AE PARTY! H
AE PARTY!
Hey guys! Sooooo, I've been SO bored lately and I thought it would be a good idea to host a party at my house! Fleet has an art class this coming week so she'll be out of the house for most of the day, and Enigma's out of the house most of the time, so I think my house would be a great place to host a party. Here's a link to a thread saying what the house looks like:

You can join the party whenever you want to, even after the party starts. The more the merrier!! Oh, and feel free to bring snacks/drinks. You can post what you're bringing in the other section!
Apparently AE parties are supposed to have charrie sheets, so here it is. You've got to fill it out before you join, but don't worry, it's short:
Name:
Gender and pronouns:
Appearance (please include party outfit):
Shipping availability:
Other:
Here's mine:
Name: WILD CARD
Gender and pronouns: Female, she/her
Appearance (please include party outfit): I have short spiky hair dyed hot pink, and violet eyes. I'm usually wearing an oversized blue sweater with a white ghost face on it and torn black shorts, but for the purposes of this, I'll be wearing a hot pink cropped tank top, a black pleated skirt, and tall black leather boots.
Shipping availability: Open for shipping with male AEs!
Other: Since I'm hosting the party, I'm making mini tacos and bringing soda and chips.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHO SHOWS UP!!!

Where is everyone?
(July 10, 2019 - 7:42 am)
i'm here.

Here, Lux is waiting for Glass and WILD CARD to do something, and I'm going to RP with Nihil soon.

Nihil~
"I guess the conversation with Vivian didn't go well."
"Your guess is correct. Our talk had potential, but Vivian pressed harder than I cared to put up with. Therefore, I left her with a means to get down off this rafter and no more information."
"Ah. Well, I'd like to apologize for her. She's very hasty at times, and forward, even too much for her sisters sometimes." Rhaksha smiles. I look at her, and, as most do, she flinches unwittingly when I look her in the eyes. Why people look places other than the eyes I do not understand.
"Understood. You apology is accepted. Am I to expect that she may attempt to appraoch me again?" Rhaksha laughs.

One good mark about Nihil is that she genuinely doesn't care enough to hold a grudge if you hurt her in any way. However, the same cannot be said if you hurt Lux. She's very protective of her family and friends, but she currently doesn't know anybody enough to call them a friend. Rhaksha's on a good track, though.

"I haven't upset you, have I?"
"No! Absolutely not!" Dewy exclaims. "I'm not accustomed to parties, either. Even though I've been to, like, four balls. And participated in a few RPs. And a masquerade." She pauses to shake her head. "Do you want me to, like, leave? I made this so weird. Sorry."
I am startled by these last words. Surely I am the one imposing on her, no?
"No, no, it isn't weird in the slightest! Please stay--er--that is, if you wish to. I haven't really much to do here, is all. I only come to such things because Viola? sends me."
As I say it, a thought flickers in me. What if I were to go to a party because I wanted to? Others--they've been running to and fro, shouting and talking with each other. They did not come because they were sent. Why, then, are they here? Why is this AE here?
"A-and you?" I ask, quaveringly. It occurs to me that I might have to explain my question. I ought to let her speak first. I'm keeping her here with this talk when she most likely does not desire to be kept. I clamp my mouth shut.
~I want to hug them, too! The awkwardness. It is incredible. But they are so sweet.

Rhaksha~
I laugh. "Well, probably, but I hope for your sake that she'll wait for a bit."
I've never felt this open before. Normally, I take openess as a weakness, a vulnerability. But not now.....
Sorry for the short post, I don't know how Nihil will react to this.
(July 11, 2019 - 2:27 pm)
Nihil~
My face cracks into a gentle smile. "As do I." I reply, "May I ask exactly why you chose to come up here?" Rhaksha's smile fades.
"Oh, am I bothering you?" I must say, I'm surprised by her considerate actions. I let myself smile again.
"Suprisingly, no." Rhaksha laughs again and thinks about her answer.

Me, LeAnn, Logan, Daniel and Enigma stand around awkwardly for a few seconds. Eyes dart. Postures shift.
"So, if I heard right, some making nice is in order here," I remin them.
"Yes! Um, LeAnn..." Daniel begins...
~
Sorry that was so short, @Diamond Fox I didn't want to be too controlling of Daniel's apology.
Dewy~
I'm so scared xe will send me away, though I wouldn't blame xyr if xe did- but then again, if would be a releif to get away from this awkward exchange. Besides, it would probably make xe feel more comfortable if I just went away, and I feel so bad for how uncomfortable I've already made xyr feel.
But xe shocks me- xe looks surprised, and nervous. "No, no, it isn't weird in the slightest! Please stay--er--that is, if you wish to. I haven't really much to do here, is all. I only come to such things because Viola? sends me."
I mostly take one thing out of this statement--
Xe wants me to stay???
"A-and you?"
And I...? What about me? I think back to what xe said before-- "I only come because Viola? sends me." Could xe be referring to all of the balls and parties and whatnot?
"You mean... And I, why did I come to this party.
Xe gives me a single, red-cheeked nod. Xe's eyes dart around.
"I... I came because... because I keep trying to force myself to-- be more social. Make nice with more AEs. I'm always just watching from the side, knowing who everyone is but never crossing paths... I don't know, really."
After saying this, I realize the though has been weighing on my mind for a while now. I look at Sea Glass to see how xe will react...
I realize that xe and I are very much alike.
~Hmm, they really are though...

Sea Glass~
"You mean... and I--why did I come to this party?" the other AE says.
I nod, a blush creeping up my face, and discard my half-composed answers to questions unasked.
"I--I came because... because I keep trying to force myself to be more social. Make nice with more AEs. I'm always just watching from the side, knowing who everyone is but never crossing paths... I don't know, really."
Her gaze turns to meet mine in full force. I waver, then crack, dropping my eyes to where I've begun to fiddle with my bracelets.
"I w-want to be more social, too." My mind makes a mad leap, and tells me as my mouth moves that she hasn't left or reprimanded me thus far, and I've been able to find words, and just as we both said, we are in search of practice. I stumble through the words but do not cut myself off.
"Would you like to be sociable together? I'm sorry, it's perfectly all right if not, I understand..."
I look up as I speak, inescapably drawn to give my conversational partner the entirety of my attention for so long as she chooses to continue speaking with me. It is only polite.
~SG still doesn't know Dewy's name. I'm very excited to see how xe'll find it out.
(July 12, 2019 - 8:40 pm)
(Oooh, I didn't realize that! Eek, I'm excited and I'm not entirely sure why...)
Dewy~
"Would you like to be sociable together? I'm sorry, it's perfectly all right if not, I understand..."
Xe's question makes perfect sense, considering we both just admitted we'd like to be more social, but it still surprises me that xe wants to talk to me. It's hard for me to consider that maybe people see me in a different way than I see myself.
"Yes, I- I would," I say. Xe looks rather relieved, and gives me a look of great attention. I decide to start.
However, that leave a question- where should I start? What should I say? I'm sure a conversation, however short-lived it may turn out to be, could sprout out of anything... but. What? What could we talk about?
"Do... do you like music?" I blurt out. I blush slightly. "It was just te first topic that came to mind."
~I'm interested to see how this'll play out!
(July 14, 2019 - 3:36 pm)
Rhaksha~
"Well, I came up because you looked like a cool person, and I wanted to meet you." I hesitate, then add, "I, don't have that many friends."
(July 13, 2019 - 1:31 pm)
Nihil~
"I... Don't have that many friends." I look over at her. She's staring at her hands, swinging her legs gently.
"We are similar in that." Silence ensues as I mull over her words. Suddenly, I narrow my eyes. "You thought I, of all the AEs in this room, looked like a cool person that you would want to meet?"
~
Nihil has very low self-esteem.
(July 13, 2019 - 9:08 pm)
Rhaksha~
"You thought I, of all the AEs in this room, looked like a cool person that you would want to meet?"
I look up, startled. "Well... yes. Is that hard to believe?" Nihil doesn't say anything as I continue. "I am adept at judging a person's character, usually, but not in your case. Don't take that badly, sorry, I got off track. Anyway, as far as I could tell, you looked like a cool person at the very least, and I came up hoping you were a nice one, as well. So far, it seems I was right." 99.9% right, at least. I think to myself. She's a bit prickly. But I don't say anything, for fear of offending her.
(July 14, 2019 - 8:51 pm)
Sea Glass~
"Yes, I--I would."
I am glad, but now that my question has its answer I know not what else to say. Fortunately, the other AE saves us both with another question.
"Do... do you like music? It was just the first topic that came to mind."
I nod in anxious reassurance. "I do, I--I do. I like..." I scramble for a genre, an artist, a song. "F-Flowers by In Love With A Ghost? A-and, uh, I'm ALIVE by--by Becca."
We are both red-faced by now. I wonder if she has heard of these songs? Surely I know something she does. I try to think.
~Gosh, what music would Sea Glass like? I'm thinking Fine On the Outside by, uh, whoever did that, Tiu Vou Vou by Freija, Counting Stars by OneRepublic... probably also Winter by Vivaldi and Larsong by Guy Klucevsek. Maybe Greensleeves, too.
(July 17, 2019 - 11:56 am)
(Huh, Counting Stars is probably my favorite non-musical song!)
Dewy~
Sea Glass searches for something to say. Shoot, was this the wrong topic? Xe still seems nervous, the poor bean. My plan was to put xe at ease. "I do, I--I do. I like...F-Flowers by In Love With A Ghost? A-and, uh, I'm ALIVE by--by Becca."
I nod, though I'm not sure why. "Hm. I haven't heard of those songs..."
"O-oh," xe says tenatively. "...A-and you?"
"Me? Hmm." I shift my weight from one leg to the other. "I like anything either calming, inspiring or uplifting... Best Day of my Life by American Authors and Better Place by Rachel Platten are some of my favorites."
I'm inpressed with my own lack of stuttering. I guess I'm gaining some confidence, lost in my firework thoughts about all of the songs I've heard, wondering which are best.
~Hmm, I suppose Dewy's only heard song I have... I don't know how much she appreciates my style, though, which is like folk/indie/soft rock/maybe soul/teeny bit of pop.
