[open mingle] from my laboratory in the castle east
Who: EVERYONE!
What: Diva's! Birthday! Masquerade!!
When: August 4
Where: the Nadril caves
Warning(s): This is a mingle, so please indicate if your starter isn't OTA. Also: please put any necessary warnings in your subject lines when things pop up!
Atsushi has been planning this for a while now, but needless to say, a certain dragon forced him to adapt his plans, and arguably not for the better. Still, he's determined to make this work! Diva told him she's never had a birthday party in all of her long life, and that is just not all right - so of course he promised her she'd have one this year.
He... should have maybe not said anything, and just done this in secret. Or at least he should have known better than to ask Diva what kind of party she wanted, because she sure had a lot of wishes... That's Diva for you, though. Besides, after more than 170 years without a birthday party, she deserves to say exactly what she wants!
Atsushi has spent more time than he probably should have, decorating a part of Nadril's cave system with fairy lights and anything else he could find. For being in a cave, the setting is very atmospheric! There's food, drinks, and recorded music - not all of it suited for a party, but there are instruments too, for the more talented guests.
A masquerade was Diva's first and foremost wish, and with everyone having limited means and fewer possessions here, masks have kindly been provided by your hosts at the entrance. Some are classy; some are a little unusual; some are -....... Well, you should probably be at the party in time, so all the good masks haven't been taken yet. How well have you disguised yourself? Did you bother to hide your identity at all?
A gift for the birthday vamp is appreciated, but your presence is the biggest gift. There's no better time than the present to forget the unresolved situation elsewhere on the planet, and have a little fun together!

[That gets he to perk up excitedly, her hands clasping together at the sudden knowledge that she's not the only one to recognize the song that fills the cave.]
So do I! That's amazing, Akechi! So many people here have never heard of Bach before and yet you have...
[So he's clearly better, is what she's saying.]
no subject
It's a fairly well-known composition. Though... I confess, I couldn't have told you the composer's name off the top of my head like that.
no subject
[Well, she'll soak up this moment and feel smart for it.]
Ryuji had asked me what composers I like and he hadn't really heard of any of them I don't think. If there's one thing I've always liked about humans it was their music.
no subject
He smiles a moment later, however, and elects to ignore it for the moment. She'll probably notice, but... ]
I can attach some names to some songs, but I'm afraid I'm far from an expert.
Which ones did you say liked best?
no subject
My favourites? Well, it's hard to not love the greats. Mozart, Handel, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Bach...Hayden and Debussy...Tchaikovsky...they're all incredible. There are so many more too it's really hard to choose!
[Surely he's heard at least one of the composers listed.]
no subject
I can only recognize songs from a few of them - Mozart and Beethoven, mostly - but I've at least heard of all of them. [ And since he's trying to make himself some 'friends' here... ] Maybe you could introduce me to some of the others' work sometime.
no subject
Sure! I can do that. I'd love to.
[Ah, she's excited now, practically vibrating.]
What sort of music do you usually listen to?
