POST-GAME IRL PARTY LOG

Who: All the living players
What: Reunion party
When: Post-game
Where: ?
Warnings: none for now


[ It has been several months since the incident. Recovering from your body being in disuse for around two months must have been hefty, as well as your other commitments as well. Hopefully, everyone has recovered to an extent, because no matter where you are, the living players will receive the following in their mailbox: an invitation to a reunion party at a location near the beach between the ex-beta testers of Fragment, a bank card, and a 4-digit pin to said card from "Oriade". The invitation card will mention the following:
- A very convenient location nearby you with access to a small, private plane. For security purposes, you'll be told to list your in-game name, real name, and class before boarding.

- The bank card contains $10,000 as some sort of "compensation" for everything that happened because of the Fragment incident. He knows it can't replace everything (like lost lives), but he hopes this will help some people (because some people live paycheck to paycheck and he understands that). Access will be revoked in a month, so you better withdraw it all while you still can. Any unused funds will be returned. The bank will not question you withdrawing all the money from that account nor exchanging it all with foreign currency. (But-- no buts)

- The servers have been located and he knows how much you guys want to destroy these, so the server bash (literally) will happen some time during the party.

Being rich has its benefits, surely. When the plane lands with their luggage and all (if you brought any. please bring some), they'll be taken to a house that doesn't seem like much, but once they walk inside, it is actually very big! There are numerous rooms inside the house. The kitchen is stocked with everything you can think of with some dude(?) preparing all the food (he's the chef. don't worry about him). There is sure to be loads of different kinds of food that can cater to everyone's tastes. Yes, there is alcohol. Get some free rich ass liquor. No, you cannot smuggle any. That dude(?) will be keeping tabs. Sometimes there's a maid or two(? or is that the same one) running around and cleaning up after everyone. If you want something, go get it yourself. Self-service only.

There's a walkway in the backyard that's also wheelchair-accessible that leads to the beach! Enjoy that too.

But for the main attraction, the server burning.

[ In some ways, typing things out is just remarkably quicker. Ganymede pockets his phone, takes out one of his colorful notebooks and scribbles down his email address in turn, before holding it out. ]

I'll look forward to you coming along.

...In the meanwhile, we can catch up on a lot of other things. And I hope you get a chance to do exactly that with the others too.

[ Ganymede just knows besides Mehmet's two baes other people will be happy to see him. ]

[ Mehmet takes the note with a little chuckle and stuffs it (messily!) into his pocket. It's fine... ]

No, hold on a second, I'm not done yet. [ He plants both hands on top of his cane and looks Ganymede up and down again. He needs all the hot goss. Excuse? ] Who proposed? I need to know.
ganymed: (he'll feel)

[personal profile] ganymed 2023-12-29 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ Totally fine; Ganymede judges the messier pocket-stuffing but as long as it's in one piece that's what really matters.

As Mehmet looks him over and asks the question, he brightens again with ease. Though first, a tease: ]


You're not?

[ But judging by the little smile, Ganymede is, of course, naturally happy to gossip to kingdom come about the joyful nuggets on the subject. The elation can't be denied as he's talking, not unlike taking a fresh breath of air on a spring morning, and giving a sigh of relief after a casual remark about it being a good day. ]

I did. It was on a beautiful, cold day where the two of us were huddled for warmth by the fireplace...it was kind of a perfect scene for something like that, when you think about it. Of course you agree with me, right?

[ Ganymede is such a funny guy (and also cute, in like the feral bunny kind of way). It's hard for Mehmet not to smile when he sees Ganymede brighten like that.

And it's also hard not to chuckle a bit when Ganymede demands his agreement. ]


Of course I do. Very romantic. So did you pick out a ring for the occasion? Special wine? Rose petals?

[ Well?? ]
ganymed: (Maybe)

[personal profile] ganymed 2023-12-29 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Look at his adorable feral bunny little paws. Better watch out! He's pawsitively dangerous.

Though he's laughing lightly a bit himself at the questions directed his way. But, first, most importantly: ]


Good!

[ As for the questions... ]

Mhm, I did. Pick out a ring, that is. I'll leave it as a surprise what kind of ring or you can just guess for fun and I'll say whether or not you're right. I didn't think so far as to scatter rose petals everywhere, though if I did, I think Michel would've figured something was up.

...I didn't think of special wine, either. It wasn't really spur of the moment, but it would have been a nice touch. Something rare, like this party. Which, by the way, you've got to try some of the wine here if you haven't already.

[ Ah-ha. So Winter's real name is Michel. Time to tuck that away and go and bother him later...

In fact, he might. ]


So I should go and find Michel, then. Gotcha. [ Guessing? He's not playing! ]

Thanks for the rec, though. I had a little bit of the wine when I first got here. It was good. [ He shifts a little bit. Is he uncomfortable? ] But I'm trying not to drink too much.
ganymed: (I'm flying away)

[personal profile] ganymed 2023-12-30 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hey...

Hey! Ganymede huffs and crosses his arms. ]


You could at least get in one little guess...

[ Unbelievable. Completely unbelievable. How dare someone take the logical course of action here?? Anyway, he does notice Mehmet shift a little. Hmm. Well, he isn't exactly sure if it's related, but in the event it is, it can't hurt to shift to another potential point of a conversational subject. ]

Speaking of arrival and tasting things...did you get a chance to at least sample some of the food already?

[ Why guess when he could just go find out for himself?! It takes a lot of effort not to give a smug little smile but he doesn't. For the sake of Ganymede's pride. ]

Actually, no. [ He'll happily talk about food, though! He tilts his head. ] Anything good? Got any recs?

[ He has a little flash of those olives they had once... Was it during a guild meeting? Bad times. But good olives. ]
ganymed: (Σε άλλη σελάδα τώρα μπαίνω)

[personal profile] ganymed 2023-12-30 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Because ... because is why!! Anyway, thanks for sparing his pride, Mehmet?? You a real one. ]

Anything from the Mediterranean. [ Ehe. But no, seriously: ] But, most of the seafood pickings and fruit is good. It should be easier for people to stomach too. Like, if you still need to go light on stuff as opposed to pasta, which is something I also like.

...What kinds of food do you normally like, anyway?

[ Ganymede's stubbornness in preparing food in desperate times really came in clutch. There's definitely going to be food with olives at the wedding celebration, though! Practically a staple in Grecian foods. ]

[ Mediterranean food, of course. He's partial. He mentally makes a note of all these things to pick at later, when he gets a chance to swing by the food table (maybe he will see a certain large son of his there).

At the question, though, he shrugs. ]


I'll eat anything, really. Rice, chicken, whatever. [ Those are typically his first pickings. ] But I'll give what you've said a try. Don't see it not being good, y'know.

[ Considering how swanky the rest of this place is. ]
ganymed: (he'll feel)

[personal profile] ganymed 2024-01-04 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That'll make two of them, then!

But he gives a small nod at that, even if Ganymede does end up asking, out of curiosity: ]


Just about anything? Is there something you don't like? For example some kind of vegetable you think is the most gross?

[ Come to think of it, Ganymede hasn't thought too hard about it himself. He hasn't been all that much of a picky eater. And he also doubts that Oria would skimp on quality; source: himself as proof on having gone through the selections a bit already. ]

[ Mehmet just...looks at Ganymede.

What wouldn't he eat? He genuinely thinks about this for a moment, finger tapping on his cane. He thinks about his college days and the nasty shit he'd be dared to put in his mouth— ]


I'll eat anything.

[ He says it again, because it's true. His tastebuds are probably broken. How strange it is that this has never come up throughout the course of the entire beta... ]
ganymed: (For you to burn)

[personal profile] ganymed 2024-01-05 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
A...anything...?

[ Ganymede's expression transforms into an accordingly surprised shocked pikachu expression. Sure, people say things like they'd eat anything all the time, but usually they don't mean it.

It seems Mehmet is one of the few outliers, however. ]


...Even if it was something like 'pickled fruit'? Or rather, a whole, entire jar of pickles themselves?!

[ Not that he thinks Oria has ended up placing a whole ass jar of pickles in a swanky reunion of sorts. That would be the opposite of classy. ]
secondthoughts: (☀ 美しいものに名前がつくなら)

[personal profile] secondthoughts 2024-01-06 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure.

[ Mehmet's answer comes quickly and decisively. He said he would, wouldn't he? He taps the handle of his cane for a second, trying to come up with any reason he wouldn't eat either of those things, and... Nope, he comes up empty. ]

Why not?
ganymed: (I'm flying away)

[personal profile] ganymed 2024-01-08 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
...Either you have tastebuds of steel, have a stomach made of titanium, or you are just prepared to eat anything terrible, and think you'll walk out of the other side with your tastebuds in tact.

[ Ganymede wouldn't certainly necessarily call himself picky but all the same...even he can't imagine himself being ready to try just 'anything'. ]

Have you just, always been like that? Does it extend to juices and soda too?

[personal profile] secondthoughts 2024-01-11 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ Tastebuds of steel, a stomach of titanium? Mehmet seems oddly proud of both of these prospects. Maybe a lifetime of being dared to put weird things in his mouth have prepared him for this moment. Maybe he was born like this. Either way, it means he gives really good—

Anyway.

He briefly quirks a brow in his thought before answering. ]


I think the only thing I'm really picky about is wine. [ Oh, does he have Opinions on wine. ] If that answers your question.
ganymed: (my city and number)

[personal profile] ganymed 2024-01-12 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... Oh my. Well, well, some people have had the opportunity to cultivate the ability to consume certain things and that is totally fine. ]

It does answer it.

...After all, wine can be a juice!

[ Somewhere out there, Ganymede's more stuffy but far distant relatives recoil at the fact he dares to call such a drink a 'juice'. It's fine. ]

Kind of like a lot of things can be a soup.

[ Mehmet just stares at Ganymede for a second, lopsided smile on his lips.

Well. He's not wrong.

He reaches out and ruffles his hair again, this time with a little chuckle. ]


You're a weird kid, Ganymede.

[ When he pulls his hand back, there's a grin on his face. ]

Don't let me keep you, though. Go and enjoy the party.
