Pimp My Party -- Royalty Style


A few weeks prior to December 26th, an invitation went out to all whom already reside in Cerealia. In delicate, curling script, it read: You are cordially invited by Natalia L.K. Lanvaldear to a Winter Ball to be held on the Eve of December 26th in the Gardens. Dress in your best attire and enjoy a magical evening of dance and fine cuisine. What do you mean we should fuss about worlds being destroyed? Get into the holiday spirit, you scrooge!

And in regards to the new-comers: whether you have been wandering Cerealia over the course of the past few days and managed to receive one of the later waves of invitations or have simply suddenly appeared in the gardens with nothing but the (hopefully…. appropriate….) clothes on your back, welcome. The gardens have been transformed through the work of slave labor condoned by royalty incredibly talented volunteers. A buffet line possibly a mile long, a sprawling dance floor with temporary wood placement to cover the grass, a lovely orchestra with scheduled interruptions of magic shows on the stage, and the entire thing lit gently with lights stretch the span of the main area of the garden. Not too far off, there are ponds and pathways that take you elsewhere into the foliage, but why would you go that way? The party’s right here!
"Good evening, everyone!! Whether you are new to Tellus or old, I hope to find you in good spirits.

Mind you, I do not intend to ignore the blunders of CERES nor the grave situation that new-comers have found themselves faced with. However I assure you that at this time, surrounded by these people, you are in good company. Please, dine and be merry - I believe some worlds celebrated a holiday yesterday! Get to know one another so we may strengthen our ties and stand firm against whatever this world may throw against us!

Also try the salmon, it's absolutely divine. . . . How do I turn this off...? Should I just walk away?"

//SCENARIOS.EXE
PHASE I
[ xx:xx ] Like any respectable ball, your entrance is announced as you walk right into the party! What do you mean you wanted to slip in unnoticed? That simply won’t do. Natalia managed to rope in someone – is that a Tellus native? – to do the honor of acknowledging your character as they make their debut to the ball. This guy is under strict orders to not miss a single soul. If your character doesn’t give him a name and title ahead of time, then he’ll just make something up. Think along the lines of Broseidon McSnootyname, Duke of Erectile Dysfunction-- What do you mean that’s not your name?
PHASE II
[ xx:xx ] Absolutely no expense was spared when it came to making sure that the food here was the best that money could buy (or threats could extort). Guests can select from a menagerie of main dishes from all sorts of cultures, adorable desserts that look like woodland creatures alongside towering cakes, and even those fruity drinks with the little umbrellas on them. Pig out, you animals – but there’s also a wide selection of fine wine if your tastes and curiosities wander off in that direction…. What even is the drinking age in Tellus? Remember, folks, drink (ir)responsibly.
PHASE III
[ xx:xx ] Well, it is a ball. If you’re interested in proper, classical styles of dance, there’s certainly an orchestra that’s dominating most of the night. One of their songs may or may not sound familiar. Spin around in your flurry of skirts and do the fairy tale thing if that’s what you came here for. Romance, or whatever. Waltz your heart out and don’t forget to point your toes!

… that said, there’s also a separate sound system not too far, prepared in case the orchestra might want a break. It’s also not being watched too closely. Maybe put on something to liven up the dance floor? Or did someone ruin your fantasy by putting on something unbearably inappropriate?
PHASE IV
[ xx:xx ] The gardens really are beautiful. Spread throughout the area and more toward the outskirts of the party, there are plenty of beautiful fountains with glittering, crystal clear water. In fact, it’s so clear that you can spot the occasional alien life form flitting through it amidst the lily pads and gently sweeping foliage. It’s so graceful, what beauty! Look at how it rises to the water and gently opens its mouth into a yawn and—tries to chomp anything within range right off with razor sharp teeth what the fuck, whatthefuck.

It would appear that's not all, though. Whether you're ready to fight the creature or run screaming, you feel something slowly slide and curl around your arm or your ankle. Look on in horror as you turn your head and realize that it seems that the nearby tree has grown rather fond of you very quickly, to the extent that it will reach out and lovingly wrap its hentai tentacles around you.... Brings a whole 'nother meaning to 'tree hugger', doesn't it?
BONUS
[ why:o'clock ] Are you lost? Did you try to catch your breath away from the party and start to wander off despite all the cautioning not to? Or maybe you were trying to leave and took a wrong turn? Either way, you seem to have only found yourself deeper in the gardens now. Try not to breathe too deeply or… at all. If you can’t manage that though, it appears that you’ve stumbled upon the hallucinogenic plants of the garden. You start to see things that aren’t there – though whether you suddenly find yourself in a den of cougars lions or think that the person standing next to you is the biggest, cuddliest pile of adorable puppies in the world depends on the person. Hope you have a good trip, bruh.

[Phase I]

["Presenting Teruteru Hanner- er, Terrter - erm -
The Sovereign of Chefs,
this guy!"

Well, that's definitely not how the little cook wanted to be introduced. Like, at all. He would have stopped to chew out the guy doing introductions, but it's too late - he's already ushered into the ball, out of reach of the poor native who is probably hated by everyone at this point. Man if Teruteru isn't huffy about this, though. At least he made sure his outfit is on point, but really, who let him dress himself for this...]


Tsk... He could have at least tried.

[Phase II]

[Honestly, if you didn't expect him to be inspecting all the food offered at this ball, then you clearly don't know him very well. So he's got himself a little plate loaded with goodies that he's munching on, as he flits around to make sure the rest of the food is well prepared. There's a few approving nods from him, too! Which is, you know, rare.
Honestly, he's just glad it all looks handmade and not like it was plucked off of a conveyor belt in some processing plant. That's what matters first and foremost!!]


[Phase III]

[Dancing! How romantic! Couples hand in hand, arm to hip, as they sway together rhythmically; a display of affection only matched by what they do behind closed doors -

And yet, Teruteru's just going to be... y'know, over here. Pretending the whole dancing thing isn't something that's happening at this ball.
You'd think an attractive urbanite like himself would want to partake, but no - he seems to be avoiding it all together...
Of course, he can always be asked despite it!! Just, y'know. Mind your feet.]

[Ah... Well, in all honesty, Tenka is just about ready to leave even though it's ridiculously early into the ball. This fuddy duddy just really isn't meant for the ball scene, despite all the efforts to to dress him up tonight. So he's hanging around the entrance, hands in his pockets when he overhears the issue....

And hums vaguely when he hears the other seem put out by it. Cue his tendency to be way too invested in other people's happiness as he looks over to the other - apparently blind to the fashion faux pas - and offers a grin.]


How do you say your name?

[- Whoa, now, this guy's definitely a looker. Don't mind the little chef straightening his suit while answering, just gotta look his best, y'know.]

Teruteru Hanamura - in Western order, anyway.
But you can call me stud, if you'd like!

[That's coupled with a wink. Sorry not sorry.]
sunshrouded: (☀ i just walked into the party)

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-04-25 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . . ahah, he's just going to laugh a bit, amused as everything goes over his head. Why would he call you stud? What a funny kid.]

They botched that up? Man, no respect!

Do you like the repetition or can I just call you Teru-kun?
bozu: (Soak 8 wooden skewers)

Yeah man, what's up with that? They got my last name right.

[But yet, they couldn't say Teruteru's.]

Looking pretty slick, dude. Where'd you get the threads?
bozu: (for science)

Is your name really that difficult to pronounce? [ And here's a female teenage girl who's dressed in a beige suit tilting her head slightly as she watched him. ]
bozu: (teruteru doesnt use recipes tho)

[ --Jesus H Christ talk about a blast from the past. Yuyuko outright starts choking on the food she'd been devouring and has to set her plate down for a moment to rub her eyes. To make sure this was real.

She'd considered herself lucky that she hadn't had the misfortune of running into any of the other people from Season 7. There were too many bad memories. But evidently Naegi's bad luck is contagious and here she is, great. ]


Hanam... [ her voice trails off, disbelieving ]

Oi, Hanamura.

[Hinata will come along to greet him, recognisable little figure he is and that... sure is an outfit but anyway. It isn't a surprise at all to find him at the food table, and Hinata right now is without a plate.]

How is it? [He figures he'll know best...]
bozu: (so whos sleeping with the dark lord)
