Second Floor Common Room; Thursday Evening [02/13].

It was time for Tisarwat's first party here, and it was long overdue, really, but she felt pretty confident about it. Something about it felt like justEarth-style party rather than a Radchaai one. She was glad she managed to enlist the help of Nina and Sabine, though. Thanks to Nina, the word had definitely gone out, and, thanks to Sabine, the decorations for the party were abstract and classy, only a little suggestive (because pulling off something not suggestive this week would be near impossible!) and on theme (since apparently there was a holiday this weekend?) without being obvious. There were even lights strung up across the ceiling, set off against soft black fabric, to resemble a romantic and starry night sky. Plenty of food and drinks (mostly finger food, unfortunately, much to Tisarwat's chagrin, but, again, Earth-style party), there would be games later, it was really all ready to go!

Almost. Tisarwat had brought with her one final touch, a large bowl that she set on a stand right by the door, filled with gloves of all sizes and colors and styles, and a sign to go along with it that boldly declared: GLOVES OPTIONAL.

Oh, the scandal!

Tisarwat herself, of course, would be wearing gloves, thank you very much (unless, perhaps, a situation arose where she wouldn't be, *ahem*. She was more than delighted to be reaping the benefits of this planet's uncivilized degeneracy, but she was a little less willing to jump into actively participating in it herself. What she was not wearing, though, was her uniform, opting to go for a sleek black sleeveless sut cut in a feminine style.

She triple checked to make sure everything was ready, and it was, so now, she supposed, she just waited for everyone to arrive.

And here was Ulysses, trying not to stare.

... Okay, correction: Here was Ulysses, staring. But he was half-heartedly trying to hide it behind his drink? It just looked kinda awkward and as also not at all effective.

(He still wasn't sure whether this party was the best or the worst idea.)

Yeaaaah, awkward was going to describe this whole situation on all sides of the coin, wasn't it? It did not help that Prompto had absolutely no idea what to do in a situaiton where that dude from his bird hat class was very clearly staring but also very clearly trying to make it seem like he wasn't staring but also not doing a good job of pretending he wasn't staring.

So enjoy staring/not staring/definitinely staring at a particularly fidgety sparkly Cupid who tried the mos awkward smile ever and then very quickly wondered if there was something htat needed doing on the other side of the room.

God dammit, Sidon!

Was it the most awkward smile ever, though? Because Uly's answering one was immediately trying to dethrone it with how stilted and forced it looked.

Also, raising his drink a bit as if in greeting, would that help? No? Well, fuck, he'd already gone and done it and now, now he was going to just look away and maybe pretend that whole thing (including the staring) never happened.

Jesus, Uly, get it together.
