A night of feasting and dancing

[geartopia]

⊙

Who: Everyone (guests and non-guests alike)
Where: Geartopia
Summary: Party at the Thirsty Mare Tavern for booze and dancing and everyone's invited!
Warnings: Cowboys and Gears and Parties and Booze but mostly Booze
EVENT INFO: Read about it here if you're a new comer!

With the issue still unresolved as the days passed by, the Visitors and the Guests of Geartopia were reaching a peak as more of them appeared from the time rifts. Morale could plummet, but the mayoress would never allow that.

Thankfully, the city itself was hospitable and welcoming to all. The villagers that composed it were a colorful cast, after all. Perhaps drowning your sorrows in booze and a night of dancing would be helpful. Don't worry about the kids... well, there aren't any age limits here after all (...wait...)!

The Thirsty Mare was a large building that could hold the entire town if it needed to do so. Carved out of wood from the nearby forest with the permission of the Ancient Spirits, it rose above Geartopia like a protective beacon. It was a new building as well, no older than ten years, thus new even to the heroes who had come here before. A symbol of the growing economy and peace all around them, it was half town hall, half tavern.

At night? Definitely a tavern.

Cages of fireflies are hung up in the air, as pieces of moss and leaves are strung decoratively against the large heavy trees forming the building's skeleton. Lighting is provided with gas lamps hung around and a gigantic crystal chandelier in the middle.

To the left, a bar seats a few patrons who get tired of dancing, serving drinks for all. Don't worry; it's on the house tonight. At the far off of the hall, a giant table had been prepped with food: entire turkeys, beans (everyone loves beans here, it's quite magical), rye bread, corn, apple pie and sugar pie.

And the alcohol is definitely felt tonight, as the musicians (two wolves and what looks like a bear) settle in and begin playing. Most serious work could be held off until tomorrow, after all.

For now, have some fun! Try not to get drunk too much, the Cactus Juice here is pretty potent...

Akihiko chuckled softly in agreement. "I don't either... but I get the feeling they're not the same as the ones in high school. I'll help out however I can." But he was no expert on the subject. Fuuka knew way more about machinery than any of the SEES members. Though, he wouldn't wish for her to be pulled here just on that basis.

He didn't mind that question, and answered without hesitation, "I'm from Japan, originally. But then... I was taken somewhere else." He shook his head just then; it wasn't an easy story for people to believe, unless they experienced it firsthand. "As for what it's like, well... I was living in Iwatodai, till I graduated from high school this past spring. It was pretty nice. A suburban area, not too big."

Akihiko turned back to face her at this point. "What about you?"

Of course he would help. She knew he would, her brother was amazing like that. You would think Miki would have expected that question back, but the way she looked now, deer in headlights, she reacted more surprised than anything else.

"W-well uh..." she was holding on to the glass so tightly now, the fear it would break in her hands looked rather real. Releasing her grip, she attempted to (pathetically) look at him. Her entire body felt numb, detached, shaking, and speaking from somewhere else.

"I-I'm from Japan too. I was also taken somewhere else; Hinoto-Ri. Philemon brought us there. He...uh..." he gives out Personas "...y-yeah."

Again she stopped speaking. Frozen in place. Man...this was just beyond pathetic and Miki was mentally hitting herself on the head.

"ARGH!"

Something holding back pushed her on forward. Finally having enough, she put the glass on the floor in a moment of silence after that grunt of frustration, then blurted out everything afterwards. "I didn't live just in Japan, I was in Iwatodai too, but I-I haven't graduated from high school...I...I know about Personas!!!"

Well that wasn't exactly what she had wanted to say, but, well, she had tried.
