*Yurika appears on the deck of the ship with streamers and balloons. She's wearing a big, green, fuzzy frog suit and a party hat. There is cake.

What is going on?*

Everyone~! I know we've all been depressed because of our recent losses, but today, the White Chalice's forces have managed to win! You know what I think? We don't celebrate winning enough! So I've had a massive party put together -- or at least the best I could get on short notice! ♥ Come on! We have games and balloons and a dance floor~!

*...and indeed, all those things are there.*

Kensuke arrives and just stand nervously next to a wall, holding his camera, looking like his regular nerdy, creeper self.

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

Hello! *bounces up to him in the frog suit and waves* Come on! Do you want to play pin-the-tail-on-the-alien?

[aprimeanswer.livejournal.com]

[PRIME just glances at the frog suit.]

...So, does that thing make you swim better and jump higher, or was the bunny suit at the cleaners?

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

You knew about the bunny suit? But I haven't worn it on the ship yet!

[my-time2-shine.livejournal.com]

"uhhh I- I-" He holds his camera in a shaking hand, a bit put off by this woman dressed as a frog. "There's really only one Alien I'd like to pin the tail on, have you seen Dita? Do you know if she's ok?"

[aprimeanswer.livejournal.com]

It's my job to know these things, miss. I'm a professional.

[No way is he going to mention he got freaked out by it while hiding in a closet from Festum on a previous mission.]

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

Hmm... Isn't she in the bath? Don't worry, have some cake!

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

Wow! Well, it was kind of short notice, and I had the frog suit laying around, and it seemed like the perfect thing to cheer everyone up with!

[aprimeanswer.livejournal.com]

Parties always boost morale.

[You've gotten a grin from PRIME! It's a bit scary, what with the fang and all.]

So, where's the food at?

[2hell-weride.livejournal.com]

You... kid on the wall.

SHOOOOVE-push. "The hell're you doing up on the wall when there's all those girls out there."

[aceshighmach]

"That's right! You should get out and socialize."

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

Over there! *points* Some of the cooks generously donated cake and a buffet! ♥ Isn't that wonderful?

[Allelujah passes the hallway without glancing in, pauses, then comes back and looks in.]

When did anyone have time to get this set up...?

[hold-r1.livejournal.com]

[Wendell... doesn't know what to make of this. At all. His brain seems to have abandoned him, so all that's left to do is to stare.]

Uh. Festive, I guess?

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

Hello! Are you up for some cake? We haven't finished getting the dunk tank set up yet, but there's magnet fishing and bean bag tossing over there!

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

Right, right? Isn't it fun?

[hold-r1.livejournal.com]

...Is it supposed to be?

[aprimeanswer.livejournal.com]

Whoa...that looks pretty delicious. I'll bet there's a lot of good cooks over there on the Nadesico.

[subject-0057.livejournal.com]

I... I'm sorry, what exactly is all this?

[Allelujah has had a rather secluded life since he can remember. He's never SEEN most of this stuff! It all looks like a lot of fun, but he's not exactly comfortable in the unfamiliar atmosphere.]

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

Everybody works really hard! Just like on the Chalice.

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

It's a party!

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

Of course it is! We're having a party!

[hold-r1.livejournal.com]

Ah...

[He looks away, awkward.]

The only parties I've been to were birthday parties. And even then... they weren't this... festive.

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

We never do anything halfway!

Kensuke sputters as he's shoved by Markus.
"Wait! You don't understand-" He pushes his glasses up, to keep them from falling off his face, and he fidgets nervously. "I already have someone I like!!" He shouts, and at the very moment the song ends, and there is a brief silence, so all around could hear his words. Then as quickly as the first song ended, the next one begins, and his words and drowned out. "but... but I-I- I- I mean...."
