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!

"I was told that at the baker's," she agreed, though she did look worried anyway. "I have seen humans eat many things which have colors that seem to indicate danger."

But humans seemed adaptable.

"Humans do have a tendency to eat rather strange things. it can vary quite heavily between cultures as well." Her own had quite a few things that others might see as odd.

Between cultures? Lauri-Ell looks confused once more.

"Do you mean to say that humans have multiple differing cultural practices?"

This might require new study.

She looked a bit confused for a second and then gave a nod. "Yes. Some have similarities, but many are extremely different. Does your home planet not have that?"

"I do not know. I have never been stationed on Hala," Lauri-Ell admitted with a shrug. "I have lived my life as a soldier, sent about the duties deemed needed of me."

Yet she was certain the Empire stood united. One people. One glorious people.

"But perhaps we've been at odds with the Skrull too long to be separate."

"That sounds like a rather difficult life," she said with a sympathetic expression.

"I'm afraid I am not familiar with the Skrull either."

"Yes, but I am happy with who I am now," she says with a warm smile. "I have been given a chance to grow in ways I am grateful for."

Oh dear, no one knew the Skrull.

"They are a species of shapeshifters. I do not believe any are here. If they were from my time or further forward, they would approach me as an ally I think. Unless they did not like the Alliance. Or were from the past. Then they would attack me."

"That is quite admirable." Mitsuru, for her part, was still working on discovering what it really meant to be herself. It seemed to be a more difficult task than some might think.

"I see. Are they capable of shapeshifting to any form? If so that seems as though they would be quite a difficult enemy to deal with."

"They are limited in how small or large they can become, but yes. They have historically been known to hide as plants, animals, and even inanimate objects if they are very good with their transformations."

So it can truly be a dangerous thing to enter an area where a Skrull might be.
