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.)

[Mr. Rosy Cheeks takes a big gulp out of his cup, and then squints at Yzak with a huff.]
What else did I have to do?
no subject
I'll admit, though, these are pretty impressive.
no subject
C'mon.
[He grins a shit-eating grin, oh-so-proud of himself.]
Yeah? I knew you were a big fan of Connect Four, so I figured I'd do it for you.
no subject
... What kind of music is this supposed to be, anyway?
[ It's not only not really his type, but absolutely not his time. ]
no subject
[He gives him a little teasing nudge.]
Broaden your horizons, man, you're killing me here.
no subject
Rock music from when? None of this even sounds familiar.
But it's not as if I'd be familiar with anything current in the genre, either. I wouldn't say it's my preferred type.
no subject
[Oh, wait. Waaaait.]
What year are you from?
[DID HE EVER... BOTHER ASKING...]
no subject
[ He says like, duh! ]
Cosmic Era 74! What is this about the 80s and 90s, are you even talking about AD there?
no subject
[He shakes his head, looking alarmed.]
The 1970's! 1980's! AD!
When the hell is a Cosmic Era?
no subject
The Cosmic Era was what we changed the name of our dating system to - well - 74 years ago. But it was a long time between that and the late 1900s. Roughly [ How long exactly? Who the hell knows! But the little information about the changes the world went through before that implies it was some time. So whatever that time is goes here. ] years.
no subject
Then I'm totally dead as a doornail by the time you're born.
[Clearly the most important takeaway of that information.]
no subject
[ Now he's thinking of a dead Newton and he doesn't like it!! Yzak is supposed to the buzzkill, here! ]
But technically you're not! Because we have nothing like what you've described in any of our history! So you probably never even existed.
[ A beat, before he just slaps a hand to his own forehead. ]
Argh! That doesn't sound any better!
no subject
Can't believe you'd scrub me out of history so coldly.
[Behold, he's shifted to amused teasing.]
1/2
no subject
But, you know, it's in that completely harmless way where he knows his chain is getting yanked and he is absolutely used to that, maybe even deep down expects and likes it (thank you for saving this conversation Newton), but knows no other way to express this than get bristly. ]
Oh shut up you lush!
And for your information, my horizons are very broad! What kind of other music do you have on that thing anyway?
no subject
Did you just call me a lush? I should've known Herm had a kid out of wedlock at some point!
[Good luck wiping this grin off his face, buddy.]
I've got some other music. Not a whole lot, but you know, I got some stuff put aside for particular moods. Why? You not a fan of old dive bar rock? I've got modern club stuff if I'm feeling fiesty.
no subject
[ !!!!!!! Crossing his arms! ]
And I'm just curious! I didn't say I wasn't a fan, but it's just not exactly my preference.
no subject
[He doesn't sound particularly sour about it, though.]
What is your preference?
no subject
[ """""""Some"" pop. More like one (1) pop. ]
But I'll listen to something like rock or anything else just fine as long it sounds good!
no subject
[He rubs his chin.]
... I've got some Pink Floyd tracks that sound pretty ambient. I think.
Wait — what kinda pop? [He grins, which is just a way to say he's about to make a dumb joke.] Brittney or Christina? Oh! *NSYNC or Backstreet Boys?
no subject
... Lacus Clyne.
She's an idol on PLANT. I wouldn't say was one, but she's also the daughter of one of our former leaders, so as of recent she's been more involved in political matters than those of entertainment, though in the past she's blended them both in the name of peace.
