OPEN; THE NEIGHBORS CLUB WELCOMING PARTY

[mishaps]

Who: Anyone interested in attending the party announced a few days ago. Hosts of the party include Kodaka (mishaps), Sena (meatshields), & Yozora (playerkills). This also includes those who signed up for the speed friend making activity and other club members! Anyone who is even slightly interested in the club may post in the log (but please, only those who signed up for speed friending event participate in it!)
What: The Neighbors Club is having a welcoming party/practice party! Hooray for activities and welcoming back Kodaka to the club. Please ignore my fail of typing the event as speed dating as it is speed "friending" my bad!
When: A few days after it the initial party announcement post.
Where: The Neighbors Club Room located in Sigyn.
Rating: PG-13 AFAIK!


[Kodaka had left most of the event planning to Yozora and Sena as it was actually something that kept them busy. Kodaka knows when those two are idle and bored, bad things happen and they just end up fighting. He's actually surprised how much Yozora has taken this party thing seriously... and he's still shocked that it's technically meant for him. He's had birthdays with family members and school members, sure, but nothing like this; he's never had friends throw a party for him. He assumes Yozora throws the party for practice mostly, though.

He places a tray of onigiri (with various stuffings such as salmon, chicken, and picked vegetables.) down on a table next to a bowl of punch. There are cups and plates also on the table. He hasn't made this much food since he was back at home, and he actually doesn't mind. It's something for him to do, and without school and Kobato around, it feels like chunk of his life is missing.

He looks at his bracelet and realizes people should start coming in soon.]

[giver]

See any girls you like here?

[survived]

I haven't really thought about it. Is that something you're interested in?

[giver]

Is that something you're not interested in?

[survived]

I've never really had much interest in it, no.

[giver]

Boys, then?

[survived]

It's nice to meet new people, but I don't connect well with strangers. I care a lot about my mother and Safu, and they're both girls.

I guess you could say that I like a lot of people here, both boys and girls.

[Normal conversation!!!!]

[giver]

I see.

Is Safu your girlfriend? [ free game?? ]

[survived]

No, but she's a very important person to me.

[giver]

Is she here?

[ an afterthought: ] And is she around my age?

[survived]

No, she's....

[A pause.]

She's 16, and back home. Nezumi is the only one from home here with me.

[giver]

Is Nezumi a girl? [ laser focus ]

[survived]

No, he's a boy, and the person most important to me.

[Not getting it.]

[giver]

Boys, then. [ a somewhat shrug ]

If you meet any nice girls, you should introduce them to me.

[survived]

[Again, not getting it.]

Wouldn't it be better for you to introduce yourself to them?

[giver]

Certainly.

But if you know girls that I don't know, isn't it the polite thing to do for you to introduce them to me, rather than I intrude upon them?

[survived]

I've never thought of it that way before....

[giver]

It's just a matter of etiquette.

If I knew any boys for you, before you met Nezumi, I would have introduced you to them.

[survived]

I appreciate it, but why only boys?

I've known Nezumi for over four years.

[giver]

If I'd known you five years ago, then.

I'm sure you and Nezumi are very happy together now. Congratulations.

[survived]

Why only five years ago? Is there a reason that you're unable to introduce them to me now?

[HE'S SO LOST.]

Are congratulations really in order in a situation like this?

[A pause.]

Thank you.

[giver]

You really are someone who'll go along with the flow, aren't you?

[survived]

I don't know about that. I try to adapt as quickly as I can but it can be a difficult thing to do.

[No, Shion....]

[giver]

Going to school with someone like you would have been nice.

I could have copied my answers off you in between classes.

[survived]

You wouldn't learn anything that way.
