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. ]

He does seem to thrive on negative reinforcement for some reason.

[Sigh.]

Truth.

[chronosynthesis]

What have been your most positive memory since arriving here? [There are two kinds of people.]

[winebar]

[He thinks for a moment and then turns red.]

I... it is not appropriate for me to say.

[chronosynthesis]

... Allow me to amend that: your most positive memory since arriving that is not intercourse.

[winebar]

That-
[HE CHOKES AND TURNS EVEN REDDER. SIR WE ARE IN PUBLIC PLEASE USE EUPHEMISMS IF YOU MUST TALK ABOUT THAT>???????]

I cannot decide between two. When I... first kissed Kaspar and when I... shared what was troubling me with Sylvando, all of it, and he offered nothing but commiseration and support, even in ways I didn't... think of as an undue burden.

[chronosynthesis]

Oh? [How much redder can van Zieks get when he has to talk about feelings.] I can believe that,, Sylvando is very sweet--well, they both are. I did not know you were romancing Kaspar.

[If he's seen the ship lines he's being very good and pretending he hasn't.]

[winebar]

[Very, he has such pale skin it shows up easily.]

I... saying it that way makes it sound like an active effort. It more just...
[Happened??? That feels like downplaying it. It was more that it just felt so natural he didn't even have to really think about doing it.]

In any case I... have found myself caring deeply for them both and find myself at a difficult impasse.

[chronosynthesis]

Both of them? [Oh, this is juicy?? He scoots closer, in case van Zieks wants to lower the volume.] Then, are they sharing you or do all of you fancy each other?

[What impasse?]

[winebar]

[The idea of himself being "shared" is interpreted perhaps in a spicier manner than Syr meant, which means Baz gets very flustered. Anyway because it's funnier, this is taking place before Sylvando and Kas approach him with The Proposal.]

Wh- That's-
[Wait, how DO Kaspar and Sylvando feel about eachother??? He truly has no idea.]

To have both of them would surely be an improper relationship??
[POLYGAMY???]

[chronosynthesis]

Who cares? [Really. He crosses his arms.] If you are all happy with the arrangement you make, that is the only thing that matters. Are all of your human noble "social rules" really worth letting go of love when you find it, because of how someone else might judge you?

[winebar]

That-
[PEOPLE KEEP SAYING THAT TO HIM BUT NONE OF YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE IN VICTORIAN LONDON!!!!!]

This is entirely moot because you are assuming either of them would share your stance on the matter!

[chronosynthesis]

[Sounds like it SUCKS.]

Then... you should ask? You will have to admit your feelings either way, won't you? Then consider than an option you all have besides agonizing over one or the other.

My point is that there's nothing improper about the three of you finding love in whatever form suits you best, and that includes if you find you would prefer to all take the hand of each other.

[winebar]

[Well when you say it like that it sure sounds simple.]

I... Will keep that in mind, though there are other factors to consider.

[chronosynthesis]

[Sometimes, it really is that simple.

Syrlya smiles, pleased to have won the argument.] Are you inclined to another round of this game?

[winebar]

[Baz clears his throat, clearly grateful for the offer of a subject change.]

Perhaps one. Truth or Dare, Syrlya.

[chronosynthesis]

Very well. I'll pick truth.

[winebar]

[Hmmm....]

If you were offered the chance to undo one mistake you made in your past, would you do it, knowing you would thusly be a different person in a different situation now?

[chronosynthesis]

Oh. [Syrlya raises his brows, pausing as he leans back and brings a hand to his chin to consider.] That's quite the question. Much of my mistakes have had consequences far beyond myself... and unraveling them could fix one thing, but change a great many others. It's hard to say that my life is more important than those that would be negatively impacted in the alternative, but...

[... He sighs.] There is, one. A fight with a friend, that I wish I had resolved sooner. I can only think of ways it would have been better.
