said affectionately as she crouches down to get a better look, careful not to put her plate in the Pokemon's path.]

[Eevee looks up at her and smiles.]

Vrii! Eevriii!

[She reaches up her front paws to try to get at her legs or her knees or something in that area.]

[It's a good thing she decided against wearing her leg armor today or things would be harder for the little thing. As it is she's cautious of the (admittedly cute) animal getting closer to her, but it seams harmless enough. The girl offers her free hand for Eevee to sniff.]

You must be one of those Pokemon I've heard about.

[She nuzzles into Edea's hand. Hello new friend!]

Vrii vrii!

[Oh, well that works too she supposes. This little one is surprisingly friendly but she's entirely grateful for it. Edea gives Eevee a few pets and scratches behind the ear before she needs to stand up again to spare her legs from becoming sore.]

Your master isn't too far away, I take it?

[She tilts her head and then nods, turning to face the direction AZ is in. But she's having fun with this person! She looks back at Edea and rocks her head and her tail.]

[She looks in the direction Eevee does, even though it's not much use given how many people are around. There's a good chance she'll end up meeting them at some other point anyways.]

So long as you're not getting into too much mischief. Although I bet someone as cute as you could get into a lot of it and get away with it.

[She grins wider and tilts her head to the side.]

Will you be joining me for dessert or is this where we say goodbye?

[She bounces, yipping a little. She wants to play more!]

[As adorable as you are, almost nothing can completely distract Edea from a plate full of food. Especially sweets. Well, that and the fact she has no idea what Eevee's body language means. So once again she is headed for an empty chair, half expecting that she's going to be followed.]

[You might be able to convince her to play once she's full. But that might take a while.]

[That's okay. Eevee follows her and flops down in front of her chair, curling up. Look, look! She can be good!]

[She chuckles and pops half a cookie into her mouth before reaching down to pet the Pokemon a few more times.]

You'll be waiting a while, if that's what you're up to. Whoever did the cooking is absolutely marvelous and I intend to enjoy every bite of it!

[That's okay with her! She rolls over and closes her eyes. She can try to nap while she waits.]
