Let's partyyyyyyy! [open]
Who: EVERYONE.
What: A meet-and-greet party for everybody in Anchor!
When: early October
Where: the VR room lobby
Warnings: none yet
Format: go wild!
[ The day before, a wild network post appears, from the username @aa : ]
hi everyone!
i just wanted to let you all know
the meet and greet party previously discussed in this space
will be held tomorrow afternoon!
it will take place in the vr room lobby
and of course everyone is invited
refreshments and games will be provided
but if you would like a little extra challenge
please feel free to bring something to share!
attendance is mandatory!
(lol just kidding)
seriously though i do hope to see all of you there ;)
[ 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.

Mm. Sorry.
[ She covers her mouth to yawn, then rubs her eyes and looks around the party. It's beginning to wind down - the raffle winner was announced a while ago, and some of the guests have left - but it's not definitively over just yet. ]
What time is it?
no subject
[Aren't you glad he woke you up to tell you this, Ami?]
Don't normal people sleep in beds?
no subject
[ Wait, is he calling her weird? ... Okay, yeah, he is. But is that even bad? Present Lalli thought "weird" was a good thing, didn't he? At the same time, a random little factoid has popped into her head in the way such things occasionally do, and it's funny in the moment, so she grins and blurts it out without really thinking. ]
Yeah, but normal trolls sleep in slime-filled cocoons! Hahaha.
no subject
Unfortunately, a troll calls to mind something entirely different for him.]
No they don't.
[The tone of his voice says clearly: are you okay. Like, in the head.]
no subject
Sure they do. You can't prove they don't. Have you ever met a troll? You don't know.
no subject
[They are having entirely different conversations. All at once, Lalli's tone turns icy.
He of course knows there are people sheltered enough not to have experienced tragedy personally, but usually they at least know someone else who has. He has never met anyone so insulated that they would make light of it.
It's clear this is something he really doesn't care for.]
And it isn't funny.
no subject
And it reminds her just how little she knows about him. ]
... Sorry. I, uh... I forgot they're a real thing where you're from.
no subject
Because of your friend.
[It isn't a question. He hadn't told her. There's still something he finds deeply unsettling about the idea, that he could be known by someone he's never met before. He doesn't even want to accept that it's the truth, but it's really the only thing that explains Ami's... everything.
So it must be real, and he doesn't want to think about what that means.]
no subject
Nonononono! That's not - Onni told me about it! The - the trolls and the Rash and the Old World and stuff.
[ And that really is the truth! She vaguely recalls Future Tuuri mentioning some gross photos she got from Retrospec, but Future Lalli never breathed a word to her about his past life, and she never asked him.
She lets her hands drop onto her knees. ]
I just forgot, because I am half asleep and a moron.
