[semi-closed mingle] kigu party!!!
who: The IPRE + cr + adjacent cr
what: exactly what it says on the tin: it's a kigu party lads
when: second weekend of march
where: Casa Del Taco
warnings: none atm! will update if necessary
[There's something strange about knowing he's been here an entire year. Twelve months ago Taako stepped out of the portal into this world and while it's tempting to be kind of morose about it (especially after the past month) he's trying to kick things into a slightly more positive gear. The party is his idea but the theme is Hana's, an idle suggestion about how fun it would be to get everyone into a kigu. The best part about the idea is that it requires minimal effort on Taako's party, because for all that he loves going all out for parties, sometimes it's nice to just throw something together. Especially when he's more interested in sorting out his relationship with Kravitz or hanging out with Barry, who he hasn't properly seen for over a decade. So it's a party but it's a laid back party, texts are sent out a week in advance and he spends any free time preparing for the night.
The house is left relatively undecorated aside from the addition of several oversized cushions and beanbags in the living rooms, but Taako also casts Magnificent Mansion to expand the space. He adds two home theatres, for movies, video games or karaoke, depending on who's in control of the room at the time. There are also extra bedrooms, in case anyone wants to crash for the night.
While the theme of the night - wear a goddamn kigu and look cute as fuck - isn't being enforced by Taako, it is being enforced by Hana, so anyone brave enough to get past the door without a kigu might have to spend the night avoiding a tiny meka pilot.
As expected for a party hosted by the twins, food plays a fairly big role, although like the rest of the evening they've gone for a more lowkey affair. Sliders, falafel, tamales, vegetable platters with dips, about five different kinds of fries (zucchini, polenta, kumera, potato, jicama) and mini pizzas; things that are easy to pop on a plate and eat without making a mess, but it's all fresh and delicious. The dessert and snack options are a little more impressive, between the flavoured popcorns and well kitted out waffle bar. There's candy and Taako's signature macarons, along with a veritable selection of wine, beer and punch, the latter both spiked and virgin.
Rather than do something as simple as baking cookies for everyone, Lup and Taako have a much more fun idea in mind. They've prepared separated batches of sugar cookie dough and laid out spices, flavours and additives; there's cinnamon, vanilla, choc chips, butterscotch, lemon juice, and mint, amongst pretty much any baking ingredient (here's some ideas for inspiration). Be careful not to mess up the wet/dry balance of the dough, although ruined cookies can be a bonding experience. Once they're baked (it doesn't take long), there's confectioner's sugar, butter, milk, water for whatever icing characters desire, as well as toppings such as sprinkles and crushed nuts.
There are a few things to keep people entertained throughout the evening. The sun room has been delegated as a mini day spa kind of space, with sheet masks, nail polish, lotions, and an assortment of hair care tools. There's nothing that's too complicated or that'll get too messy, but anyone who wants to get comfy and indulge in a little self-care is more than welcome to kick back and relax.
In those home theatres there are movies, games and karaoke songs from all different time periods and realities. Anything from Taako's media library is available, plus some extra video games that both Hana and Cisco supplied, from racing to PVP battles to VR. And a few very bad dating sims for shits and giggles. In the rest of the house, more traditional games are available, whether that’s board games like Clue and Twister, or party games like truth or dare and two truths and a lie. At one point someone breaks out a bag of marshmallows to play fluffy bunny. (There are so many of these things, make them up, I'm not your dad.)
Despite the general atmosphere in the rest of the Quarantine during Sampremi, the party is kept relatively tame, although some of the games might get a little risqué as the night goes on, it's not as if he can control what people do. So long as everyone's having fun, he's happy.]

And you can't just take them all in?
[ If the others won't give her up, they're complicit, aren't they? ]
Or whatever it is you're planning on doing with her when you find her.
no subject
I could, but I have to figure out if the girl in question is actually practicing witchcraft or if she's being framed.
(She points at the little cards on the screen.) If you wield your power inappropriately, you get points deducted. So I can't just drag them all into detention.
no subject
[ He looks at the screen for another moment, considering. ]
I wouldn't call it inappropriate use of power if it means you stop her. If you took them all you'd get the framer too, wouldn't you?
[ This casual juggernaut approach is an absolute lie and he would without a second thought bend over backwards to spare an innocent who got in his way, but shh. ]
no subject
But the game doesn't work that way, unfortunately.
(She's underestimated Kravitz, perhaps. Well, she's finished up this week at least and is presented with her five student council members to hang out with.)
This is– here, you get to pick the girl you want to hang out with. You can go and do things together, like go to the movies or on a picnic or to the museum. (It's nice.)
no subject
[ His expression changes, suddenly less the cold enforcer with no regard for the lives of innocent collateral (what an absolute crock) and more the romantic trying not to seem too enamored with the idea of picnic dates (much more like it). Just ignore the way he brightens slightly and his interest seems suddenly less detached. ]
Had - ah, had you chosen one already? Or is this the kind of thing you're supposed to do with everyone at some point.
no subject
(Lucretia turns a little embarrassed then, shrugging a shoulder as she selects Vonne from the list.)
But I, uh– it's more fun to complete one route, instead of dividing your attention up. Vonne is my favourite so far.
