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!

"You're quite welcome." Ignis replied pleasantly. He wouldn't have complimented the onigiri if he didn't mean it. But he was surprised to hear that the other offered to bring something else 'next time' whenever that was.

"I bet if you make them before another party, they'd be a huge hit." And of course he meant work but he didn't want to call it that with this being a party and all.

"I'll, uh, keep that in mind." He was really trying to just take a compliment, but it was hard not to tell someone to screw off and stop praising him.

"And, uh, I can help out, I guess...you know, at the lodge, with, uh...more than dishes, if you want."

Ignis nodded, He had the feeling that he'd need to let this kid breathe and get out of his hair. But before he could do that just yet, he heard the offer of the helping out with more than dishes.

"I would like that if you're up to the task. But I should get going and let you get back to what you were doing before I rudely interrupted."

Giving an out was important.

Running away, that's what he'd been doing. He'd faced down monsters, one of them being the being that manifested from his own thoughts, and the idea of someone telling him his food might be good was the most terrifying of all of them.

"I'm up to it." The one thing Shinjiro never shies away from is a challenge. Just don't let him near a customer who complains about their meal. "Uh...okay. I'll see you at work, then."
faithfulsupport: (Tell me about it)

Their conversation was over and Ignis was totally fine with it. He did smile when he heard the other was up for the task and he nodded.

"Alright, you take care and thank you for providing your dish for the party."

And then he turned to leave.
