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 see.

( He understands the wordplay, and the fact that he was subjected to A Joke. He doesn't laugh, but he clearly gets it. )

... I used to do some work for NASA, before. The people there would make jokes like that sometimes.

( One would think they'd get tired of it after living it day in and day out, but not so for a number of them. )

[tylorific]

[ His eyes remain upward, a soft hum at that information. ]

Do you remember any good ones?

[tablescraps]

I don't know if any were good.

( How often are jokes genuinely good, anyway? Still, he seems to consider it. )

... "Why are astronauts always cleaning their spaceships?"

[tylorific]

I don't know. Why?

[tablescraps]

"Because they're full of stardust."

( badum-tss.................................... )

[tylorific]

[ Tylor laughs again, but it's even funnier hearing Mithrun tell one. ]

You know, I think you make these jokes funnier. Like an ashtray full of stardust.

[ But, he did say NASA-- ]

So, do you live in America? You don't have to tell me where.

[tablescraps]

( ashtray full of stardust...................... )

Yes, I do. Do you?

[tylorific]

Not right now, no. [ With all seriousness: ] I can't live there again until I'm 21.

[tablescraps]

( what law did u break............ )

Why?

[tylorific]

That's the drinking age. In Japan it's only 20!

[tablescraps]

( ??? )

You could refrain from drinking for a year.

( Then again, he is college student aged, apparently... College students do love their drinkies. )

[tylorific]

Why? Are you asking me to move in?

[ He jokes, his own drink already neglected behind him in favor of continuing to hold Mithrun's hand. ]

[tablescraps]

( He does assume it's just him joking, considering. )

Would you, if someone "pretty" asked you to?

( no more edging we're playing chicken )

[tylorific]

Well... I'd have to really like them, but sure, why not? Oh, and they'd have to be over 21.

[ A beat. ]

So what if someone asked you to move to Japan? Or to visit?

[tablescraps]

Over 21... to drink with?

( He's assuming. )

... There's something I have to be in America to do. I'd only leave if it serves that end.

[tylorific]

And to buy me drinks!

[ Mostly right, good job Mithrun. ]

Oh?, I see. What do you have to be there to do?

[tablescraps]

( ... )

It's something that won't let me be online anymore once I start it. And I'll start it once I finish recuperating. It should be soon.

[tylorific]

Oh. It must be pretty important then, huh?

[tablescraps]

... It's the only thing left in me that I want to do.

[tylorific]

... I see. Then, we better have as much fun as we can together, right?

[ Someone just got Tylor's cell number in a message! ]

If you ever want to talk offline, I don't mind.

[tablescraps]

( oh.

hm. after a few moments... he sends his number in return. He thinks it's somewhat pointless since he won't be in much position to chat once he goes offline, but... he isn't one to resist other people's attempts at mixing themselves into his life. )

... Sure. Contact me when you want. I'll likely be here until the end of beta, at least. So, for now... I'm still here.

( Not explicitly agreeing to "having as much fun together as we can" bit... but he's not rejecting it, either. )
