karaoke party!
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. ]

Security guard. It's a habit.
[ But he nods anyway. Sitting with her is better than lurking and watching her, probably. ]
no subject
That was... The job that Rai gave you, right? No wonder you're always so alert and protective.
[ Flashbacks to the bear incident... and the pirate incident... ]
no subject
[ Is that the easiest way to explain that relationship? "He looks after Rai." "He leaves Rai written instructions on how to make coffee or open doors."
...There's a lot about his life that is hard to explain, when he really thinks about it. Luckily, there's probably not a ton about his life that he needs to explain anymore. He leans back in his chair as he watches her with the food. ]
Having fun?
[ Probably good if she eats. Especially if she's been drinking. ]
no subject
She takes a spoonful of fried rice and nods at his question while she chews. ]
Mmhmm.
[ But when she's done with that bite, she's of course scooping up another bite and holding the spoon for him, just like with their cruise date. It this too gross of them? Oh well. ]
Being at a lively place with food and drinks and people singing reminds me a lot of the taverns back home.
no subject
He's already been trained by the cruise date. He leans in to take that spoonful of fried rice cooperatively. Though he's maybe going to glance around to see if anyone's staring at them while he eats. ]
"Tavern" always sounds like more drunks. Barfights.
[ Not that he should rule out a fight at this party, probably. ]
no subject
Well, there were certainly plenty of fights between drunks! Have you ever been in a tavern brawl before, M?
[ Would he like to be in one?? No just kidding. There won't be fights at this one. Right...? ]
no subject
Can't get in fights like that without drawing too much attention. The security guard thing is hard enough.
[ If he were drunk he really might throw someone through a wall, and then what? Well. That means it'd be fine to have one here... ]
no subject
You don't have to worry about that too much here, do you? I mean, just yesterday we got into a fight with those drunk pirates...
no subject
Yeah. Lots of people here aren't human, anyway. I doubt anyone here would care much.
[ Is three months in sort of late to be realizing this? No one ever accused him of being a clever boy. ]
...Didn't you get this for yourself?
no subject
But he's right. He's a good boy, not a clever boy. ]
I got it for both of us. I wanted to share! I haven't seen you eat at all since we got here...
[ That's right, M-21, your girl has been glancing across the room at you even while she's been socializing!! ]
no subject
[ You know. Holding up a wall, making an evil eye at Otegine from time to time.
Wait. While he's been sneaking glances at her, she's been looking over at him too? He brightens very subtly and holds out his hand for the fork. ]
You're the one that should be eating anyway.
no subject
Because I've been drinking? Hmm...
[ He's got her there. ]
Are you actually having fun, M?
no subject
Yeah. [ He is now, anyway. ] Lucia worked hard on this. It's good to see it.
no subject
She did! Oh, will you be staying behind afterwards to help clean up...?
I'll wait for you.
no subject
You sure? [ ...Thinking of the last time she was drinking at a party. ] Alright. It won't take that long. If someone looks like they're gonna trash the place, I'll toss them out first.
no subject
Do you really think someone's going to ruin the party like that?
[ Little do they know Mishka's clothes are literally going to explode off of him. Anywho, she smiles back, but just as they seem to be settling into a nice, quiet moment together, the music changes to something slower and sweeter. ]
...Oh!
no subject
[ M-21 sweeps a much more security guard glance around the crowd with just a little more skepticism this time. The other farmers might be all in this together, but that doesn't mean some of them can't make a mess.
His attention snaps back to Ori for that little sound she makes, though. ]
Hm?
[ Trouble? ]
no subject
She looks back at him with a smile. ]
Sounds like Lucia thinks it's time for another dance...
[ She'd danced with Otegine earlier, so she feels a little better about it overall... Otherwise she'd be trying to turn into a mouse to hide. But she's not sure if M-21 is going to ask, so she stays put for now... ]
1/2
But he gives a little hum of acknowledgment for her explanation. Not trouble, just music. ]
Yeah? That one's slower.
2/2
Right. There's a boyfriend thing to do here. He clears his throat a little. ]
...Dance with me?
no subject
Though the truth is, while she doesn't necessarily hate dancing at this point, she doesn't particularly like dancing, either. Still... If M-21 is asking her, then of course she'll say yes. It's a chance to be close to him, and that in itself already sounds great. ]
You won't get mad at me if I step on your feet?
no subject
The question gets a quiet little snort from him. Like he's scared of her stepping on his feet. ]
Wouldn't even feel it. If you're worried, I'll just pick you up.
[ He might not be as tall as Otegine, but he could easily hold her up for the whole time. He gets to his feet and holds out a hand to her, tilting his head in invitation. ]
no subject
What? Aren't you getting tired of carrying me around?
[ Considering all the princess carrying that happens... Still, she's smiling as she takes his hand to get up to her feet. ]
no subject
[ He'd happily princess carry her dozens more times... but he's not saying that with so many witnesses around. He flashes her a quick grin as he tugs her towards the dance area. ]
no subject
Really? So you'll keep carrying me around forever?
[ Ori please it hasn't been 48 hours.
Once they reach the dance floor, her hands come up to rest on his shoulders, fingers lacing together behind his neck. ]
This can be another fun memory, hmm?
