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. ]

[ That gets a bit of a start from her, and a curious look. ]
What makes you say ginger?

...God, listen to me, see, this is why I need my notes--
no subject
[ That makes her smile, actually! ]
Cool. I guess that does fit, yeah.
no subject
[ But the fact that she isn't looking at her like a crazy person is definitely a relief. ]
no subject
Alright, but now you have to pick a question to actually ask me.
no subject
[ She actually has to scour through papers, to find her question sheet, give her a hot second... ]
Oh, this one's cute. What's your favorite thing about yourself?
no subject
[ That's... oh, that's a hard one, actually? This shouldn't be hard, probably, shoot uhhhhh ]
I'm a fast learner?
no subject
[ She finds it admirable enough, at least. She'd like to say the same thing about herself, but, it's only true in some regards; in others, she's far too stubborn to say that in good conscience. But at least she can acknowledge that. ]
I mean, I'm sure you're bright, to be in the position you're in...

As for mine, I'd prrrobably say my athleticism? I've always been pretty good with that sort of thing. Gymnastics, I mean. Y'know, cartwheels and handstands and whatnot...
