MINGLE | The "Everyone's Tired and Hungry" Post-Mission Pizza Party
CHARACTERS: Everyone! A free-for-all general chill-out time, thrown haphazardly together by a mad scientist.
LOCATION: The Mess Hall
DATE: Sometime after the mission. Y'all know.
CONTENT: The Orb Crew tries to relax for a hot goddamn minute.
WARNINGS: Likely drinking or drunkenness, the usual party antics. Very mildly image heavy, NSFW for naughty threads, properly marked.
It seems the party has been properly set up for you all! But of course, there's an exuberant amount of 'Newton*' flair added to it, and people can find all sorts of random things — markers for drawing on the pizza boxes (which he distinctly requested, super important) cover the tables, and it's clear by the one designed like a Pikachu and a dinosaur that he's already began scribbling on them. He's also made... board games literally comprised of pizza boxes as well, including Chess and Connect Four, which is lovingly set up side-by-side on a table and done with intent to annoy.
They've got one deck of cards for games, no chips; you'll have to just make some of your own out of pizza box cardboard. The most grand of all creation appears to be a normal-sized Skeeball table, made of flimsy material, with oranges for balls. It may or may not last the night, but it sure works for now!
There's a very strong bottle of liquor from their last mission open for everyone, and, well, it will get you drunk quite fast if you're not careful. But it's also a Bring Your Own Beer situation; hope you guys asked Viv for some to plan for the party!
Lastly, there's classic bar rock playing from an iPhone rigged to a speaker that looks very very cobbled together, from loose bits and bobs from the lab's many boxes. If you go fiddle with that phone's playlist, you may be able to find a small collection of songs that aren't rock, but are likely from the 90's or early 2000's.
And yes, there is a couch with a sign on it, designated specifically for people who wish to nap. If they'd like. Don't be rude, let people lay down when they're sleepy. (Maybe Newton just put that there for him, honestly.) There are 50 pizzas total, which is practically a whole-ass pizza per person, so enjoy! (And thanks, Viv!)
Feel free to bring your own flair to the party, if you'd like.
These are just a few things for a m b i e n c e.
(*If you mention him, he will appear like a terrible omen.)

I'm sorry.
[She knows saying that doesn't make what's happened okay, and she can definitely relate to what he's gone through.]
I moved a mountain, when I first got my powers. It was the first time I wasn't afraid of what I could do.
[Daisy smiles sadly, remembering that time with her mother. Before she knew the truth of her motives.]
So what is it you do, exactly?
[His powers confused her as much as they impressed her.]
no subject
[The ones responsible would live to regret it. One way or the other.]
Pardon me? [He turns to Daisy fully, brows furrowed.] A mountain? That is truly marvellous.
[The Darkling twitches his fingers and shadows pool in the palm of his hand, like a skein of yarn unravelling across his hand.] I summon shadows. I control them.
no subject
Can relate is all.
[Daisy smiles at his response. It's nice to not be feared, even if in the past people have had good reason to be afraid of her.
Watching as shadows pour out of his hand, Daisy looks from the dark mist up to his face.]
But shadows can't slice through things. Normally. How do you do that?
no subject
[With a smirk, showing off because he can and they're safely hiding his hands from view of the other guests, and the Darkling slowly strokes his palms together. The shadows congeal, growing darker as they push together in to a thin line hovering between his hands. No wider than a hair, the Cut lingers.]
There is darkness in all things. My shadows find it and severs them from the whole, the darkness between rocks and the shadows that will always live between the cells of a body. It doesn't cut as much as it... separates.
[A flick, and the blade disappears, leaving nothing behind.]
