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. ]

[he huffs and takes a moment... and when he speaks again it's in the plastic fake friendly tone of customer service. Chatty and straight forward and utterly hallow. And lacking all his natural energy for fake cheer and politeness... if one hadn't already heard his natural cadence it'd actually be pretty convincing.
He's practiced]
Thanks again for setting all this up, we'd really be lost otherwise you know? Are you having fun, getting a lot of questions answered?
no subject
She's just gonna be aggressively sincere about her cheer and answers. ]
No problem, I'm totally here to have a good time even if no one else wants to~ and yeah, definitely! Well, not like the important ones are getting answered, but with a prudey crowd like this, I'm not even like, the littlest bit surprised! Maaaybe Coordinator'll be more receptive~? [ Heheh. ] If I'm not too totally tired from throwing this this by myself and setting everything up alone and thinking up all those questions and writing them up thirty-five times, maybe I'll see if she wants to answer some!
Do you wanna have a little back-and-forth with some of these, while we're totally on the topic? You're kinda young, so I'll stick to the kiddie questions, annnd since you're kinda not into them as a whole, you don't have to use 'em if you reaaaaaaaally don't want to. Aren't I nice?
no subject
Oh crap, I didn't even think that all this had to be done by hand. And the parfait bar too... Why didn't you ask for extra hands, someone probably would've helped...
[all that sass, gone in a moment, to the point he utterly misses the second part of what she said]
no subject
Don't fuss at me, I was totally fine doing it on my own! I just said that so you knew all the work I put into making sure everyone was gonna have a good time. [ ??? You're such a goody-two-shoes, Yosuke, but...... ] Besides, there's no point in doing something unless you're gonna do it with your own power!!
[ . . . ]
But if you wanted to make a party brigade or something, I'd totally join up. [ ha. ] That's like, pretty much what my group back home has! Kinda! Really, there's just ooone guy who insists on throwing all the parties, but they're just boring dinner parties, soooo... It's not like they're any real fun.
