[open] party @ my house

Who: Anyone!
When: Prrrobably fast forward to the evening of 11/22
Where: Ayumu Narumi's apartment
What: City-wide meeting
Rating/Warning: There shouldn't be any. Please let me know if there's anything that needs to be f-locked so I can change this accordingly.




[ Whether it was through Oz or Ayumu, or possibly an anonymous tip-off or some other, you were invited to a small gathering! Of course, the only ones invited are non-natives to the city.

It's probably strange to be invited to a stranger's apartment, but Ayumu didn't want anyone who shouldn't be involved to listen in on what they were talking about. Had it been at a public place, that could have happened. And besides, having people over for a very serious reason also gave him a very serious reason to cook. There was a pretty wide variety of food, from finger food, pasta, meat, rice, and some desserts. He was particularly good at cooking that the people who usually ate his food back at home wanted to marry him, but whether or not you'd find his cooking delicious is up to you.

Ayumu welcomes anyone to enters most likely wearing an orange apron and a spatula on his hand. The first thing he tells anyone who enters is to remove their shoes and leave them by the door. He's got everything ready, and his apartment looks comfortable enough. There might not be enough chairs, but he set up some mats on the floor for people to sit on. His living room/receiving area was right across his dining room, so there was ample space for all his guests.

Once there's a good number of people around, he calls everyone's attention. ]


Right.

My name's Narumi, and this is probably going to be the last time you'll see me. [ Socialising is hard. ]

I arrived here just before Halloween. I want to know about the strange things that have happened before I arrived. From my experience, there might be a pattern to these disruptions. The CEO apparently dismisses these as "glitches." The ghosts and people losing a sense or their entire body is one.

New people usually arrive every two weeks, but there weren't any lately. They should have arrived the past week. A disruption was probably supposed to happen, too, but it didn't. I don't know if this is another "glitch" or not, but it's definitely a change from what you'd probably call "the usual".

If anyone who has been here longer can talk about past "disruptions", then the floor is yours. Knowing when and how long they happened would be good to know too. If we can at least figure this out, then we'd be able to have less casualties. I'm sure at least one person here in this room has died in this place already.

I also probably wouldn't talk about what happens here through those devices they gave us. It'll help to be careful.



Note: City-wide meeting mingle GO. Feel free to make your own top-level comments, and you are more than welcome to threadhop! INTERRUPT YATA WHILE HE'S TALKING, GO. Actually, don't do that.

Talk about Serious Things, or whatever you feel like your character would contribute! If your character wouldn't speak in front of everyone, that's fine too. Anything goes! No breaking of furniture or else Housewife Ayumu will get very angry. His room is also off-limits, and so his his spare bedroom. If anyone would like to notice his interior, there's practically two flower vases in each room, decorated with irises and lilies of the valley. There's also a keyboard somewhere in the living room. The instrument, not the gadget.

If anyone wants to play around with the idea of stirring up trouble, please assume that Ayumu will throw a slipper at any troublemaker's head.

[SNORT. Okay yeah, maybe he deserved that. But he waves a hand first because-]

A lot. But can I get your name first?

[is he really here to learn things or just make friends]
psycholawgy: (revolution!)

Athena!

[ She gives him a peace sign along with her introduction. ]
sunshrouded: (☀ THAT PROOF MEANS NOTHING)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-14 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . ????]

Athena....-two?

[Mirroring the peace sign!

What does that mean.]
psycholawgy: (revolution!)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-14 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ What?

Tilts her head to a side. ]


No, just Athena!

[ BUT. PEACE SIGN. AGAIN! ]
sunshrouded: (☀ did i hear you correctly)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-14 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[AGAIN?!]

Ah- okay, Athena-chan!

[ . . . . uh but. Mirroring her headtilt.] Do you like the number two then?
psycholawgy: (genki lawyer-chan)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-14 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no! [ She shakes her head as she says so. ] It's a peace sign.
sunshrouded: (☀ this is a mass text)

[ . . . . ? Tenka looks down at his own two fingers then, confused.]

Just this gesture is meant to represent 'peace'?
psycholawgy: ([muffled op song in the distance])

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-15 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, exactly!

[ THUMBS UP. ]

Do you know what this is?
sunshrouded: (☀ our party was the most epic party)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-15 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, he's seen that around more often and he's mimicking the gesture anyway!]

Your thumb!!

[ . . . . no tenka, it means something]
psycholawgy: (i'm all about that bass)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-15 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ She shakes her head as she laughs. ]

Not just a thumb. It's a thumbs UP. It means approval.
sunshrouded: (☀ i just walked into the party)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-23 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Ah.....

[And then he nods in response before giving her a thumbs up, more sure of himself!]

Great explanation then, Athena-chan!
psycholawgy: (we'll slap her with a wet fish)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-23 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ GREAT. YES. Now he gets TWO thumbs up. ]

Good job!!

[ And now she gives him two thumbs down. ]

This is the opposite. It's when you don't like something. You can even do something like—[ makes a raspberry sound. ]—to go along with it.

[ Athena Cykes, teaching the important things in life. ]
sunshrouded: (☀ booze all around!!)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-03-23 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . and that just manages to get him to throw his head back in laughter, loud and bright.]

Bahahahaha!! Got it, got it! That's like something my little brothers would do.

You're a good teacher, Athena-chan!
psycholawgy: (kiss kiss fall in love)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-24 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, thank you!

[ Hello, raised ego. ]

I think I'm just good with people. That's all there is to it, really!
