[OPEN] elsword's housewarming party!

[simplicitas]

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.

Scavenging and Cooking with Mizuki ♫𓏢 🌊 ⦓⋆彡

[amhran]

Mi.. [ She takes a moment attempting to say his name correctly again. ] M-Mizuki - [ And when she does, she gets rather excited. ] Come this way, I found a lot of items we can use to cook with later. Y-you said you cook right, what do you think about this? My people usually use these to sweeten paste that we like to use on fruits. [ In her hands are Lavenders, Pansies, and Clementine's. ]

I. For the Brave

[ One whole Mizuki here to help provide food for this event. He's never done catering before — Rhodes Island usually had potlucks or buffets that many people contributed to. Not that this wasn't similar, but Mizuki insisted on making the fish. It's his specialty, after all.

With that said, if you're to take anything with meat made by Mizuki, the food looks… terrible. The sort that would be censored in anime. Or, more honestly, it looks as if somehow there's still something… alive about it? An unsettling aura that makes it look extremely… off.

But he's looking at you so excitedly! What could possibly go wrong? Maybe just a nibble…!

The meatless food he took part in, at least, all seem to be relatively normal. Maybe you can convince him you're vegan- ]

II. For the Curious

[ Mizuki isn't exactly an introvert, but that doesn't mean he's very good at parties, either. Certainly not ones in strange places where he more or less is stuck in, with creatures he'd only heard about once or twice where he's from.

But it doesn't mean he isn't going to try, so if you so much as look like you might be coming up to talk with him, he'll start the conversation with: ]

a. (the trolley problem)
There's a trolley, and it is currently on course to run into and kill five people. You have the ability to pull the lever and only kill one person. Bonus: the one person is someone who you care for. Do you pull it?

b. (the prisoner's dilemma)
Hypothetically, you have committed a crime. You have a partner involved and the both of you have been caught and detained. You are given the option, you can not confess and stay quiet and serve two years of containment. Or, you can confess and get off completely free, but you are condemning your partner to serving 20 years. Your partner has been given the same deal. If you both confess, you both have to serve ten years. Do you confess?

c. (I'm sorry he's like this—)
How much trauma do you think one would have to experience to feel true hysteria?

III. For the Wild(card)

Hi! Feel free to boop me with anything here, if you're uninterested in the prompts. Mizuki is also bringing his Nintendo Switch with the Arknights equivalence of Mario Party on it, so there's probably going to be video game shenanigans at SOME POINT in the party lbr…

2 TRUTHS & A LIE

[simplicitas]

[Whenever everyone's sitting around in a circle ready for games... Elsword will go first with this game after explaining the rules. The rules being: Everyone says three things, two of them are truthful and one is not, and other players have to guess which one the lie is. Then it's their turn. Easy! A good icebreaker! Surely this will get cursed quickly.

Anyway Elsword remembers about 3 things about himself so this works out well.]

I've fought a giant demon with multiple hands, I know how to operate a cannon, and I'm eighteen years old.

[shoot your shot]

Never have I ever....

[amhran]

[ tw: some torture mentioned in this post. ]

I was told.. This would make the game more fun?

In this area I have casted Area of Truth... It is... It is a spell that makes it so when you are within it - only the truth can be spoken.

[ The last time she used it was when -

We dont talk about that memory. Of her screaming stop, of her begging and crying, of her trying to save someone who had tried to kill them all - WHO SHE felt and had an inkling to being possessed. Of her party members - including the Paladin, The Paladin once monster turned holy man... Literally torturing and dismembering a person.

We don't talk about that... Anyway. ]

T-That is to say it doesnt force you to speak it... You could simply just not say as much but you are compelled to speak the truth!

[ She sits now, seemingly nervous. ]

At any rate.. I... believe I go first... I think it works like this... N-Never have I ever, seen a Dragon!
