[ 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.

[See, this was all hella cute until Peter went and did that weird spider hop thing. As far as Kieran is concerned, one moment he's talking to his buddy about a cute girl and the next he's doing his weird Ceiling Boy shtick and that is jarring as fuck.]

[As such, Kieran yelps the moment Peter sticks himself to the wall, clutching at his chest and everything as he recovers.]


God!!! Y-Yer gonna give a feller a heart attack one of these days, Peter!!!

[Ooooooh yeah right not everybody is used to Peter's weird spider shit. He looks super apologetic as he drops down from the wall and makes his way back to Kieran.]

S-sorry, sorry about that. I just- I wasn't thinking.
sleepyhollowed: (better listener than speaker tbh)

[Kieran waves it off. Now he kind of feels bad, too!!!]

It's fine, honest!

Just, uh, w-warn me next time I guess? 'Til I get used to it, in any case.
itsnotaonesie: (all about how)

[personal profile] itsnotaonesie 2019-10-19 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nooo don't feel bad! It's a party were supposed to be having a good time!!! God they're bad at parties.]

Yeah, yeah, I'll try to remember to do that. Y'know, maybe I should just like, give some kinda demonstration of my powers some time so I don't keep freaking people out with them?
sleepyhollowed: (oh LAAAWWWWD have mercy)

Ooooh, yeah! She's super great. Um, well, if we run into her, I'll totally introduce you. For now, I think I'm gonna get my snack on, I'm actually super hungry right now.

[Peter gives Kieran, a friendly (and very careful!!!) whack on the shoulder and moseys on over to the food tables. He will eat all of the food.]
