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!

The last time he'd seen the Commander had been the day Nida had been released from the infirmary back to his own room, before Nida had snapped and... So many things. It was a wash of fear and confusion and pain to even remember how much the commander should be disappointed in him, in his weakness.
(And maybe part of him was thinking 'at last the guy got a new fucking coat'.)
"Sir," he said, unable to help the way he snapped to attention. Years of serving under the Commander meant it was second nature. "I didn't know you were here."
no subject
Seriously, what the hell on both counts.
The 'sir' and the gesture earned Nida an odd look. Sure maybe he might get something like that from the people in Radiant Garden, but he really didn't fight alongside the townspeople because they hid when the Heartless were incoming.
Try as he might, Leon couldn't place this guy and a part of him felt like Aerith must've felt when she informed him that she had no idea who he was. So he tried to give his memory bank another minute.
"I just showed up."
no subject
“That tends to be how it goes. But Hyne, I have to admit it’s been so long since I’ve seen someone familiar that it’s sort of jarring. And for it to be you, Squall…”
He let that hang, because he didn’t even know how he felt like that. Squall who is older than him. Squall who might hate him for his choices. And Hyne, one he thought might not approve of him abandoning the SeeD ideals to be happy. What a mess.
no subject
Squall.
He shrugged because this guy wasn't ringing any bells in his head. Most people knew not to call him Squall and if they did as Yuffie had, he'd very curtly and promptly correct them. However, Leon wasn't about to correct him, not after that gesture and the 'sir' thing. This guy wasn't calling him Squall to be a dick.
So he looked back to his drink. "I really can't place you at all in my memory. But it's fine, I've forgotten friends before so maybe it's just going around." He and everyone in Radiant Garden had forgotten Sora, Donald and Goofy, but then one day remembered them. In this place, Aerith didn't recall him at all and he had no idea who this guy was.
This place was going to be hell.
no subject
"I mean, I know it's not like I'm as close to you as others, but yeah. I just... okay. I guess I'm used to you forgetting me. I was never the most memorable. But I'm still worried. Just how bad do things get for you to need to fall back so hard on GFs to forget?"
no subject
And so he looked at his drink and then back up at the guy with genuine concern because he'd never heard the term before. "What's a GF?"
no subject
"GFs? Guardian Forces? The things we partner with for magic?"
How could Squall forget that?
no subject
His eyes closed and he sighed. This was the mirror of his conversation with Aerith and he knew it. So he then opened his eyes. "But don't worry about it." This was just creepy and confusing. "It might be a case of another world and another version of the person in front of you."
He took a sip of his drink and didn't look up. "Had it happen to me."
no subject
"Let me guess... Balamb Garden means nothing to you."
no subject
Looking up at Nida after taking a sip of his drink, he shook his head. "No, and I'm willing to bet Radiant Garden means nothing to you."
no subject
It sounded like a condescending sort of name that maybe Esthar would give to a Garden. So he had to believe this wasn't his Squall.
"Guess I wasn't expecting to see such a familiar face and not be known to them."
no subject
That still stung.
He shrugged and looked Nida in the eye to convey his sincerity after hearing about seeing a familiar face.
"Sorry."
For not being who Nida thought he was.
no subject
"It's okay. Frankly I never would have expected someone from home anyway. AT least this way I can't disappoint you with my previous actions."
no subject
And he had no idea what to say to Nida's words about disappointing him. Huh.
"Sounds like you really liked the guy enough to worry like that."
no subject
No, Nida would always respect Squall Leonhart. And would always feel bad for failing him.
no subject
no subject
A bit? What an understatement.

no subject
Time to try something different, maybe.
"So this Squall you know, he had a gunblade too?"
no subject
"Indeed. He's had a number. There was the Revolver that he started with, and now he carries the Lion Heart. Amazing two-handed thing. Glows with an inner light.
no subject
This Lion heart sounded pretty neat and he wished for a second to see it, but that wasn't going to happen no matter what. The Lion Heart was given to Sora after the Hades Cup. But it was a keychain and not a gunblade. Sora had said to Yuffie that he wielded it with some pride afterwards.
no subject
"I always thought the Revolver seemed a better choice than Seifer's Hyperion. But I'm a polearms user, so I've got that fondness for using both hands."
no subject
no subject
"Really. You don't know Seifer Almasy? You don't have a Seifer Almasy in your life?"
He's aghast!
