RAT PARTY LOG: Day 105

Who: Everyone and anyone.
What: A party.
Where The menagerie.
When: Day 105


It’s a rat’s birthday party, and if you’re in the labor crew attendance is mandatory. After watching his department's sense of team spirit drop to dangerous levels Psi has decided to try and force people to have a little fun. Of course, the recent lack of camaraderie among the Labor Department isn’t the sole reason for the party; as Ginko had mentioned, anyone who decides to take a look at Rex the rat king will find a seventh head apparently in the process of emerging from around his shoulder. It’s not quite fully formed yet, essentially just a nose and mouth poking through the fur, but it’s very definitely there.


I. GINKO AND REX
A table has been set up near Rex’s enclosure with a number of rat king-safe treats laid out on it, so as to reduce the risk of visitors giving him something he shouldn’t eat. All the same, Ginko will be spending most of his time near Rex, and keeping an eye on things - just in case he has to, you know, discourage people from putting their fingers too close to the new mouth, or something like that. Fingers are not considered rat king-safe treats.

II. TWISTER AND OTHER FUN GAMES
Psi is here as well obviously, and he does have twister. He won’t actually make you play, but he will call you a wuss if you refuse to join in. Twister isn’t the only game they have available though, as later on Psi will also be forcing allowing people to play “Who Am I?” In this game the name of another person at the carnival is placed on a player’s back. Players then have to guess whose name is on their back by asking questions yes or no questions about that person to other people at the party. (Feel free to pick whatever name you want for your character.) Although Labor Department members have to play, others are welcome to join too.

III. FOOD
But what would a party be without the free food? There’s lots of good stuff. BBQ Ribs, Chicken Adobo, Pork Mango Habanero and for dessert there’s cupcakes in the chocolate and lemon flavored variety. Lar’s made it all so feel free to be shocked about that.

((OOC: As this is a party log feel free to make your own top-levels))

"... ah." Taako's voice is... well. Higher than usual. That's... not something he expected to hear come out of this little guy. His eyebrows shoot up, and he blinks down at him for a moment, clearly taken aback. "So, uh, what I'm getting here is, things aren't always this chill around here, are they?"

Steven flushes, and then shakes his head. Wow, was that just a super weird thing he said just now? If it was, he totally didn't notice.

"Some of the people who have been around longer say that it's not usually so bad. The carnival just... kind of got in trouble with some bad guys, and I guess they wanted to take it out on everyone here."

The whole thing was kind of a blur at the time but the combination of getting marred by Peridot and almost getting stepped on by a giant demon along with everyone else... was it weird that he kept thinking about that a lot? He can tell that the people who were captured probably do.
tacosgay: (heh)

"... geez. Sounds like I got myself into some real shit in here, huh, bubale?"

Taako's voice and expression are, well... honestly, a bit softer around the edges than before. Yeah, he's still talking about himself, but there's a clear element of something else just beneath it.

It's not quite empathy, but it might be related to it.

He offers Steven a smile, but it's insincere.

"But, hey, it looks like you guys got outta there alright. I mean, the carnival's still here and all."
starseedling: ("ha ha ha" he giggled)

Steven brightens up a little, shifting past that bad mood more quickly than might be expected. He just doesn't feel like dwelling on it for long. He's at a party!

"Y-Yeah! We got everybody out and everything..." He rubs his neck. "Most of the time I'm just doing performance stuff! I like that way better."
tacosgay: (:))

"Oh, yeah? What's your act?" Ah ha, right out of awkward town and back on track. Cool work, there, Taako.
starseedling: (i will be voting for all of them)

Sorry Taako, this just happens sometimes.

"Uh... kind of a lot of stuff, actually! I play some music, tell some jokes... use my magic powers a bit, and sometimes I pretend that my pet lion ate me!"

Its not the most realistic ruse but he wouldn't want to be too scary or anything. And Lion would only put up with so much.
tacosgay: (wild card)

"Man of many talents, huh. That is so great." And then he pauses. "... you, uh... you have a pet lion?
