WINE PARTY EVENT

[selfgodded]

Who: EVERYONE IN HINOTO-RI
Where: The Square in Scorpio Ward
When: Begins 00:00 New Years!
Summary: Anant and his Persona Dionysus throw a wine party! Mingle, have fun, and watch out for the drinks, some of them are spiked...
Warnings: Alcohol, so expect some silliness in this log. All of the silliness.



It began entirely by accident, really.

Anant had learned that one celebrated the turning of the New Year - a novel experience, really! A world that didn't stand still, that had the cycle of night and day, and the turning of the seasons; the thought of beginning time anew was something beautiful and magnificent to the deluded god. No wonder humans would celebrate such an event!

Dionysus had suggested that perhaps wine would be the best thing to toast the New Year with - and, of course, it would be best to celebrate it where the moon was high in the sky and the stars in view. Atmosphere was just as important! Their quest took them to the square in the Scorpio Ward, nicely fixed up from a past event (something about scorpions, they didn't pry). Anant, of course, brought their own table.

Dionysus supplied the wine, Anant pushed it upon those who were passing by at the time, and soon a crowd began to gather. It started small, but Anant's bubbly personality, delicious wine, and the lighthearted atmosphere drew more and more Hinoto-Ri natives to the scene, and eventually, some of the new arrivals. By the time the clock struck midnight, on the New Years, a large impromptu party had taken over the square!

The free alcohol was possibly the cause of it, but so long as everyone was happy and having fun, why should Anant object to such a thing! To observe such a large congregation of people together - it was magical! Fantastical!

Devious.

It was just past half past twelve in the morning when the 'effect's began appearing. But what did one expect, accepting alcohol from the God of Lunacy? With the moon so high on the sky, washing down on the people below, on such a jovial occasion, how couldn't Dionysus splash a bit of mischief in there?

So have fun, my fellow inhabitants. This night will surely be memorable...

[OOC: Sorry for the tl;dr! Alrighty, so everyone can mingle and do as they please in the comments! You do not have to know Anant to log in - you don't even have to interact with them! Just do your own thing and have fun!

Erika is so glad she came to this party. Half the guests are characters from awesome shows and games and things have been going unusually well for her besides. Drinking the luck wine probably helped. She's already found a ten dollar bill on the floor and gotten the last of one of the more popular hors d'oeuvres. So she is in a very good mood by this point. Also, after meeting so many people whose canon she could identify, it's actually sort of novel to meet someone who is a total mystery.

"I don't think we have. I'm Erika."

i have only one happy icon for him, this is sad.

He'll offer his hand for a shake. He's not sure why, but he's feeling particularly chatty with the girls tonight. As much as he usually wants to, talking to women at parties is usually something he avoids. Maybe it's because he's no longer at home? Sure. That works.

"Nikolai. Just Nik if you prefer. I just arrived here a few weeks ago, so I haven't met a lot of people yet."

[unlimited_shipping_works]

"Nik, then."

She shakes his hand and grins.

"Yeah, I've only been here about a month. I have to say, its a lot quieter than I expected."

[doesasordered]

"Really? What were you expecting? Considering all the commotion with the Jack demons, and all that..."

[unlimited_shipping_works]

I was honestly expecting more dangerous demons to come out during the dark hour. And maybe some government organizations exploiting persona users somehow.

[doesasordered]

He smirked a bit at that. "You mean this place isn't exciting enough for you as it is? Sounds like you want a bit of Hollywood movie action on top of the rest."

She smiles right back, raising her drink slightly. "I wouldn't mind it. The place I came from was full of crazy things, so I thought this might be the same."

She takes a sip of the drink thoughtfully. "Although, back home it was mostly things that were a lot more mysterious. Like headless riders." She said as if she were talking about the weather.

[doesasordered]

"Headless riders? Do you mean like... the headless horseman?" Nik's eyebrows raise a bit, but he's not totally surprised. Considering all the things he's seen and dealt with back home, a headless horseman would fit right in.

[unlimited_shipping_works]

"Pretty much exactly like that. Except replace the horse with a motorcycle." She stops to laugh.

"I guess that sounds pretty crazy, but I've actually seen it up close."

[doesasordered]

"That's a new one on me. I wonder if this city has anything like that..."

[unlimited_shipping_works]

"Wouldn't surprise me. Then again, there isn't much that would surprise me. Not at this point."

[doesasordered]

"Same here. Though, this city is working on it. I never had to deal with demons before I got here."

[unlimited_shipping_works]

"Heh. I know what you mean. I've heard stories about demons and things, but I never expected to be fighting them. And definitely not with a persona."
