[This evening, anyone living in the Welcome Halls will come into the main floor to find a banquet of delicious food from both Yggdrasil and the worlds of anyone attending. There will be plenty of chairs & tables around to sit at and a big fire in the living room fireplace. Your patron god may or may not attend, but keep an eye out for the chance to talk to them! The food will be there all night, and the atmosphere warm and welcoming.

Those who have moved out will recieve texts on their bracelets inviting them to come to dinner. Also, for tonight the discomfort of entering someone else's welcome hall has been lifted, though only for those invited by someone who belongs to this House. Guests are more than welcome! Have a great time, and give us some smiles!]

SIGYN HOUSE

[ Here's Hanako, awkwardly sitting at the banquet, eyeing at the food but not diving in just yet. Sure it has been an oddly pleasant week, what with Tavros' party, then the festival, and now this. She can't doubt this is a good plan to recover from the battle, even if she's still kind of wary of things ever since Freya's departure.

At the very least, she knows mostly everyone from her house. Who should she talk to, though... ]

[lethechained]

[Naminé's good mood seems to be present here, too, though in this situation it is a bit more withdrawn. It does seem to be a more structured situation, after all, and she finds herself wondering if she should expect something unusual of this. Still, there's a small smile on her lips all the same while she has a look around as best she can from her seat.]

[considerate]

[Touya sits beside her, looking as well at what's in front of them before he comments to her.] They sure make it hard to choose, hm?

[ it's like a feast within a feast. feastception. ]

[lethechained]

[Her eyes start to turn his way when she realizes someone has chosen to sit by her, a faint hint of surprise in them that is soon replaced when she smiles.]

They really do. Even if I know I can have more than one thing, it's hard to choose where to start.

[One of the better kinds, maybe. Conversationally,]

What do you think you'll start with?

[considerate]

[ Touya's gaze stays focused on the various choices, before... ]

Maybe the desserts. If I start with the actual dinner first, I might not have any room for them in the end.

[lethechained]

The desserts? [She does not appear to have been expecting this. She's reminded of a memory of a memory about the unacceptability of sweets before dinner, but she experiences no proper outrage. Sora's mother would be ashamed of her--]

I guess that does make sense, but-- are they really so important?

[considerate]

[ time to show you the way of spoiling yourself, namine. ]

Well, think of it this way: You eat everything else first, but once you finish and it's time for desserts.. you're kinda full. Can you really enjoy the desserts if you're full? [ He picks a strawberry tart and holds it to her.] Here, try it.

[lethechained]

[That's definitely something she could use some instruction on.]

[She seems to consider the point for a moment, then, with a hint of lingering hesitation thanks to those same memories,] I guess that's true. [But though she pauses when offered the tart, after a moment she does reach out to take it.] I-- suppose it couldn't hurt. Thank you.

[Hisao is more than happy to eat at the banquet - He's a growing boy, after all, he has to eat whatever he can. He's trying as many unfamiliar dishes this evening as he can, trying to sample the tastes of Yggdrasil as well as other Traveler's worlds.]

[holyfight]

[Orihime is looking a little bit haggard today, as though she's not slept properly in a while. In fact, she's been keeping watch over Ichigo's comatose body for the past few days. But right now, she's loading down two plates, in the hopes that he'll wake up and eat. And if not, she can at least have something warm to eat for the holidays while he's asleep]

[trouser_chimp]

[Ritsu had been planning to avoid everyone, but he can't help but notice Orihime's slight sluggishness and tired body. Immediately, he begins putting all of his food back, because some people clearly need it more than others!]

[holyfight]

[staaaaaaaaare]

Ritsu-san? Are you okay?

Is the food bad?

[trouser_chimp]

I'm sorry for implying the food wasn't satisfactory! I haven't even had a taste of it yet! But I don't need it! You can have all of my food!

[holyfight]

Eh?

[thinking thinking... click!]

Are you saying I need it more than you?

Ehhhhhhhhhh!?! Do I look too skinny?!

[trouser_chimp]

I'm sorry for making you think you're as thin as a stick! I'm sorry for creating self doubt about your lovely appearance! I never should have thought anything about you! I shouldn't have even glanced in your direction! I'm not worthy to even know you! I'M SO SORRY!

[holyfight]

N-N-No, it's okay! I'm not offended or anything!

But you should eat, too! Don't put your food back!

[considerate]

[ just because he doesn't live in the Sigyn welcome hall anymore doesn't mean he isn't going to visit! of course he'll be here, content to see the hall again and familiarizing himself back with the Sigyn home. he's definitely going to be going around and saying hello to people.

once the banquet actually starts though, he'll take a seat anywhere and look on the food. they sure prepared something big for them, huh?

also don't be afraid if something rubs against your legs or feet. it might just be his Serperior slithering under the table to reach Touya's side.]

[teacuptarget]

[It's a party, and Gau really should be socializing more. But even though he's been on his own now for quite some time in Asgard, he still doesn't usually just go up to people in social situations like this, unless there's some reason. In fact, he's just as likely to watch others and wait to see how things go instead.

At the moment, he's sitting at the table with a plate of food, but he's also got a notebook on his lap, just like it were any other day and not some kind of gathering.]

[mustwefight]

One must socialize at a party.

[ Who is this girl and when did she slide in right next to him? We may never know, but she looks concerned. ]

Those are the rules.

[teacuptarget]

[Gau blinks in surprise, and then blushes, closes his notebook with a snap. He turns to look at the girl, obviously quite embarrassed, and then bows his head a little in apology.]

I'm sorry, I guess I was being a little rude.

[rocketpunches]

It is all right. I do not have the confidence to participate in a party myself. It is my first social gathering, you see. [ She looks away, shy to admit it. ] So I decided to approach you.

[teacuptarget]

Oh!

[Gau seems almost to gain confidence with the revelation himself.]

I'm glad you did approach me! I don't know everyone here yet, despite having been here for a while, because I'm a little shy myself. But it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Gau.

[rocketpunches]

It is a pleasure to meet you as well. I am Alisa. [ She extends a gloved hand to him. She's happy that he's happy! ] People must shake hands on their first meeting. Those are the rules... I think. It depends on your culture and personal preference.

[teacuptarget]

[He reaches out to grasp her hand - his grip a little firmer than it looks like it should be, for his appearance and demeanor - but he also bows over it as he shakes, just a little.]

Right, that's right. I guess I've gotten used to being a little too informal around here.

{Why does talking to girls make him so nervous?]

I think I've been a little anti-social, aside from the videos and things.
