Singles Night @ Bright Sky Diner

It had started as a joke, but gradually more people were showing interest in the idea, and so Singles Night became a thing. It would be fun, the managers said, and it would hopefully gain some revenue. The event would have been advertised around the city, so when the night came, the staff there were waiting for a good turn out. They'd certainly gone to some effort.

 

MAIN AREA

The main part of the diner had been changed into an area made of larger tables to encourage mingling. Here there were buffet tables set up, and the lighting was warm and friendly. Light jazz music played very softly in the background to keep the atmosphere buzzing and happy. Maybe people would meet the love of their life here, or maybe they'd just meet a new friend.

BOOTHS

The booth along the walls of the restaurant remained as they were, but the lighting above the tables was muted for a more intimate feel. These areas of the restaurant would be quieter and there was no need for anyone to be nearby unless they were seeking a little more peace. These tables are ideal for people who have found someone they'd like to get to know a little better. It's relaxed, but pretty romantic, with candles on the tables too. These booths include table service, with quiet but friendly wait staff.

OUTSIDE AREA

Now this is the special place to be. The outside area of the diner has been transformed into a romantic and cosy place. Fairy lights decorate the fencing, and there are warm blankets on the benches too. This is a perfect place for those who want to cuddle up. After all, what better way to warm up than to sit side by side and admire the stars with the charming stranger you've just met?

[This is a mingle post! Feel free to add your characters anywhere you wish. Good luck on finding the one, making new friends, or trolling the singles. Have fun!~]

Koumyou laughed a little at that. "Just avoid a certain someone..." and he described Ukoku's 'Ni' persona. "He wants to eat everyone. Or get eaten by them. No in-between. And he specializes in ripping people apart with his chi."

Trahearne ran his fingers through his headleaves as he listened, suddenly tense. Tannusen toed the line between good and too morally questionable to turn a blind eye to, this potential enemy sounded even more dangerous. If not in actual ability, in intent. It was only one to keep an eye out for, not an army, he reminded himself. There was no need for planning aside for keeping an eye out.

"I'll be careful if I see him." It was fortunate that Ukoku had already left the diner a while ago. "I don't want any conflict while I'm here, if I can help it."
its_dad_sanzo: (eyecon)

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2016-12-03 09:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes, well, the more you're around me, the more likely he is to take an interest in you," Koumyou mentioned casually. "So there's that. Probably a good thing we don't live in the same apartment complex, hm?"
treesus: (Worried: Um?)

[personal profile] treesus 2016-12-03 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
"There's nothing to be done about him?" Trahearne rubbed at the back of his neck, nervous. He couldn't know what this person was capable of or how much damage he might actually inflict. Or why.
its_dad_sanzo: Ibun-era (such an innocent smile with his eyes ope)

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2016-12-03 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Other than avoiding me? Nope," Koumyou smiled that little smile of his, only it looked a lot less serene when he didn't squint along with it. "Death doesn't stick, here."
treesus: (Neutral: Talk talk talk)

[personal profile] treesus 2016-12-03 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Mm." Trahearne let himself think over his reply. Koumyou had to be competent, to be what he claimed to be and to not fear the man he warned Trahearne about. Someone to be respected. The change in his smile made him curious how powerful the priest really was.

"I heard about that, though I doubt it comes without a cost. The risk of death or injury hasn't made me avoid much so far. It's always a risk and always will be. Unless you are asking me to avoid you, I rather not, I find you good company." He'd back off, if that's what was wanted. If not, he wouldn't. He'd come too close to being torn apart too often to run from a vague threat.
its_dad_sanzo: (happiness never decreases by sharing)

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2016-12-03 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
Koumyou laughed softly, his eyes squinting shut again. Yep, big difference in the look depending on whether one could see his irises or not. "I'm just warning you, the choice of what to do about it is yours. I find your company pleasant enough."
treesus: (Neutral: Look)

[personal profile] treesus 2016-12-03 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
Trahearne relaxed a hair as Koumyou's expression shifted back to one slightly less frightening. Like Tannu, he just had this feeling about him that he was much more powerful than he looked.

"I appreciate the warning, it's best to be prepared. I'm still remaking a portalable weapon to help defend myself here. It's not acceptable to walk around with a greatsword, I don't think." Caladbolg mostly lived in his room currently, just unfriendly enough to the cats to convince them to not use it as a scratching post.
its_dad_sanzo: Ibun-era (ha ha we may be fucked)

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2016-12-03 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Really? I've seen people walking around with stranger things than a greatsword," Koumyou tilted his head a little to one side, "but then, I haven't been here terribly long yet."
treesus: (Neutral: Interested)

[personal profile] treesus 2016-12-03 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
"I haven't either, so there's still a lot for me to learn. I stick out enough, being what I am, without having a large glowing sword on my back." Caladbolg helped keep him sane on this world with such limited connection to the Dream, but it really did stand out with the glowing and constantly blooming flowers. There was no need to tempt thieves by dragging it around when it wasn't needed.

"How long have you been here?"
its_dad_sanzo: Burial-era (smiling dork)

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2016-12-03 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Oooh, it glows too? Is it also a plant?"

Koumyou had to think about Trahearne's question for a moment. He actually counted on his fingers. "About... three and a half weeks now, I think?"
treesus: (Neutral: Listening)

[personal profile] treesus 2016-12-03 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
"It is, actually, made from a bough of the Pale Tree- ah, the mother of sylvari." That was the easiest way to boil her down. Trahearne did his best not to go on and on with long explanations unless asked. He sipped at his soda, fighting away the feeling of being so out of place. It had to be normal here.

"I've only been here a month and a week or so. I feel like I know very little so far." Not for lack of trying.
its_dad_sanzo: Ibun-era (no sir I would never fall asleep in clas)

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2016-12-03 11:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah, so it's your mother... tree, who gave you that name of yours?"
treesus: (Neutral: Talk talk talk)

[personal profile] treesus 2016-12-03 11:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes and no," Trahearne replied with reluctance in his voice. "The Pale Tree is our mother and we might speak with her if we wish, but sylvari are born knowing our names, she doesn't decide them. We're born as adults, with the knowledge of our names and a basic idea of who we are. My name, mm, developed somewhere along the way."

The first of the sylvari, the first to experience that process. He forced himself to be still and not fidget, even as he felt more and more alien.
its_dad_sanzo: Burial-era (uhhhh)

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2016-12-03 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Huh. So you really can't get clarification on it, that's a shame."

How very... Buddhist, to make him figure out the application of the meaning of his own name!

That didn't make it a great thing in Koumyou's eyes, much to the surprise of most people; he wasn't actually a big fan of Buddhism. Actually, none of the Sanzos he'd ever known had been big fans of it... huh.
treesus: (Neutral: ...)

[personal profile] treesus 2016-12-03 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
"It's not easy to divine exactly what is wanted of us," Trahearne said with a sigh in his voice. Even the Pale Tree couldn't know for sure what the Dream wanted. Traveling into the Dream itself gave answers but even that couldn't be relied on.

"I had my tasks and was fulfilling them to the best of my ability, that's the most I can do. Finding out just how well I did or if I live up to my name can wait until I'm done." Whenever he was done, if that ever happened.
its_dad_sanzo: (suit)

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2016-12-03 11:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Sounds too much like Buddhism, to me," Koumyou sighed and took a drink of his cider. "Which in my personal experience, gets you dead more than enlightened."

Bitter? A little. He'd missed out on half of Kouryuu's life thanks to getting dead!
treesus: (Neutral: Interested)

[personal profile] treesus 2016-12-03 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
"You aren't wrong, my duties are exceptionally dangerous. The amount-" Trahearne stopped himself and shook his head. Talking about causalities would only lead this conversation back down a dark path. The exact numbers were painful to remember.

"...Anyway. Death is a risk, always. It's never been an option of mine to refuse, not that I would, if given the chance."
its_dad_sanzo: (what)

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2016-12-03 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Mn," Koumyou took another drink of his cider, finishing it off. Having died, he wasn't sure what to say on the subject.
treesus: (Neutral: ...)

[personal profile] treesus 2016-12-03 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"My apologies, I should be more careful what I speak of." Trahearne looked down at his cup, a ghostly, yellow hand print pulsed in and out of existence on the inside of the cup. He'd gotten so used to death and serious risk being a part of his life it was hard to remember how speaking of it could effect others.
its_dad_sanzo: Ibun-era (what we think - we become)

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2016-12-03 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Koumyou gave Trahearne a hesitant pat on the shoulder. Less because plant and more because he wasn't sure it was welcome. "It's fine. We Buddhists have a saying... well, many sayings, but this one is always the most fitting; 'life is suffering'."

"Yes. It is." He said nothing for a while after that, mind wandering to places he wished it wouldn't. Eventually, he had to admit to himself that he'd thoroughly ruined any chance at salvaging this conversation.

"I think I've been out late enough," he said, lamely. "Maybe I'll run into you again, I'd be happy to. I should head home, for now, my roommate isn't here anymore, I don't think."
its_dad_sanzo: (speak only endearing speech)

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2016-12-04 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Alright," Koumyou gave Trahearne one of his patented squinty smiles in parting. "Try to have a better night."
