dropoffs | W6 💤 BALLROOM (ANTI)BLITZ

[ hello. welcome to ballroom. we really appreciate you coming!! the doors are locked and the whole gang's here. "including baiken?" yeah! senior crew as well.

the current set-up of this ballroom seems to have been split off into three separate spaces.

the first space is the party space! it…weirdly looks like what you'd almost expect from a high school prom? it's fancy decor, beautiful decorations, and all of the food and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) you could ever want. somehow there's a purikura booth set up as well for some cute photo ops, and there are plenty of tables, chairs, and floor space for anyone who wants to dance or play party games with your friends. we have an hour, go nuts.

the second space is a little less intensive, decorated with beanbag chairs and couches. a large projection screen is on the wall to stream movies, and there are a few library books for your perusal, along with some board games. this is the zone for those looking for something a little more chill.

finally, there is a cute little glamping set-up (not entirely photo accurate) with mattresses, blankets, and pillows. you may have to share a bed with a friend, but it's better than the floor, right? stake your claim and get cozy. we're in for a long night. ]

[ kazuki's brought his guitar and haze as usual, but instead of playing, it's been set aside for now. instead, he's gathering chairs and blankets to set up a blanket fort near wherever temenos and throne have settled for the night. come join him!

alternatively, he might come to you with a drink in hand. ] Hey, we should get photos.

[ pointing at the purikura booth! let's go let's go!!

closer to the end of the hour, though, kazuki will be settled near the blanket fort, idly playing his guitar. if you have any song requests, let him know and he'll do his best to accommodate anything but wonderwall. ]

[ posting to establish that temenos is just laying here on the glamping bed in the fort, listening to kazuki play his guitar in the :contemplates: pose. hands on his chest, eyes closed, just listening. vibes. ]

[ hehe. during a lull, he looks in with a small grin. ]

Falling asleep already, Mistral-san?

Hardly.

[ though he sounds maybe a little sleepy. ]

I'm just listening. Resting my eyes a touch. [ he lifts one hand to wave it, lazy. ] What are you playing?

If you say so.

[ don't tease the injured man ]

It's the song Akito and I made together.

[ cute... eyes still closed, a smile crosses his face. fond... ]

Well, don't let me stop you. [ he settles back in again, hands folding. ]

Doubt you could if you tried.

[ he will just keep playing for a bit, then! it's still a rock song, but a bit more gentle and optimistic than the sort he usually plays. not terrible, for what could be a very bittersweet memory come tomorrow. ]

That thing takes photos?

Yeah, and you can add stickers and stuff to them, too. They're really popular back home.

Want to give it a shot?

Hell yeah! Show me how it works.

Alright, come on, then.

[ time to give brad a quick purikura tutorial! ]

[At least it is simple enough for him to use.]

So do you do this as a group, or is this an individual thing?

Whichever you want, really. The only limitation is how many people you can fit in the booth.

Yeah? Well two of us should be able to fit in, if you wanna take a picture with me. Otherwise you can wait and see what awesome pictures I can do on my own.

I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want it. You can figure out your own pictures later.

Okay, let's go!

[Into the purikura he goes!

He will sit politely for the first picture only. The second one has him making a peace sign. The third one has him making a face. And for the fourth he will suddenly become very cute but he changes back once the picture is taken.]
