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 :) ]

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?

[tablescraps]

... I don't think so.

( Is swung... )

I probably won't be fun to go with.

( Maybe something he should have mentioned before going... Then again, it might be painfully obvious he has the personality of drywall. )

But you'd probably be the first to want to.

[wowcool]

Why are you sabotaging yourself?

[He says, a little lightly, though the words themselves come down like a hammer.]

It's always worth a try.

[tablescraps]

( Oh, )

Am I?

[wowcool]

Yes! You're saying you won't be fun to go with! That makes me a little sad.

[tablescraps]

... I guess that does defeat the purpose of this.

( You know, by making Anaido sad. )

I've never had real friends before, myself.

( So larping friendship is also new for him. He's figuring it out. )

[wowcool]

Oh, me too.

[He says it as casually as anything.]

I'll be your friend, then. We can figure it out together.

[tablescraps]

... Okay. Then you'll be my first.

( And they arrive at the amusement park???? Very pretty with flashing lights everywhere. Lots of sugary confection booths... Mithrun looking everywhere like wao )

... Do you have anything you want to do?

[wowcool]

...Ah.

[He....flushes, suddenly, overwhelmed by HAVING A FRIEND but he is quickly moving on to:]

Let us win something! You and I! I love games. I think you'd love them too.
