Party Rocker in the house tonight

[arrowace]

WHO: The Youths, perhaps interlopers.
WHERE: Lilybell Kitchen Bunker
WHEN: day 26, evening

[ It’s not that that anyone is trying to hide from shepherds. If they were ,they certainly wouldn’t do it here. But it is a little more relaxed with no adults around. So the Lilybell Teen Squad has called their friends to do a Youth Hangout. There’s not really enough of anything for it to be a real party, per se, but enough of them still have their Doki Doki champagne to get a few people buzzed.

Perhaps others have brought snacks? Perhaps others have brought Activity? Who can say. ]

[ melody is setting out some generic snacks for people but after that she'll be wallflowering with a bit of champagne, smiling politely to anyone who approaches ]

[chasseurdebeaute]

Fufu, are you usually shy at parties, dear Melody? [HERE TO BOTHER]

[catnyap]

[Today he has no reason to be hiding or sneaking so he gives Melody a small wave.]

Are you having a nice time?

[chasseurdebeaute]

[Rubato has borrowed board and card games from the rec center in order to lure Aides out. Surely there will be an opponent here that is worth playing against?]

[hardpity]

[ cryptid-ly peeking from around the corner ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

Oh? Are you planning to play some games, Rubato-senpai? I would love to play with you if you are searching for opponents.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Leaning over to peek curiously ]

What games have you got?

[arrowace]

[ only appearing after they have watched enough rounds of Azule to be sure they have a decent grasp on the rules and strategy. They just sit down at the table with no comment and pick up a scoreboard. ]

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Ananke has provided a tray of sliced fruit (entirely peaches) and veggies from Lily's spot in the community garden, and has secured himself a spot at the table to sip at champagne ]

We should plan ahead for better party food next time.

[heavyliesthecrown]

I agree. The Hors D'oeuvres are not exactly party quality. But at least what we have is better than nothing.

. . . Although I confess I am not much of a chef.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ Crescendo is, for all intents and purposes, being something of a wallflower. It is not that he doesn't know almost everyone here. But he is also not sure how to engage with them in this sort of setting, despite having thought it might be fun.

What do people his age talk about? Or like to do...? When they have no other reason to gather than to hang out.

For some reason, he feels a little anxious and pops a couple of blueberries into his mouth. He wishes there was music or something that he could distract himself with.]

Having fun?

[catnyap]

[Akuki isn't at all surprised to find Crescendo hanging back like this. That won't stop him from giving him a few nudges.]

Mmn. It's not bad. But what about you?

[strateelgic]

[There is an eel?? At this party??

Things might have been rough recently, but Pond Fiend is pleased as punch to have been invited to this get-together. It's rare for him to be asked to come to a party on his own, especially one that hasn't been planned by Azul.

So he's brought food! There's chips made from dried apple, some not-quite-pork jerky, a few candied mint leaves, a covered basket of what appears to be dried and seasoned crickets (for those with that sort of taste...), and two (2!!) apple pies. In his opinion this isn't nearly enough for growing teens, but it's at least something of a contribution.

There's space to put all this, right?]

[hardpity]

[ like how he peered around the corner when rubato brought out board games

he peeks out around the corner to look at the candied mint leaves ... ]

[chasseurdebeaute]

[Thankfully now that they have a kitchen there's plenty of table and counter space.]

Oh! What merveilleux offerings, Pond-kun!

[spinebuddyandme]

Whoa, you really want all out, ese. Did you make all this on your own?

[arrowace]

[ OK they have been invisible but they drop out of it as subtlety as they can ]

Pond Fiend? You . . . are here.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ He hasn't had a chance to go through everything he brought, yet, but color him impressed. ]

Uwah~ You brought so much! ♪

[beathollow]

Everything smells wonderful, Pond Fiend.

[axingnicely]

Thank you very much for coming. [ a small bow! ] Would you like something to eat or drink?

[apothekitty]

[ AT SOME POINT, probably after the party has progressed some and people are starting to get tipsy, there is a knock at the barn door.

But when it is opened, there is no one, just a large jar with a note placed on top of it:

For the hangover

...for the record, the liquid inside smells very vegetal and will be pretty unpleasantly bitter to the taste, but it WILL help. (or maybe what helps is the amount of water one has to drink to get the taste out of one's mouth. who knows.) ]

[arrowace]

[ Mute spends the first hour of the part literally invisible and hiding under the table. It really only works for straight up vision so if you have other senses, they’re not that hard to find.

Later they can be found casually eating raw veggies and acting like they have been present the whole time. ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

Having fun?

[ It is easier sticking to people that he already knows better. He is also snacking- though on blueberries. ]

[beathollow]

( sonata check! by which i mean, she is here, taking a seat and mostly watching at first before she examines some of the games. ... she doesn't remember any of these...

if left to her own devices, she's also singing something softly. )

[chasseurdebeaute]

I'm afraid I'm not particularly familiar with the games i brought but if any catch your eye, we can learn it together!

[rugpull]

I brought lemonade and candied lemon peels sup.

[chasseurdebeaute]

I'm delighted you came!

[Welcome to Lilybell's kitchen. Will help place the lemonade and such among the growing collection of things to eat, though it's clear this is more a socializing event. There's tea and champagne, there's prosciutto and kale chips, there's everything Pond Fiend brought.]
