open | party like you're 35;
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:
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 :) ]

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

That's quite the metaphor! But what if the answer is "no"?
no subject
[ But Ganymede would have never guessed that Fai hasn't started enjoying the party as of yet. He hasn't quite gotten there himself at this current time as it is still early on.
'The night is still young', as some people might say. ]
no subject
[ Damn, he's been seen through. But it's fine as long as they don't have to talk about it in length. ]
Would you like to join me for a drink? Maybe we can move to a different category together.
no subject
I don't mind. We're going to be drinking at the party anyway.
[ He doesn't mind alcohol and can be a bit of a social drinker. ]
What kind of other topics were you thinking about? How we see the world a bit differently?
no subject
[ He tries to think of a good way to get into Ganymede's head with a single question. Hmmm...
In the meantime, Fai leads him over to where a lot of the alcohol is still sitting on the floor. ]
What do you think of games like this, for one? Do you enjoy the social aspect?
no subject
I think so far it's alright, but the experience is already beyond what I imagined it'd be. I'm also actually not one for engaging too much in the social aspect of such things, but it's different with a game.
Like in real life, there are some goals you can't manage by yourself. But here, that's even more obvious. And there are more excuses to talk to people...those who don't know who you are.
[ For the most part! Which is what draws him to explore it. ]
no subject
[ He can't help but wonder if Ganymede has hurdles in real life that make it harder for him to get closer to people. Honestly... Fai gets it. ]
no subject
[ There's a moment of pause, because while his thoughts have been swirling originally towards something towards that effect, he was a bit less certain of it until now. So, he nods. ]
...It's almost like starting over, without having to do so completely.
no subject
[ Fai has felt similarly, even if there are people that he knows here. ]
But even that comes with his own pressure. What if you don't like the first impression you gave?
no subject
[ He knows he sometimes puts up walls, so he, quite frankly has been doing what he thinks he wants to do. Has he been caring about what others think of him? Well...not yet, maybe. ]
Do you yourself know what to do if you should ever be in a position like that?
no subject
[ He thinks it can work pretty well, even if Fai is usually not ashamed of the impression he specifically gives off. ]
no subject
[ Ganymede thinks he's possibly given a few of those by now, but nothing too earth-shattering. ]
no subject
[ Again, he's getting the vibe that Ganymede is excluding himself here. ]
no subject
There's a pointed pause where he actually thinks about it, though. ]
...I think I would, depending on the person.
Before, I might've said no, but it could be a little different now. It'd be difficult if I was always making bad impressions.
[ Something he finally settles on. ]
no subject
It would be~ But what kind of person would you go through that effort for?
no subject
I believe reliable kinds of people would be ideal.
[ Ganymede looks actually a little thoughtful, though.
He should be realistic, but what's the harm in answering? ]
But, someone who can look you in the eye, and speak to you honestly, taking you seriously, so sincerely in their own way...it sounds nice.
no subject
[ Sure sounds like it to him! ]
Valuing sincerity so much seems to be right on par from what little I know about you.
[ He's kind of tsundere, so it fits in Fai's book. ]
no subject
[ Type? TYPE???
But, maybe it is. To people who are like that, or to that person...he might just confide in them some things he would not to anyone else. ]
I don't know what to say to that!
[ Because maybe that part is a bit accurate too. ]
no subject
[ He laughs. ]
It's a good type to have. I like sincerity a lot myself.
no subject
...Then, that's your type?
[ 'As well' or 'too'? He doesn't say, even if it is implied. He's not denying it, but this way he doesn't have to say 'yes, it is', at the same time.
He might just die from embarrassment. ]
no subject
But he'll go ahead and just answer the question. It's easy enough anyway. ]
Rough around the edges, confident, doesn't back down easily. Ah, but a good heart is important.
no subject
...I can see why you'd like those things. Especially a good heart.
[ Underneath all that rough and confident exterior, someone holding a pure heart sounds nice, to him. It's important, to know someone can care about you, deep down; something even he feels is true. That said... ]
Though, I do need to go.
[ And with that, he will be on his way. He's sure they will meet again. ]
