When: May 1, 8am—7pm
Where: Sector 7, by Winthers Lake
Summary: May Day festivities!
Warnings: There... should be none? Mingle post!

[There's fiddle music! And a Maypole! Come fly a kite, grab some free food, help make May baskets or get suckered into a line dance!]

[Hinamori will wander around and talk to almost everyone, but please—jump in, threadjack, have private threads, cause chaos or just do your own thing!]

Comments

[bloodthirsts]

People from your world? [She enquires, smelling one of the flowers.]

[plum_that_snaps]

Yup! My best friend from home and Ca—Captain Kuchiki, one of the... captains in the organization I was in.

[plum_that_snaps]

[Don't stress, Youko! Festivals are supposed to be fun!]

[Hinamori is oblivious to Youko's discomfort, but comes over anyway with a smile on her face.] Hey Youko, do you want to help me pour juice in these glasses?

[bloodthirsts]

Oh me too! [She looks interested.] What organisation is that?

[plum_that_snaps]

The Gotei 13. It's... I suppose it's like the human military, except that we fight spirits instead of... wars. [A small frown comes over her face. It made her sad to think of human wars. And that bloodshed. And killing.]

[themonarch]

Oh... No problem! [hiding laughter behind his hand, his feet innocently back in place.] Didn't get a single drop on me.

[bestseller]

I am.

There's a fellow New Yorker here? Doesn't make me feel more at home, but I guess that's a little comforting. [Not really, but it's always nice to have some familiarity.]

[acemedium]

[Aside from the fact that he's in a a butterfly costume. That's bright yellow. And makes no effort to disguise himself]

Yeah, it is! The kidnapping bee guy!

[... Or something like that. She forgot his name]

[acemedium]

[Sliding on over here...]

Tsu!

[icy_heavens]

[Eyebrow lift.] Don't call me that.

[He fully expects that order to be ignored. But he still has to say it.]

[acemedium]

[Yep, it's ignored]

What's up? Are you having smores?

[icy_heavens]

[It's just in one ear and out the other when he's speaking to someone who likes nicknames.]

Looks that way.

[acemedium]

[You should feel special, Tsu, she only nicknames people she's especially fond of and comfortable with]

That's awesome! We should share. Have you ever toasted marshmallows before?

[Although, wait a second, was he actually trying food without her having to bug him to do it?]

[icy_heavens]

[Yes, well he just doesn't like nicknames.]

[He shrugs.] Fine. [He's not going to get all possessive over something as silly as one of these s'mores.]

A few times. [Courtesy of pestering from the same girl who got him to come here and do this. You're no long the only "girl who bugs him" in town, Maya.]

[acemedium]

[Maybe his name shouldn't be so long then!]

[She looks around for one to roast herself] We can have a toast!

[A... Few times, huh?] Oh, really? Are you finally trying stuff on your own?

[icy_heavens]

[His name is fine the way it is!]

[He points off to his left.] There's a bag of marshmallows over there.

No. Back home. [Oh, his ever-so-loquacious answers.]

[reginagloriae]

[Stress is always part of social interaction and Youko. Even with her own parent. She is even more relaxed in the Port with all the monsters than she was back home.]

Huh? Sure.

[Youko gives Himamori a tensed smile and reaches out for the juice jar.]

[plum_that_snaps]

[Hinamori keeps setting out empty cups on a tray.] Are you... enjoying yourself? We could take a break and go join one of the dances, if you'd like.

[plum_that_snaps]

[She picks herself up and brushes off her dress, giving Monarch a friendly smile.] Well, I'm glad of that, at least.

[She looks back and a puzzled expression comes over her face. What... exactly did she trip on? You can see the wheels turning in her head, but she eventually decides it must have been a strange accident and she'd best clean up what she can.]

I hope you weren't looking forward to any punch... 'cause it's all over the ground, now! [Said with a laugh.]

[plum_that_snaps]

Yes, although I... haven't seen him recently. I hope he's okay. [She looks a little sad. But suddenly grins.] He said he was immortal, though, so I'm sure he's fine! [A laugh.]

[She stares at the rose in her hand, then looks up to Alan.] What are you passionate about?

[reginagloriae]

Ahh... [Youko pauses and recalls the disaster that took place last time she tried to dance. She refused to attend any other party. No matter how much Loki insisted.

She shakes her head and smiles while she pours the juice in the cups.]

Of course I am. I'll take care of this, don't worry. You should go and have some fun.

[plum_that_snaps]

No, that's alright. I wouldn't want to leave you alone. How have things been going at work? Do you feel like you're settling in well?

[reginagloriae]

But I don't mind. I think so. I never had a job before, but I'm kinda getting used to it.

[themonarch]

[asdklg - he whirls around]

Butterfly. Butterfly! I mean what the hell, can you not see these? [he lifts one of his closed wings and shakes it at her] What bees have wings like this?!

[plum_that_snaps]

It does take some getting used to. You have to find a rhythm to it that works for you. For what it's worth, I think you're doing a really good job.
