Party time, party time

[roundandaround]

WHO: Rinku, Mary, any friends of either/both
WHAT: Housewarming mingle!
WHEN: October 5
WHERE: Fine Arts House (Solarpeak)
WARNINGS: Keep it clean, there are kids here.

All those months of work are paying off, and Rinku and Mary have moved to Solarpeak! Their new house, a beach-stilt-style house in walking distance from the Summer Guild building, is bright inside and out, and today there are balloons and games set up underneath the house and a wide-open door up the stairs leading into it.

Anyone who knows Rinku and/or Mary will have been invited to party; housewarming gifts are accepted but not required, and food is provided, ordered in from nearby restaurants. The bedrooms are closed but everywhere else is open, and if you need to get away from the party, you can go sit outside... or if Mecchan isn't scared of you, he might let you chill in his room for a while. Otherwise, have fun with the games, the art room, the music room, the food, and anything else!


(This is a mingle, so go ahead and tag each other on any and all toplevels! Have fun!)

PRESENT TABLE

[roundandaround]

[Use this thread to drop off housewarming gifts if you have them!]

[attempted_purity]

[An array of chocolates, as well as some scented candles. She wasn't sure what to bring, so she went with something tasty and something inviting.]

[snekeyes]

[Rider'll be bringing a few handmade mugs! She's pretty new to pottery so they certainly have that slightly wonky homemade look, but they'll do their job of holding hot and cold drinks just fine.]

Re: PRESENT TABLE

[noodleboi]

[MK brings a set of new glasses. Orange and purple ones. He hopes they're liked. Everyone needs new glasses, right?]

Re: PRESENT TABLE

[melodymania]

[Max brings a housewarming gift everyone needs. It is a big plush of an adorable black and white doggo. What he's done though is enchanted it. Anyone tries to break in here? They're gonna find this stuffed cutie turning into a monster with teeth and burning saliva. Try messing with this ball of sunshine, assholes.]

Re: PRESENT TABLE

[shatteredprison]

[A house warming gift. Of course Shadow did research and decided to bring a potted plant. This one is specifically some lavender he found at a local florist's shop. He sets it on the table with a little bow tied around the vase.]

[Paulo took some time to find the gift he wanted to give. A new house needs some stuff but getting too much of the obvious would be a hassle. Then he found something cool. He got two metal water bottles at one of the mall stores. One is pink, the other yellow. Both have cool little stars and sparkle designs. Gotta stay hydrated. Plus, you can't have like too many water bottles, right?]

I hope this isn't a stupid ass gift.

[This is a good time to gift Mary something Frieda meant to give her for a while already: A Mermaid Necklace - what better time for her to have it than now that she lives near the artificial sea? She already insisted that Rinku keep the Feather Necklace that (somewhat) served them in the fae trial, but she still has something for her too: A Power Apple (grants a boost in magical power but, unbeknownst to Frieda, comes with the side effect of making the user see everything in black and white silhouettes).]

[mayoninofukucho]

[Hijikata leaves on the table a Transforming Keychain (keychain that changes into a weapon that suits its owner when magical energy is applied to it - magic can also be absorbed back to turn it back to normal) for Mary and a ninja star (with, unbeknownst to him, some special properties) for Rinku! It served him well as a talisman, but it's time to pass it on. (Somehow Frogsuke never had to pop in to save his ass, despite the considerable trouble he got himself into... granted, he does also have a guardian spirit.)]

[starwill]

[ Feeling a little silly, both Rinku and Mary are getting portraits in a rather ridiculous art style of themselves.

(i'm so sorry.)

also a few gold coins that she got from her haul at the Temple of Death. ]

[curuiosity]

[Rui's gift is a planter with yellow daisies in it, as well as a note on how to properly take care of them.]

Re: PRESENT TABLE

[luckynumber13]

[Dick had no idea what to get as a housewarming gift, but had spotted a Christmas Cactus while wandering the mall for ideas and figured a potted plant wasn't a bad idea especially if it flowered over Christmas.

He just hoped Rinku and her friend liked it.]

GAMES

[roundandaround]

[The first thing you might notice about the house is the space under the house. Between the columns holding it up is a space that's been decked out with games. Want to play suction cup darts against the wall of the little shed/garage where the elevator is? Or try to hit the shoddy piñata Rinku made from balloons and newspaper? There's also a little magnet fishing game in a kiddie pool, plus the classic(?) standby of Pin the Tail on the Human. She's even hauled out the TV so you can play off-brand Ring Fit -- for some reason it's called "Octagon Fitness Saga" and the controller's an octagon, but come on, you know what this is.

You can also start up your own games, if you've got the inclination -- just keep the truth or dare tame, the party's all ages after all.]

[happydreamed]

[Doing his best at Octagon Fitness Saga!]

This is - a surprisingly effective workout, isn't it - oh, would you like a turn?

GAMES

[marvelloussky]

[Wendy is trying her best to pin the tail on the human. She steps forward after she's been blindfolded... and immediately trips and falls flat on her face. Deeney flutters down and lands on the back of her head.]

Ow...

[snekeyes]

I feel I would have an unfair advantage if I attempted this one...

[Just eyeing the Pin the Tail on the Human and Piñata games (sure it was shoddily made, but it was cute!). After all, sealing her eyes was hardly unfamiliar to her.]

Re: GAMES - Truth or Dare - SFW

[melodymania]

[Of course Max is going to start his own game. And one he loves so much. And yes, he will keep it PG13 at the absolute most. More PG than not.]

Alright everyone. Truth or Dare time. Rules are easy. The person whose turn it is picks Truth or Dare. If you pick truth, another person asks you a question and you must answer it in the entirety and be honest. No lying allowed.

Dares are tasks that you must complete. Let's keep it within the realm of mortal abilities and for all ages. Don't ask someone to do something you wouldn't do in the park with children present, yes?

I'll go first. I pick Truth.

[mayoninofukucho]

[There's a piñata here?! After his recent resounding "victory" over the one at the last party, Hijikata is zeroing in on it.]

I wonder what's in there...

[Someone distract him so other people can get a shot at it!]

[curuiosity]

[Of course the game Rui is first attracted to is pin the tail on the human.]

This is quite the interesting take on Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Was this handmade or bought somewhere, I wonder?

[Does he have any intent on actually playing it, the world may never know.]

FOOD

[roundandaround]

[Supper is, of course, included -- Rinku just ordered in. There is a lot of pizza in here, from vegetable to the pepperoni mushroom Evangeline likes to Mecchan's favourite, shrimp and mayo, to one that just says "ALL" on the box and must have nine different toppings piled on there not counting the cheese. Whatever your favourite is, it's probably here.

Drinks are provided -- no alcohol, though -- and there's also a large cake with bright orange frosting and yellow icing flowers, and an assortment of fancy macarons at Mary's request. Sit around the supper table making conversation or just take your food around with you!]

[ashenrose]

So these are macarons... I can finally try some~

[She's grinning excitedly as she grabbed a handful for her plate, before glancing to whoever was nearby.]

You should try them too!

ART

[roundandaround]

[There's an arts-and-crafts room in here! Paper, canvas, clay, and all kinds of art supplies are available, and guests are encouraged to play around and make whatever they want to. They can post their art around the house or even take it home with them if they want. To that end, there's also roll paper laid out on empty bits of floor, so you can do big group drawings too!

The walls are white, as opposed to the bright colours inside the rest of the house -- but they're not intended to stay that way. Drawing on the walls is accepted and encouraged! Leave your mark wherever you like.]

[roundandaround]

[Rinku can be found in here drawing as well... not that she is any good at drawing, but she's on the floor right now trying to contribute to one of the Big Group Art Projects. Those are probably cats she's drawing. Maybe.]

Come over here, why don't you draw on this too? I wanna see what you'll add!

[She calls over to whoever's approaching and waves.

Meanwhile, Hina is trying to draw too. "How can a Zubat draw without hands or eyes?" you may ask, and the answer is "by biting the crayon, deciding it tastes bad so she shouldn't eat it, and scribbling before dropping it."]

MUSIC

[roundandaround]

[Looks like Rinku doesn't just fold her DJ booth up into her Hammerspace Purse. It's set up in this music room, with a Silencer Orb you can activate to soundproof your auditory experiments. Rinku's also brought her collection of world percussion instruments in for the party, and there's a microphone you can use too if you need it. Find your song and set up karaoke, or try and compose something new!]

Re: MUSIC - Agatha All Along Episode 4 slight spoilers

[melodymania]

Max steps into the music room. He pulls out his own red and black guitar as if from hammerspace behind his back. He steps up to the mic and plugs his guitar into the amp. He starts to rune his guitar.

"This is a song that reminds me of some truths. Some sad truths. Reminds me of my dad. I hope you like it," He says as he starts play. His voice shifts to fit the song. The instruments around him will play all on their own. They also will let anyone come up and join the jam session if they want.

SOFT ROOM

[roundandaround]

[Cuddle rooms are all the rage in home improvement these days. With soft walls and floor, a big couch, and plushies, pillows, and blankets galore, you can snuggle or sleep in here if you want a break or, like one of the hosts, just get overcome by how much you love everyone you know.

There's a life-size plush lion in here. And nesoberi and fumo of all kinds won from the crane machine. You can also start a pillow fight if you want, just don't hit anybody who's sleeping.]

[snekeyes]

[It did not take long for the rather introverted woman to need a break from the games and excitement- and in looking for somewhere to take a break, she found a room devoted to soft pillows and blankets and a huge couch perfect for a good nap.

Don't mind her streeeetching out on said couch to relax.]

Mm... I wonder if he would agree to have a room like this at home... it would be nice for reading in.

WILDCARD

[roundandaround]

[Got something else in mind? Thread it here! Have fun and don't bother the neighbours.]
