Who: Rebecca, Viral, Yoosung, Rantaro, Mishima--Lockdown CRAU party, basically, but anyone can wander in
What: It's a birthday party for a Beastman, y'all. FEEL FREE TO USE AS A MINGLE!
When: BACKDATED to October 18th
Where: Keystone Rise kitchen, Keystone Annex Roof
Warnings: None, probably? Bound to be some murdergame refugee musings somewhere in here.

[ To have to relive the month of October again is a little much for Rebecca to bare. By now, she thinks the whole thing should be wiped off the calendar, just September to November--it wouldn't change anything but it'd make her feel better, wouldn't it?

At least, it would have, as the only irrational alternative, if she hadn't found something else to keep herself busy with. And busy she's been, since learning from Yoosung about Viral's "birthday." (She's pretty positive he gave it to himself, back in Fayflower, but it counts, all the same.)

So...well, everyone seems to whatever they need here, so Rebecca claims both the kitchen and the annex roof early as she can. ]


Kitchen

[ ...and then gets to work on something kind of monstrous. There's...so much meat? Ground beef, stuffed into cake-pans, and breadcrumbs. It's clear Rebecca's working on something she's not familiar with, but...well, this is what the last week and a half has been for, trying to perfect a recipe.

You're free to find her during this prep, as she's reading over a cookbook from the library (less said about that venture the better) or shaping frostin- no, excuse me, it's mashed potatoes, resembling frosting. ]


Annex Roof

[ And...well, here we are. While busy in the kitchen, the ones Rebecca's enlisted for this little party (shoutout Lockdown boys) have gotten the lounge area ready. ...The good thing is, when you're throwing a party for someone who's very much a go-with-the-flow guy, there's not much prep to do, beyond getting up some varying quality banners, and making sure no one else claims the room for themselves. Really, this is less of a party than it is a get-together, but there's attempts made. Party hats, Rebecca, really? Yes. Party hats. Because why not.

So, at around mid-afternoon, after setting down the freaking meat cake, all that's left is to get the man of the hour. Rebecca will do that herself, dragging him (...or attempting to) if necessary, not exactly saying just why he has to come with her, nor explaining why they're headed somewhere she usually wouldn't be caught, uh...well, a place she normally avoids.

There's nothing stopping anyone from joining in, or wandering about and asking what's going on. No bouncers at this party, so everyone's welcome...

...yes, even, if you want to party-crash a certain clown. ]

[To be perfectly honest, Rantaro barely even realized Viral was here until Rebecca started planning a party for him... But hey, it's not the worst mistake he's ever made, and he's more than happy to help with the prep! One of his unique contributions was setting up a sign near the entrance that basically reads RESERVED FOR THE SURVIVORS OF FAYFLOWER UNIVERSITY, but he'll also help with the banners and make sure the furniture's arranged all nicely.

He won't miss the party either. Yes, he's wearing a party hat. He's trying to get in the mood as everyone mingles around the strange meat cake. At least it's good meat cake, he thinks to himself as he catches up with everyone else in spite of his speech issues... Hope Viral isn't too weirded out by them.

When he's not interacting with people, though, he can be found sitting near the glass walls and gazing at the sea... Damn, it's been way too long since he got a clear view of the horizon. No cages or shadowy disease obscuring the view, nothing that seems fake or foreboding... And the ocean's in plain sight.

Whatever this place is, it sure beats Fayflower and Monokuma's games.]

[Yoosung has been taping together party hats on Rebecca's request, because of course this is the task that's fallen to him. Though the construction paper she found makes this look especially kiddie, he's at least gone over each one in glitter marker for the image of a drill-like spiral up each conical adornment, imbuing them with A Man's Soul(tm.) Not that he actually has any idea what the symbolism of these are supposed to be, but obviously he is wearing one after all of that trouble. Please appreciate it.]

[Viral has honestly not even paid that much attention to the calendar. Did he notice that they're repeating most of the month of October? Probably not.

Linear time is a human construct, etc.

So it's with a bit of confusion that he lets Rebecca herd him into the lounge - she's fortunately caught him before a hunting trip and not after, else there could very well be 'an entire deer' involved in the festivities.

Before Fayflower, he'd only ever been to one human event that could be called anything like a party, and he'd wallflowered the entire time, lurking against a tree at the back as Simon and Nia exchanged vows. As a result, preeeeeetty much nothing could have prepared him for this.]


This - what - Rebecca - ?

[Someone please help him.

And after he's adjusted a little to the whole idea... Well, he's still a bit of a wallflower, but he's actually gotten a (slightly oversized) fork to eat the meat cake with. There's even a paper crown (decorated with drills, because of course it is) gamely perched on his head.

Once again, humans surprise him by continuing to be not so bad at all.]

[Hey, it's for a good cause... Though Rantaro's thankful for the snack break here.

He sort of chuckles himself when she brings that up, so here he is turning on the hologram on his watch.]


I thought this was supposed to be a private event!

[The party, up until this point, has been relatively clown-free. What a treat, how peaceful.

Such a shame it is, then, when suddenly- out of nowhere there's a shower of confetti, right in Viral's face, and a dreadfully familiar voice.]


SURPRIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE!

[Arianna is here, observing the pans of beef. Was she here before? How did she get in? Listen. It doesn't matter. Rebecca is cooking food for a party and that means this is where Arianna needs to be so it's where she is. Actually she was looking for a snack but shhhh.]

My! You must be preparing something incredible!

[Has Arianna even met Viral? It doesn't matter. Birthdays are important and she will celebrate for everyone.]

clown crashing

[There was no way this party was going to go without Gogol for long. As a clown, he can sense when they're happening, practically smelling it in the air.

Still, he stalls his arrival, luring everyone into a false sense of security. Every party needs a good surprise after all.

After a while, suddenly, there's an explosion of confetti.

Then, further away, another one.

Gogol's contribution to this party is primarily teleporting himself around and throwing confetti, often directly over the guests, until he either exhausts himself or Rebecca chases him out with a broom. Whichever comes first.]

[One moment, he was enjoying the suprisingly tasty meat cake. The next, he and his food are now covered in confetti.

... What?

He just stares at this clown, bewildered at everything. Just... Why.]

[personal profile] sendintheclown 2018-11-22 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Surpriiiiise!

[Gogol giggles, and, so long as Rantaro is staring, he wordlessly tosses confetti at him. It seems to be coming right from the air in his hands, and he doesn't seem any close to stopping at all, ever.

And so I pray,
Unlimited confetti works

[Oh dear lord does he have a giant supply of confetti in his coat? He doesn't see where it's coming from- OH GOD IT'S GETTING IN. EVERYTHING.]

Gaaaah! [Now he's flailing a bit, trying desperately to bat the confetti away with his arms. Staaap.]

sendintheclown: (HOSE THERE)

[personal profile] sendintheclown 2018-11-22 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahahaha!

[Gogol takes a brief break from confetti throwing to appreciate the flailing. Just like a kitten with a feather toy! Okay, have one more handful. There, he's done now. He's good. For the moment.]

Having fun?

See? We remembered!

[ Mishima straightens his own party hat, which is slipping off a little, but then grins proudly. Maybe the guild didn't end up being too much more than a party planning committee, but they're committed to these parties!! ]

We'd actually been planning to do something back in the simulation, but then we ended up here and the days were all weird again. [ He only just missed yet another repeat of his own birthday... ] But we didn't miss it!

Just stay out of the kitchen, okay?
sendintheclown: (Default)

[personal profile] sendintheclown 2018-11-22 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[He just reeeaaaches over and sprinkles a little more confetti over Mishima's head. Just a light dusting.]

Hm? [There's the final dash of confetti aaaaand he's done! You look perfect, Mishima.] Why not?

[ Mishima had seen Yoosung working on these, but actually seeing the finished product on his head... look, they're nicely made with what he had to work with, but lmao.

Crossing his arms, he feigns giving him a once-over, while making little attempt to hide his amusement. ]


Hot.

[Poe startles at the first explosion of confetti and Karl almost falls off his shoulders. Poe visibly relaxes once he realizes the source of it, but Karl still seems uncomfortable. Poe waits for Gogol to have had his fun and let everyone get his hit by confetti at least once before making a token attempt to intervene once Gogol starts to get noticeably tired. It's ultimately harmless fun in the end, even if it's annoying to have confetti everywhere.]

Had your fun, Clown?

[Poe is here, hovering near one of the corners of the room and not doing very well in resisting his wallflower instincts. He's only not completely in the corner because he actually knows a good amount of the people here. Still, you might have to approach him first.

Later he can be found feeding a small portion of a slice of the meat cake to a very pleased Karl. At least one of them is enjoying the cake. Feel free to approach the pair.]

Just about!

[Gogol leans in close and -poof- with a flick of the wrist there's a small confetti shower raining down on the two of them.

With Poe's shoulder's occupied, he has no other choice but to lazily wrap his arms around his waist, and rests his chin on a Karl-free bit of his shoulder.]


Alright, now I have.
blackcatintheruemorgue: (Smile Neutral)

[personal profile] blackcatintheruemorgue 2018-11-22 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a small laugh from Poe and a squeak from Karl at the confetti raining down. The laugh turns into a sputter at Gogol's actions. While a heavily blushing Poe relaxes into Gogol's hold, Karl scoots as far away as he can from Gogol. It's not very far since Poe's shoulders are only so big, but it's the thought that counts.]

I'm glad.

[Poe hesitantly wraps his arms around Gogol's waist as well. He has no idea what he's doing, but... he might as well get used to this PDA thing.]

You'll um... likely have to flee soon. Lest Rebecca try and make you clean up the confetti.

[Keyword being try, as he doubts that would be successful.]
