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. ]

No adoring crowds, that's for sure. It can be a pretty thankless job...

...but yeah. I guess...that was what I liked about it. Helping people. [She frowns thoughtfully.] It all feels so long ago now.

[...she'd have expected something like that to have some sort of thanks--she saved people's lives, shouldn't she have gotten something for it...? Her look dampens a bit.][...] Did you retire, then?

I just sort of. Went on leave, and never came back.

...That bad? I couldn't imagine doing something like that--it's good that you took matters into your own hands, though.

[she...supposes....?????]

It wasn't really...just that. The job. There were...some other things happening?

[Things she doesn't want to talk about. Even though it probably makes her seem...flighty or something, doesn't it, leaving her job for no reason?]

But, yeah. I left.

[...she won't press, though her eyes go sympathetic.]

It's fine. It was a bad place, then.

...yeah. Sure. I was going to need to find something else soon, but now...

...I guess you probably don't have to worry about finances, do you?

[personal profile] destage 2017-09-17 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm...not really, though I've been saving quite a bit of my money for a while. I don't really think that's fair to say, especially since before I went off to school, I was living with my dad. Gotta make sure you have enough of a nest-egg to start with, you know?

That's smart of you. A lot of kids who get famous just blow it all right away. Then they don't have anything, when their careers end...

...I guess that's mostly child actors, though. You could probably keep doing music for as long as you wanted.

[...]

I hope so, anyway. I mean...if we don't get out of here, that's going to put a damper in matters.

[That's...different.]

[personal profile] ninehundredlives 2017-09-18 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
...yeah. Yeah, of course...

[Look at her, talking like Sayaka will escape. Ha.]
