NEW YEARS EVE FESTIVAL LOG (WOW GUYS, THIS TOTALLY ISN'T LATE OR ANYTHING...)

[asgardmods]

Who: Everyone!
What: New Years Eve! WUTWUT.
When: Err...New Years Eve. Wut...wut? (December 31st, Day 14, etc.)
Where: The Castle Plaza
Rating: Worksafe. If this changes, PLEASE INFORM THE MODS.

[Look down. Now back up! Where are you? You're in the Castle Plaza, with the Gods your Gods could God like.

[Lively, pleasant music hangs in the air around you as fireworks explode in the sky above. There is a tempting aroma teasing at your nostrils. Where is it coming from? Those long tables at the center of the plaza, overflowing with food you love. Craving anything from home? You'll be sure to find it there.

[Look around you. What do you see? Carnival games. Hundreds of Carnival games, including a dunk tank, and all for free! Carnival games not your thing? Why not give the dance floor a try? That music is awfully catchy, and just look at all those stunning lights!

[Enjoy yourselves, travelers. A New Year is upon us.]

[Conan nodded, offering with the diffidence of someone who doesn't care but feels he should ask:]

Do you want to sit somewhere we can watch the dancing?

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

Oh - y-yeah, sure. [She leads the way, having spent some time over there before. Oddly enough, the very mention of dancing makes her blush furiously and stutter a bit, but she says nothing about it.]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[Conan notes the blushing with indulgence ... girls. Still, it will be interesting to see who dances what and with who.]

This looks like a good spot!

[Seems the gods anticipated spectators -- there's even chairs here!]

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

[You'll have to excuse her, Conan, she had her first slow dance and is still reeling over it a little bit. In fact, there's a slow song on when they arrive, and she can barely look. But she does sit, fidgeting a little.]

There's more people out there now. I was here earlier, and almost everyone was around the edges.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[Here earlier? That puts a different perspective on things. Conan looks at Nakama with new interest.]

Did Nakama-neechan have someone to dance with?

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[She hesitates, then exhales. A shy smile eases onto her face.] Okay, then. If you're sure. [If she actually had much of an ego, she'd probably be embarrassed about needing help, but as it is, she's only appreciative. She turns to the prizes and looks them over, tilting her head one way, then the other, before finally deciding on a stuffed rabbit with long, floppy ears. It was the ears that sold her on it. It's much smaller than the one he got, but it still manages to cover a large portion of the girl's torso when she holds it.] --! It's really soft.

[broduil]

Heh, I thought as much. There was another young lady earlier with a similar reaction to yours. [ and really, it's no burden on him to take five minutes to make someone else happy. ] This should only take a moment.

[ in the end, he decides on the ring toss-- though a rather unusual application of his skill, he has a good throwing arm and accuracy to spare, so it's with relative ease that he conquers the game. he doesn't chose a prize right away, though, instead waving nakama over. ]

Come over here and choose something you like. It would be unfortunate if I selected something unfitting for you, after all.

[ and considering the e rank luck of his class... that's a pretty likely outcome. ]

Wiiiiide OPEN!

[Well, if there is something that Terra remembers about what he has been taught about formal events, it's that hanging around the food table is one of the best ways to avoid awkward situations.

Here he is now, walking along the table, inspecting the different dishes, but not choosing anything just yet. He's not in any hurry to leave after all.]

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

Um. Yeah. I met a girl named Rikku, and my friend Jr. was here. [Her hands tightening into a knot in her lap.] It was... well, I'd never danced much before, but it was... fun.

[Awkward. It was awkward.]

[sora-wo-koete.livejournal.com]

[ Normally, Chihaya would have refused, but her curiosity proves stronger here. ]

Oh? -- sure. Um, thank you.

[ She takes the pick with her free hand and pops the takoyaki ball into her mouth, munching with a look of concentration on her face- and then her eyes light up in surprise. ]

... it's good...! I had no idea anyone knew how to make takoyaki here--

[makestrouble.livejournal.com]

It's not bad!

[Helen, it's bad manners to speak while chewing on apple. But does she care? ...Not really.]

I've never even seen this much food before. It's pretty impressive.

[There's so much. She might even try and eat three apples today!]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Ah, Junior-niichan! He's my friend too!

[Nakama and Junior? Well, he was nice enough -- it'd be easy enough to get a crush on him. And Nakama was about the age that the girls in his class started giggling mysteriously and Ran had got exceedingly grumpy whenever he forgot they were hanging out ... Conan mentally shrugged. Soccer had been (and still was) more interesting.]

[broduil]

[ okay, that's kind of cute. he's glad now. ]

A wise choice-- I daresay such a creature suits you, Miss. [ far more than it'd suit him, anyway... not that a giant bear is much more manly, but he can at least pretend. ] Be careful not to misplace it during the remainder of the festival.

[sora-wo-koete.livejournal.com]

[ Chihaya slips into her lineface without really noticing, but she's going to try to be polite nonetheless ]

[ - AFTER taking that waffle ]

... good evening, Kaz.

[orphean]

[She notices, but her expression doesn't budge. Minako just keeps smiling, pleasant. After talking to both Minato and Ryoji, she can understand the situation more clearly - so while it's not ideal, and she doesn't necessarily like some aspects of it, she knows to make the best of it.]

There's a stand not far from here. [She grins though, holding the boat out to Yukari.] You should at least have one, though! It's delicious.

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

[She's really just discovering boys, but she's getting a bit ahead of herself - her body and her emotions are reacting strangely to closeness, but her mind doesn't yet know why. So if she were asked about crushes on any of her male friends, she'd sputter out an indignant no, and it would be perfectly honest. All she knows is that something is different, and it's making some of her new friendships uncomfortable.

And that leads her to share with Conan a smile full of such warmth that it may confuse him without context. At least he's uncomplicated.]

Jr. is nice. He's really understanding and patient. And Rikku is so cheerful and carefree, it's hard not to be in a good mood with her.

[defiesfinality.livejournal.com]

I didn't either! I found a box of these at the table, so I couldn't pass it up. It looked like they had every food in the world back there.

[He'll put the box of goods on the bench, but not before grabbing another one.] Nice show, huh? It's the first time in a while that I've seen fireworks.

[makestrouble.livejournal.com]

Hope you're not planning on drinking that all yourself.

[Helen grins, sitting down. She places her Claymore beside her, up against the chair. That sword never leaves her side, even at parties.]

[makestrouble.livejournal.com]

[OH HEY KAZ. He might want to look out for that apple that is currently flying towards his head. The one who threw it isn't too difficult to spot, grinning and trying very hard not to laugh.]

[machinajackass.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't change anything.

And now as he hit the last target, he wins the game. And his prize? Well, it's obvious by what he received (http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00FeBTMyZUkjkY/Plush-Bear-With-Pink-Little-Toy-New-Stuffed-Cotton-Inside-Measures-26cm.jpg)that the guy knew he was playing to win Rikku something.]

[ sdkgsk NO EURI COME BACK ]

Hey--!

[parasiteye.livejournal.com]

[ sdkjghskds that's...it entirely, pretty much LOL ]

[parasiteye.livejournal.com]

Hey~ Didn't think I'd see you here. They really let little kids come to these things?

[parasiteye.livejournal.com]

[ dkjfsk NOPE HE JUST GETS HIT BY IT. But he does whirl around and see Helen looking far too pleased and growls in anger ]

Hey--!!

[powerforfriends.livejournal.com]

[She is not the only one to take note of the fruit.

Terra is pretty surprised to see it actually; though now that he's looking he recognizes several of the dishes to be from some of the worlds he has visited, including certain special sorts of ice cream.

Still, he can't help but reach for the star shaped fruit and smile fondly at the memory of the small world it came from.]

Never thought I'd find those here...
