[ She's also posted handwritten signs to that effect in the mess hall and several of the staircases. Just in case! ]




The day of, a party appears in the VR Room lobby area, as promised!

Though it's not brightly lit, the lights there are are brightly colored, creating a chilled-out evening atmosphere like you'd find at a club. Plush chairs and couches are interspersed throughout the room, and there's been a solid attempt to clean the place up, or at least do something about all the dust.

A shortage of conventional party supplies has forced Ami and Cho to get creative, so the tables and parts of the wall are decorated with paper flowers, and the buffet table is presided over by a number of ... weird, pink, glitter-covered, vaguely animal-shaped sculptures made out of spare plastic pipes and stuff. With googly eyes. If nothing else they're a conversation piece.

FOOD: The main offering is barbecue! There's a pretty wide assortment of meats, all of which Cho has certified safe for human consumption, and also certified delicious. Chips, dried fruit, and a few different desserts are available, including homemade chocolate chip cookies that Ami made herself (wich Cho's help). All the trays are helpfully labeled, including allergy information.

Any and all potluck submissions are welcome as well! Just set it down over here and make a little card of your own.

DRINKS: Sadly, the coffee machine is still out of order. But there is a cooler stocked with ice and a few different choices of juice and soda. Alcoholic selections are limited to two types of pre-mixed drinks, which are intentionally weak on the alcohol, but at least they're not tequila sunrises. If guests want anything stronger, they'll need to bring it themselves.

ENTERTAINMENT: In fiddling with the controls, Ami got the overhead speakers to play some music, but couldn't figure out how to modify the playlist, so it's just one song on loop. Maybe if she keeps the volume kind of low, no one will notice. No live music is scheduled, but if anyone wants to bring a guitar and jam for a while, they will be more than welcome to.

And most of the arcade games are online! Anyone for Fruit Ninja? Air hockey? Dance Dance Retribution? Virtual Billiards? Or perhaps you'd like to try out a full-simulation game in the VR Rooms proper? Now's as good a time as any!

Oh, and don't forget to enter the raffle! The winner will be chosen randomly and announced a few hours into the party.

[Perhaps Peter's spider sense will pick up on being stared at. Because that's what's happening. A very measured and intense gaze leveled at the back of Peter's head. It will not be diverted for anything.

Peter is standing in between Lalli and the cookies, you see. Cookies are what Lalli came for and by god he will leave with plenty of them, because the rest of the party is only serving to make him miserable.

He's waiting, Peter. You gonna move or what.]
itsnotaonesie: (that sounds like some bullshit)

[Peter does indeed sense that something is a little weird, and turns around only to find some new guy staring at him. It's a biiiiiiiiit creepy, but that's fine. Whatev. Peter stares back for a couple seconds before moving to the side a few steps.]

You uh, you okay there, bud?

[Lalli's response is to... stare at Peter some more.

It's what he does.

Then he deliberately reaches around Peter to where the cookies are. You know, the cookies that he's blocking. It means definitely intruding on Peter's space, but, well, some things are more important.

Please excuse this very rude guy who apparently can't use his words.]
itsnotaonesie: (all about how)

[That is fine, Peter just lets this happen since his spider-sense isn't screaming at him about DANGER or anything. Suuure is weird though, bro. Just a little weird.]

Oh, you just-- you're just after the cookies, huh? That's fine, that's cool. Just uh, knock yourself out there, I guess.

[Thanks, Peter, he will. Not that he needed your permission!!

He's must still be aware that what he did is kind of rude, though, because even while he doesn't actually apologize, after he grabs a couple (or more) he curls in on himself in a self-conscious kind of way.]


What?

[They're not Peter's cookies, why does Lalli have to be nice at him about them.]
itsnotaonesie: (the fuck is THAT)

[personal profile] itsnotaonesie 2019-10-17 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[It was incredibly rude. Peter isn't actually all that offended by it, but he sure is going to turn this into a chat just because he's in the mood to be a little bit annoying now, but in a friendly getting-to-know-you sort of way.]

Nothing, nothing, you're good. Just don't think I've seen you around before, are you new here?

[Lalli just... shrugs at him, clearly a bit uncomfortable at the idea of suddenly being in a conversation.]

I guess.

[...Eloquent!]

I came here because everybody else was.

[Oh. Apparently he's talking about the party.]

[oh don't worry, Peter isn't even good at conversations.]

Well, I meant Anchor in general, but I get you. I didn't feel much like coming out here, but everyone else did so I figured I should at least pop in for a little while.
