[OPEN]
WHO: Pyra, Shen Qingqiu and OPEN.
WHERE: Town Hall.
WHEN: 5/4.
WHAT: Birthday party for Pyra.
WARNINGS: General OOC.
[ It was just like he had said before -- people need to have a party, especially after the latest event. Shen Qingqiu, himself, wants to wash away memories of his shamelessly rude behavior. But more than that, he wants to celebrate the birthday of someone that has made the lives of those living in Chroma better. Whether she is willing to admit that she has or not!
So, of course, the party is still going to go on. Of course, he is going to rally the people to come join him once again to have a wonderful time. It's a party that's meant to have everyone enjoy themselves, everyone smile, and fill the whole space with warm feelings. Fucking Town Hall is gonna get colored all over the fucking place with how many good emotions are going to come pouring out! It won't know what hit it!
So is his mantra! So is his hope! And it is everyone else's hope too, isn't it? Everyone who worked hard, everyone who put their time into this. He's grateful for them, because they are also wanting to see the best possible outcome.
Come and enjoy -- come and make another day brighter! ]

FOOD
Also oranges. Peeled oranges... everywhere, on the display of food, on the tables across the hall, maybe even in the games or in your drink, courtesy of Sinistra.
The wine is provided by Wei Wuxian, careful, though, because it's quite strong even when mixed into a punch.
Additionally there is a beautiful cake! Made by Ardyn and Shen Qingqiu. ]
no subject
Oh-- oh, excuse me! One moment-- [ She's already reaching up to the top of your head, and taking back an orange slice. It probably fell from somewhere and landed on your hair. ] --ah, there we go.
[ She giggles lightly, holding out the slice of orange upon her palm. ] Do you think that counts as good luck? [ Like petals in springtime. ]
Cake
[ It's a beautiful cake, and by this time many have already devoured a good portion of it. But as someone who always thinks of others first-- and as someone who has had this cake, the oranges, the meat, and the wine already-- she pauses with the serving knife in hand, asking: ] We're... allowed seconds, right? Did everyone get their fill? Did you have seconds yet? You should, it's really good cake.
[ HERE HAVE SOME MORE CAKE. ]
Waaaay too much to drink
[ Wow wow way to get teary-eyed at her own party, but she can't help it! She's really touched! All of this is wonderful! She didn't expect that this would be so fun!! Especially after last month, and especially since a being like her doesn't actually have a birthday-- she had simply chosen an arbitrary date-- much less guess that anyone wold want to celebrate her birthday. And so now with a few drinks on her and feeling hella sentimental, Pyra will be making an announcement.
Ding ding ding, tapping on the glass. ]
I... I jus' wanna say-- that I love, I love-- hic-- [ Wobbles. ] I love everyone here...!!!!! [ And she's going to decide that the best way to express her appreciation is to tackle-hug the nearest person. Which would be you! ]
waaaay too much to drink
It seems.............. he waited too long to say anything. He doesn't know whether to laugh or to cry. ]
I feel the same way.
[ He smiles helplessly and adds: ]
Happy birthday.
[ Will she remember anything of this conversation? Maybe it's for the best. ]

[ Crowe has been helping, quietly, going into the woods to bring back roots and herbs and berries that she knows or strongly suspects are edible.
So she's not at all shy about filling her plate to a heap and eating with gusto. She's been a castout orphan on the streets, she'll always eat when there's enough food. ]
WINE
[ Unlike some, Crowe has developed a reasonable alcohol tolerance as a soldier. So she's actually quite enjoying the wine, taking it straight, thank you very much. ]
Hmm, this is nice. Cheers!

He's carefully carved himself a plateful of lion (and balanced some fruit on top to be healthy), content to wallflower here by the food for probably the majority of the party if nobody interrupts. This isn't to say he isn't friendly though!]
What kind of creature is this, I wonder.....ah, would you like an orange? They're quite juicy!

ENTERTAINMENT
Magilou and whoever she's manged to
conscriptround up for live entertainment are also here to bring you laughter and smiles, whether intentionally or not. They are all professionals. No boo'ing the entertainment, they're technically volunteers.Or maybe sing and/or dance to the lovely songs as played in the background by Tristan and Shen Qingqiu. ]
no subject
But, Pyra had helped him! And he wants to support Shizun. So here he is, sitting on the ground and eating meat with his hands like the grubby little thing he is. He's watching his housemate's show in quiet appreciation, not sure how she has the will or confidence to parade around in front of everyone. Good for her, though. Can't relate. ]

Mmmm, I chooooose... [ Tapping a finger to her chest, smiling. ] Dare. [ Sipping her wine. ]
Entertainment
[ Wow, even a performance! She'll be laughing at every joke, even if they don't land, because she is girl with a big heart and enjoys even the simplest forms of comedy. Even when there might be some slapstick. ] I guess you can say that was quite the... punch-line.
[ Eeeeeeeey get it. ]
Twister
Mm... my foot on... This gray one? [ Depending on how far you're into the game with her, you might be across the mat or right next to her. ] Or this one? [ THEY ALL LOOK GRAY TO HER. Maybe they should have made patterns for the twister game. ]
Dancing to the Music
Come! Dance with me!
[ Already pulling you out! Nothing serious, probably just for a bit of a (tispy) spin or two. ]

Most of the time.
It is intentional when she's up on stage for an early pre-show show(?), dealing card tricks with her Guardian dolls and tossing confetti around. There's quite a lot of it on the ground after she's done shower after shower of sparkles, and while it may be gray, it can still sparkle.
For now, she's set up a covered box on a table in front of her, which she's thrown several cards into. They're all written in fancy handwriting: Matters of the Heart, My Biggest Shame, The Moment of Truth, There's A First Time For Everything, No Pain No Gain, and Anything Goes. ]
For all the folks who've made it here early, welcome to Magilou's Midday Monologues! For the first part of today's act, I'll need a volunteer from the audience! Pick a card, any card, and we'll have a nice long chat about the topic!

never have i ever time, BABY!!!
[ she’s not so stupid as to put herself in the position of playing anything else, but she’s sneaky about what she reveals. with a hand held up to stop whoever wants to play with her from going first, she reveals her first truth. ]
Never have I ever – aha. Gone swimming.
[ humans love swimming, right?! surely whoever she’s playing with will have to take a drink. ]

[ He cups his hands around his mouth before projecting his voice over the crowd of people. ]
I wish to take this time to say that Archer is the one that came up with all the music that you are hearing tonight. Please be certain to praise him if you like what you heard.
[ He is a very embarrassing parent, but he wants other people to be just as proud of Archer as he is, goddamnit. ]
NEVER HAVE I EVER
Goodness. This sort of game, is it?
[ Well, he's already in the thick of it so he can't just walk away. Tapping his fan against his chin, he thinks of something that he has never done that still will allow him to maintain an elegant appearance. ]
Never have I ever... [ Oh, what ever! Go big or go home! ] ... been in a harem.

She's never performed as part of an act, but audiences and public speaking are no source of anxiety for her. She plays the straight man to Magilou's funny man without flaw, replying dryly and exclaiming in disbelief exactly as rehearsed. She lacks Magilou's sharp improvisational humor, but Saber holds her ground in her own way, never losing her composure even when Magilou decides to throw in something a little extra. Her excessive seriousness might even be its own point of humor...
When her part is done, Saber exits the stage with the same nonchalance she'd have walking out the front door of her house. There's nothing weird about her being part of a comedy routine, why would there be. ]

MINGLE
no subject
[ This guy strolls in with an even more annoyingly self-satisfied expression than normal, and that's saying something. He's sunburnt and a tad thinner, but overall doesn't look much different than he did a week ago, when he and Xie Lian went off on a voyage of discovery along the northern coast. He isn't by himself; he's accompanied by one of his much-repaired life-sized puppets, with creepy painted-on red eyes. Wei Wuxian himself is empty-handed, but his puppet is carrying a box full of wine bottles.
With a sweep of his fingers, he directs the puppet to set down the bottles on a nearby table. While this is happening, he looks around, admiring the intricate decorations livening the Town Hall. ]
Hmm, I wonder if Maiden Saber brought the fruit yet?
MINGLE
[ By this time, he's had one or several glasses of the fruit punch, and so he's happily going to bounce up to you, whoever you are, and cling onto your arm whilst singing out happily: ]
Did you know? The forest doesn't go on forever! There's an end to it, I've seen it! I saw it for sure! Ask me about it, ask me!

The same sort of warm feelings... of closeness... ah, I really am getting old! The fact that I can feel all nostalgic about these things proves it!
He snaps open his fan and lightly cools himself down with it. Looking to the person to his side, he offers a small smile. ]
Having a good time? This building really should be repurposed for these sort of events rather than let it rot, ah?

[ While WangJi has definitely been upset over the last week, the last little while, he's been standing straighter and extremely efficient. Maybe not particularly more verbal, but efficient all the same.
Now, he actually does hum quietly. ]
Needs better alignment, [ as he looks at a section of the decoration, and yes, he'll go fix it, himself. ]
MINGLE
[ Between the fact that WangJi is not much of a party person at all, and the stifling concern for the missing Wei Ying, WangJi was not going to show up for the actual event. But now that the latter part is resolved, WangJi is becoming aware that it would be rude to not show up at least for a little while.
Still. His social skills are. Lacking. So he's probably near the edges of the crowd, slowly chewing on an orange slice. ]
