karaoke party!

[irresponsibly]

Who: Lucia and you!
What: Karaoke Party Time
When: Fall 20
Where: Cozy Kitchen
Warnings: n/a for now

[ On Fall 15th, a notice goes up on the noticeboard advertising a karaoke party at Cozy Kitchen on Fall 20th. It may be easy to miss with all of the pirate chaos, but Lucia will put a sign at the front of the restaurant to remind her fellow farmers of the event.

When Fall 20th rolls around, the smell of Lucia's food can be smelled from outside in town square. One may also catch another redhead bringing alcohol from his winery into the restaurant, or people from the other neighboring bar moving equipment into Cozy Kitchen. When everything's said and done, the restaurant is left with a nice evening setup. It's a small-ish space but there is plenty of food and alcohol for people to indulge in, as well as non-alcoholic drinks like tea and water. The karaoke machine is set up, and there are board games from the store that people can play while they're here.

People are free to sing, open mic style, as many times as they'd like. At some point during the party, however, Lucia will make it a point to play some slower songs on the machine and cite that it's been a while since the dance in Spring. Now might be a good chance to get one last dance in with someone before Winter hits! Finally, party games will be inevitable, so go ahead and participate or run your own. ]

[lay it on him ✨]

Re: Sylvando

[moonstriking]

Truth or dare?

[ She has something from a picnic for this ]

[hypnowhip]

Oooh! Give me a dare, darling.

[moonstriking]

[Pulling out...a rice ball!

Not just any riceball.

Flynn's riceballs.]

I dare you to try this riceball.

1/2

[hypnowhip]

Oh, is that all? Hee hee, you could've gone harder than th--

[Wait.

He recognizes that odious aura anywhere.

Judith? What did he do to deserve this???]

[hypnowhip]

[You know what? No. He's going to be supportive of his knightly friend!

So he puts on his game face, even flashing a confident smile as he takes it!]

Ahem. You could've gone harder than that, honey!

[He won't just try it. He'll eat the whole thing!

(Let it be known that despite his outward appearance that he's enjoying this, internally he wants to die.)]

[moonstriking]

[ Ahahaha. She guessed correctly. Judith beams and hands over the riceball, very nicely decorated despite the visible aura of doom emanating from it]

Eat up.

[hypnowhip]

[Why this.

But no, he handles it with grace the entire way through.]

Phew! That sure hit the spot!

[uggghhhhhh Flynn is getting cooking lessons ASAP]

[bluminescence]

[ If Sylvie doesn't already have a drink, he's wordlessly getting a fresh one offered to him. ]

[hypnowhip]

[Kassie is a life saver and Sylvando would kiss him if he didn't just eat the worst rice ball known to man.

He takes the drink and immediately chugs half of it. He can worry about the consequences of that action later.]

Thanks, honey! That sure made me thirsty, h-haha...

[The facade is really hard to keep up, but he's trying. For Flynn's sake.]

[winebar]

[Well you dragged him here, so;]

Truth or dare, Sylvando.

[hypnowhip]

[He did, and he couldn't be happier that van Zieks is actually playing too!]

I'm curious what you'll come up with, sooo...dare!

[winebar]

[Listen it provides a chance for him to potentially get revenge against certain people.]

I feel like there is little I could say that would be difficult for you. [Hmmmmmm.]

Can you do a flip off the table?
[HONESTLY HE JUST WANTS TO SEE SYLV DO CIRCUS TRICKS.]

[hypnowhip]

[Van Zieks wants him to partake in clownery? How the tables have turned!

Sylvando hops to his feet.]

Coming right up!

[He makes sure to move anything off the table so they don't get knocked over, then hoists himself up. After testing the table's stability...]

Heeeere we goooo~!

[What he ends up doing isn't just a flip. It's a full-on spinning somersault. He does flips all the time, so he might as well make it extra flashy for van Zieks!

He lands with a flourish.]

What do you think?

[winebar]

[LISTEN He has no interest in funny honk honk clown gags, but feats of athleticism? That part of circus nonsense he can at least respect. He has to hold himself back from clapping because it would be weird probably?? But honestly, what a trick. How the fuck does he do that. Incredible.]

I almost feel I should deduct points for you showing off, but when you do it so effortlessly it's hard to be anything but impressed.

[knightunerring]

[ Sylvando would definitely be a fun person to play this with, Flynn can tell. ]

Truth or dare?

[hypnowhip]

[Now why would Flynn think that? ;)

Sylvando's taken on a few dares so far, so he switches things up with Flynn.]

How about truth?

[knightunerring]

[ Flynn is, unfortunately, not a party games master. He gives this some serious thought. ]

Then... how about, name one thing you've lied about.

[hypnowhip]

[He feigns a scandalized gasp.]

Little old me? Lie? Why, I would never!

[...only to giggle after.]

Just kidding! Would it surprise you to learn that Sylvando isn't my real name?

[knightunerring]

Really?

[ But he looks like such a Sylvando? ]

What was it originally, then?

[esurientabyss]

[ If Sylvando is going to be approaching wallflowers, He Xuan is going to be one of them... ]

If you're asking in an attempt to get me play, then answer this question:

Truth or Dare?

[hypnowhip]

[He Xuan has successfully thrown Sylvando straight for a loop with that one.]

H-Huh? No, He-He, I was-

[Truthfully...there was more of a motive than just mingling with He Xuan. They'd had their date on the boat and it went well, but there's still something to settle, isn't there?

In a moment, perhaps.]

Oh, all right. How about truth?

[esurientabyss]

[ He Xuan tilts his head a little at that.

It sure didn't end with anybody at each other's throat, and indeed decent enough. That being said, he certainly catches the note of that reaction; he's not the best still dealing with people personally, but the reaction is easy to tell that Sylvando's intentions were somewhere else. He's not about to dismiss it. ]

Then, your truth will be answering if you intended to approach me with a more serious topic in mind.

[ Pause. ]

...If it is something you'd rather have no one any intention of overhearing, we can discuss it on a walk outside, and then come back when we're concluded.

[hypnowhip]

Oh, honey... I don't know if it's that serious, but it's true that I didn't come over to play. Not that I'd deny you, of course!

[He Xuan playing Truth or Dare has a lot of comedic potential, after all!

B-But that's not the point right now.]

I just thought it'd be nice to catch up. Fall has been so busy, and I've really been slacking on my quest as a result. It's positively mortifying!

[esurientabyss]

Well, if you don't have any intentions to engage me in this idiotic game, I see no point in playing along.

[ It absolutely does...despite the fact that as always, He Xuan is usually sulking about in general party-themed activities. Anyways, he says this now but if he is asked, he'll at least go along with two rounds of the game.

That being said, when Sylvando mentions that quest, he's mildly surprised. His face doesn't show it easily, as per usual. But he should've expected the other would be intent on that. ]

Is it? Or are you just saying that in an attempt to amuse me so you can complete your quest?
