Give me a chance and I'll take it

What: Tea Party --> Slumber Party
When: August 25, 2015
Who: These Guys, also known as the Cute Apocalypse Names to be coming I promise Please join in, just start at the tea party so you can get invited to the apartment unless Koishi is dragging you along
Where: Teanie Teas --> Luke's apartment

started off simply, because when you're fourteen and you just think you'll have an afternoon with friends and their friends that's how most plans start. Some tea and snacks, a time to talk and meet new people and get an idea of how everyone has been doing, feeling, that sort of thing. Luke is always happy to let people use his tea shop, happier to share his tea, and happiest to share his tea shop while sharing tea with friends--that was his absolute favorite.

So Luke would think nothing of inviting a few friends to the shop on a quiet Tuesday afternoon. The store was never busy on Tuesdays, and the weather was supposed to be gloomy. A cup of tea and some pastries from the bakery would be a lovely way to spend the afternoon. If they went to meet Suna and let their various pokemon meet at his flat later, that would be even more fun, right?

Luke just didn't think the weather was supposed to be that bad. He didn't realize 'gloomy' was going to turn to 'thunderstorm' and then to 'flooding', which resulted in quite a few unexpected guests sprawled in various places in his small flat. Luke also didn't consider the connotations of having several young women in his flat (someone--not Weiss--will have to explain that to him later as well) overnight.


Altogether the cute brigade is going to have a lot of fun with their misadventures. There will be tea! There will be pokemon! There will be snacks! There will be makeovers! There will be snuggling up in a stranger's Luke's flat!

Luke is primarily focused on Azalea, at least at first. "Are you sure?"

He's unconvinced, seeing as she's still trembling, but Luke finds himself distracted by Koishi's box, struggling with the sudden weight. As a result of his training with Mayu, it's not so much too heavy for him to manage as it is a surprise, and Luke staggers a step or so.

"I'm glad your head--what?"

Conversations with Koishi have a tendency to get veered off topic like this, Luke has learned, and he often finds himself going along with her. "What is it?"

[azaleafae]

"I'm sure...I'm just a little nervous. I don't know what will come at me next."

She looked at the strange box as well. "What's in the box?"

[koishi_komeiji]

"It's a present silly!" Well... That much was obvious. "I know you like puzzles Luke so I brought some from home. You can have them. I've managed to solve all of them before so be sure to ask if you want a hint, okay?"

They were likely some form of tactile puzzle considering they were made of metal. "I think you'll really enjoy them!"

[lookprofessor]

Luke carefully sets the heavy metal box on the floor, planning to return to the gifted puzzles later. He knows himself well enough to know that if he were to start puttering with them now he'd be solving puzzles all through afternoon tea--and that's no way a host should behave.

"Ah! That will be fun! But I don't think I ought to play now, because when I start working on a puzzle..."

He glances back at Azalea. "I won't lose my hat again 'cause Koishi knows I don't like to lose it. It was an accident. I'm sorry, miss. I'm Luke, by the way. I don't think we've met before."

[azaleafae]

"It's true...I am kind of new around here..."

Azalea's frills rose a bit, giving a little smile. "I'm Azalea."
