it's not unusual to have fun with anyone
[ The ballroom's a little swanky for a simple get-together like this, but...
Well, actually, judging by what you see when you come in at the appointed time (or even before that, but Aligula'll be huffy if you do!?), what was advertised is not exactly what's going on. Continuing her war on paper, Aligula's put up origami hearts (or her attempts at them; she got better as she figured out what she was doing, but they're not the best) pretty much everywhere. There's also sheets taped to every wall with encouraging things in her curly-cute script like GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER! and FIND A PARTNER! and WELCOME TO SPEED-DATING!
...Yeah, welcome to speed-dating.
There's a lot of chairs paired together, presumably for the whole "partnering up" thing, and everyone anywhere near the ballroom will be getting a sheet of questions titled SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS. There at least seems to be food like she promised? At least... there's signs pointing to the dining room across the wall to suggest it, and entering the dining room gets you hot chocolate (and water, if you're boring, as well treating you to the sight of a parfait bar, with various cups and glasses to stand in for actual parfait glasses. There's also things for making sandwiches—she pretty much grabbed whatever she could think of from the fridge and such—and of course, plates and utensils and etc.
And if none of that's appetizing then, like, kitchen's not that far, go make something yourself. She put a lot of work into this whole thing but especially the parfait bar because she loves parfait and everyone can have fun making those.
If you don't think your character would've come without a little help, don't worry; even if Aligula can't bodily drag everyone, she sure can bother them aggressively until they come just to get her to leave them alone. All in all, don't sweat the small stuff and have a good time getting to know each other! Or go sulk and play the piano, whatever. ]

She already knows about the husband thing so she's waving it off, whatever. ]
Then just use it to like, get old lady friends or something! I'm not gonna complain too much as long as people are having a good time and not being Sulky McPoutyfaces.
[ she'd prefer if everyone found the love of their life though of course!!! ]

[ She smirks, as if testing how Aligula will react to that, leaning over the table with gleam in her eyes. ]

[ ...Come to think of it, she's the oldest one here, isn't she. Interesting. ]
I don't think I've ever been around so many humas in one place before, really. It's kinda fun, even if they can get kinda uptight about how they use their time. [ sourpusses. ] Do you hang out with 'em often back where you're from, or are they... you know... Only like, livestock?

Man, that does sound nice. siiiigh. ] But we do live apart. My family's manor lives just outside of a small human city called Shihaba and we've got a barrier to keep people from finding it. Outside of hunting them the last time I spoke to a human's got to have been over seventy years ago, before this.

Her. Being fair, look at this party. ] Mmm, I wonder if we're in Hellsalem's Lot! This is totally the kinda thing you'd find in it.

Dimensions are those floors of a building like other worlds, right? So this Hellsalem place is like... what, the floors broke and crashed together?
