[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!)

[Ever wanted to see what happens when a scrawny teenager eats like a bottomless pit?

No?

Well too bad. Because Haruka Kokonose is in your feast, eating your food.

Of course he was drawn in by the scents of amazing food, that's like his second favorite thing in the world. Carrying his sketchbook and supplies in a bag, the messy haired teen in all his thin 6' tall glory will be there with a plate absolutely piled with different kinds of food.

Surely no one child can eat that much, right?!]

[Having arrived but two days prior, Angelo was being to adjust being in this strange new land as new lands weren't something he wasn't accustom to seeing. However, a party? This is exactly what he needed. So strolling over, he surveys everything and looks about to see if there's any alcohol on top of food for him to eat. It doesn't look poison at least or so he thinks. And should there be a punch table, there might be shenanigans going on.]

[No party is complete without the token wallflower. Of course this wallflower looks more like a chia pet, but the mun digresses...

N had been dragged out by Hilda. His social skills and desire to be around others was getting better, but the bigger gatherings were still something he wasn't entirely comfortable with.

Eventually he found a quieter area to hang around in, a bit of a distance away from the table and the people mingling there, standing with his plate nibbling at whatever little things he had deigned decent enough to take. Zoroark stood silently at his side, the large black and red fox probably looking far more intimidating than he meant to.

Yup. Just going to... stand here and watch everyone like a creeper, and try not to draw attention to himself.

Best plan.]

[Roxas has been pretty okay physically for several days; the sickness took a lot out of him, but he never made it into as late a stage as some of the others. But emotionally... with his friends still missing and him only just now feeling strong enough to go look for them again, well. That was worse than being sick.

Spending some time around other people has had him feeling a bit better, though. It reminds him that he's not totally on his own. There are a lot of good people here, and every one that goes out on the Skyway has a chance of finding his friends, even if they aren't looking for them. That's something.

He's a far cry from energetic or social butterfly, but he's definitely not avoiding anyone either as he browses the food.]

[Didn't they already celebrate everyone not being dead? Zuko doesn't quite understand this drive for impromptu parties, but she's not complaining about Rin being back in the kitchen. Not that she could have done any better, but what they were eating with Rin out was... really bland.

She's after whatever seems spiciest. The barbeque meat--that smells good.]

[Colin, for his part, had been so deliciously busy that he could die right this moment and be moderately happy.]

[He'd had to build a large dragon-sized grill the other day for it to be ready for today. The construction on that had been easy, but time-consuming. Especially with so little warning, but Colin loved a challenge. And now, Paar would be able to cook his meat whenever he wanted.]

[Then he'd had to rearrange the sound system he'd set up at the old festival so that it would supply this feast with music. That had taken up a fair amount of time, though he'd had some help on that one... Thanks to that work, the feast was provided soft, upbeat faire music playing, the style shifting between several different cultures' musics with each song.]

[Then there had been the matter of helping Rin set everything up. She'd been working herself too hard, and though he wouldn't force her to stop, he WOULD prevent her from taking on more than he could chew by setting up everything he possibly could before she could get around to it. And of course, he'd recruited a little help for THAT too. Being on good terms with several of the pokemon had certain advantages.]

[Now? Colin's hanging back and eating a sandwich, running over checklists in his head to make sure everything's going according to plan. Not that he looks like he's working, though. To anyone's eye, he could simply be standing off near a speaker, watching everyone without a care in the world. Wanna come bother him?]

[ She'd come here with Haruka.

And now, she had somehow lost him.

He'd probably found something shiny and was going off to draw it, or maybe he'd found more food and was stuffing his black hole of a stomach with it. Whatever the reason, he was nowhere in sight now, and it worried Takane.

Not that she's showing that. No, instead, she's got her fists clenched at her sides, a downright irritated look on her face as she stomped through the crowds of people, trying to figure out where her dope of a friend had gotten off to. ]


Haruka! Haruka, where did you go?!

[ HE HAS TO BE HERE SOMEWHERE. ]

I'm gonna go back to the apartment without you if you don't show up soon!

[ SHE'LL DO IT. SHE WILL. SHE SO WILL-- oh, who is she kidding, she'd spend ten seconds walking back to the apartment in a huff before turning back and actually searching high and low for that dumbass and passing out in the middle of the party.

Do feel free to come across this spoilsport, though. Do feel free to bug the spoilsport. Please do. ]

[ She'd left most of the Pokemon back home, under the mindful watch of Lilligant and the other older Pokemon. Between all of them, they did a pretty good job of watching the babies, and even Zorua seemed excited to stay behind and play big sister for all of them. She was relieved that her Pokemon were happy to stay and watch the others.

After all, it had been a while since she and N had had any time to spend together.

Now that they were here, though, he wasn't exactly being sociable with most people. And that ... was disappointing, but to be expected. Just because he was going to be anti-social, though, that didn't mean she couldn't go out and see the party for all it was. Emboar had been borrowed for the sake of preparing some of the food, but as of right now her best bud was free to roam about however he pleased.

Naturally, he chose to roam around with his trainer. He carried his tiny trainer on his shoulder, careful not to burn her, and made his way around the party. Hilda was wide-eyed and excited at all of the activity around here, and it really warmed his heart (not that it needed any help) to see her so excited about a party he had a hand in helping to put on.

Emboar stopped, suddenly, as there was someone in their path (spoilers: it's YOU!). Hilda blinked a few times, confusedly, then looked down as well. She put on a smile and waved. ]


Hi! Are you having fun, too?

[Ryu probably shouldn't be out of the hospital anytime soon, but he wants to see his friends again. It's a little strange to see him now in mostly plain clothes. Without his usual outfit, he bears an even closer resemblance to the other Ryu, especially with his hair starting to get a little long.

He knows Colin may have a word or two for what he's doing, but he's trying to take it easy. Either sitting or moving about with a walking stick while he recovers balancing on just two legs.

SHING AND KOHAKU | OPEN TO ALL

[ 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 [[personal profile] oursomalink] and Kohaku WILL be present and talking to your character should you reply. THAT SAID, HAVE FUN WITH THEM ~ )

[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.]

[ Wow, does everyone just like to party here or what? Naegi distinctly remembers that other party with the alcohol and the things and the slightly awkward meeting with Patchouli-- I mean, what.

Either way, Naegi's being somewhat of a wallflower again, just off to the side and minding his own business while he sits and noms quietly on the feast offerings. He's up for talking if you want to speak to him, though! ]

[ So, where the fuck has this asshole been for the week or so?

Holed up in her apartment, doing her best to avoid everyone. That's what. She couldn't give a shit about everyone getting sick, but she's sure as hell not risking it. She's miserable enough without some crazy plague screwing with her and the last thing she needs is going on a team building adventure for a magic cure.

So, once the dust has settled and the smell of food finally coaxes her out of her room, Skyla actually decides to actually take a shot at this whole human interaction business.

Of course, that shot consists of her standing at the table where all the food is and stuffing her face while making no attempt to join the rest of the party.

Someone please come and interact with this goddamn child. ]

[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.]

[Why did no one introduce him to grandchildren who make him BBQ meat pits when he was in Skyrim? Why did no one introduce him to BBQ meat in all the centuries he's been alive?]

[Needless to say, Paar is very happy about this situation.]

[...Just don't get too disturbed by the sounds of meat being torn apart and bones being crunched on. He can't help himself. If all the BBQ sauce smeared all over his large snout is adorable or mildly terrifying, well, that's something you're going to have to work through.]

[Well, Ghaleon isn't exactly being a wallflower, but sitting at a table with a half-eaten plate of food and staring at nothing in particular in the way that people thinking deeply about something tend to. What might he be thinking about? The mysteries of the universe? What other useful contributions to the Bastion he might make? How best to find and train others to serve as medics in case of emergency? Nostalgic things? Some odd stream of consciousness that's focused on nothing in particular?

Really, if someone's curious enough to ponder it that much, they might as well just go up and ask about it. It's not like he's talking to anyone or anything along those lines, and what's the worst he might do? Be sarcastic at whoever bothers him?]

[what with one thing and another, it's been a while since Kaoru sketched… much of anything, really. He has his sketchbook open in front of him, but there is nothing drawn there.

Creative block is kind of new for him - he's not used to it at all. Maybe it's just an after-effect of his being sick? He alternates between tapping his pencil against his lip in search of inspiration, and flicking through his previous sketches.

Someone should distract him. Or bring him food. That works as well]
