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!

"Hmm, maybe it will make a good test..." and that she actually meant. It was something they seemed to both have some sort of interest in too, so it wouldn't even be that hard.
"Thank you!" She did really appreciate him saying that. "Honestly, I was pretty worried nobody would show up." That would have been so completely embarrassing, but it'd been a big fear. It seemed like some people preferred to keep almost completely to themselves here and she was surprised to see that even a few of those people showed up. "I can't wait to hear from you then," she said in the most enthusiastic voice she could muster. She didn't want to take it back, but she was definitely a bit...surprised that was what he wanted.

Perhaps the right influences, the right thoughts and wishes might be more helpful than they thought to helping it along for the better. So he smiled his agreement. “It shall be, I think. The proof of it working should be easy enough to spot as well, considering the space and location such a place would require.” And if the test failed, well, they simply would never see an aquarium. But that was a sad thought, and positive thinking to put the idea out there into the world seemed as important. After all… He’d seen stranger things happen!
“It would seem those worries were unfounded, though I can understand how that might be a concern. Hard to have a potluck without guests… Though I think that in itself would inspire more to gather and contribute.” He added with a smile. Even he had pulled himself away from his projects to attend and enjoy the delicious treats there were to be found.
The longer she got to know Yusuke, the less surprising she’d find him and his ideas, perhaps. “Wonderful! I’ll need a little time to gather supplies, but I’ll certainly reach out to you soon.”

So, ultimately she just nodded at his comments and smiled. "We've gotten some nicer things lately too, so maybe we're doing a good job. And if we're doing a good job...we deserve the aquarium." Logic at it's finest.
"Exactly, a potluck without guests would have just been sad. And maybe a bit embarrassing. But luckily it's all worked out!" Better yet it'd worked out in a way where it actually seemed like people were having a decent time. That made her extremely glad she'd managed to pull it off. "I'm glad my first event like this went well."
She gave him a smile and an awkward chuckle. "If you need help with supplies let me know."

Maybe that was a bit much for wishful thinking, but it was hard to not want something so familiar here. Especially if it was something that others might not have had the chance to enjoy! The aquarium, planetarium and museum were all such wonderful places to visit. At least he could actually look up in this place and see the stars far more easily than one could in Tokyo… But an aquarium was less easy to find alternatives for!
“I believe your first event went more than well, it’s been quite enjoyable! And I can see that it’s a feeling shared, by the expressions and chatter I’ve observed since arriving.” Yusuke was terribly observant after all, taking in expressions and trying to guess things about the people he watched as he tried to understand the world around him better.
At the question of supplies, he shook his head. “I’m sure I will be able to handle the supplies, I’ve managed to secure quite a few things since I arrived to add on to those that I arrived with. It shouldn’t be too hard to gather the rest, there’s a rather nice shop in the market where I’ve found excellent pigments and such.” And he would blow through his budget, as per usual. But his art was his life, really, and it was hard for him to deny himself the supplies he needed to continue to practice and work on his skills. Aerith was already doing enough, in his opinion, to just be volunteering to be his model. Not to mention that she was going to be giving him a space to display completed work! “I’ll be in touch in plenty of time for you to decide if you have the time on a day for our meeting or not.”

"Aw, thank you. That's nice of you to say," she said with a wide grin. That was quite the compliment for her to get when she'd been relatively nervous that nobody at all would show up. The idea had actually been really embarrassing to think about. "Everyone does seem really chatty! I'm glad that people brought things and actually stayed around to talk to each other."
She nodded in confirmation. "If you say so. I'm glad you've been able to find things along the way here. I'm sure I'll be ready whenever you get in touch. I hope you enjoy the rest of the little party though!"
