Summary: Holding a dinner so we can all get to know each other, this should end terribly.
Warnings: F for food?!

[This month's haul of transports seemed to bring in a lot of familiar faces for the residents of 103. Friends, family, comrades, terrifying generals who are your boss now- all sorts! ]

[It was Sophie's idea to hold a dinner. A dinner of family, for everyone to have a chance to meet each other and get to know each other better. It seemed like a nice way to welcome everyone into this horrible war. But hey, food! And so, Allen and Sophie made sure to invite their friends, family and comrades in order to have a warm evening together]

[And Kaneis, well, at least he isn't climbing out the back window at the prospect of social interaction for hours. This my friends, is progress. ]

[But gather around friends and family and terrifying boss! There's food, people, wine and games to be had! Just you know, try not to cough in it you sick jerks]

[OOC: KITCHEN | DINING TABLE...FLOOR...COUNTER | LIVING ROOM | BEDROOMS. Please feel free to tag around, thread hop and just have fun! If I left anyone out of the attending list please let me know! ]

DINING TABLE...FLOOR....COUNTERS

[wilder]

[Okay so there was as slight oversight in the fact that there are way more people coming to this thing than there are chairs or room at the table, so some of you may be eating on the floor or the kitchen counter! Unless you want to bring your own chair of course]

[Either way, there's more than enough food to feed everyone. Most of it is pretty good tasting too (most...)! So eat up, chat with your neighbors, and have a nice meal!]

[And for those of you adults worried? There is totally wine and ale. Don't worry]

[wolfchild]

[ Like hell wine is for adults only. She brought a bottle with her to the floor where she found a place to sit. She's quiet mostly, listening in on conversations without giving the impression she is. The girl is quick to rescue her plate and cup when someone walks by, peering up while she chews. She offers a smile to everyone; nothing lost testing the waters. ]

[scarred]

[How about a smile for a cute, small monkey with a piece of bread in hand? Lau Jimin creeps over, giving Arya a curious look-over before sitting down next to her to chew on his bread.]

[wolfchild]

[ She did adopt Tim so. The monkey gets a genuine smile, just a little upward quirk to her lips. She continues eating peacefully. After a while, she offers him some of the non-meat portions of her meal. She holds her hand out for him to take them from her. ]

[blossomgale]

[ Sophie walks by, carrying her plate filled with nothing but crablettes, even if there's obviously other dishes she could have picked out. She stops before completely passing by the girl, noticing she's someone unfamiliar. Either a friend of Zelos or Allen... hm.

She smiles back. ]

Hello. Have you tried the crablettes?

[wolfchild]

[ She lets Sophie assume what her smile means. ]

I don't want any more. Thank you.

[pactfulfilled]

[Asbel had just walked by on his way to the kitchen, and now he looks down, seeing a sudden snatch of movement near his feet. Oh, hey. Who's this?]

[He offers a smile.]

Hey there, I don't think we've met before. I'm Asbel.

[wolfchild]

Hello.

[ Her smile remains firmly affixed even as she examines him and just as quickly dismisses him. ]

[fujibayashi]

[Sheena looks a little awkward and self conscious; she keeps adjusting her arm-warmers and looking around because she's 1. in Zelos' apartment and 2. she is about as socially inept as he is.

In place of her pink ribbon, she has her hair pulled back into a bun with fancy hair sticks. They look spectacular and rich, like they were stolen from a noble Korean lady. Probably because they were. It's... about as close as she'll get to dressing up nice on short notice.]

Food smells good...

[... awkward.]

[wilder]

[And he'll be sitting nearby, looking for a chance to troll since yes he can smell your social ineptness here Sheena.]

Aw man, really? We were aiming for mediocre smell.

[fujibayashi]

[Like you're any better.]

You must feel so popular, what with all these people ignoring you.

[debtor]

[Allen stands nearby with a plate of something. Whatever it was, it's almost gone. He's never met this woman (a friend of Kaneis's...?), but he nods enthusiastically when she speaks.]

It's really good!

[pactfulfilled]

I'll bet it tastes good, too. Cheria's a really good cook.

[He can't speak for Kaneis and the others but, well, there you go.]

[flashmaiden]

I hope it tastes good too! I'd feel terrible if we were serving bad food to so many people.

[Cheria smiles, holding her own plate of food as she stops to stand next to her.]

Oh! I'm Cheria. [She frees one hand to hold it out to Sheena.] It's nice to meet you.

[blossomgale]

[ Sophie's nearby, picking at her plate of crablettes. Before Sophie can start babbling about food like crablettes tasting great, she finds herself distracted by... Sheena's nice hair. ]

Your hair's pretty.

[debtor]

[Allen's standing by the counters, with his head down, shoveling food in his face like it's going out of style. The speed at which he's horking it down is almost grotesque... GROWING KID'S GOTTA EAT.

Every now and then he does come up for air. Though mostly just to fetch himself seconds/thirds/eighths. He's not opposed to conversation, though, if anyone dares to approach.

Just don't come near him with anything alcoholic.]

[flashmaiden]

[Dare to approach she does! Because she's made amends with Zelos over losing Sophie, but she still hasn't really gotten off on the right foot with Allen and she feels a little bad about that since they are living together. She has an excuse to walk up to him, anyway, since she is bringing more food from the kitchen to put on the counter.

Don't think she hasn't noticed how much food has gone missing into one belly. This is probably why it seems like they have to shop for groceries a lot too.]

You sure do like to eat a lot, huh?

[pactfulfilled]

[Asbel's seated at the counter some distance away.]

Wow, you must've been really hungry.

[Says the guy who already scarfed down his plate of curry, but that's nothing compared to watching Allen eat.]

[pactfulfilled]

[Asbel perches at one of the counters with a half-eaten plate of curry in one hand and a spoon in the other. Honestly, he wouldn't have minded a spot on the floor, but from up here it's much easier to follow the lively conversations of his companions and their friends. (And...a few not so lively.)]

[It's nice, though. Everyone being in the same room. People joking around and laughing and enjoying the company. It'd be even nicer if every meal was just like this...but, that's probably asking for a bit much, huh?]

[At some point he speaks up:]

So what would you guys say to a game later? You know, to get to know one another better.

[flashmaiden]

[Cheria sidles up to stand next to him, eyeing his plate. Still curry on it... Is it no good? She knows the ingredients aren't the same, and he can be pretty picky about his food, and she worried he might not like it when she prepared it. She shakes her head, making a note to ask him about it later.]

What kind of game, Asbel?

[velveteened]

( oz is perched at the counter. he's eating, but he seems to be enjoying the ambiance and company more than the food, really, and offers a smile to anyone who looks his way. a dinner among friends is both a nice thing and a rarity to him, much as he considers more a matter of other people and their friends. )

Everything really is delicious.

[flashmaiden]

[Cheria approaches, smoothing down her skirt as she does. She's been moving around making sure everyone is happy with the food, because she doesn't want anyone dissatisfied! She's willing to make more food to cater to their tastes, if need be. But it sounds like this is a happy guest.]

You really think so? I'm glad to hear that!

[omurice]

[Hubert stands kitchen, his plate on the kitchen counter as he observes the surroundings, specifically what kind of living arrangements that Sophie and Cheria are in. Also, to see if this Kaneis is a trustworthy person. As a guest, Hubert appears less than sociable and could care less to really talk to anyone. So many people here, so many questions, that Hubert knows better than just to leave them alone. He's not going to cause a scene here... yet.

Just for now, anyone looking at him can see his eyes wandering around the room, observing everyone.]

[wilder]

[Hubert you're such a party animal]

[But Zelos, is very much aware he's being watched. That Hubert's eyes keep falling on him. It doesn't really unnerve him, because honestly he spent a lifetime getting that treatment.]

[Though he will totally make Hubert well aware he can tell by waving and grinning stupidly the next time he looks at him]

[pactfulfilled]

[Typical snoop, typical Hubert. Asbel looks back at him, then attempts to locate who or what exactly he's so honed in on this time.]

[Of course, Asbel isn't half as critical or half as distrusting. Everyone here's pretty nice after all. What's the worst that could happen?]

Hey, Hubert, if you don't watch out, your omelette's gonna get cold.

[Lightly teasing.]
