Who ☀ Hector & "everyone"
What ☀ It's Hector's birthday!
When ☀ August 5
Where ☀ Lumina Cloth. Surprise!
Content Warnings ☀ drunk people, will add as needed

[ Arrive at Mac Anu, where the welcome party was held, to find it...empty? A quick look on the forums shows a little edit to Hector's post:

We're popping Lumina Cloth's cherry! See you there :-)

So that's where he is.

In the center of the brightly illuminated nighttime city, Hector's set himself up for his little get together. But since he doesn't have any tables or plates or anything fancy like that, all the alcohol and food he bought from various vendors are just...strewn around the floor. The food is probably still good to eat, though. It's fine. Take what strikes your fancy!

Hector's wearing his outfit again. He lounges on the steps of that funky spinny thing in the center of town, and anyone who gets close enough to hear him will hear music coming from his mic. Give him a break. He's doing his best.

When enough people have gathered, he might actually get up and drag everyone into a drinking game.

So enjoy—eat, drink, mingle, and smack your friends! PvP is enabled here, after all :) ]

[YEAH!!! when is it going up on the market board]

Mm, they sure do. For someone like me, it's very important. But I'll like people regardless. I'll be friends with anyone.

[He's sincere on that.]

How very kind of you. Though! I must know! What should I call you? I'm Anaido, nice to meet you!

[tablescraps]

Mithrun. You posted about looking for friends on the forums, right?

( He thinks he remember this. (His memory still vague despite literally commenting on Anaido's post.) )

Are you lonely?

[wowcool]

I sure did!

[........Ah. Something falters in his expression, but he keeps up the smile.]

I suppose I am.

[tablescraps]

What would make you feel less lonely right now? Do you want to talk about something?

( We're going to be productive about this. We're going to problem solve. )

[wowcool]

I...

[He seems a little helpless with this question?]

That's...there's too much for you to handle. It's fine.

[tablescraps]

I'll be fine. What is it?

[wowcool]

No, no, no, it's...

[A little shaky sigh.]

I guess. Um. Something...not about what's going on in ny head. Anything. That would be fine.

[tablescraps]

( y'all getting therapy or )

All right.

( He considers. )

Have you been to the amusement park here?

[wowcool]

[: )]

Oh, I haven't! Is it fun? Have you gone?

[tablescraps]

I haven't. Do you want to go?

[wowcool]

....

[He's staring at him as if he expects he'll take it back.]

Um. Alright! Sure! Yes! Why not, new friend?

[tablescraps]

Let's go.

( Whether indifferent to Anaido's uncertainty or simply ignorant of it, Mithrun proceeds to straight up just start walking off from the party, expecting Anaido will follow. )

I know generally where it is.

( Words that will precede disaster, inevitably. )

[wowcool]

Oh, okay. Lead the way.

[Since he knows where to go! He follows along, dutifully.]

Have you ever been to an amusement park before?

[tablescraps]

A long time ago. With people I knew. I never particularly cared for them before, but... looking at them now, I think it's something that's defined by the people you're with.

( He's leading them away from the colorful amusement park lights in the distance........ )

[wowcool]

...

[He glances back, a little concerned.]

Mm. [Hm.] Perhaps! Maybe I'll make your amusement park experience better! If that's where you're going.

[tablescraps]

It is where we're going.

( Seems??? Genuine???(????)

Still isn't going the right direction, )

[wowcool]

...








[Reaching out his hand.]

Take my hand, friend!

[tablescraps]

( ? takes it? people sure like taking his hand here he's getting used to it

Looks at him expectantly, like, "Why?" )

[wowcool]

You have an awful sense of direction and need to be saved from yourself.




[haha whoops he didn't mean to say that ANYWAYS!!! GOING TO THE PARK]

[tablescraps]

( Oh. )

I've been told that before.

( He dutifully trots alongside Anaido...! At least Mithrun doesn't seem offended. )

Things aren't where I expect them to be.

[wowcool]

That's alright.

[He swings their hands a little, sincere in his remark.]

That's why its nice to have help, right?

[tablescraps]

I guess.

( He allows it - rather, he doesn't seem to mind it. )

It's surprising, that people want to help other people. Growing up, I always saw that people wouldn't.

[wowcool]

Hm?

[He's turning his head to look directly at the man, almost a little confused.]

Because you assumed they'd want something out of others?

[tablescraps]

( verbal shrug tone )

That was usually the case. Was it different for you?

[wowcool]

I think everyone wants something out of others. That's just human nature. But it's not a bad thing, sometimes. We just want what we want.

[Another swing of their hands.]

Like I want to go to the park with you. Is that wrong?
