🎈GET YOUR ASSES TO OLIVE GARDEN🎈

Sometime in the morning on Sunday, there are little notes that have been slipped under everyone's doors. Written in markers reads the following:

Let's celebrate getting Knuckles back at Olive Garden tonight at 6pm!!!!
Also I'm bored
-Percy

…Yeah………but hey, at least these notes will be customized! Each note has two characters, but, uh, these might not be accurate to who's actually in the room. He doesn't know who everyone's roommates are, so he's just hoping for the best I guess. (Someone's note includes the new guy, More. Shizuka is also on one of these as a pink dolphin with glasses.)

Anyway, the Olive Garden seems to have some balloons floating around. With the current state of the residents, nobody seems to care! There are also chefs in the kitchen who will make whatever you ask, but pushing them around enough will get them to leave the kitchen to anyone who wants to make something. (Thank you Redd.) Drinks are available for everyone, alcohol and regular soft drinks alike, and really? The world is your oyster. … Olive? You get the drill.

[He scoffs.]

A bold opinion for someone who doesn't have said bonds.

[Not gonna even look at them while he says that. At least stay in your lane, goldie.]

[scythegun]

[Oh, that's... kind of sad, Vakama. Sheesh, even he has a family. Speaking of, he's taking a sip at that.

...They're probably pretty damn annoyed with him right about now, aren't they?]

[is2g]

Landlocked?

[ he's not exactly familiar with that term but he's just going to take a shot in the dark. ]

Nah, it wasn't anythin' like that. Try no water anywhere.

[crosswired]

[Congratulations, Vakama is possibly tipsy so of course he's curious.]

Oh. You can have more than one?

[crosswired]

I imagine it must be as complicated as any other relationship, but -- I'd be lying if I said I understood it completely.

[Rio tried her best!]

[plushes]

[ He is staring blankly at Vakama, smiling, cup in hand. He's not drinking anything but he sure is idly moving his cup around. ]

[crosswired]

[Noting that hesitation, but he's not about to call it out in front of everybody, especially with how quiet Gyles has been. He knows he'd be horrified if someone did the same to him for some of these questions.]

[crosswired]

[dang he is beginning to think he chose a bad question]

[crosswired]

...Is it?

[I MEAN HE'S GETTING THE IMPRESSION GIVEN THE GENERAL MOOD DROP HERE BUT]

It's just not something we have with our people, Ashley. There's nothing to feel sorry about.

[crosswired]

[oh that seems normal]

...Is something wrong?

[crosswired]

[WHY IS EVERYONE SO SAD AT THIS]

[scythegun]

[muffled tales of vesperia spoilers in the distance]

[crosswired]

[darn you, tragic backstories]

[crosswired]

And you didn't get authorities on your doorstep in the process? I'm impressed.

[Normally the Vahki kept that sort of behavior under tight-knit control under threat of mental harm... hooray for the police. :(]

[crosswired]

[At least him staring longingly into his wine means he probably tried at some point!]

[crosswired]

[SKJDGHSKJDF oh more, honey no

you ever just stare up at your equivalent of god and go "hey, what the fuck did we do to deserve this" and then god leaves you on read and you just question everything forever?]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Oh- r-right, of course. [ Ashley blushes a little. There's that realization. ] School doesn't have to be for everyone. It's just- it works for me.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Wha- ohhh. Were you in a desert?

cw underage drinking just to be safe

[hashtagafreakingghost]

We- well- it sounds sad. Family's like...like, a universal concept, a...a staple of society. You know?

[ ...She's had quite a bit to drink by now. She can hold her liquor, but she sure is buzzed. ]

When you say it like that, it just- it sounds like you were missing out on it.

[is2g]

[ he'll be nicer to her than others with his explanation. ]

Yeah, and stretch it so that it covers an entire planet.

[is2g]

It works for a lot of people.

[ let him throw her a bone. its really not her fault. ]

But ya said it yerself—part of learnin' is knowin' that there are things ya don't know. The place isn't too important.

[is2g]

[ wolfwood is going to look at his wine glass and its contents. it looks like he might take a drink but there's just one thing first: ]

But would ya want one? Blood or otherwise.

[crosswired]

[Ah, that does make this a little awkward. He shrugs a little, gaze dropping back to his own glass.]

I don't know. I really don't have anything to compare it to. Friendship, perhaps. Teammates. Even just... being proud of our kind. But I don't know where something like a "family" fits in to all of that.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[ Eyes bugging out a little. ]

Oh, my god... Did you... You had to have water, you need that to live!

[reallyfishy]

[Oh no, Vakama... Okay, Raven won't be too gloomy with him since he can tell that's an earnest question.]

Yep. Sometimes ya get married and become part of your partner's family. Or sometimes ya lose yer first family fer whatever reason and then ya go on ta find another.

I ain't speakin' from experience on that first one, fer the record. It's just an example.

[The second one, though...]
