revivalproject | [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

The king shook his head. "Can't be the same guy then."

For a second there he had hope that somehow their worlds were connected or had more of a connection than what was previously established.

"The Cid I know fixed and improved things like weapons. He has a granddaughter named Cindy who worked on my father's car."

"I would not expect so," Reeve agreed. "I didn't think he would travel between dimensions without swearing up a storm and blowing something up. Just out of frustration."

And tea prices would fluctuate with his very presence.

"A grand daughter. Hell, that might happen one day, but I'm scare of what that would look like. I'm scared of the idea of him with kids."

That description had the king thinking. That didn't sound like the Cid or Cindy he knew. Okay well maybe Sophair would get cantankerous and could verbally rip someone to shreds as he had the day Noctis and the boys met him.

Comments about a slack jaw getting him nowhere and him looking like they kicked all of the dignity out of his father. Still, Noct smiled slightly and almost affectionately at those words now. They weren't funny then at all.

So he let out a laugh at whoever this Cid person was that Reeve knew. "Well if he has a wife, it could happen."

"Yes, I suppose so. I am just shocked. It's absolutely possible, and Shera would be a good mother. I suppose I just hadn't thought of him like that. Tifa and Barret and Cloud are the more parental types."

Cloud seemed sort of lost to Noctis when they'd met. Maybe Reeve knew the guy better than he did, so Noctis nodded.

"Well we all need those in our life."

He'd had Ignis.

"I suppose we do," Reeve agreed. "Tifa even makes sure to check in on me from time to time, to make sure I'm taking care of myself."

"Is that something we should do here? Just..sort of check up to make sure you're okay?"

Somewhere now Noct was worried.

Oh, Reeve chuckled and shook his head.

"Mini does a lot to watch out for me now, to make sure I rest.

[There's a relieved tone in the king's voice.]

That's good. Rest is pretty important especially in a weird place like this.

[Yeah, he wasn't wrong.]

I get lectured on that more than a bit.

[He had to snicker.]

Sounds like Mini's doing his job then.

He tries very hard at it.

[Reeve was pleased to think about it.]

I miss it. Having people who take care of me like that.

[He nodded, knowing what that was like.]

This place is crazy, you never know. People you know might come back.

[Reeve wasn't going to hold his breath for that. He was used to being alone in this sort of way.]

I would rather they be home and safe.

[Even Poe. Even if that makes his heart hurt.]

[He knew that feeling all too well.]

Me too. But then Gladio showed up and I didn't realize how happy I'd be to see someone from home.

[That's fair. And Reeve offers him a warm smile. He figured there was more to it than just that.]

He keeps you strong?

He keeps me going.

[Noctis was a private person and wasn't really into talking about things like that. Plus there was a part of him that feared if he trusted it overly much, he or Gladio would disappear.]

That is a valuable thing to have here. Being alone can make us weaker.

I can agree with that.

[But the manner in which he'd been alone was far preferable. The king would much rather be the deceased one than have it happen to his guys.]

Well then, embrace your experiences here as you can.

[He smiled.]

I plan to. But you're doing the same thing, right?

[Oh. That’s… A horribly good point.]

I’m doing my best to help people here.

[The king nodded.]

That's what we all need to do. Help each other out.

[Reeve chuckles. Oh so very true.]

And how, I wonder, might I help you?

[Noct shook his head.]

Just be the same person you always are.
