Monthly Mingle Log

[thalassino]

Another month has passed and it is time for another oppertunity to mingle. Knowing of the curse that haunts the foreigners, Station Master has taken extra care to plan this party and the preparations only during the daylight hours. Wouldn't want to cause a giant panic, right?

Today, the little tucked away part of the plaza has been livened up with a host of spooky decorations, black cats and witches, skeletons and tomb stones, they have all been placed amongst the food tables, allowing for a casual halloween-ish mood. There are also a lot of pumpkins there, freshly prepared especially for this feast.

The tables of food are back too, filled to the brim with pumpkin pies, pumpkin squash, pumpkin cups cakes, honestly, you can put a pumpkin in and it is there. There are also large bowls of candy, free for the taking.

Naturally the two booths are there again, the one belonging to the welcoming committee, for any new (or old) character with a burning question, and the one belonging to the host club. Who knows what theme they have this week. Only way to find out is to check it out!

Finally, part of the plaza has been set up to allow for the talent contest that was to be held here, organized by a few of the foreigners themselves. Maybe it is time to check it out and see if there are any cool talents on display? Or maybe you have your own talent to display. If so, feel free to visit the show.

As every month, an invitation had gone out to all the foreigners in the day leading up to the party, reminding them of the party, the date, the times, and this time, attached had been an invitation to come dressed up. They might not be able to celebrate Halloween during the evening hours, but maybe a slightly late Halloween party would lift the spirits anyway? Station Master has certainly joined in himself too. For a day, he has exchanged his trusty cap for the scariest thing he could possible think of: a familiar white nurse's cap. 2spooky.

[sniffdeceit]

Yes!

[At least she's honest...]

So very blue.

[rainbowarch]

[It's okay, he's not insulted. He's been called worse things.]

What does blue smell like?

[sniffdeceit]

What do you think blue smells like? Because you're probably right.

[She grins at that.]

You also talk like a tool, but I kinda like it.

[rainbowarch]

[Cielo hasn't heard the word tool used like that, so this is new to him! From the context, it either means weird or it's not a good thing. But she says she sort of likes it, so he's not going to worry about it.]

It smells like blue then.

[He has no idea what blue smells like, so this is the only answer he can give.]

[sniffdeceit]

You've got it!

[And one more sniff for good measure.]

Now who are you, anyway? I know I'm supposed to be expected to be surrounded by strangers right now, but you can't fault a girl for being curious.

[rainbowarch]

[Oh. This means she's new, doesn't it?]

My name's Cielo. Part of the Embryon.

[And he's damn proud of it too!]

[sniffdeceit]

I have no idea what the Embryon is, but I'm sure you're glad to be a part of it!

[Embryon sounds like something that has to do with eggs...]

I'm Terezi.

[rainbowarch]

[Trolls have some of the most interesting names he's ever heard. Repeating names helps Cielo remember them, and this time is no exception.] Terezi. It's a pretty name. The Embryon is my Tribe. A lot of us are here. A lot more trolls here though, ja?

[sniffdeceit]

I would know! I only just arrived.

I don't know if you could call us a tribe, though. Or maybe you could? I never looked at it that way. [It sounds like a cool thing to be called, though. Dave might dig it.]

[rainbowarch]

[He gives it some thought. Can the trolls be a tribe? Well...why not? Serph already invited one troll to join theirs.]

I don't see why not! Anyone can be in a tribe. Humans, trolls, demons, anybody. The important thing is you care about and look after each other, ja?

*wouldn't know... blargh

[sniffdeceit]

Yeah, I guess you've got a point.

[She grins again.] Hehe. A whole tribe of idiots.

[rainbowarch]

But you like them anyway.

[HEAT. GALE.]

[sniffdeceit]

Damn straight!

[Well, mostly...]

Us idiots have to stick together.

[rainbowarch]

[Ha! Exactly. Cielo munches on the food from the plate he's been holding all this time.]

What do you do for fun?

[Half of it is curiosity about Terezi and the other half is he's looking for more ideas on things to try doing.]

[sniffdeceit]

For fun?

[Wow, suddenly anything she could answer for this sounds wigglerish and embarrassing.]

I'm a legislacerator in training! And something of an artist. [Yeah, that works.]

[rainbowarch]

[If she's a wiggler, than he's a child.]

I like flying and exploring. What's a legislacerator?

[He has to say it a little slowly to get it right.]

[sniffdeceit]

I think humans call them something like lawyers? Except their version is so much more boring than ours.

I would never want to work in a human court of law. Unless maybe it was the sort they show on human television where I could spice things up a bit. Hehehe!

[rainbowarch]

[What is a lawyer?]

I don't know anything about that. I'm still learning human things myself, ja? But it sounds like fun.

[He offers her an untouched brownie]

You try any of this food? It's great.

[sniffdeceit]

[Forget the food. There are more interesting topics!]

Aha! I thought you smelled funny! ...And I don't mean in a bad way, really.

If you're not human, and you're not a troll, then what is this new species I get to introduce myself to?

[rainbowarch]

[He's come to terms with what he is. Cielo doesn't believe that there's much difference between "real" humans and himself.]

I'm a combat artificial intelligence in a human body that can turn into a demon.

You can probably just call me a human for simplicity's sake, ja?

[He likes to think of himself as human. He knows he's more human than some humans he's met!]

[sniffdeceit]

That sounds... really awesome.

[Her face lights up.]

Does it hurt you to turn into a demon, or can you just sort of do it?

[rainbowarch]

[Generally, when he tells people what he is, they tend to have one of two reactions: fear or excitement. Terezi is probably the most enthusiastic he's ever heard.]

Nah, it doesn't hurt. I can do it whenever I want.

[He could even do it right now!]

Demons are strong can do lots of things I can't like use magic.

[sniffdeceit]

Could you show me? Is that some forbidden thing, or could you do it right here?

[Of course she's enthusiastic! She doesn't know anyone who can change forms aside from going godtier.]

[rainbowarch]

Sure, sure. Everybody knows about it anyway.

[One step, two steps back and he has a good amount of space. It only takes him a moment to transform. He can smell food and he can smell his new troll friend.

There's a whole lot of not seeing anything going on right now.]

[sniffdeceit]

[But there sure is a whole lot of sniffing, and she steps closer to the demon in order to get a better idea of him.]

Oh my god. That is so cool!

Are those wings? Can you fly?
