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 (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 !! )

what's he so mean for. she chose the wrong people to hug. then again, there were certain others out of the question... so this is the best she could? ]
C'mon, a guy like you has to know the significance of Christmas Eve, don't you? Even I do! After careful research into the customs of Japan and listening to my classmates complain about their singles' nights!
no subject
looks at ely and verg. jk, thankfully yuwon has zero insight into the situation, minus what he's gleaned from their prior conversations. albeit, they were vague enough where he can't place any names or faces. more importantly, it looks like he will be fighting for his life again???
he knows this question is likely some sort of lead-in to a lecture, but can one truly avoid the inevitable. ] Hearing you say that, it would make someone wonder if you were the one from Earth. [ as opposed to him, that is. lol ]
So, then did you have Christmas Eve plans? [ answering a question with a question was standard, right? ]
no subject
... it would seem he's escaping lecture this time?! the question's really pulling its weight here, and malkuth steps back with a bright look on her face. ]
Of course! I'll be putting on the final touches for all my gifts and making sure everything's perfect for the day of, and if I have any time after all that I guess I'll go walking around the city and see the lights they've put up. I don't want to put myself between any couples, and I'm not really interested in hooking up at a single's party, so it'll be a nice breather after all is said and done.
[ ......... so she's got none. ]
no subject
[ not that this isn't a lot.
but, he can understand the value of spending time alone. ]
You don't have to hook up with someone to enjoy your time with others. I would say there are a handful of people on base who also don't seem to have any plans. [ he may or may not be including himself in this count, help. ] What about Elysium, or your coworkers?
no subject
...
one of her coworkers might be okay... gebura surely wouldn't mind hanging out, and there's no way she has plans... but on the other hand, she'll probably ask her if there's no one else she'd rather hang out with and than malkuth has to lie. she doesn't want to lie to her. gebura knows when she's lying. she'll sniff it out and then casually, discreetly prod at it like it's none of her concern but it's vaguely her concern if malkuth's lying about it.
...
can't ask yesod. she's trying not to exacerbate things. it's one thing to hang out on neutral days, but to spend time on what's widely broadcasted as a couple's holiday? absolutely not. that's asking for trouble. and even if he understands it's nothing like that, she'd rather not cause him more pain incidentally. the hug was rough enough.
as for elysium...
her gaze catches his enthusiastic, drunken antics as he plays with someone or other -- even the robots aren't safe from his stupidity, the charm that's unfailing everywhere else -- and then she turns it away again, shaking her head. ]
No, I'm fine. It's like... I just want a moment away from everyone. That's all.
no subject
despite the fact that yuwon could be relatively dense when it came to his own affairs and his priorities were obviously set in stone— it didn't mean he was blind to the prospect of other's. he seems to look at elysium the back to malkuth.
well, none of his business. ] ... Makes sense. I could relate. I think there are some things you can only think of when you're alone. [ or maybe he's so used to it that he wrongly presumes that's the case. either way. ]
If you ever find yourself really having nothing to do, you can always send me a message. I'll play with you. [ in theory. ]
