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!

He breathed a sigh, rubbing the back of his neck self-consciously. It was one of the few things he found uncomfortable to discuss, and he didn't like admitting it.

"I'm an orphan. I never knew my folks, where I came from. She's...Mitsuru Kirijo. She's, shit, now she's the head of the Kirijo Group and so far out of my league I can even see the station."

"Shit, I don't know. She's..." It was hard to describe Mitsuru. It wasn't that he didn't know, or have this vision of her in his mind. He thought of her often enough to be distracting, especially lately, when he'd gotten over himself and had relieved some of his guilt over what had happened with Ken and his mother.

"She's graceful and articulate. She makes shit like running a company look easy. She's refined and beautiful, and I'm..." he trailed off, shaking his head. Me, is what he didn't say.

"Tch, I ain't nice." He was, just blunt and intolerant of most idle banter. He never saw the point in wasting time like that.

"And I made rice balls, not dinner. Who says I can cook?"

He heaved a sigh. "I guess I can cook okay. It ain't like I've have many people tastin' my food."

His jaw clenched at her question, though Shinjiro supposed he couldn't actually deny it, at leadt in part.

"I guess, kinda. Didn't know what anybody would think, didn't want the attention if they liked it. I like keepin' to myself, you know?"

"Bad? Nah, I guess not. If I wanted to, I could just leave." He shrugged. He wasn't socially awkward, really, just an introvert.

He smiled slightly as he added, "I'm glad people like it."

"Sure, I'll think about it." He figured he was going to start small, and with one person, but it was a start, right?

"Sure, and uh..." he paused for a second, because he wasn't sure he wanted to give her this much, before adding, "thanks. For puttin' it together."
