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. ]

...Honesty's only attractive when it's not being heartlessly thrown in the faces of young women. [ Like... a point for truthiness, but... Really. ] What kinda fruit do you like? I'm gonna make you a parfait and then we're gonna trade questions, because if you're here you might as well answer. Think of it as something totally boring, like... I dunno, info gathering.
no subject
...Strawberries. Do try to avoid the particularly painful questions, will you?
[He's absolutely not smirking, that's just your imagination.]
no subject
but that would be an insult to the frickin' parfait, so she's just gonna make two super strawberry parfait (including with like... strawberry ice cream, for extra strawberry here) and slam in on the table next to him before she, much more delicately, sets hers down as she takes a seat. So far he has two redeeming qualities: he's honest and he likes strawberries. ]
What's the most adventurous thing you've ever done?
[ She's starting because it's her party, don't complain. ]
no subject
...This is really good, huh.]
I suppose the most adventurous thing I've done is something I'm only just starting doing. I'm looking into the murder of my superior officer.
[Technically true, but he's way more interested in what Hughes was researching than Hughes's death.]

It's still up in the air. Officially, the investigation is closed, but it's something I've found worth looking into.

[ hahahaha... ]
Your turn! Ask me something totally good, Heartless.
no subject
Anyway, let's see here... The questions Aligula would probably find "really good" have already been crossed out on his sheet, so...]
You have one day left to live, how do you spend it?
no subject
With my boyfriend, of course. If it's really my last day, I wanna spend it with someone I love with all my heart... and totally get married while I'm at it! We'll do everything in that one day—wedding, honeymoon, adoption... I don't want kids, though, so probably something like a sonic monkey? They're pretty cute! Ooh, or a dragomare!
no subject
[But aside from that...]
It sounds like your last day would be very busy.
[But that's not really a bad answer? Most people would want to spend their final day with their loved ones, probably.]
no subject
[ ...this is not a slight against just him, there are several other people this is a slight against. ]
no subject
I can understand that mindset. It's not always as simple as going out and getting what you want, though.
[Otherwise he'd have his war by now!!! But no, of course not.]
no subject
1. Gather a group of people
2. Ask "Hey, who wants to start a war?"
3. ?????
4. War. ]
Sure it is. As long as you're determined and dedicated enough, pretty much everything's in your grasp. Some things might just take a little longer than others. [ Oh, though! ] My turn, right? Hmmm...
[ HMMMMMM... ]
Any kinks out there you gotta shame?
no subject
and speaking of "ALIGULA NO"... he can get the context from the way everyone's been reacting to that one, though he's never heard "kinks" used like that because 1915 not-germany, what do you expect here.]
I'm not answering that.
[oh my god i'm sorry he's no fun]
no subject
There's no passing questions, Heartless! You gotta answer!
