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!

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!"
