open: gold & glitz

[inlaid]

who: Bryn Zethir & Guests
what: A Gold & Glitz House Party
when: Evening of June 1st
where: Bryn's apartment
warnings: Alcohol, tobacco, and weed.

[Welcome to Bryn's apartment. The door is unlocked, and personal belongings can be tossed up onto the bed just at the top of the stairs. The party's theme is apparent at once. As mentioned on the network post, gold and glitz is strongly encouraged (though no one will be turned away for lacking either) in clothing, jewelry, accessories, or however creatively someone would like to incorporate it. Those interested in participating but lacking anything gold or glitzy will find gold glitter body gel to spread on their skin, compliments of the hostess. There's a bar cart by the front door with a sign that reads WELCOME in gold script. It's laden with short shot glasses filled with what looks like liquid gold. When imbibed, however, it tastes like a faintly peach-flavored vodka. The rest of the alcohol and mixers can be found in the kitchen. Clear plastic cups feature labels that can be written on in gold permanent marker, then filled with any number of beverages. Really, there's no real rhyme or reason to what's available, as guests have been encouraged to bring whatever they like and add it to the kitchen island. For those who don't drink alcohol, there's a sign on the fridge indicating that non-alcoholic drinks and mixers are kept within. Anyone looking to fill their stomach a little between drinks will find platters of finger foods available throughout the apartment. Gold macarons, cheese and crackers, sliced fruit and vegetables are plentiful, but guests who are quick enough may find they can grab some of the thinly sliced beef arranged around a bowl of spicy dipping sauce. Of note, there is also a plate of gold fortune cookies for guests. While it's noted there's only enough for one per person, the fortunes feature not only a fortune but a party challenge. Dance with a stranger? Eat nothing that isn't fed to you? Try your hand at inventing a new drink? Why not try it and see what happens? Play a game of party jenga for that matter. Beyond all this, anyone attending is encouraged to mingle and enjoy themselves. There's ample seating throughout the apartment for people to sit back and enjoy their food and drinks, including a plush rug in one corner covered in floor cushions and pillows around a hookah with a variety of flavors of tobacco. For those who are more inclined to activity there's space enough to dance to the music that booms throughout the apartment. With the windows open the space stays well aired out and comfortable, inviting any who attend to linger as long as they like. By the looks of things the hostess has no intention of kicking anyone out no matter how late it gets...]

[It's completely absurd to Thor that Karamatsu wouldn't just comprehend the situation instantly with no guidance!

Thor finds he's learning quite a bit here too, since he had absolutely no idea Angela was involved in her own romance.]

Perhaps you require the help of someone more experienced in that area. [He just assumes Karamatsu has none.]

I suppose hunting for romance can be as formidable as hunting beasts. For some. [Not him.]

[hevenly]

[ The look Angela shoots Thor conveys her disbelief that hunting for a romantic partner could be anywhere as challenging as actual, literal hunting.

But... She's trying to be civil. ]

Have you had... much success in your endeavors, Karamatsu?

[glitterpants]

_{[ Look, it's very challenging for him. But he doesn't give up, no matter how many times he gets shot down. Like now, for example. ]}

The best kind of help is by experience, as it sharpens your heart. One day, my heart will be so sharpened, it will be a magnificent diamond. Unbreakable.
_{[ there's??? some odd truth in that, somewhere..
He looks back up at Angela, his lips curved upward in a cocky grin. ]}

I have had.. a total of three dates in my life.
_{[ WHAT AN EXPERT. ]}

How about you, Miss Angela? Do you have much success in your.. actual hunting? What kind of gun do you use?
_{[ assuming she uses a gun because Karamatsu loves guns. ]}

lmk if thor should stay and i will edit this

[Now that the conversation is progressing, Thor initiates the unspoken part of his plan. The part where he remains silent and watches as the other two converse. He's still hovering for the moment, to ensure it continues to go smoothly, but he will eventually disappear into the party.]

[hevenly]

Three? [ The number is so small, but then again, the lives of humans are short. ] With the same person or different ones?

[ Angela knows what guns are, of course. Star-Lord uses guns. ]

I prefer blades to guns. Swords or axes.

[glitterpants]

Heh. Different ones. I am a man who chases many hearts, you see. But only few have succeeded in winning me over.
_{[ Only three have been interested in winning him over.. usually so they can take advantage of him. He'd probably date anyone if they wanted to date him. ]}

I see. I have never hunted with such things, but I could take a swing at it.
_{[ a swing at it.. get it.. sword and axe... ]}
