tonight, i'ma fight till we see the sunlight
WHO everyone
WHAT Party Party
WHERE 79 Crosby Street, SOHO Manhattan
WHEN wery end of Week 4
WARNINGS dumb drunk people (see individual warnings in threads!)
. . .
The hotel restaurant and bar for this log is currently made up of a true illusion and a light refraction illusion. Anything you can touch is solid and what you see follows with what you feel as well as the laws of physics. Aventurine has used his light refraction illusion ability mostly for tricks on the eyes to sort of make things look that much more realistic and whatnot without the illusionist having to deal with on top of the crafting the illusion itself. Basically he's doing most of the special effects, detailing, and lighting.

The Crosby Bar
info.♠ Takes place at the end of week 4 of the levitate (january 2026) event. Everyone is invited! Although there's at least one bouncer to toss you out on your head if you start a fight, feel free to do it anyway.
♠ If you want to do anything super crazy or destructive inside that's a big deal that's going to interrupt others (like a huge multi involved bar fight or trying to set the place on fire while drunk etc.) just hit me up in this toplevel to see if it's ok or not. So long as many people are ok with it and want to have fun, I don't mind selective (or total if everyone down) chaos happening!!
♠ The party is specifically in the restaurant/bar, but you're welcome to wander out into the hotel proper. You can see info on the hotel proper here. Note that only the Gallery/Drawing Room is disguised at this time outside of the restaurant and bar to look like it did pre-apocalypse. This room will have the fire going (real fire) and people are free to get a quiet break from the party. ALSO THERE IS PROBABLY A GIANT HOLE IN THE WALL TO SEE STILL, THANKS SLEEP.
♠ Aventurine is not enforcing any rules about drinking for those under 20 unless they're getting like really sick or something. All the other adults are welcome to put the law down if they like, though!
♠ To the left is a list of characters and their roles to give you an idea of what might be happening around you or who you might be able to address in your top levels/etc. I'm going to keep updating it as more characters in the network post tell Aventurine how they want to help at the party, but I also have a comment you can just oocly let me know about, too. If these people make top levels related to what they are assigned to do, I'll link that prompt on the list, too.
♠ If I forgot anything, feel free to use the questions top-level.
♠ Bring your own top levels, although Zi will be making some game specific ones for fun.

- About the Illusion:
♠ If you like, you can get a party outfit of your choice when you enter the illusion like Cinderella! Feel free to go have fun with extra special clothes if you like, too.
♠ There is both real food and alcohol/drink and then illusion food and drink/alcohol. For you to be able to enjoy the illusion food and drink/alcohol, your character needs to be willing to accept the illusion. Since characters already know it's an illusion, if they reject it on principle it won't work for them. Some of the real food is altered to taste different (aka better) than what it actually does. So if your character rejects the illusion intentionally, it will taste like it does normally. Feel free to play around with this if you want your character to fall out of the illusion and suffer a bit and then convince themselves to get back into it, whatever's most fun for you.
- Worth Noting for Illusion Setting
♠ Worth noting: most of the restaurant has been cleared out for a dance floor and stage area for people performing. Ivan will most likely be hanging out on stage regardless if he's performing since he's planning to stay around the piano. Aventurine has made sure there's plenty of room. The lights are dimmed.
♠ You can make up your own decorations, the only things that you need to be completely aware of is that are two pinatas: The Big one is made to look like Sleep, and the smaller one is made to look like One. Sleep Pinata is for everyone (you guys can break it as many times as you want, assume it goes back together after you get illusion candies;) mini One is for Toki, please cheer him on (if Toki wants to share his One pinata, go for it.) One's pinata only drops sugar-free candy. Sleep drops candy and little trinkets (they're illusions so you can't take them with you, but...)
♠ Also worth noting: There is a table set up with a name card that says EEPY. Aventurine will shoo you away if you try to mess with it, but you are free to leave gifts for Espera (like the little accessories and trinkets you got from the pinata.) There are three roses there already tied with a ribbon on the table already: a white, a pink, and a red rose.
- FINALLY, SPECIFIC STUFF TO DO
I'll add to this (with links, too), but this is mostly noting that there is a Karaoke Machine set for singing during intervals from those wanting to do live music. Sharon is charge of the karaoke machine, be nice to her or she can take it away from you. Maybe you guys can have a drunk singing competition etc.
Dolphin has various games going on in top levels. Zi will provide the rules and stuff in those.

When everyone woke up from that dream about the cathedral, though...I kept sleeping for a while. It felt like I'd awakened back home and got back to what I was doing there. And when I woke up here again, I had the scars to match...but Sumeragi-san was keeping an eye on me. I was asleep here the whole time.
[ So even aside from sorting through the emotional wreckage of what happened at home...the question of how exactly that works has also been turning over in his head a lot. ]
I'm still not sure exactly how it works...or why it happened.
no subject
[ he understands the change in subject, he does, but even kim soleum understands things left undone from his own home. there are things he misses: normalcy, his job, his friends, and the only way to have that is to fix the issues of the place he comes from. there's so much left undone, plans made and haven't been seen through, contracts that haven't been voided, and that continues to add up.
the sentiment is shared.
and he won't force the megumi to talk when he's not ready. ]
You don't have to say what it was.
[ but if it's still something he can't shrug off, if that's why he got drunk to stave off the pain. soleum won't judge him for it.
whoever sumeragi-san is, they sound like a kind person for watching him as he slept. it reminds him of when he woke up here, how his memories shot forward, what he thought in the dream is different to now. ]
But... if this Disaster can pull us here, it's not surprising if it can send us back when it wills it. I can't tell if it desires information to help build this place, or to know what sort of people we are...
[ especially if it starts where he left off. ]
no subject
Yeah. Things were -- [ He pauses to get the waver in his voice back under control. This isn't the time or place for it. ] -- things were pretty bad. And I'm not...sure how it ended.
[ Yuji's voice, the thought that maybe he still had one thing (one person) left to live for, but then -- then he was waking up. Here again, not home.
Did he survive Sukuna?
He's still not sure what he wants the answer to be. ]
no subject
I'm sorry...
[ he apologizes first, it's not like he has answer to this sort of thing, and it's not something he should have one for. it's complicated, the child usually has a good head on him, he's responsible and reliable, kim soleum recalls every bit of praise agent choi gave.
it is a little upsetting to see megumi in this situation from a reader's perspective, it's always what will happen next? palms come to his knees to rub there for a minute just so he has something to do in place of speaking. ]
Is there anyway to brute force the best outcome...?
[ he speaks very lightly, like a secret but before he can answer, agent grapes pushes himself to his feet. lifting his index finger asking for one moment, he makes his way over to the table to look over the alcohol offered, and after finding one that's not too much... he'll bring it back over.
holding it to megumi.
maybe he really does need this. ]
cw: jjk spoilers, casual suicidal ideation. #just megumi things
It's not quite the reaction he expected, but it seems like it's...a peace offering isn't quite the word for it. A way of saying there's no judgment on him for this, maybe. ]
I don't know, to be honest. I was...incapacitated, for most of it.
[ The best outcome, maybe, would've been if he had found it in him to take Yuji's hand the first time and try to break free, instead of retreating further inside himself. But he hadn't been able to do it, and they hadn't been willing to let him do it, and he's not sure of half of what's gone down in that battle but he's pretty sure Choso's dead because it kept going.
He's already ruined the best outcome, then. So the best outcome that's still left --
-- why does it all keep coming back to whether he wants to keep living? ]
no subject
[ he doesn't know because he's not sure what megumi is going through, whatever happened back "home", if it was real... and if soleum thinks about all that was said. ]
You said... scars... so you were pushing your body's limit somehow...
[ as obvious at it is. agent grapes looks the boy over as he thinks over what to say. there isn't anything that can really be done when it comes to what happened and what he can't do now. being in a position where he has to wait to find out what the future holds, that sort of thing is gut wrenching, and soleum knows the feeling.
swallowing down the saliva in his throat. ]
But... there's a reason for it all... because of a goal you want to reach...?
[ twiddling his fingers, agent grapes stares out to the party goers.
he doesn't want to make assumptions, but he does sound apologetic ]
no subject
[ There's no taking back what's already happened, the people who are already dead. He'd thought the best thing would be for him to die and take Sukuna with him, but everyone kept fighting to keep him alive, and with what Yuji said -- ]
I thought being gone would do that, but...that's just hurting the same people in a different way.
