[open mingle] from my laboratory in the castle east

[gekkajuu]

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!

I imagine you did a bunch of impressive stuff.

[Or else he wouldn’t have become a heroic spirit, right?]

I’ll keep that in mind. You’re a guy I’d definitely want on my side.

[And he thinks he’ll try mixing up one last cocktail, this one being dark, almost black in color. It looks like something that you shouldn’t drink, but it’s definitely made out of ingest-able ingredients. The flavor is that of some kind of exotic fruit, sweet and tart...with a harsh bite at the end.

He slides it over to Iskandar with a grin.]

I’ve got a bar at my place, if you ever wanna drop by. I could use a drinking buddy.

[Another drink, hm? Well he lifts that one up to drain it down too. Smacking his lips after, he lifts his brows. It's sweet and tart. But there's something of a kick at the end that really slams you. At least it would if you weren't him.]

That one is fascinating. I think you'd really knock people over with this one.

[He laughs and leans forward to rest his arms on the counter.]

Also I would be glad to be your drinking buddy. I have very few of those and I can always use more.

[thetaintedsorrow]

You think? I’ll keep it in my arsenal then.

[Chuuya chuckles as he cleans up all the glasses. Iskandar really is an interesting guy.]

Glad to hear it. With all the doom and gloom happening lately a drink every now and then is a godsend.

[”Every now and then” he says...]

Don’t forget to say hi to the birthday girl.

[conqueredhearts]

But of course! I did come here for her, after all!

[He laughs and gives a wave for now.]

Until then, my friend!
