[OPEN] elsword's housewarming party!
Who: Elsword & You
What: Housewarming party!! Snacks!! Mysterious river noises!!!! A mushroom probably!
When: Early August, in the evening
Where: Elsword's house :D
Warnings: frat boy party stuff probably
Elsword has been building a house. And, when August rolls around (time is weird here, just go with it, it Feels like August ok) he manages to complete it. Which means...
a) moving really shitty furniture into the actual rooms, sorry this is all the Shopkeeper could spare, he'll buy and/or make nicer furniture later
b) installing a chandelier (dangerous!)
c) going around to the grove's residents to ask if they want to live with him
and
d) inviting people to have a "housewarming party", and explaining "I've never had one before but it sounds like fun" (you are here!)
There's food aplenty (mostly fish) cooked up and ready to eat, and the Shopkeeper has provided further party snacks, which is a fun way of saying there is a single large bowl of pretzels on a coffee table that looks like a halved tree. There are apples picked from the apple tree by the river's edge (Elsword has already thanked the forest for those). There's water. It's not the most extravagant party food, but there should be enough to go around. Just be sure to share with your fellow housemates and/or current partygoers, please, it's only polite.
There are games, too, but not anything too exciting. Elsword doesn't have any board games, and video games are a myth where he's from, so you'll all be playing verbal games like Two Truths & a Lie or Truth or Dare, which may or may not devolve into the most fratboy shit ever. There's no liquor here to make you immune to questioning your life choices, after all.
Outside on the patio are some of those awful, terribly uncomfortable plastic chairs likely pulled from the back of the General Store, but at least you can sit down and enjoy the sounds of the river nearby. The rushing waters, the sound of something croaking, maybe some gurgling... it's all very normal. There's nothing happening in the water. Elsword has even tried to create fake fireflies outside by using some of his magic to make little yellow orbs that float and bob in the air. It's quieter than inside, too, and is a nice escape from the partying. A relaxing time.
At the end of the night, after everyone has partied out, Elsword takes to cleaning up. He'll tell you not to worry about it and just let him handle everything, but if you stick around to help, you might find him staring into the shards of a mirror.

I'm sure they are. [ "Our", huh? Well, he's certainly not going to point out the very big flaw with that choice of wording. ] You really have no need to thank me. If anything, I'm sorry to have made you so upset to begin with. I wouldn't necessarily call it "kind" or anything, I'm just doing what anyone else would do…
But… I'm really glad we're friends, too!
no subject
N-No! I must thank you, it isn't as if anyone can plainly speak from their heart. Let alone, wish to offer sanctuary for another in their own. That is true kindness, in its most purest form! I assure you these tears are of a happiness, and only sadness cause of anguish of the past... T-They may be because of your doing, but they are not your responsibility to take blame. I-I assure you! I have nothing but a absolute gratitude!
[ She is - despite the tears in her face and looking a bit ugly because she was kinda crying. Very grateful. Her eyes at least seem to glimmer with that otherworldly effect, the ocean inside of them swirling about giving off the air of a beautiful summer weather. ]
I-If there is anything I can do for you too, do let me know!
no subject
He doesn't think she's ugly, though. Emotions are just as beautiful as the stories people have to tell. It proves they're people. It proves they have so much more beauty to contribute to the world. ]
Oh, it's alright. I just wanted to get inside your head is all! [ Okay, Mizuki, phrasing— ] That's what these questions are for. I'd really like to get to know everyone here, so I figured this would be the best way to achieve that…
no subject
If you would like, you can get inside my head any time!!
[ In her mind, she thinks that this simply means. Talking with one another, and getting to know each other. ]
I rolled a 3 so-- cw: weird Eldritch obsession stuff
It's perfect.
There's a rumbling in the back of Mizuki's head — dark, clawing thoughts that he's usually not even noticing most of the time that won't let themselves be ignored. You are a seaborn, Mizuki. Don't you long for that connection you don't have? Don't you want it? She's offering. Who cares that you just met this girl, everything has set itself up so perfectly, hasn't it? This can't be a coincidence. Maybe it's fate? Maybe it's destiny? Maybe he shouldn't continue to wear such a serene smile when his thoughts are his insane "become one" bullshit. Yet, here he is!! ]
Do you really mean that~? In that case, I had a theory I would like to try out. If two people share the same nutrients and do the same thing, I wonder if they would… gradually become the same? Would you like to try?
[ Girl, run— ]
aw shet
I think if someone gradually became more like me, that would be... No - I do not want that... I would not curse that likening to anyone. [ The amount of unspoken anxiety she knew she fought with, the sort of gradual decline into that depravity - no... None must struggle like her. It was her own battle, and she would not wish that upon anyone. ] But... If someone were to gradually be like ... Mizuki?
[ That seem to make her giggle a bit. ]
I would not want that either - not because another Mizuki would not be amazing, but because you are who they are. All on their own - ah let me ... Explain... My people. We believe in the heart, mind, and soul - the three strings that you tie in a braid. The lengthy weave it makes, long like Beithirs body. Strong together, whole. [ She takes one hand out and points a finger. Then does the same with the other enacting what she explains next. ] If you take two braided strings and threw them into the winds - where would they go? Not the same way, no matter if you made those strings by the same things and in the same weave. What they experience will always remain separate.
I just mean... Even if either one of us tried to change to be more like the other, even if it was forced... Ultimately in the end. We could never be the same exactly, and if we did try... [ Caoimhe continues thinking, still just assuming this is two people playing a talking game. ] Why? I like that you are different from me, its my favorite thing about you. About everyone else too.
[ Do you want to try - this thought lingers a bit in her mind. ]
Oh! I suppose if you want me to try to perform as you, I could try... T-Though I am not all that good... M-My sister Maeve is far better at acting then I am.
no subject
How embarrassing. Perhaps he just got a little too excited that there was someone so similar to him. Perhaps he's just more afraid of being alone in this new and unfamiliar place than he thought. Perhaps he just misses the Doctor and is desperate to fill that void. Perhaps he just isn't thinking all that clearly because of just how hectic things have been...
Whatever the case was, it's obvious she wouldn't agree to something like that. Of course she wouldn't. Of course, of course, ofcourseofcourseofcourseofcou- ]
Ah, don't worry about it. It's... [ How to backpedal out of this gracefully? He laughs, light and bell-like. ] It's nothing to worry about, I wasn't being serious~.
[ Urghghgh... there's a pit in his stomach now -- he's so hungry. ]
no subject
Oh..~? Okay, I-I know you said this was all a thinking game... I-I hope my answer was fun and enjoyable at least. [ Caoimhe seems overly comfortable with the other, completely with her guard down now. She only really felt this way around Rennuid and Elsword. ] Do you want to see what everyone else is doing?
