( OOC: This is an open log, so feel free to thread jack and top level to your heart's content! Characters may join for every prompt or the select few they'd be interested in, assume the locations field contains a detailed timeline of where the crew will be and when. For the bar and clubbing prompt, characters ages 21+ only, please!

No one's actually getting married btw (probably), Elysium just wants an excuse to party. )

Comments

✉ — INQUIRIES AND CONCERNS.

[transmit]

[ Elysium will be fielding any and all of them unless you're Wriothesley! Characters can text or approach him at any point of the day here. ]

[hitokiller]

We got... We got enough for this, right?

( a nervous hand on elysium's back, as izou passes him around 4 PM-ish???. help. )

They're threatenin' to cut off the jacuzzi to anyone in "Rice-lee's" party.

[transmit]

[ He gives Izou's shoulder a solid grip and nods solemnly to instill confidence. They (Elysium) do(es) not have enough for this! But it's fine. They're fine.

This is a problem for future him. ]

Don't you worry about a thing! [ He alone shall shoulder the Burden of Debt. He winks. ] This bad boy's got it all covered.

[newphew]

What is this? Why is he partying?

[ what is a bachelor party.... why is wriothesley dating... and who... and why... ]

[transmit]

Why wouldn't we be partying and coming together in celebration of Wriothesley's love? Happiness is something that should be spread amongst us, that's all!

[ This probably doesn't help. ]

[Look, Elysium, you don't know this kid, but-- ?????]

Wrio-san is getting married? To who?

[transmit]

[ That's okay!! He did say everyone's welcome ]

That's a secret! But you don't need to know to join in on the fun time, do you?

[ Wriothesley's also not getting married, but anyway ]

[transmit]

This is a serious invitation for a serious event!

IN-FLIGHT AND OUT-OF-FLIGHT EXPERIENCES.

[transmit]

From 11AM — 1PM, the group can be found at Las Vegas's premier facility for all aero-related adventures! Want to fly a fighter jet? Ride a helicopter? Skydive from a helicopter? Now's your time!

Experience the thrill of a lifetime by soaring above the city, and feel the adrenaline rush through you as you leap from the skies and freefall through clouds! All rides require a minimum of two participants, and regardless of whether they opt for the media package or not, divers will receive token souvenirs of pictures and videos of their descent from the facility themselves, complimentary of Elysium.

[newphew]

[ okay hunter actually wants to do this so he's looking around for someone to go with him!!! ]

PARTY BUS.

[transmit]

How people get to the first venue is up to them, but for every location and onwards Elysium has lovingly rented a party bus. Delight in light snacks and/or drinks, and get to know your company! How are you related to the man of the hour, or are you perhaps just here to join in on a fun time? Because that's fine, too!

Feel free to denote at which point of the day your prompt takes if necessary. Available activities include cards, various boardgames, and karaoke. Characters are encouraged by Elysium to use these times to play various icebreakers, so feel free to assume he's spurred them on whichever way necessary since they are in an enclosed space, after all. There are also light and effect toggles that characters may play with to their fellow bus riders' expenses.

HOT TAKES.

[transmit]

What better way to spend our downtime than to get to know each other a little better? Let's talk about things we're particularly passionate about! I'll start.

Just because anything can be a weapon, it doesn't mean that they should be. If I catch anyone using a flag, they're on thin ice.

[ if this sounds weirdly personal, it is ]

karaoke;

[originbullets]

( Kiritsugu never knows how to interact at parties such as these, especially when surrounded by people he largely has not met. Despite this, he is an opportunistic man, happy to mooch off the provided free food and booze on the bus.

Unfortunately for everyone else, Kiri may have gotten a little too heavy handed with the alcohol, and selected a particular... slick, industrial goth rock beat to belch out onto the karaoke machine. )

♫ In the light of the fact
On the lone and level
Sands stretch far away
In the heat of the action
In the settled dust
Hold, hold and sway
In the meeting of mined
Down in the streets of shame
In the betting of names on gold to rust
In the land of the blind
Be...King, king, king, king ♫

( His singing voice isn't actually half bad! Pretty decent, even! But those lyrics, huh? They're certainly... intense? )

POOLSIDE LUNCH.

[transmit]

Once everyone has had their fill of aerodynamics and whether or not they'd joined the crew for their first of many party bus adventures, they'll arrive for their 1:30PM — 4:30PM reservation at one of the many resorts on the strip and escorted to a party area. Whether your character happens to be there intentionally or not, they're free to get swept up by the excitement here and join in.

Bathing suits can be purchased if your character doesn't already have one, with counter service available specifically for pool toy rentals.

On premise, characters will be able to get massages, do facemasks, and indulge in spa treatments. Their late lunch will include various cuisines and feature drinks both alcoholic & non-alcoholic as per Las Vegas standard. Otherwise, enjoy the calm before the storm by lounging by the poolside or in one of the bountiful jacuzzies.

[yuwon]

[ quietly sneaks this in here as it's the closest to singles inferno as we are going to get.

considering they're at the pool side, it only makes sense to take full advantage of it. to be honest, he wasn't accustomed to spending time with people in this type of capacity, so it's nice to have a bit of a break from it all (even if this break includes pondering on how elysium could afford all of this). even if this break including taking off his shirt and sliding into the water. or he's about to, but instead he pauses when he feels someone's presence beside him. ]

What? Did you want to go in first? [ he can help... ]

BAR & RECREATION ROOM.

[transmit]

At 5PM, it's dinner time! The first of two bars will be a casual affair with an adjoining recreation room.

Here, patrons will be able to find all the standard arcade games and recreational activities, such as pool, darts, axe-throwing, and foosball.

Exclusive to this particular venue will be a rage room where characters are encouraged to ventilate their frustrations by smashing as many material goods as they desire. For better or for worse, it boasts technology that allows characters to superimpose their most hated adversaries atop these objects—and, perhaps, is the venue's most advertised feature…

As there's plenty of time between this activity and the next, characters are free to wander around the area if they please and enjoy whatever else Las Vegas has to offer, so long as they return at 9:30PM for their final destination.

BAR 2.0 & CLUBBING!!!!

[transmit]

At 10PM, the real party begins.

The club they end up at will have dancers. The floor will be jampacked. With a DJ, fog machine, and strobe lights to ensure the night remains lively at all hours, guests can easily lose themselves into the rhythm.

Meanwhile, there'll be an exclusive room that the crew can retreat into for moments of intimacy and camaraderie, and to savour the night's festivities in their own sanctuary. With bottle service to keep their cups constantly topped up and to cater to their every need, the night promises to end on an unforgettable note!

As there's no designated end time for the party, the party bus will not be making a return to bring characters back to their hotels. How they return is entirely up to them—if they return at all.

PIZZA BOX.

[transmit]

[ Elysium holds up an empty pizza box with a single circle drawn in it. Inside of that, he's written in his name. ]

Has anyone ever played pizza box? We each write our names and take turns flicking a coin into the box. Everyone has two tries to land it in the box, and if it lands on a name, that person will have to take a shot. If they miss, they'll have to take the shot. Otherwise, if you manage to land on a blank spot, you're free to write down a rule that whoever lands on will have to follow, for example—

[ He jots in 'Do a couple shot with the first person your eyes fall on.' ]

Anyone else in?

[ Feel free to spin this roulette for your threads! Add to it as you will or just use this to get your characters to do things they wouldn't normally, anything goes. ]

Jailbreak

[bemist]

[ Who knows what time of night it actually is at this point? Who knows!

But at some point, there's a tall lady with a scarred face and (probably important) a huge-ass flesh sword clenched in one equally scarred hand. Either the guard decided it was not worth it to get her to check that at the door or the guard was someone she did not consider a problem.

Doesn't matter! What matters is-- ]

Which one of you is Wriothesley?

[ Her tone does not sound congratulatory, but it doesn't sound homicidal either, so it's probably fine? ]

EXCLUSIVE ROOM.

[hitokiller]

Hyahahah! Now this's what I call partyin'.

( izou will usher whoever's entering in with a hand, the room crowded with outsiders looking for an escape from the head-pounding music and blaring lights.

before this visitor can say anything, he points to six cups laying face down in front of him on a tray, a smug smirk plastered across a flushed face. )

C'mere. C'mere. How's 'bout we play a drinkin' game?

REPLY FOR: A RNG'd number of drinks that your character will have to drink based on the Kochi drinking game, Kikunohana, followed by a stupid question they have to answer (not truthfully, if you wish). It's a game where people flip cups as a group and the "winner" who discovers the flower under a cup has to drink for every cup that's been flipped, but in this instance, we will RNG for a number of cups flipped per individual.

wriothesley, wario, big w, business casual werewolf, mc slammer

[frostfist]

[ Here they are at this uncalled for bachelor party and here's the man of the hour himself, looking worse and worse for the wear the longer the day goes on. There's a little crown balanced precariously on his head that he keeps trying to offer to people - please get it off his hands - but somehow it always makes its way back? Cursed.

Anyway. Find him at the axe throwing range with an axe in his hands, thoughtfully staring at Elysium the whole time. Find him at the spa with a face mask on and some (probably genetically modified) little cucumber slices on his eyes. Catch him at the dart board throwing a dart with impressive accuracy.

Perhaps most importantly? Catch him trying to weasel his way out of the party at any possible opportunity, with excuses of needing to go to the bathroom, get some fresh air, or just plain straight-up saying he's going to leave. Unfortunately, Elsyium will be leashing him back every time. But you'll help him a little, won't you? 🥺

ooc: sorry this is the worst top level of all time, if you'd like something specific just lob one of the prompts/locations/activities at me and i'll write up something specific for us! ]

[likemybooks]

There's the man of the hour!

[Taryon finally manages to reach Wriothesley among the crowd of revelers at the axe throwing range. He has one of the easier weapons in his hand, and he stands between two neighboring stations.]

I never got to congratulate you, so...congratulations! [He throws his hands out, still holding the axe.] When's the wedding?

[lovebombing]

Sooooooo.

[Hi, guy. Here's a blue-haired man sidling up to you as soon as you're leaving. Really the same bad vibes as Elysium, honestly. Bad.]

You really were roped into this, huh.

[penaltypoints]

[ This day of exciting adventures may not be to Yesod's taste, but he suspected that his and Netzach's swapped avatars would call for an explanation sooner or later, especially after today. While he can't ask Netzach to change his behavior, he can remain at the ready to mitigate any confusion caused, and he has been trying to adjust his own behavior at least to avoid putting people off approaching Netzach in the future, once the avatar issue is corrected.

Thus, here he is to attend the celebration, long green hair tied into a neat ponytail. His attire, neither casual nor swimwear, is immaculate — every button is fastened, and despite nothing needing ironing, his garments appear perfectly pressed.

During one of Wriothesley's escape attempts, Yesod finds himself staring at the crown suddenly held out to him. He glances up from the item, questioning, his piercing gaze inevitably nothing like Netzach's customary demeanor. When he speaks, his voice is nothing like Netzach's breathy whisper, either, from its somewhat curt tone to its lower pitch. ]

...What should I do with this?
