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'll be the first I call if I give it a try. Maybe you'll find your true calling here." Maybe his real true calling was test tester extraordinaire of Aterat. Seemed like he was heading that way.

"We're the only two that heard it, so there'd be no proof. As long as we agree to not blame each other when it happens." It was probably a when, not an if. They were due for something bad, at least that was how her life generally went back home. Things had been nice and rather quiet for a few months now. Way too long.

Chuckling a little, he shrugged. “You could be right. One never knows until they actually try.” Really, his life was already proving to be quite different here at Aterat… And the continued path of ‘trying new things’ had certainly taken him in directions he found preferable to where his life had been before.

“Mm… That’s true.” And no one needed to know they’d even considered it, right? Simply not speaking of something was far easier than lying about it, anyway. He just had to keep his mouth shut. Easy! Probably… Maybe… “I won’t say anything if you don’t, then. It’ll be uh- our secret if something does happen.” he added with a grin, hardly about to blame Ivy when something happened. He was more likely to blame himself, after all.

"Cross my hear," she said making an x over her heart. "I should get going, I hope you enjoy the other food. As long as my pizza stays number one."

“You’re pizza will certainly remain near the top at least, perhaps even above pretzels depending on the selection.” He added with a small chuckle, but he nodded. “Enjoy the gathering, Ivy. I’ll see you later, I’m sure.” He added with a small half wave as he balanced his plate, before letting her head off.
