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 :) ]

I already said that I won't do that.

[ Brambles must be more drunk than he thought. ]

Is it the side-effect of the alcohol?

[ Joonghyuk points his finger at Brambles' red face. It doesn't make much sense for him to react so strongly to a few drinks, but... ]

[dapples]

Haha ... cool!

[ he looks at that finger, then back to joonghyuk, laughing with embarrassment. ]

Um ... maybe? I'm quite rosy-cheeked, aren't I?

[regressive]

[ Cool?? What's so cool about him pointing his finger at Brambles? He literally told his little sister a few days ago that it's rude. ]

Rosy-cheeked is one way to put it. Maybe just avoid talking about offline stuff while you're like this.

[dapples]

[ the man is drunk..... we cannot expect logic here....... ]

How else can I get to know people? I've already leaked my university, ehehe ... oops. But I graduated ages ago, so it's fine.

[regressive]

Sober.

[ That's his answer to How else can I get to know people? because... yeah. ]

You can take about in-game stuff. What loot you got... that kind of thing.

[ Boring. ]

[dapples]

[ sobriety is not an option here, YJH!!!!!!! ]

Loot...! But all I've gotten so far are two maid dresses! [ TWO!!!! ] That's mortifying to bring up to strangers!

[regressive]

[ Just. This face. ]

2/2

[regressive]

Two maid dresses? This is getting out of hand.

[ Does he dare ask how did it happen? ]

You used the same keywords?

[dapples]

[ HE DIDN'T MEAN FOR IT TO GET OUT OF HAND!!!! ]

No! The keywords were different!

[regressive]

Then you're really unlucky. [ He raises his eyebrow. ] Or lucky, if you wanted a spare.

[dapples]

[ HE IS RED AGAIN, ]

Why would I want a spare?!

[regressive]

[ How would he know.... ]

To display it? To make sure you have something else to wear if your first maid skin gets damaged?

[dapples]

[ and yet again, he blushes, ]

I-I already swore off wearing it again, remember!? So there's no way it's gonna get damaged...!

[regressive]

What if you change your mind?

[ That could happen... just saying. ]

[dapples]

[ if he changed his mind? like, if he actually went out in his maid attire?! ]

Then ... everyone would laugh at me.

[regressive]

Who would?

[ Give him NAMES, Brambles. He is bloodthirsty. ]

You can do anything you want in a game.

[ Just look at the forums. ]

[dapples]

Well, yeah ... but!

[ HE WON'T NAMEDROP ]

You saw me. I looked really silly. And people can be really nasty on the internet ...

[regressive]

You got that part about people right.

[ As for looking silly... there's no comment on purpose. ]

You can always try leveling up more and blasting spells on weirdos.

[dapples]

Mmm. I suppose I could if anyone was funny with me while dressed as a maid ...

[ urk!! ]

But I'm still not doing it!

[regressive]

You might find something that suits you better. [ Joonghyuk turns his gaze away. ] And doesn't make you feel like this.

[dapples]

Oh, yeah...! Good plan. That's true!

[ joonghyuk is a good bean ]

Whew. I'm so glad I have you around here. You're a great friend.

1/2

[regressive]

[ 🧍‍♂️ ]

2/2

[regressive]

Do you want another drink?

[ He panicked. ]

[dapples]

Well, if you're offering...! Heehee! [ IS THIS REALLY A GOOD IDEA (NO) but fuck it we ball ]

[regressive]

[ This is THE WORST idea but he needs to process this. ]

It's okay to leave you alone for five minutes, right?
