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!

"Wow! These are super good!" Even if she'd known he didn't have much pride she'd have still complimented him enthusiastically. It wasn't like she tried to be more gentle with Cloud despite his awkwardness. Everyone deserved equal treatment here. "I bet you'd make a killing with these at Wall Market."
no subject
It felt somehow undeserved for him, something meant for others. He frowned at her enthusiasm, uncertain, though there was something earnest about her he couldn't deny. He didn't know what the 'Wall Market' was, but he recognized a compliment when he heard one.
"They ain't anything special, just some rice balls."
no subject
"I'm glad you ended up coming." A part of her had wondered if he'd be the type to just leave something he made and then run outside. He had been attempting to get away but she'd like to think he wasn't trying to completely leave. Maybe he was just trying to go out to blend in with others who'd come to avoid attention about his dish!
no subject
He paused, then, as though so many words at one time were tiring. He didn't usually explain things, but she was so earnest and genuinely interested. "In Japan, that's where I'm from."
no subject
"Food carts are pretty popular where I'm from too, so it's nice to see something a bit familiar." Sometimes the differences between places were a bit too much for her, so seeing something more similar was refreshing. "Japan..." she shook her head. "Never heard of it, but I guess that's probably not surprising."
no subject
"It's an island country on Earth. Anybody ever mention that place?" Yeah, the idea of having to point out you were from Earth was never going to get old for Shinjiro. It was just too weird, and this was coming from a guy who regularly visited a different world every night. "We've got a lot of students in my town, so grab and go meals are pretty common. Stuff like this, takoyaki, sushi." He was opening up to her for sure. Evidently if it came to the food scene, Shinjiro was pretty knowledgeable. "We do big meals in Japan, but it's usually a family thing and you take your time with that shit. Most of us, uh students I mean, ain't got that kinda time."
no subject
"Yup! A bunch of people here are from that place. I think actually the majority are." Which made her and Cloud the odd ones out. Weirdly it'd never actually occured to her that it was a bit weird. There hadn't been that many people here that she'd met that were from places other than earth. Now that she'd thought about it she kind of wondered if that meant anything or if it was just some sort of coincidence. "Hmm...sounds a bit like some of the sectors in the slums. Wall Market has a lot of places like that too, where you can grab street food as you shop around." There were restaurants too, but the street vendors seemed a lot more common. "You're a student then?" That was not what she'd have thought at all based on how he looked.
no subject
"Sounds like a lively place." Like the strip mall in Iwatodai, always moving in some way. "Uh...yeah, just started my second semester of senior year, high school."
no subject
"Lively is definitely a way to describe it," she said with a laugh. She tilted her head and looked him over. "You know, I would have thought you were older!"
no subject
"Yeah? That a compliment?"
no subject
"I didn't mean it as an insult," she said with a shrug. So, obviously it was a compliment.
no subject
"I'll take the secret." And while the delivery was deadpan, the corner of his mouth twitched up in a manner that suggested he might be teasing, too.
"Thanks, I guess?"
no subject
"Only you guess?"
no subject
And that wasn't a lie. The problem was getting it through his head he deserved a date with Mitsuru.
"Fine, whatever. Thanks."
no subject
"You're welcome, I guess."
no subject
"have I what? Spit it out." She clearly had an idea, and he was pretty sure he knew what it was, but he wanted her to say it.
"Heh. Good."

"I'm an orphan. I never knew my folks, where I came from. She's...Mitsuru Kirijo. She's, shit, now she's the head of the Kirijo Group and so far out of my league I can even see the station."
no subject
"Sometimes you get more out of not knowing where you came from." In a lot of ways, Aerith would prefer that. But, she could nThen she really could live a normal life as a normal girl. But she could understand where his self-consciousness was coming from. "Buuut, I don't think that matters. Especially not here." She tilted her head and offered him a little smile. "I mean, it's not like her company is here, right? Besides, what does she think of the statues difference?"
no subject
"She's graceful and articulate. She makes shit like running a company look easy. She's refined and beautiful, and I'm..." he trailed off, shaking his head. Me, is what he didn't say.

"And I made rice balls, not dinner. Who says I can cook?"
