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!

Ivy | Open

[personal profile] neurotoxicity 2022-06-28 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Ivy wasn't sure why she'd come. It seemed like a terrible idea now that she was here surrounded by flowers and a ridiculous looking...pretzel station? Was that what that was? At least she'd gotten the idea about what this really was. Impressively sneaky of the woman who planned it, reminded her a bit of something Rachel would do back home. That thought stung. Her partner back home would love something like this. She'd probably say it showed community spirit or something equally as...wholesome.

Yeah, that was the word for it. This all seemed ridiculously wholesome. Yet, here she was, a living vampire participating in a wholesome community potluck. Everyone back home would sure get a kick out of this. The worst part was she even looked the part of the out of place vampire: long black hair down, a sleevless black top, black pants, and a large silver cross necklace. In both hands she was carrying a tray with a large homemade pizza with cheese and a ridiculous amount of garlic and tomato sauce. She'd brought something like this to another event here, but it was kind of the thing she was best at making. Why try to redefine the wheel?

She put the pizza down awkwardly then immediately found her way over to the drink section. Maybe that'd at least make her a bit more comfortable with this entire thing.

Yes, the woman who had arranged all this was quite sneaky. Sneaky enough that Llewellyn was going to have to have a word with her at some point for still working the whole pretzel stand in for him. It definitely gave the event a small undertone of ‘welcome back’ that he hadn’t been expecting or prepared for. Well… He would try to have a word once he got over how sweet the gesture was. It was rather brain breaking for him when people just went and did nice things like that when they didn’t have to. So he probably would let it slide, if only because he was busy feeling both touched and awkward.

At least the best way to cope with that was by eating pretzels (and sharing a few pieces with his canine companion of the same name). Which is what he was doing when he happened to notice Ivy setting what looked like a pizza on the table, his eyes lighting up since he hadn’t found a good place for pizza here as yet. Investigating (like all good detectives do, as Ivy knew well) the table curiously. He raised a brow as he realized it was homemade and looked amazing. “I didn’t know you could cook.” Popped out first, before he ducked his head in greeting and tucked a pretzel in his pocket for later. “And afternoon- it’s good to see you, Ivy.”

It was good to see her out at an event. That was… progress on not being a vampire hermit or running into her at the tavern awkwardly, right?

"Is it that shocking?" Deep down Ivy knew that it was. She knew there was no way she actually looked like someone that knew her way around a kitchen. It wouldn't be an inaccurate deduction either, aside from pizza she wasn't that great inside a kitchen. Most of the more complicated dishes she ate came special order from Piscary's. Pizza though? She knew how to make that. Not only did she know how to make it, she knew hot to make it incredibly well. Everything was homemade, from the sauce to the crust itself and it even looked like a professional quality pizza. Ivy didn't do anything halfway, so if she hadn't had an actual dish she could make that looked good she would have just bought something.

"I grew up working in Pizza Piscary's. Lived there for a while too." She rolled her shoulders as if a vampire pizza place was the most normal thing one could talk about. "It's nice to see you here too." Better than running into him while he was drinking away his problems.

Llewellyn winced visibly as she asked him, “Well- no…” He responded a bit awkwardly, gesturing a little at the table. “I wouldn’t say shocking, exactly. Just a small surprise?” It was a curious mental image, given how she usually carried herself. Working in a kitchen was not something he imagined, given what she’d told him about her life prior to arriving here.

So it was an interesting detail about her life to learn about, something quite different compared to everything else. “I see, so you’re uh- actually something of an expert at pizza, then?” He added with a small smile, reaching for a plate. He could go back for pretzels anytime, but trying some of Ivy’s pizza would be absolutely necessary now that he knew.

And Llewellyn offered a wry smile to the comment, getting the feeling there was ‘and not at the tavern’ implied at the end of her greeting. “Yes, I am rather well acquainted with the host. I uh- work for Aerith at the flower shop, and she was quite excited about the idea.” And had clearly put a lot of work into it, so how could he not attend? And… Well, it was at least informal and not as large as a full party would have been. It was a nice way to ease in to socializing outside the tavern or work again, perhaps.

Plus, it really did seem to be doing wonders for bringing people together, what with the influx of new arrivals he’d noticed.

"Is small surprise really that different from shocking?" She was doing her best to hide the fact that she was actually smirking. It probably wasn't fair to give him a hard time since it was a detail of her life she'd left out. But logic wasn't going to stop her. Given the more somber nature of their last conversations it was almost nicer to have something like this.

"Piscary's the expert," she replied wryly as she watched him take a slice. There was expectation in her eyes, betraying that she was pretty eager to hear what he thought. "I just picked up some knowledge here and there while Kist and I lived there. Sometimes he made us work during the summer." She shrugged. "Must be hard to imagine my ancient Egyptian undead Master working in a Pizzeria, huh? Killer cook though." In more ways than one. Not only was the place one of the highest rated food places around, it was also one of the most well known vampire dens in the city.

"I've spoken to her a few times. Nice shop. Cheery girl." Bit too cheery for Ivy's tastes, even if her own abilities meant she could recognize someone who might be hiding some of their emotions. "I can't really remember the last time I went to anything like this. Not really the type of party I went to back home."

“Mm… Perhaps… Perhaps not!” He responded with a small awkward shrug, brows raised at what may or may not have been a smirk on his friends part. Ah, well… He was fine with being a source of amusement in this case. Likewise, he was trying to put some of the seriousness behind him now that time had passed since his return. Plus… It wasn’t as if she were completely wrong.

“I confess, it is an odd mental image to try to put together…?” But the pizza had captured his interest, and it didn’t take him long to take a slice for his plate for sampling. Absentmindedly listening to her explanation as he eyed it thoughtfully. She seemed to be brushing the suggestion off… But he was pretty sure that, expert or not, it was going to be delicious. It was already leaps and bounds better than anything he or Rhy could make. As much as they were trying to get better at that. Llewellyn showing the least improvement on that front. So he took a bite, getting the distinct feeling she was waiting to find out if it was as good as he guessed.

And it was delicious! A pleased, enthusiastic hum escaping at the flavour. “I uh- hate to argue, but I believe you are at least an expert at making them, compared to many pizzas I’ve had in the past. Clearly, you absorbed more than you realized.” He responded with a small shake of his head, offering a small grin. How did people do this? How did they make something that tasted so good?

Llewellyn, if he were the sort to gossip about a friend, would have offered that Ivy was probably right. But he wasn’t, and though concerned, he respected Aerith’s privacy on that front… Unless it was directly tied to someone else. So he instead nodded in agreement with Ivy’s next comment. “Nor have I, at least not for quite some time…? It’s… Rather nice to see everyone gathered like this.” Jack hadn’t done parties after he got married to protect his ‘cover,’ and then Milo…? Milo had liked things a little more opulent and far from low-key. Then the rest had more or less… decided who the ‘in group’ was, and he hadn’t made the cut by the way things had fallen outside work.

So being included now, with his friends and in a setting a little less uncomfortable, was a nice way to ease back in.

"Perhaps not," she rolled her eyes playfully and shook her head. "He even wears an apron," she said with a moderately amused sounding tone. It was rare for her to talk about her Master with anything but fear and confusion, but this was a subject that was detached from just about all of that. In a weird way it was actually a pretty good memory. "He makes a lot of items off the menu for me even. There's this red salad he makes with bamboo. It's amazing." Not that anyone but her would ever know that. It was a strictly Ivy item, off the menu and made special for pickup. Deep down she knew that it was all a game to Piscary, he did things like that to appeal to her human side. There was no motivation to it beyond trying to make her forget he had no soul and no real emotions. Still...it worked. As messed up as that was.

"Why do I feel like that's not the compliment you think it is?" She couldn't really imagine him making an entire pizza. She could imagine him burning an entire pizza, but making one? She wasn't so sure there. She sighed though. "Maybe I'll accept pizza expert of this place as a new title. I'm currently without one." For the first time in years. It was actually weirder than she'd thought it'd be to not really have a profession or title here. Sometimes it led to her being more bored than she could ever recall being. "Glad you're enjoying it though." Another thing she strangely meant. It was kind of nice to have someone enjoy something she'd made this much. "I know how to make them with just about any topping, so if you ever want one..." She probably wouldn't mind making it.

"We don't really do things like this back home. Fancy Christmas parties and nightclubs are more what I'm used to." Thankfully she hadn't run into anyone trying to hold an upscale Christmas shindig here. Small favors. "Guess it is nice to see a sense of community or whatever you'd call it."

“It’s a good thing we’re at a potluck, I think. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to do anything about how hungry the idea of such interesting dishes makes me.” He commented with a small shake of his head as she described some of the food. A red salad with bamboo? That sounded interesting and delicious if her opinion of it was anything to go by. It was… interesting to hear this side of it. On the one hand, it was nice to think that not all of Ivy’s memories were painful or upsetting… But on the other? It was hard to not wonder about this Piscary’s motivations in this, though, given all the pain he caused Ivy otherwise.

He offered a soft laugh. “I hope you would take it as a compliment. It’s uh- true that Toronto in my era doesn’t have the greatest selection for things like pizza as yet… But! I do have another entire world of experience to pull from other than my own, as well.” And he had gone out for pizza with people a few times there, trying all manner of odd toppings and styles. So! This was, indeed, a decent compliment. At least, he thought it was. “Considering I haven’t seen pizza here so far, I bet ‘Pizza Expert’ is a role that needs filling, too.” He added with a grin. Making pizzas and investigating cases, not a bad way to pass the time, he supposed.

The offer gets a curious expression. “I wouldn’t mind trying other toppings, if you mean that… Perhaps you could even give me some pointers one day.” He added, though she probably didn’t need that kind of disaster on her hands. He was, after all, quite hopeless in the kitchen. Glancing around at the party again, though, he nodded lightly. “I think I’d call it that… A rarity in most places as time passes, but it’s nice to see here.” It was easy to imagine Ivy attending fancier gatherings, of course. But those did seem to be a little rarer around here. Not that he was complaining, either.

"I'd try to make it but," she shrugged. "It'd be a guessing game." And she really didn't think she'd be able to guess right. Now that she'd spoken about it though she almost wanted to try. It felt weird to realize there were nice things about Piscary she missed. There were always brief moments where she missed the bad things, but ones that weren't drenched in disaster? Those were rare.

The problem with Ivy just taking a compliment at face value came down to the fact that she still wasn't used to a compliment being just a compliment. Her world was one of double meanings and ulterior motives. "Thanks," she said with just a hint of stiff awkwardness.

"Not sure if a pizza expert is really what this place needs. Then again, haven't really found any places that sell it." Which had been kind of disappointing. She let out a laugh and raised an eyebrow. "Why wouldn't I mean it?" Though she kept laughing at his offer. "I have been wanting something more dangerous to sink my teeth into." And him in the kitchen? It definitely seemed on the side of danger.

"Wonder if people are honest about it or if it's forced."

"Pizza," Nida cooed as she brought it over. He was busy leaving his own jugs of cider at the table, clearly disdaining the drink table for them for now. After all, this was a drink he could have and he needed to stay away from some other options there. So people would have to be content with this.

But Nida? He was eyeing that pizza with true longing.

"Is it the same one as last time?" he asked her, clearly excited. "I have wanted another slice of your pizza for SO long. My husband makes his so thin crust and that's what he likes, but man, I wanted this one!"

"Similar. Sauce comes out slightly different each time," she said with a nonchalant shrug. Perfectionists were always harder on themselves than they should be. "The man that taught me never had a recipe written down himself, so it's up to guessing to get it close. Luckily I lived above the Pizzeria, so I was around it a lot." At least vampires had naturally good sense of smell so it was easy to pick things out from memory based on scent.

"I'm surprised anyone remembered it well enough to want another slice."

[personal profile] skyward_eyes 2022-07-11 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Well that's fine. He's still excited about it anyway. Because that was a likely tasty price to pay for things so good as this.

"I wish I'd lived near a pizzeria," Nida laughs. His husband was okay at it but he would manage without. "I've been hoping on this for a while honestly. Thank you for making it again."

"I'm not sure if you'd have liked ours," a hint of a smile touched her lips. "It also served as the most popular vampire den." Then again there was something about his general aesthetic that made her wonder if he wouldn't fit in despite being human.

"If I'd known someone liked it that much I might have been persuaded to make another." She tilted her head and then added on: "I still could be. Is there a toping combination you'd like?"
skyward_eyes: Harry Shum Jr as Magnus Bane (Default)

[personal profile] skyward_eyes 2022-07-13 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, perhaps not. But damn, pizza was still nice. And he'd never lived near a place that served pizza. The Garden was not big on it.

"Mm," she bit down on her lower lip, clearly trying to stop herself from letting out a scoff of some kind. That was not a combo she expected to hear and it showed on her facial expression.

"Only a bit of judgement," she quirked her lips. "Guess nobody can say you don't have unique tastes."

"Indeed," Nida answered. "I think I got used to it because not many people at school took a slice of it, but it was a pet favorite of maybe the headmaster or someone? And so there were always slices of it. Call it favoritism through indoctrination."

"Guess we have that in common, I learned to make pizza from my master," though she hoped his headmaster wasn't as shit as her vampiric master. "I'd say there are worse things to be indoctrinated into, but that sounds like a pretty bad combo."

To his credit, Harry his best to actually dress up for the affair. It was a community event, a potluck (not that he'd had the opportunity to take part in many of them in his lifetime), so he still dressed casually in blue jeans, a cream-colored button down, cowboy boots. He'd thought about his duster, about the arcane protections it afforded him, and left it back in his room. Given his choice of clothing, though, he looked like he's stepped off the set of a western regardless, especially considering he was wearing the brown cowboy hat he'd gotten from Mono a few months ago.

He noted how Ivy had placed her pizza and convinced himself it could only be so awkward of he helped himself to a slice of her pizza before walking over. He grabbed a plate, at least, and had a napkin. It was all civilized and everything. He even had the presence of mind to swallow before he said anything.

"Hey. You're pretty good at the whole pizza thing."

Luckily for both of them Ivy had actually been prepared to run into him here. It was a blanket invitation for free food, there was no way Harry would miss that. Ivy knew him well enough to know that with an almost guaranteed certainty. Usually, this would have meant she'd have tried to avoid him. But...she wasn't sure if that was what she wanted. Actually, she was pretty sure it wasn't what she wanted. It was flirting with danger, but there was no denying that she liked it.

What she didn't like was his outfit, which she gave a quick once over and then arched an eyebrow. "Surprised you didn't say howdy first," her voice was throaty, clearly with a more flirtatious edge to it than a judgmental one. Though...there was definitely a bit of judgement there. Just a bit.

He grinned at her jest, one because it was funny and he never got enough of people giving him a hard time over his clothing choices, and two, because instead of trying to find a way to get out of the situation she was actually teasing him. The risk was definitely worth the reward.

"I can do better." He reached a hand up to the brim of his hat, pulling it down slightly as he tilted his head in a slight nod. He stretched the next words out in a long, Texas drawl. "I tell you what, little lady, this here's some mighty fine Pizza you're peddlin'. I reckon I ought to have me another piece, 'specially considerin' it's made all professional-like."

If there was anything that was going to give her secondhand embarrassment it was that display. She winced at that and scrunched her nose up.

"If I could ask for the pizza back, I would." The worst part was that she was having to hide just the slightest hint of a smile on her lips. Did she actually find it...charming? That was actually the most embarrassing part of the entire thing. "Should I be concerned with how good you are at that?"

He laughed at that. "There are a lot of reasons you should be concerned, Ivy, but that isn't one of them. I lived on a ranch for a while, with actual cows. Some things stuck."

A lot of things, really, but this was a friendly party and there was no reason to drudge up the past. "So, aside from second-hand embarrassment, how are you enjoying the community building party?"

"No, I really think this might be the most concerning thing I've learned about you," she said with a serious expression that didn't waiver. Was she joking? Good luck trying to figure that out.

"The answer to that depends on if you're going to ask me how the weather's been." Sure, things were awkward after what had happened. That was a give-in. And sure, she'd avoided the hell out of him since then, so this awkwardness was on her too. But did it really have to be this awkward? She gave a reluctant shrug though. "It's not really the type of party I'm used to."

"That's the most concerning thing you've learned about me? Really? I haven't been trying hard enough, I guess." He was kidding undoubtedly, at least that's the story you'll get from the man.

"No weather talk, I promise." It was awkward, but he was powerful through. He'd dealt with his share of awkward conversations in the past and he could press on through this one, too. He nodded in agreement. "Me either. It kind of has that...neighborhood bake sale feeling to it, doesn't it?" Which he'd heard of, but he'd also never lived in a suburb. "Wholesome, down-to-Earth. It's one steeple short of a church community center, and I mean that in the best way possible."

Probably not the best time to bring that up, but hey, it'd been in the back of her mind for months now and it seemed to be weighing on every interaction they'd had. If talking went bad, she'd just do the logical thing: blame Watts.
