☆ Victory Celebration! ☆
Who ☆ Space Gold Medalist Steven Universe, and everyone who wants to come in the Carnival!
Where ☆ Carnival Grounds, the Cookhouse
What ☆ Surprising many a person, someone in the carnival has actually won a gold medal- Steven Universe in professional wrestling! So it's time to throw a surprise party for the carnival's latest star!
When ☆ Some time after the medal announcements
Notes ☆ This is a mingle log, so feel free to make your own top levels and tag around. Joker went around asking the other supervisors to tell their own underlings about how this was being set up, so feel free to handwave your character coming over to help cook or decorate, or even include it as a prompt!
Feathers the Dartrix, for the last few hours, has had to do a Very Important Job.
He knows it's important because Joker stressed it to him very clearly and carefully, using simple words for a tiny bird. The Very Important Job has been to distract one Steven Universe. It's been a little hard, admittedly! Feathers likes to think of himself as quite intelligent, but he also likes Steven very much! He is very bright, and friendly, and pets his feathers just right, and forgave him when he grabbed a Peppercat. (Feathers is, admittedly, a little confused on why that was a bad thing, because that was just a new Pokemon Steven had, right? And everyone knows that when Pokemon faint in a battle, people just randomly lose consciousness and wake up in a PokeCenter.) So sometimes he has to remind himself not to let Steven go back to the carnival just yet.
Yet he has finally succeeded! It has taken a lot of work (and mostly a note from Joker that was attached to his neck asking Steven to show Feathers around), but Feathers is feeling confident when they finally return to the carnival. A certain whistle had flickered through Steven's radio- the sign that it was okay to come back.
So it's with a puffed up proud chest that Feathers leads Steven to the cookhouse, flapping his wings excitedly and doing his best to herd the boy with head-cuddles to his legs. As the pair approach the cookhouse, it's uncharacteristically dark. Quite a rare occurrence, honestly, even now that the old Head Cook has long since retired. Even without the older woman's presence, there's usually some light or another on within its depths. Sometimes it's just for sake of ease. Often it's because sleeping patterns in the Carnival vary, with some members never really sleeping at all but still liking a nice snack or the open quietness of the cookhouse at night. That will probably be the first sign to Steven that something is up...
But Feathers is insistent. He was given very clear and simple instructions! By Joker, his beloved larger and antlered bird. So he continues to nudge Steven closer to the front doors, hopping excitedly around the youth. As the door is finally opened into the dark....
Lights flash on, flooding the cookhouse with visibility once more, and-
"CONGRATULATIONS, STEVEN!"
It's a party! And everyone better have cheered that out as Joker told them to, or else, well, he'll be doing it on his own, and that will just be awkward for everyone. With a big banner stretched out congratulating Steven for his gold medal win, balloons and confetti everywhere, and all sorts of other decorations livening the place up, it's a pretty great place to be! Probably better than some parts of the space station and cabins down on the planet are looking, honestly.... although that's not saying much.
Part of what's helping to brighten the atmosphere? The large karaoke equipment all set up! Veterans of the Carnival, and those who joined at the start of the last working year during the dreamland stop, will recognize it quite well. It's still functioning as well as ever, and will gladly blare out quite a few selection of songs.... although more than a few of them are rather dated, unless Acquisitions has been adding to it when no one has been looking. Considering most of the songs seem to be from early 2000s and before, they probably would have done everyone a favor. Or maybe, considering it's karaoke, it's never really a favor to anyone...
Food has also been set up for everyone, but especially the winner! In honor of Steven's victory, a large and multi-layered chocolate cake has been baked expertly for the occasion. Due to such short notice (Joker decided to do this literally today), it isn't going to be winning any medals itself in the "looks" department.... but it doesn't need fancy looks. It's plenty delicious on its own, sweet and perfectly soft. Joker may only have one hand, but he's still plenty proficient in the kitchen. (Especially when he can harass other people into helping him with cooking.)
Along with the victory cake, there's also plenty of other food, enough for everyone in the carnival to at least have a little bit of everything! For anyone who's familiar with Joker's own homeworld and time, they've perhaps noticed that he's purposefully stayed away from anything that might remind anyone of their time in the Prince's manor. Instead, he's stepped outside his usual. That means people will be able to find various curries available, along with warm bread and various meats and grilled vegetables skewered on sticks. Don't hurt yourselves with them. And that's just what Joker has made for everyone. Others have also been encouraged to bring some food to the party, especially if they think Steven would like it!
It's not the fanciest party anyone in the carnival has likely been to.... but it doesn't need to be. Perhaps, considering their experiences with parties, it shouldn't be. That's perfectly fine.
As long as everyone has fun and relaxes, it's more than fine.

Where Joker's last minute cake certainly isn't looking too grand, Carly managed to do pretty swell with regard to getting some decorations around. Or at least, she feels like she did. Aside from the big banner, she's used strips of spare fabric to make ceiling streamers of some sort, and a few more awkward bits were even folded into stars- maybe if someone asks, they can keep one.
As it is, Carly's anticipation is through the roof. "Mmmmnnnhhhhhnn~" She's got fabric strung about, stars on tables...and now?
Now a pile of her own, brilliantly luminous feathers. "Do you think we could put these somewhere to decorate too..? They are pretty shiny..."
She should probably sit down.
[The Party Isn't Over Yet...]
Naturally, when one burns out all their energy in the first half of the party (not to mention preparations), it....means not much is happening in the end bit. She went wild on the karaoke mic, ate plenty, jokingly fired arrows into the air (not. Real ones, fortunately, just little fire ones that dispersed on their own before they could do anything)...
And now she's sort of sitting at the side chewing half a loaf of warm bread.
"Mnnhmmnngghhh....I should have eaten sooner..." she mutters sleepily, albeit with a smile on all the same. Beside her, her marowak merely huffs. Honestly.
[WILDCARD - Early in the party? Carly is the absolute LIFE of it! Later? Not so much she's energy low. And at all times, she can definitely be asked about those...Scrap Stars. Or about how she did in her own event. (Which is Not That Great, albeit not bad)]
party isn't over
He's away from the general ruckus of the party, so when she sits near him, he comments, "Wow, aren't you tired? You've been at it for a while."
no subject
So that's a big fat Yes on being tired. Chewing a bit more of her food, she manages a swallow and a nervous laugh. "Ah.... ....low energy, I think..."
Low Sugar, Low Energy, Low Everything really. She should probably take more care to watch for that.
no subject
A lot. And from his understanding, humans generally recovered from being tired by sleeping and/or eating. But not at the same time.
no subject
It does seem to be making a difference, little by little at least. "Mnnhhh, I got carried away though...I should have eaten earlier, for sure..."
no subject
"Do you want more? I can bring extras." He grins. "It's not like I'm going to need it."
