[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!

[Gosh he really wanted to but--]
Well, just, don't critique me too harshly all right? It's been a couple of years since I played regularly. So I'm probably going to start up a little rusty...
[Maybe he'll just walk up to the piano for now and... place his hand on it? He's allowed to do that right?]
Ah... If only I had some grape juice to loosen up the anxiety.
500 years later cry
[Grape juice doesn't do shit fam, sorry...but she can hook you up with the good stuff. Also don't be anxious it's not like she's putting that much pressure on you.
Right? Right???]
Chuuya brought some wine to share. I can always get you a glass if you'd like?
shhh. It's okay. I too, am hecka late.
[What's wrong with grape juice!? Grape juice is both delicious and highly addicting.]
Do you have red wine? That's probably the next best thing for me.
[Meanwhile he's just going to crack his knuckles before he takes a seat at the piano. Alright Phoenix, breathe. Think back to your days as a professional pianist at the Borscht Bowl.
You can do this.]
no subject
[Phoenix you're an adult grape juice is for little babies okay wine is adult grape juice get with the program. Anyway, you can do it buddy.
All eyes on you.
Well, just hers but still.]
...Or would you like a glass of wine before you play?
no subject
[Yeah.
Definitely.
It helps loosen him up you know. And even though his audience is a small one he is still a little nervous. It's been a few years since he last played after all!]
It'll help get the edge off with the stage fright.
[After all, who knows who may walk over to watch once he starts?
He can't help but pull at his collar a little while thinking about it.
Also, grape juice is amazing, excuse you.]
