There was a farm that had a dog
[Throughout the day on Monday, everyone still left in the building will find a handwritten invitation delivered to them at some point or another, along with a bonus sheet of paper.
There aren't any decorations upstairs, but there will be food and drink as promised, and lots of variety. Curry, soup and sandwiches, parfaits, homemade potato chips, a cheese plate; Rin went all out. For sweets, there's chocolate chip cookies and a lemon meringue pie, with milk or juice (that looks like it was made from scratch) to wash it down with. Alcohol too, if that's your thing. There's even a bloody mary for Elda, somehow.
As you might guess from the invitation, the bonus piece of paper delivered with the invites is a blank bingo sheet! Whether it's when the invites are delivered or when they come to the party, Rin will give everyone instructions on how to fill it out, and how the game is played.
HUMAN GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BINGO
That should about cover it. But yeah, it's a game designed for the group to maybe get to know each other a little better. Discussion is encouraged, not just for what you have in common, but what you don't! What's most important is everyone have fun.]
WHO: You!
WHAT: Fun and games!
WHERE: The roof
WHEN: 6 o'clock
Hey, everyone. It's been quiet around here lately, so let's keep our spirits up and have some fun! The sun might not be shining, but we still have a great view of the stars, and somewhere warm to watch them from. Food and drink will be provided, so just bring yourself (and your bingo sheet!), and we'll enjoy each other's company.

- Fill out the sheet with 24 simple facts about yourself! They should be anything you're comfortable sharing with others, and most importantly they must be true
- Share sheets with one another! If you have something in common with what's on another person's sheet, you can sign off on that square.
- Players may sign up to two squares on one another's sheets, but only two! Normally you'd only collect a single signature, but this is a small group.
- When one row has five signatures horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, that's a BINGO!
- Whoever has the most BINGOs at the end of the night wins!

'Dyes hair'...? That's not all natural?
no subject
Rideaux chuckles at the question.]
No. [He runs his fingers through one of his bangs.] I dye this part.
[...and since it's been like two months, it has probably faded considerably. But the only color dye he's come across is teal-colored, and even when Alex was alive he was absolutely not going to share a style with her. Teal's nowhere near his color anyway.]
no subject
... Huh. Does it take very long to do something like that?
[ Wait, he did recall that part being more evident at some point -- the color, anyway. Oh well. He knows jack about actually dying hair himself, so. ]
no subject
no subject
[ Next one he'll move to 'likes to party'. Now, he wouldn't set up a big one back home or anything, but y'know, he actually likes them more now that he's been spending time in a place like this. ]
...So, you can dance? Is it the formal kind that people can do?
[ The stuffy kind, he means. ]
no subject
But as for dancing...]
I am hardly very formal about it, but I do know how to dance like that, yes. It's more of a "for fun" thing.
[Yuri's own square about dancing will be of interest in that regard, once he sees Yuri's card.]
no subject
So, does that go hand in hand with 'liking to party'?
[ ... Okay so he knows better but he wants to hear Rideaux's answer. ]
no subject
Well, parties are a good excuse for doing some dancing. It's a shame that we're lacking in music here, otherwise I imagine we would've had a party that involved it by now.
[He'll take a look at Yuri's sheet now. ...he ends up smirking at a bunch of the squares, not surprised in the least by them. After signing off on "likes fighting", he'll ask:]
Care to tell me about the kind of dancing you do in battle?
no subject
[ ... So like, technically 'dancing' in the sense of phrasing 'fighting a battle can be considered a dance'. It sounded better in his head before he put it on paper, probably.
Though speaking of music and dancing he does think it's funny there's no music around even when there's two rooms full of instruments in them...but he'll peer over back at Rideaux's sheet. ]
So you're ambidexterous too, huh? Looks like that makes the total of that up to three of us, if we're counting the dead.
no subject
[He does laugh lightheartedly, though. When Yuri puts it like that, he can see how the flow of battle could end up looking like a dance of sorts. He won't even deny that he tries to look graceful while kicking people in the face when he's able.]
Yes. I wouldn't be able to dual wield my blades half as well if both of my arms didn't have equal strength and accuracy. Also, I find it to be an excellent skill to have as a medical professional. [Boy does he love talking himself up.] I have to say I didn't expect that to be something we shared, though.
no subject
[ See, he gets it. He'll circle...'can do flips' next.
He'll smile a little as Rideaux talks himself up. He's never minded much whenever he does -- when other people do it, it tends to be annoying and less endearing for various reasons. ]
But, I didn't think we'd share something like that either.
... And speaking of that fanclub of yours, you ever get any that end up being a pain in the ass or anything?
[ Overenthusiastic fans or just unfortunately weird in general, really. ]
no subject
Surprisingly, no? My fans weren't bad. A little too excitable sometimes, but nothing I couldn't handle. I enjoyed giving out autographs when they asked.
[He genuinely liked the attention.]
I've certainly never had anything like this apparent stalker of yours.
no subject
[ ...And well, he'll clarify a little more. ]
Especially since said stalker was really a big psycho. Granted, he's dead now but you don't forget people like that easily.
no subject
That sounds like a good story to tell over a drink. We'll have to do that sometime.
[Because he's nosy and it really does sound like it could end up being quite the story.
Let's see, what else can he mark off here... He'll go with "likes curry" if it's not taken.]
You know, this reminds me that awkwardly, I've yet to ask you about your dog. What is he like?
no subject
[ It'll be one hell of a story for the ages, that's for sure...and probably wind up with him having drank several glasses or so by the end of it. But anyway. 'Likes curry' is not taken, so feel free to go for it, Rideaux. ]
Repede's pretty reliable, and you can bet he'll be there in a pinch. As for when he's normally around people, he tends to be rather chill though he can be picky about those he manages to befriend and tends to like his space. But, something tells me that he wouldn't mind you hanging around.
no subject
no subject
He does. Repede also fights pretty well and could even perform artes in battle, making him a partner no one would wanna mess around with. I'm sure he can still kick some ass even now.
[ Good dog, best friend.
Sorry Flynn. ]no subject
Rideaux raises his eyebrows at the mention of artes.]
A dog using artes...now that I would need to see.
[It sounds kind of unbelievable.]
