01. VENUE
Fitting its title as the largest karaoke venue on the block, Sakura Serenade offers a spacious, vibrant setting perfect for large gatherings. Dazzling with customisable LED lighting and cutting-edge projection technology, they work in tandem to sync with music to create a dynamic and immersive atmosphere.
Seating is luxurious, with plush wraparound couches providing ample space for everyone to lounge comfortably. A central open floor invites guests to dance, while barstools and cocktail tables along the perimeter offer spots for mingling and conversation.
The song library is seemingly infinite, featuring tracks from every genre imaginable with subtitles in countless languages. Have a song that "doesn't exist"? No problem. Guests can upload their custom tracks directly via their implants, ensuring no melody is left unheard.
For those seeking a quieter retreat, Sakura Serenade also features smaller, private rooms equipped with their own karaoke machines, ideal for more intimate and reflective moments as the night winds down.02. "CHAMPAGNE" TOWER
Upon entering the venue, guests are greeted by an impressive "champagne" tower, sparkling under the glow of ambient lighting. A neatly designed placard stands prominently at the base, declaring in bold letters: "Take one!", with a smaller, playful note beneath: "Or as many as you'd like."
What sets these glasses apart from the usual drinks served at the bar is their origin. The "champagne" is actually a special regain from Yuwon's (yuwon) world, perfect for guests who typically can't get intoxicated by regular alcohol or those with an uncanny tolerance. Have fun!
03. THE GREAT WALL OF POCKY
As per the birthday girl's request (well, not quite, but a certain someone has chosen to interpret it this way), nearly every flavour of Pocky imaginable has been gathered here today, all neatly arranged in rows and columns on a table at the side.
Yes, they're from the batch you're thinking about. Whether your character has caught on to their effects by now or prefers to believe they're from a fixed batch, that's entirely up to you to decide. But what better time to partake in a round of a Pocky game or two? The robot staff seem to support it as one of the host-sanctioned activities, and will even offer an explanation on how to play.04. AFTERMATH
Guests have the freedom to decide how they'd like to end their evening, whether that means stretching out on the floor for a spontaneous slumber party or taking advantage of the venue's connections with nearby hotels. The options range from luxurious accommodations to more colourful establishments, catering to a variety of budgets.
The night is yours to enjoy, and the journey home can be as adventurous as the party itself! With all the seasonal decorations now beautifully illuminated, there's plenty to marvel at along the way.( much thanks to abbie, bijou, and chrissy for ideas !! )

...Very well. Proceed as you please.

anyway, please hold as elysium's eyes light up with ocular usage, expression focused as he presumably scrolls through catalogues and catalogues of clothing. all things considered, he finishes up pretty quickly, brimming with self-satisfied energy. in and out, it takes several minutes at most, like he'd been planning this for some time.. ]
The stuff should arrive in about………… an hour!
[ if in current day we can get groceries delivered to our door within the hour, getting clothes delivered should be just as feasible… ]
Until then, how about we say it's your turn?
no subject
What will you choose in the meantime?
no subject
Obviously, dare!
no subject
You mentioned that you would show me "the full package" to prove that you seem intimidating then.
[ Unless that would be too uncomfortable and out of place here, even as a brief demonstration? ]
no subject
Are you sure you're ready for that, bro? Ready, ready? I say this for your sake, not mine.
[ no he
seems to be perfectly at home still, mischievous glint in his eye et al. ]
no subject
You've made me curious, and I've given it sufficient consideration. Have you changed your mind?

[ Unfortunately, I, Ly, have shame and so you're going to have to fill in the gaps of a written description with what you know… The benefits to the style upgrade and dressing himself up means there's no need for him to find a change room, so after a brief flash of colour there he is in a properly "tailored" suit with all the accoutrements that go along with formal wear: a pocket square, cufflinks, a belt, and a watch, all impeccably coordinated by colour.
What's noticeably missing from the ensemble is a tie—which, coincidentally, he's holding in his hand, a piece of cloth from his original outfit fashioned into one. And going along with the flow… he leans forward, until he's just about at Yesod's ear as he holds the tie out directly in front of him. ]
Do it for me? [ A little more lowly. i'm so sorry ]

The missing tieβ
Elysium's warning didn't prepare Yesod for his leaning too close. That remains disconcerting; lips pressed into a line, Yesod slowly reaches for the proffered tie, taking it between his fingers. Then, assessing Elysium's shirt collar, he brushes the longer sections of the other man's hair aside, slips the strip of cloth into position around Elysium's neck, and ties it to let it hang flat, smoothing it down Elysium's front.
By his former department's standards, the results would pass a uniform inspection flawlessly.
It's only a change of attire, easily altered β it isn't a cage nor is the tie a chain or a noose β but it does feel oddly wrong. A moment later, Yesod's hands move again, loosening the tie's knot. ]
