Event Post 4 - Christmas Party Time!

[pendulum_soul]

It is the Friday before winter break, and of course, it's the day for Yuya's Christmas party at Duel Academy!! If you head to the practical dueling test area you will find it completely decked out in paper garlands, tinsel and baubles. There is music playing loudly in the room, which is mostly popular Japanese music, but also some occasional Christmas tunes mixed in. Most of the music is upbeat, but there are also some occasional slow pieces too!

Up on the top walkway is where the buffet of food is set up on tables with just about everything you could imagine being on offer (And yes, there is extra of the meat based foods, Akuma!) as well as a few punch bowls scattered about. There is also a really nice strawberry Christmas cake on one of the tables, feel free to take a slice everyone, it looks REALLY good.

Down the stairs is the bottom part of the room, which is being used as a big dance area for anyone who wishes to dance to the music.

As always, feel free to make a thread, reply to other threads and have fun!
I encourage any hilarious party hijinks!

"Gross." She makes a face at the Christmas idea.

"Maybe we should try and lighten up. You're probably not that person anymore. A little spooky, maybe. But I'd never peg you as evil."

[imajin_all_the]

That bothers me, that I'm not.

[littlemissmyrmidon]

"Why would it bother you? People change. I'm not the same girl as I was yesterday, let alone a year ago." She goes to pat your shoulder, starting to smile.

[imajin_all_the]

... Because I feel like I've been twisted and brainwashed into not being myself.

[littlemissmyrmidon]

"...Mmm. True. I always forget that's a thing that's been happening around here." She frowns a little.

"But, can you say it's bad? You could take it up with the people who did it."

[imajin_all_the]

... I'm pretty sure the one doing it is my Mother, and talking to her is like talking to a typhoon.

::Sighs.::

[littlemissmyrmidon]

"It'd be worth a shot. And you should also play the hand you're dealt too. At least embrace the fact you're not a killing machine."

[imajin_all_the]

...

::Looks down, not sure if that's a good thing.::

[littlemissmyrmidon]

...Sighs a little through her nose and puts an arm around you.

"We can talk about something else, if you want Akae. I'm sorry."

[imajin_all_the]

... What do you get an immortal goddess for Christmas?

[littlemissmyrmidon]

"...I don't know. Never shopped for one. Definitely just something thoughtful. What does she like to do?"

[imajin_all_the]

Collect abandoned people. Turn girls into airheads. Make girls be into girls. Make guys look like they've been to the gym. Dote on her family. Pester her friends. Pester them to have kids. Perform mad science on people. Brainwash people. Humiliate people.

... I think she feasts on the humiliation.

[littlemissmyrmidon]

She chuckles nervously.

"...Bring her a new project I guess? N-not me! But maybe someone else! Or maybe just like, some dumb knick-knack or something. A newton's cradle?"

[imajin_all_the]

::... She's pondering to bring you to mom.::

... What's a Newton's Cradle?

[littlemissmyrmidon]

No please my brains are already scrambled enough.

"One of those things with the balls and the force travels through all of them sending the end balls swinging for a while?"

[imajin_all_the]

::But they could be scrambled and you could look super pretty.::

... You mean those stupid perpetual doinking machines? I think mom has those.

[littlemissmyrmidon]

I already look super pretty jeez.

"Well, maybe something else then. I'll go shopping with you to find something great, alright?"

[imajin_all_the]

::Drop dead hot Supermodel pretty.::

... I wouldn't mind that... What's your name again. I'm looking, but "Sea Ogre Girl" is all that's registering.

[littlemissmyrmidon]

She snorts.

"Date Kiko. But we're definitely on a first name basis."

[imajin_all_the]

::Facepalms, blushing.::

I look like an idiot, don't I...

[littlemissmyrmidon]

"Nah, just like. Someone who hasn't really bothered to learn names at all up until this point."

[imajin_all_the]

... I try! They. Just. Slip. Out.

[littlemissmyrmidon]

She raises an eyebrow at that.

"Well, now you don't have an excuse Akae. Because I'm going to just make sure that you don't forget my name."

[imajin_all_the]

::???s at that, confused.::

[littlemissmyrmidon]

She lightly taps your shoulder.

"Because I'll make sure we'll be hanging out and... You know. Spending time together."
