( 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. )

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 ]

[frostfist]

[ you know who else is on thin ice..................... ]

[transmit]

[ THIS IS HOW REAL FRIENDSHIP HAPPENS ]

[lovebombing]

Allllright, who used a flag and made you salty, sir?

you ever just misread an entire tag so badly don't look at me

[transmit]

[ oooh boy ]

Oh, I wish it were just a who and a flag. Some people have no idea how to treat their equipment!

ITS OKAY IT HAPPENS

[lovebombing]

Huh. You ARE passionate about it!

So flags should just stand pretty, huh.

[transmit]

Of course. As a host, isn't it only natural that I take the lead and set a good example?

[ And that includes putting his pet peeve out there for everyone to see… ]

But yes and no. [ Sampo didn't have to put it like that, even if he gets why and sighs. ] It's about what they represent. And just so we're clear, we're not strictly talking about emergencies here, you know?

[lovebombing]

Ah, so you believe in their symbolism. I see. That's rather sentimental of ya! It's cute.

1/2

[transmit]

[ ……….

only he gets to go aw, how cute at other people ]

[yuwon]

[ ... ]

If it does the job, does it really matter what it is? [ though, a weapon's balance is important and so he can see why that would be a personal pain, but he's not focusing on that right now. ]

[transmit]

[ !!! 💢💢💢 ]

Yes? [ IT DOES… ] Even if it's sized appropriately to be used as one, you wouldn't just use any electronic device or instrument, would you?

[yuwon]

[ he has to deliberate over this for a few seconds, before: ]

I choose my weapons carefully, but it doesn't mean I expect the same of others. To be blunt, isn't that entirely up to them? [ unless he needed them to fulfill a certain purpose... ] It sounds like you're a little too invested.

[transmit]

[ yuwon… why are your party vibes like this ]

Just as it's entirely up to me to judge them for it. [ ugh!! He knows he's invested, okay… ] We're trying to get to know each other right now, you know? It's not like I'll go up to any of them and force them to choose a new one.

Even if I wish I could.

[yuwon]

[ party vibes...? what's that? ]

Are you really that forceful? [ ... wait, didn't he force this bachelor party on wrio? ] Actually, on second thought, I could see it.

[enkefailin]

Things we're passionate about...?

I don't think I have anything.

[unfortunately for the existing chaos of this party-- local box boy has a problem. malkuth almost did all their maintenance right, but when reassembling... somehow their cloaking avatar data got swapped over, so this is in fact netzach's voice coming out of yesod's avatar. swapsies.]

[transmit]

[ ???

Elysium, who has no clue that the boxes are boxes: ❓ ]

… Guys? Am I starting to hear things already? I've barely even drank.

[enkefailin]

Are you already that far gone, man...?

[sorry, but he cannot resist the call of messing with him for a minute.]

[transmit]

… Is a voice synthesizer one of your capabilities?

[ So, he doesn't know the boxes are boxes, per se… all he knows is that Yesod's some form of machine. At least, it makes more sense than them switching frames entirely?? ]

That's Netzach, isn't it? [ If nothing else, he has a good ear for these things. ] I didn't know you guys knew each other. Then again, I do suppose one of the descriptions you mentioned of your colleagues could apply to him, so I shouldn't be all that surprised.

[ hopefully he doesn't mind being called an alcoholic, ]

[enkefailin]

[oh no. this gives netzach the funniest opportunity and he WILL take it.]

Remind me what that description was, again?

[frostfist]

[ this is so fucking jarring. ]

You don't happen to have a twin somewhere, do you?

[ WHY DO YOU SOUND LIKE THE GREEN-HAIRED ONE? ]

[enkefailin]

Nah. Never had a twin in my life.

[SORRY TO WRIO TOO...]

[frostfist]

[ what da hell...... ]

You just sound an awful lot like someone else around here.

[enkefailin]

It's pretty funny, right?

[he should maybe be more concerned about this situation, and yet.]

S'just me. Our avatars got swapped around somehow in maintenance.

karaoke;

[problemagus]

( 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? )
