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 guess it is.

[ He had to think about that for a good moment, though. ]

What about you? Are you a party type of person?

[legendofthelion]

Yeah, I like a good party. You gotta enjoy life while you got it, right? When you're not working anyway.

[ganymed]

[ Yeah...enjoying life while they still have it sounds real. ]

Fortunately, I think I do enjoy my work a great deal. But, you're right.

[legendofthelion]

It's good to like what you do for a living, too. [Or at least find things to like about it.] What is your work?

[ganymed]

I'm an experienced dancer.

[ He says simply, but even with a drink in his hand, he decides to do a little elegant spin - twirl just once. ]

What about you? What do you do?

[legendofthelion]

Oh, I just do odd jobs here and there based on what people need. [She shrugs.] But being a professional dancer sounds really cool. Is it like ballet or dancing at concerts?

[ganymed]

Odd jobs? In what fields?

[ Ganymede is curious enough to ask, because it seems casual enough... ]

Like both, since I take part in dancing at theatre productions, and those cover a wide variety of styles depending on what's been chosen.

[legendofthelion]

[Dehya waves a hand.] Not in any field. It's more like, you know, someone needs something delivered across the city, or they need an extra hand clearing out a yard, or they need someone to build a flatpack. Sometimes it's seasonal work at a shop. Just whatever I can do to make some money, you know?

It's not much to talk about. I'd rather hear more about your dancing. You do theater?

[ganymed]

Oh, so it's something like that.

[ Whatever the case, he did get his answer, so Ganymede is more or less satisfied...and he idly thinks he isn't the type to have his skills so, well. Diversified. But, that's just as well for him. ]

I do.

I picked up an interest in it ever since a young age. Of course, I decided to continue along with that 'interest', and that lead me to where I am now.

[legendofthelion]

That's great! It's really hard to make your dreams a reality like that. What's the biggest show you've done? Or your favorite?

[ganymed]

...Hmm, well, let me think about that for a moment.

[ One might think a singular pick might suffice, even for one within the entertainment industry. But the fact of the matter is that it's quite difficult for him to choose one. ]

The biggest show was and always happens to be whenever we do a piece from the Odyssey. It's a fairly well known work no matter wherever one goes. [ That's how one gets the tourists, because they do English language plays of it in Athens. ] I think I don't have a favorite for you since I like so many that I can't choose.

...But, do you have dreams of your own?

[legendofthelion]

Odyssey--that greek poem, right? [Huh, she didn't know there was a stage play about it.

But then he asks the hard hitting question, and Dehya's smile slips.] Of my own? Eh... I really just live each day as it comes. I don't have any big idea what I want to do with it.

[ganymed]

That's right.

[ The possibilities are endless in the world of theatre, yep.

But that is certainly an answer—not everyone needs to strive for something big, so he finds nothing questionable about it. ]

...Well, everyone has different approaches in their lives—as long as you make it all count is what matters, right? But, speaking of which, it's time for me to get back to mine.

[ Ganymede will give that statement as a parting comment, and then move right on! ]
