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.

LMAO so true

Who said I didn't trust you? [He raises a brow. Maybe they're just good appetizers.] But I do know you must be feeling extremely apologetic to more than a few people here.

...

[Instead of answering right away, he slowly pops the food into his mouth, a thoughtful look on his face more akin to a kicked puppy.

Wow, a full mouth sure lends to time to think! At least Syr was right... this is pretty delicious.

...]


Yeah, well... um. That's something I'll just have to figure out as the night goes on. [Amber's already chewed him out in public, even if they were able to talk it to a point of understanding... and he can't help but feel eyes on him.] I felt I owed Lucia more than just sulking about it, though.

I'll be alright.

I hope that, similarly, anyone else can save their grievances for later instead of resolving it in the middle of Lucia's event. [He grabs one of his own appetizers.] Anyway, in the spirit of the game I think you're around to turn it back on me, now.

We'll just have to see, I guess.

[narrator: and then they both left the party early anyway]

Mn, right. Truth or dare, Syr?

[Sorry Lucia... no fault of the party...]

Let's go with truth.

What's something from our time here that's annoyed you the most? [A finger is held up, before Syrlya can answer.] Besides the goddess and her tricks.

[Syrlya opens his mouth immediately and... then snaps it shut with the clack of his teeth. He was absolutely going to say the goddess.]

... Hm. [He thinks on it.] It's not an annoyance per se, but it has never quite settled in me how distant my connection to my people and other plant life is right now.

[The immediacy of that jaw tightening shut earns a little rumbling noise of amusement from Otegine, but he keeps it quiet.]

Connection... a-ah, yeah, I remember that from the resort.

[He sure hasn't brought that whole memory share up yet with Syrlya, though. Whoops.]

What exactly is it, that connection? It felt... odd to me.

Oh--so you were also privy to one of those. [He had so many it wasn't worth trying to ask around about who saw what.]

It's a sort of additional sense between us. We are all connected to each other in the Dream--er, think of it as a collection of our consciousness. When we awaken, that connection lingers in the form of an emotional connection between all of us. Here, with only Trahearne, I am keenly aware of his presence and feelings when he is nearby. But normally I would have that with thousands of siblings so it can all blend together unless someone's feelings are especially strong.

Geeze... I'd think that would be pretty overwhelming, but... I guess if it's what you're used to, that's kind of subjective, huh. [He had a hard enough time balancing his connection with his two bodies - hearing thousands of others just sounds awful.]

You said you get it from other plant life, too... do you mean literally, or just, uh... just other Sylvari?

Mm. Some Sylvari do find it overwhelming, and they cut themselves off from that connection with meditation. But I have a hard time finding any comfort in that silence. This is what I am used to.

[He's never known it any other way, and when he spends days alone on the road it's been a comfort to know he's never truly alone. Even if... he hardly spends time in the Grove anymore.]

Perhaps simply due to our nature as magical plants, I can sense the state of other plant life as well. They are not as complex but I normally I can get a sense of their health or disposition, and influence their growth. Though it does not tell me about their composition without proper study, such as if they are poisonous.
