Potluck Mingle: Welcome Party

[musketea]

When March 2nd Where Blossomcrown Central Park
What Potluck Mingle/Welcome Party

About.

What had started with Mami stress-baking far too much cake and offering to give some away, had lead to a number of other offers to bring food, and soon she had ended up in charge of a substantial potluck mingle. Well, she supposed it would make for a nice welcome party for everyone else who had been dragged into this strange new world with her!

And so, a number of small tables and picnic blankets had been set out with cakes, cookies, hot dogs, burgers and other sweet and savoury treats that her and others had been brought along. Mami had even taken the time to decorate the table with little flowers that she'd gathered as well, just to add to the atmosphere that the cherry blossom trees already provided.

Hopefully it would be a relaxing, pleasant afternoon.

Notes.

OOC: Feel free to make your own TLs, mingle, interact with each other and all of that stuff! I'll add a comment at the top for people to add what they're bringing along for reference (but contributions are of course not mandatory).

It's not necessarily an easy thing to do. Take whatever time you need.

[sangreine]

Thanks. I'll figure it out.

It's a little odd, feeling like I've never "met" anyone from my own world. Because of the way I wake up, even my memory regains felt far away.

It makes me very grateful to have so many people from other worlds that have accepted me.

[glidinglight]

You're an easy person to accept.

[ Yes, Saya is a chiropteran and yes, there's some very heavy baggage that comes with that. But it doesn't change that, as a lucid person, Saya is a pleasure to know. ]

Do you wish that you could meet them?

She knows that Saya has a lot of painful memories in her past--that there were a lot of people who hurt her. Truthfully, Lumine isn't sure if she had positive relationships or family she misses.

[sangreine]

[ Her hatchling form is possibly better, but to each their own ]

I don't think so. I'm not the same person I was, even moreso than anyone else who had their memories stolen. I think they'd just be sad.

[glidinglight]

[ I mean. Everybody loves a baby. But there is something undeniably better about having a peer that can understand you and laugh with you and understands your jokes and references. ]

Sad because of the things you've had to endure?

[ She hopes that's what she means. ]

[sangreine]

[ Yeah but it's Saya so the trade-offs are substantial ]

Sad because I'm no longer the person they knew. Or because my feelings for them are distant and muted. Intellectually knowing we meant something to each other isn't the same as having all the context for that relationship.

[ This is one of the few things she takes wisdom points in. Her amnesia is harder on the people around her, absolutely. ]

[glidinglight]

[ tut tut. she wouldn't have it any other way and that's that. ]

Hmm. I could understand why you'd feel that way--how they could feel that way. It was difficult at first, knowing that I was supposed to be friends with Childe and Venti--but not having any of the memories or the context for it.

But... you know, we did build it up eventually. And look at things now. It's not impossible things wouldn't work out well in the long run.

[sangreine]

I mean, of course I'm really happy for you, all of you, but...

I don't have a "long run", Lumine. I have a few months before I sleep for decades and then forget everything all over again.

[glidinglight]

We're going to figure out a way around that. I'm sure of it.

[sangreine]

I'm glad once of us is confident. I have no idea where to even start. [ She sounds resigned, because she is. ]

[glidinglight]

It's okay. If you need us to be confident for you, we can be.

[sangreine]

I might just. Thank you for being willing to do it.

Maybe I should be more optimistic, it's just hard. I've been going through this for a very long time.

[glidinglight]

[ Gentle shoulder bump. ]

It's hard not to get discouraged when you get hit with negative things over and over again. No one could fault you for that.
