[closed-ish] Signs of love overshadowed by dreams
Who: Everyone who signed up for speed-dating/speed-friending! (and maybe some people who just wander in?)
When: IC Date: 6/9
Where: A large booth at the CERES Academy cultural festival
What: Rise's holding a special event to help bring people together at the cultural festival! This may be chaotic
Rating/Warning: N/A thus far! Rise with a megaphone might be a warning though...
[The cultural festival at the school has been in full-on planning mode for a few weeks. Rise is no exception to the planning and included in the flyers that have gone up is a notice printed on bright pink paper and bold lettering for a very special event.
The booth itself has been set up with a small cluster of tables to accommodate for the amount of people who have been signed up and even for a few last-minute sign-ups. The tables themselves have been decorated with special candles and a tray containing two bowls, two spoons, and a a tray with all the ingredients needed for an ice cream sundae.
At the front of the booth is a collection of heart-shaped name tags with all of the names of each individual whose signed up, along with a number attached. Rise will smile at each person, handing both the name tag and a small envelope to them with instructions not to open it until she says so.
It’s only when everyone has arrived and is crowded inside the booth that she pulls out a megaphone (and really, who gave her that?) and she turns it on.]
Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Cerealia School Speed-Matching event! Meeting people can be really hard here, but don’t worry, we’re making it easy! You’ll see that the tables all have numbers assigned to them. On my count, open your envelopes and see who you’re starting with. When the bell rings, switch partners! Seems pretty simple, huh?
[Nobody gets to get a say in this apparently, but they may see one Yu Narukami who’s sitting on the table behind Rise just watching everyone casual as can be. Why is he wearing glasses? Who knows.]
Okie dokie! Let’s get this show on the road! On your mark…get set…open!
[Hope you’re ready, colonists. Inside each envelope is a starter number for the first match, and also a list of starter questions for asking people about themselves. Some people have lists corresponding with the speed dating route, while others are for the “friends only” route. But wait…what’s that? Some of those lists are crosswired? Your character would try to mingle with everybody and flirt anyway? Well hey. At least people will be talking and mingling.
Oh, and don’t mind the people who may wander in and out of the event. Rise will try to moderator the event to her best ability but hey, she’s pretty social herself. Some people are bound to slip in and out under her watch. Have fun! And remember, beware of the bell! (Or Rise announcing "SWITCH" in a loud voice via megaphone, same thing.)]
[ooc: Hello everyone, welcome to the speed-friending/dating event! Thank you to everyone who signed up; above you’ll see a list of people and numbers for you to pick from! Pick your number and your friend/date by visiting the number generator to randomly pick a number to match your character with! Feel free to post top-levels inviting others to just tag in or tag around, too, without using the RNG.

[Nodding along, since he wouldn't be the first person Kashuu's met who's apparently very used to being uprooted. As for the question:]
Mm, that's part of it! It's nice and peaceful, but I like cities a little better. But since the forest is where the Citadel is, it's filled with my comrades and my master, so it's my favorite place to be.
[A SAP.]
no subject
[Ryuuga's smirk is tinged with a bit of regret at that - things would be so much easier if at least one of his comrades (or even superiors, in the case of Ryume) were here as well. As much as he was used to working alone all those years before going to Vol City, even now it felt strange not having someone there to work with him directly.
Like Rian.]
no subject
[Just by virtue of making things a little less lonely, anyway, or a little more familiar. He's never been by himself from the very first moment he arrived, and he's realizing now that it's something of a blessing, even if the constant coming and going of his comrades has begun to wear on him.]
I wonder what their plan is for restoring stuff, though. Like... If they're really trying to save every code from every world, there's no way we'd all fit in this little bubble, yeah?
no subject
[He nods. The only one from his world so far has been his greatest enemy to date, but he's been able to make friends quick enough to help mitigate that. The fact that Jinga can't really do much of anything outside needling him probably helps, too.
Hopefully that sticks.
At this point, Ryuuga's already starting to dig into his sundae, and he has to think about that second half, looking pensive while with a spoon hanging out of his mouth. After a moment, he takes it out and twirls the spoon between his fingers before replying:]
Good question. There's a lot of what they're doing that's going over my head, but I can't help but get a bad feeling from it. I don't know if it's from past experience or what, but there's a lot that feels ... wrong. And honestly I can only count a few instances where that kind of gut feeling's been wrong.
no subject
[Which Kashuu has definitely found irritating on more than one occasion... But it's not like stealth or intel-gathering are in his strength, so he always leaves that to someone else.]
And we already know they've lied before, and even if they didn't do any of that, they treat a lot of what we go through here as totally trivial no matter who or what gets hurt. Not exactly top-tier leadership.
