To touch the rose unfearful is to meet the thorn

Who: Anyone who wants to come!
When: February 14th, Evening/Night
Where: The Gardens
What: A Valentine's Day Party
Warnings: None in general, but please mark your threads if need be.



[Pulling together a shipwide celebration at the last minute isn't exactly the easiest task. Luckily, a number of people Pepper can't thank enough have stepped up, from those assigned to work with her on maintaining and improving morale, to others whom she's never before met. The effort is enough, even with the ship's limited resources, to offer something other than just dining in the mess hall on February 14th.

Anyone who wanders into the gardens will find the area decorated with bright lights, leading towards a central clearing. A banner is there, welcoming everyone to the Moira's valentine's celebration--notably written in what the computer savvy might recognize as "papyrus" font, thanks to the skeleton of the same name aboard the ship. There are also an abundance of flowers courtesy of Steven, grown in careful arrangements around the area to add a romantic touch. Tables and chairs have been set up here, along with a display of small plates provided through the efforts of the ship's head chef, Loki. The offerings are small, not quite the dinner she'd hoped for, but there's a variety of tastes available, both savory and sweet. This display is decorated with clearly handcrafted heart garlands provided by Frisk, who has taken care to include purple hearts as well.

Potentially of greater interest is the makeshift bar nearby, with people like Miles and Drew there to provide alcohol to those of an appropriate age.

At the center of everything is a space cleared for anyone who might want to engage in dancing. There are a few people who have offered to perform live, including Jay and Steven. She's asked for a mix of songs, from slow and sweet to more festive, since an important part of this is to encourage not just couples, but everyone to enjoy themselves. When people aren't singing, music comes through a sound system borrowed from Tony Stark's armor. Pepper's done her best, however, to wrestle away control of the playlist from him (although she did have to compromise and let one or two AC/DC songs slip into the mix.)

The party will last essentially as long as people would like it to; Pepper's got no set timeline herself, although for the sake of her younger staff it definitely won't be an all-nighter. Still, she's going to count on Papyrus and Frisk, as well as Med'an, Lara, and anyone else willing to show up early or stick around late. And throughout it all will be Pepper herself, bustling around to ensure everything goes well--although she does want to spend some time relaxing herself, when she catches the chance.]

"Is it widespread in your world?" she asks, a little hesitantly. This feels like it could be treading into something personal.

He hesitates, expression a little uncomfortable. "Don't know. You hear things, but. You know. Only ever meet a handful of others."

"Not good things." That's not really a question. Hear things doesn't really imply the best. "Have you seen a trash can?"

It's not even close to the most graceful subject change, but better that she get rid of the napkin filled with glass and try to think of something better to talk about.

He shrugs, not denying it. Usually the rumors of someone doing something strange didn't end happily. There was a reason people like him didn't go advertising in public.

"Uh." He turns looking around the room. "There. But hey, hand it over. I can do it faster."
rraidergirl: (curiouser and curiouser)

"All right, hard to argue with that." She hands him the bundle gently. "Be careful of the glass."
takeitslow: ([Goodtime])

[personal profile] takeitslow 2016-02-26 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, yeah." He's gone for a second and then back where he stood, hands tucked in his jacket pockets. "So. Do I get to know your name or is that two glass throw kind of question?"
rraidergirl: (Your smile's like the sun)

[personal profile] rraidergirl 2016-02-26 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
That pulls a smile out of her. "No, I think you've more than earned the courtesy." She holds out her hand. "I'm Lara. Sorry about the glass."
takeitslow: ([Smug])

"Don't sweat it. I'm Peter." He shakes her hand firmly. "Girls throwing stuff at me really isn't on my list of fears. Not hard to dodge when you're like me, you know."
