It's a Watts party! (Just don't tell him)

Who; Aerith + YOU
What; Potluck party
Where; Gray building's downstairs common room
When; Sunday June 26th; after 4pm
Warnings; None


Aerith co-opted the common room of the gray building starting on Saturday when she began the process of decoration. The most important part of any decoration (especially for Watts) was the flowers and Aerith had put together a few center pieces for tables. Each flower that she'd chosen had symbolized friendship in some way and they were set up in the center of small tables that had been brought inside. Of course she wasn't the one that moved those tables, she had a trust bodyguard for things like that, but she did the decorating!

And the cooking! The main attraction was a pretzel bar in the center of the room. Please, thank Cloud for bringing it in and Jacob for making the pretzel rack at Aerith's request. The soft pretzels were premade and there were plenty for everyone who may come through to have several (if not more). In addition to that there were also several dipping sauces to choose from including cheese, caramel, cinnamon sugar, honey mustard, and a spicy ginger sauce with chili flakes (eat at your own risk).

A table next to it had Materia Xiaolongbao. Yellow is crab flavor, black is soybean, blue is pork, green is cilantro, and red is spicy shrimp. Next to those are tiny moogle sweet bean buns. They fit in the palm of your hand but some of the moogles look...a lot better than others. She did her best!

There was another table with a few drinks set up for people to grab including a materia bomb cocktail with a bit of alcohol and different flavored materia ice (peach, strawberry, and blueberry) and bright green bubble tea with pop bubbles in the bottom. The green tea is flavored like something very different than one might expect it to be, it's a bit bit bitter and yet also a bit sharp, almost biting. It's meant to be the flavor of wind, whatever that's supposed to be. The pop bubbles are extremely sour and explode in the mouth with the sourness. The drink is also somehow fizzy, don't ask how.

A third table was empty save for the friendship bouquet at it's center. There was a little handwritten note on the table saying:

Leave your dishes here! Complete with a heart.


Aerith herself can be found wandering around and paying close attention to the drink table, making sure to run back to the kitchen quickly to grab more drinks if they run low.

OOC: Feel free to use this log as an open thing for anyone to mingle and get to know each other. Characters are welcome even if they didn't bring a dish themselves, but the more dishes the better! Anyone is welcome to come even if they didn't know she was throwing this party, it'd be pretty obvious that there was something going on in the Gray Building and she'll be leaving the door open with a small table that has a friendship flower bouquet on it. Please have some fun!

When Cole stepped in to the common room on the ground floor of the Gray building, he suddenly remembered seeing a network post about this little potluck. He'd somehow forgotten that a, it was taking place in his building, b, that it was today, and c, that so many people were actually going to show up.

Never one to turn down free food, he doesn't mind helping himself. Besides, he has absolutely no name for himself here in Aterat, and if he's planning on getting any work, to support his habits (bad or otherwise) then he's going to need jobs. The best way to do that was to find people he could work for. He had to hand it to this Aerith, she had a good head on her shoulders, getting everyone together like this.

And she has pretty damned good taste in booze, too. Sure, it's the middle of the day and the cocktails are a little weak for his taste, but all in all it wasn't too bad. If anyone chooses to join him, he slides one of the pre-mixed cocktails, the pink one (it's peach) their way, which means they're drinking whatever he's drinking.

"Take a load off. The party's not half bad."

Did she have good taste in booze? Rhy didn't know. He wasn't a mixed drink person. Instead he was pouring a drink from one of the bottles of wine he had brought. There was no proper lagers or ales, so this would have to do.

"Yes, Miss Aerith has done something wonderful," Rhy agreed to the stranger, offering him a polite smile.
