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!

"It is! I'm sure quite a number of worlds must have unique color patterns and accessories that can be combined." Which would be very interesting to see. Now she was just excited for him! Now she could barely wait for him to show her some things. He certainly was a wonderful choice to ask for help with a project such as that.

"Perhaps you can eventually work towards selling your art? I believe I saw some sort of upscale area while wondering around. That might be a prime location to look for investors." People who had spare money were often quick to throw it towards artwork, especially if it could be considered more on the rare side. Though she did know that her friend occasionally struggled with moral quandaries about selling his work.

"I will send you a message on the devices when I decide to go!"

Yes, and Yusuke was still rather deep in that struggle from the current point in time he was from. “I had considered that, yes… And I can’t deny it would make things somewhat easier?” But his brow furrowed lightly as he folded his arms lightly. “But I feel as though I would rather people simply enjoy it, to have my art hinge upon what profit can be found in it is unsettling.” He added with a small shake of his head, he really wasn’t sure what he was doing. Yusuke did at least recognize the fact that he was going to need to find some way to make an income.

That he was at least thinking of offering his creative services to assist with certain media that might help the city in some way was the most he had considered thus far… But he certainly could use a little more encouragement on that front, given he wasn’t even sure of charging for his help with the fashion catalogue. One could only hope that he might work up to selling some of his art without feeling that particular tug of fear at the idea that he might turn out to be somewhat like his mentor had been, even if that was so very unlikely knowing Yusuke.

But he perked up at her confirmation, “Wonderful! I look forward to your message, Haru.”
