We're Gonna Party Rock Till The Day Comes Up!

Characters: EVERYONE
Setting: Floor 38
Format: Whatever you feel comfortable with. Prose, action, it's all good.
Summary: The giant party is finally here! Mingle, Blind date and strange things ahoy!
Warnings: WHO KNOWS WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

Floor Thirty-Eight. Normally just a simple lounge, it was now Party Central.

It was clear Eikichi had put all of his heart into it. Say what you wanted about him, but he was a good manager and organizer. The place didn't look the same, with the flower bouquets strewing in odd corners, the bright pieces of tissues hung around like garlands. They had no balloons so they made with. A few banners hung into the air, the words crudely painted with Maya's name and wishing her a happy birthday. There was also a few others with the names of the birthdays Eikichi had managed to get.

At the entrance, there was a a few large baskets filled with corsages that Jun had prepared - acacias white (friendship and chaste love), yellow (secret love) and pink (friendship), white violets (Purity; Candor; Modesty; Innocence; Let's take a chance on happiness) and pink roses (Perfect happiness, please believe me; Friendship) expertly woven pieces of stems and grass meant it required no other materials than the flower themselves.

Of course, the meanings were not written. You just had a few to chose from. Then you could offer one to your date to wear on their hand...if you wished.

As Eikichi had said, no pressure.

...Except for coming, of course.

Those that were part of the blind dates had each been given a small piece of paper with a symbol.As they entered they could see a small sign instructing to try and find the other person with the same symbol. This would be their 'date' of the night.

On the farthest left to the entrance, they had dragged in a gigantic music system, with an area for a DJ to run (Tatsuya had helped with the wiring). Some large pieces of metals had been lined up to cover the floor, making a fake stage and on top of that, he had placed various instruments - along with those of his band, of course. The stage would be open for them to play later, regardless.

The main area reserved for food was a few tables that had been dragged in here, covered with whatever tissues they had found and filled with all the food they could take - some of it was typical stuff found in the cafeteria this week (but no gross stuff - Eikichi didn't want living maggots in his cheese today), the rest had been made by those nice enough to help with the cooking. There wasn't that much typical 'party food' as creating your own sweets and chips does take a while, but the jerky meats, the hot soups and the vegetables more than made up for it. The drinks were placed right besides it and who knew how many trips they had needed to set it all up.

There were also cakes on the next table, enough to feed at least everyone in the part a generous slice. Considering the ingredients and the people involved they ranged from the very simple to baked pies using the available fruits, and a single cake which appeared to have more work than the others. They did with what they had, and it was fantastic they had so much at all.

All the chairs and bags found in that room normally were tossed in a corner facing the central area so that people could sit down if they felt like it, but the central area was reserved to talk, mingle and dance once everything REALLY got underway.

It would soon too, once the crowds started to get bigger and bigger.

[OOC - Hello and welcome to the party log! Let's mingle and have fun because the tower doesn't let us have much of it. You can start a brand new thread when you are blind dating and mark them (EIKICHI AND MIYABI ), or if you want to do something like "JADE DJs A FEW SONGS FOR YOU" and people can reply to that. You can make multiple threads to a reply to, so if someone wants to talk to Eikichi, then someone else does later. Just make sure any closed threads are marked with [CLOSED] so other people know they can't pop in! Otherwise...it's free game.

[Excited though she was, Yuko couldn't shake a sense of foreboding that came with having to look for someone labeled with a biohazard symbol. Still, they'd set things up pretty nicely, especially for what they had to work with. She almost felt bad for not necessarily going all out the way everyone else had, since she just as easily as anyone could have contributed.

Well, always next time for that.

She'd gone for a sort of dress-casual look for the event, with Kanji's help, of course, customizing an underused blouse with some spare materials into something a little more date-worthy. Hopefully, it wouldn't go to waste.

As she looked out for her match, she held up the sheet of paper with her own warning label on it, in case he, or less likely, she, spotted her first.]

[Rod was a little late to the party, but not as late as he generally was to everything else, so he was going to count this one as a win. He was only late because he'd taken the time to make himself presentable, anyway. Now, freshly showered and wearing his Turk suit and tie -- which was tied neatly and correctly for once -- he felt ready to meet his mystery date. He might even have been a little excited, but he was way too cool to admit that.

Pausing at the table full of corsages, Rod balked for a moment at the number of choices. In the end, he picked up one of the pink roses -- girls liked roses, right? -- figuring that a rose was a his safest bet.

Then, turning from the table, he dug in his pocket for the little piece of paper with his symbol on it, holding it up so that his blind date might see it while looking around the room for his match.]

[Rod stood out right away to Yuko; it wasn't a whole lot of people who went all out with a suit and tie, and only one of those she found particularly attractive. She actually only realized after she'd started approaching to say hello that he was her date on top of all that. As she pulled within speaking distance, she smiled, showing off her matching symbol to him.]

So, I guess this means I'm here to see you, then!

[He turned at the sound of Yuko's voice, eyes widening briefly as his eyes moved between her and the symbol she held. It was the same symbol he had. Wait, so that meant...]

Woah, score!

[Wow, okay, he hadn't meant to say that out loud and he definitely hadn't meant for his voice to sound so squeaky. Shooting Yuko a grin, Rod cleared his throat and tried again.] Uh, sorry, I mean, I guess I didn't expect for you to be so pretty. [Wait, no, that wasn't--] Not that I expected you to be ugly! I just...

[Yeah, okay, he was stuttering like an idiot right now. Way to go, Rodney. Real smooth. With a shake of his head, he held out a hand, hoping to salvage this situation before his date decided to make a break for it.] What I'm tryin' to say is that you look really nice. The name's Rodney -- Diego Rodney. You can call me 'Rod,' or... whatever you want, really.

[He could have done a lot worse with that intro. If anything, it managed to endear him a little; so far he was reminding her of the last guy she dated, and that had gone pretty well. She giggles a bit, then offers a handshake.]

Yuko Narukami. It's a pleasure to meet you, Rod.

[Of course, she notices the rose fairly quickly, and as such, calls attention to it. Girl knows a thing or two about... well, a lot of things, really, but that does indeed include flowers.]

Friendship, huh? Good choice.
rookiemyass: (surprised)

[personal profile] rookiemyass 2012-07-17 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rod looks confused for a second before following Yuko's gaze to the rose.] Oh, this? Is that what it means?

[He scratches his head, looking at the rose with an expression that verges on disappointment. He'd been going for a romantic gesture, but how was he supposed to know that different flowers had different meanings? Hell, he was lucky that he could even identify which one was a rose.]

I just thought it was, y'know, pretty. [With a shrug and a grin, he holds the corsage out to Yuko, presenting it to her with a lopsided grin and a little bow.] Anyway, I got it for you!
sukeban: ([amused 1])

wow I suck at on time

[personal profile] sukeban 2012-07-20 11:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that works, too. I figured as much, anyway.

[She receives it with a smile, and the very faintest hint of a blush, one of the blink-and-you'll-miss-it variety and pins it to the right side of her shrug.] I'll give you that, too, it definitely is.

So, where to first? I get the feeling I can trust your judgement on this.
