It's a Watts party! (Just don't tell him)
Who; Aerith + YOU
What; Potluck party
Where; Gray building's downstairs common room
When; Sunday June 26th; after 4pm
Warnings; None
Aerith co-opted the common room of the gray building starting on Saturday when she began the process of decoration. The most important part of any decoration (especially for Watts) was the flowers and Aerith had put together a few center pieces for tables. Each flower that she'd chosen had symbolized friendship in some way and they were set up in the center of small tables that had been brought inside. Of course she wasn't the one that moved those tables, she had a trust bodyguard for things like that, but she did the decorating!
And the cooking! The main attraction was a pretzel bar in the center of the room. Please, thank Cloud for bringing it in and Jacob for making the pretzel rack at Aerith's request. The soft pretzels were premade and there were plenty for everyone who may come through to have several (if not more). In addition to that there were also several dipping sauces to choose from including cheese, caramel, cinnamon sugar, honey mustard, and a spicy ginger sauce with chili flakes (eat at your own risk).
A table next to it had Materia Xiaolongbao. Yellow is crab flavor, black is soybean, blue is pork, green is cilantro, and red is spicy shrimp. Next to those are tiny moogle sweet bean buns. They fit in the palm of your hand but some of the moogles look...a lot better than others. She did her best!
There was another table with a few drinks set up for people to grab including a materia bomb cocktail with a bit of alcohol and different flavored materia ice (peach, strawberry, and blueberry) and bright green bubble tea with pop bubbles in the bottom. The green tea is flavored like something very different than one might expect it to be, it's a bit bit bitter and yet also a bit sharp, almost biting. It's meant to be the flavor of wind, whatever that's supposed to be. The pop bubbles are extremely sour and explode in the mouth with the sourness. The drink is also somehow fizzy, don't ask how.
A third table was empty save for the friendship bouquet at it's center. There was a little handwritten note on the table saying:
Leave your dishes here! Complete with a heart.
Aerith herself can be found wandering around and paying close attention to the drink table, making sure to run back to the kitchen quickly to grab more drinks if they run low.
OOC: Feel free to use this log as an open thing for anyone to mingle and get to know each other. Characters are welcome even if they didn't bring a dish themselves, but the more dishes the better! Anyone is welcome to come even if they didn't know she was throwing this party, it'd be pretty obvious that there was something going on in the Gray Building and she'll be leaving the door open with a small table that has a friendship flower bouquet on it. Please have some fun!

Jacob Miller | Open to All
After frantically texting Yuki to purchase the missing ingredients and meet him at his apartment, Jacob managed to arrive only a half hour late to the potluck.
He arrived in semi-decent condition with Yuki at his side. Jacob was carrying a large pot of chili while Yuki had the honey thyme cornbread tray in hand. He caught Aerith's gaze and flashed her a cocky grin before placing the steaming food out for people to eat.
He was only fashionably late, totally didn't forget.
With the food placed and a quick kiss pressed to Yuki's cheek, he walked around the party to say hi to the people he knew. It was weird to be actively polite but Jacob was trying to be more sociable. It was an inherently difficult task for him but he was a master at hiding his discomfort.
no subject
"Oohh, this smells great. I bet it'll be worth the wait!" That rhymed on complete accident. Possibly. Nobody will ever actually know. "I see you brought someone special," her voice held just a tiny note of teasing mixed with curiosity. It was really nice to see a friend potentially finding their happiness.
no subject
"Of course. I learned from Ignis." It helped that Chili was the kind of stew that involved tossing all the ingredients into a pot and then let it cook. It was very simple and even if it wasn't perfect, it always tasted delicious. "I also brought some cheese for those who don't like spicy food." He had added some nice red chili's to the pot to give it a good kick.
Jake hummed before finally meeting Aerith's gaze. "Huh? Oh, Yuki. Yeah. You could say that. Have you guys met?" He was sure they had since Yuki liked flowers and Aerith worked at the flower shop.
no subject
She nodded. "Yeah, we've met a few times. He seems really sweet."
no subject
"He is. Much nicer than I am." Yuki was nice while Jake pretended to be nice.
no subject
"You're too hard on yourself, you seem plenty nice to me."
no subject
"Possibly. We'll see. I'm working on it."
no subject
"Is it hard to work on being nice?"
no subject
"Mm?" He shrugged. "Sometimes." He was very thoughtless and it took great effort to use her brain.
no subject
In part because he'd seen that kiss.
"Good to see you, my dear student. That was a cute moment right there."
no subject
"Cute? Me?" He raised an eyebrow. "I think you mean charming or something a bit more manly than cute."
no subject
"No, you and Yuki. And there is nothing unmanly about being cute. Anyone who may have told you that can fight me and I'll kick their ass."
no subject
"Yeah but it isn't my thing. Yuki is cute. Not me." He had fully accepted his sexual identity but Jacob still had the ingrained sensitivities from growing up in a heavily Christian house hold. "I can't compare to Yuki."
no subject
Dont' be weird, man. Accept what you are.
no subject
"So you bring anything or just here for the free food?"
no subject
"I brought spiced cider. Both apple and pear."
IT wasn't common knowledge that Nida avoided alcohol, but he hoped Jacob wouldn't press for an explanation.
no subject
He understood how things like that could easily get out of hand.
"I'll let you know what I think when I do." Not that he's super judgemental about the things he eats.
no subject
"You know I'm down for any opinions you might have," Nida answered. "And it has the added edge of being easy to get your hands on."
no subject
It was time to remember those happy days without it hurting.
"Honestly I didn't know you could cook with Ignis around." It wasn't like Nida ever needed to cook.
no subject
Making cider was far from something he was capable of.
"I can cook over fires, and Ignis is, slowly, teaching me. Very slowly. It's not my skill."
no subject
"It's okay. I'm learning slowly too. Actually, I think Ignis is teaching the whole city to cook at the rate he's going."
no subject
"I hope not. He supports us with his lovely Lodge."
And if everyone is cooking for themselves, well, there's not much to bring in then.
