[Event Mingle] Great Full Day!

At last it is here, the day An Nu and Ga Re told you about has arrived. While the last few days may have been a bit of a trial with the whole replicator going a bit wonky thing, but that’s no reason not to celebrate, right? Right! Good thing too, because the Whale Comb Sent Her is absolutely awash with what must be seasonal good cheer. The whole outside of the building is wrapped in vines, though thankfully this time they seem to be made primarily of a thick sort of cloth, and the fall colors to them are also painted on. There’s no doubt that the decorations come from your friendly Agrii either, because apparently they feel that pink and purple are also very valid color choices for fall foliage, so enjoy those splashes of color too.

Inside the decorations continue, the fabric vines ringing the room at a height that would clearly be natural for the Agrii. Amid them are painted cloth banners announcing things like WHALE COMB and EAT MUCH and GREAT FULL and of course the ever present THANK YOU. Around all of these are cloth and paper pictures that wouldn’t look out of place in an elementary school classroom around Thanksgiving. You’ve got your handprint animals, foam shape plants, and vividly painted pictures of tables full of food with Agrii around it as a group. And sometimes in those last ones there are little drawings that… wait, He Row, is that you? Well, they did say you were celebrating together, so maybe that’s what they meant.

But of course people didn’t just come here for the wonderful decorations. You’re here for the food, for the feast, for the togetherness. Good news is that the Agrii have you covered on that as well. A series of tables have been set up in the Sent Her, much like when He Rows first arrived on Agra-10. Along one wall is a long series of tables covered with pink and purple cloths, and over the majority of these are the foods the Agrii have sent down. There are platters of hamburgers (which taste like peanut butter), and plates of peanut butter sandwiches (which also taste like peanut butter). There are pies that look like they’re apple and taste like iced tea. There are more ‘traditional’ things too, which are things like green bean casseroles, vegetable lasagnas, and even some seventeen layer dip to go with all of the chips. There’s apparently no meat though. Not from the Agrii at least.

The even better news is that this isn’t all there is. A whole two tables of space have been left open for the He Rows to bring their own food offerings, or the results of their replicator experiences. The Agrii have been kind enough to leave out plenty of extra plates and serving utensils as well, so no one should worry about there not being enough. And hopefully what your fellows have brought is very tasty. Or came out in a reasonable size or volume from the replicator.

Then there are the tables laid out in the middle of the room. They are round things with only a few seats at each, and there are name tags? Apparently the Agrii thought they might help you get to know each other this Great Full with random seating. Hope your table mate is fun. At each space there is also a little cloth baggie of… oh wow, is that candy? Yes it is! Those sweets are going to be a great reward for after dinner. Or during it. And surely there’s nothing strange that comes from eating them at all.

Finally, there’s even something for those whose entertainment isn’t to be found in eating. The Agrii have been studying their He Rows for a while now, and they know what you need. One side of the room is dedicated to other forms of entertainment. There’s a big poster drawn of what looks to be a glownie, but lacking a tail. Ah but don’t worry, there are tails made of cloth in a bowl nearby for He Rows to restore to the paper glownie. Don’t worry about injury to the paper glownie, it’s all done with magnets! For those who aren’t about tail pinning there are other fun things to be done. There’s a karaoke machine in the corner, clearly the Agrii remember how much fun that was. Wait… Is that the exact one that He Row Billy loaned to the Deep End? Apparently so. And last but far from least is the most important of celebration games: a booth with a stack of personal peanut butter pies and a sign saying ‘Eat Fast Count Is!’ Which probably means eating contests for those brave enough to face that much peanut butter.

FAQ
Do we need to make our own logs for this?
No. You’re welcome to use this post to make Top Levels for this mingle. Get out there and enjoy your celebration together.

We’re not obligated to that randomized seating are we?
Nope! We just felt it could be a handy way to explain mingling with other He Rows you might not normally talk to.

What if our character would bring food?
Our best suggestion is to note that in your TLs. Who knows, maybe your creativity with cooking or the silliness of your offering (or the results of a poor replicator situation) could be fun for others to enjoy.

Can we still use the replicator here and now?
Absolutely. If that sort of chaos is what you want to have fun with, then have at it. Besides people here can probably help you eat your way through any food you get.

That candy seems sorta suspicious. What’s up with that?
Great question. Each baggie will have a random assortment of little gummy candies that are shaped like Agrii heads, complete with three eyes, smile, and little teeth. Each one even has their own unique flavor. And their own unique side effects.

Yellow - Maple Flavored - Makes eater more energetic and friendly
Green - Sour Apple Flavored - Makes eater feels mischievous and is more likely to play pranks and tell jokes
Blue - Dark Lager Flavored - Makes eater tell the truth for half an hour (is not actually alcoholic
Purple - Chocolate Flavored - Makes eater very affectionate or romantically inclined
Red - Cinnamon Flavored - Makes eater easily angered or quick to challenge other people

I. Disappointing Ramen

Gatherings where you brought food had never been Gladio's strong spot. Anything that wasn't a meal that could be heated over a camp stove wasn't in his wheelhouse for cooking before the Long Night, and after the sun had been winked out of their lives, food was more precious and no one cooked for only one person. No, you went out in Hunter packs, and there had always been someone that Gladio was with that knew how to cook. Was it any surprise then that Gladio, feeling bad that he'd brought no offering, made right for the 'souped up' replicator?

"Cup ramen. Maybe fifteen servings? Variety of flavors."

There was good news and bad news to this. The good news was that, in the grand scheme of things, Gladio didn't get the worst results. After all, there was ramen, and it was in cups. Except what he got was large, ceramic cappuccino mugs, each of which had less than a cup worth of ramen, noodles and broth together, in them.

"The fuck?"

II. Singing Man

Karaokee was nothing new to Gladiolus. It wasn't an uncommon thing to do in Insomnia before the fall. There had been a number of nights that, after some training, he had gone out with other young Crownsguard and even Glaives to drink and ignore the world with karaoke. Gladio knew he wasn't the best at it, but he also was far from the worst, and so he had stepped up to try his luck.

Except none of the songs were ones he knew. This wasn't filled with music from home. Somehow he found that he shouldn't have been shocked by this. At all.

At last he sighed and started flipping through things.

"I guess I'll take a request?" he suggested, frowning.

III. Candy Connection (Blue)

Truth was, the whole day was ending up a bit more fun than he'd expected. The Agrii sorta owed them after all of the recent mess that was going on with them, and the trouble they had gone through for their alien captors. So Gladio had tucked into the food, the fun (and yes, he'd pinned a tail on a glownie), and now it was time to wind down with some sweets. Not that he did sweets often, but today it felt like the right way to celebrate after a slice of peanut butter pie. So Gladio popped a blue candy into his mouth.

And once that was done he leaned back in his chair and sighed to himself.

"Well, it's better than a ball back home. Too many damn times standing around as a guard. Or with all those damn nobles introducing me to their eligible daughters. Fucking hell that always sucked so much more than drinking with the guard."

Chances were that the fact that Gladio was high nobility back home wasn't surviving the night.

[OOC: Welcome to interact with Gladio with any candy involved.]

Radley watched Gladio's confusion with some sympathy.

"What songs does it have?" He wondered if there was anything from his world.

"Nothing from Eos," Gladio sighed as he continued to flip through lists. "Which isn't surprising. Eorzea was the closest I've seen as overt references to my world."

Radley came over to look. "I do recognize some of these," he said. "There's some nice friendship songs, some romantic songs, and some very silly songs."

"Well you've got an advantage on me," Gladio admitted as he flipped through things. Sooner or later he'd find something. "Seems right to sing at something like this. Or not, I guess."

"Oh, I agree," Radley says.

He points to Hold On Forever. "This is a nice song."

Is it?

"Alright then, I'll try it. HOpefully this has the whole paced lyrics thing."

Because he wanted to try singing it right.

Radley liked it. It made him think of a true friendship.

"Hopefully, if the Agrii didn't make it themselves."

He chuckled wryly.

"I mean, where else could they have gotten this from?"

He really doesn't know where else it could come from?
