Week 2 Monday Night Pajama Party!!

[HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE PAJAMA PARTY! They’ve really gone all out here, because the tables have all been pushed up to the wall (thank you, Finn) to make room on the floor for pillows and blankets and some cushions, too. There’s also streamers and other decorations hung up for a party-type atmosphere, as well as nice quality baijuand plum wine chilled and set out along with glasses for consumption. Next to that, there’s a variety of hors d’oeuvres to be noshed on, along with whatever anyone else has brought. There’s several balls of light floating around, courtesy of Stella, to give the place a nice, cozy glow.

Feel free to make yourself comfortable, grab some hors d’oeuvres and something to drink, and settle in for some sleepover activities or just sitting around and mingling. If you’ve brought something for the party, you can add it to the list here, or if there’s a game or an activity you’d like to host, feel free to add it on to this top level and it’ll get added to the navigation! The pajama party is your oyster~]

[ Azul's hanging out near the buffet! Checking out the options and also he may or may not be protecting his snacks from those who haven't brought anything.

He absolutely knows who did and didn't bring food- he made a list so you can't be as sneaky as you think. ]
squidproquos: (There's no way to spin it.)

1/2

...

[ You know what, he'll let this one slide since Wu did set up the party. Fair's fair, and all. ]
squidproquos: (Yes I do.)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-03-29 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! Some of these are menu items from my Lounge. I do hope you enjoy it.
squidproquos: (At the end of day three)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-03-30 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
It is, actually! Mostro Lounge is the café I run on campus. It's quite the place to be.

[ He smiles, happy to talk about one of his favorite places in the world- though he won't admit that out loud. ]
squidproquos: (repented)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-03-31 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
I don't often make the pastries myself, but I do have a staff that I trust to provide the same quality each time. Thus far, they've kept to my standards very well.
squidproquos: (is my specialty du jour)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-03-31 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
For the most part, yes! Two of my closest associates help run it with me, for starters. I also had students from school apply for the job, though of course my dorm students would take priority. I ran them through a few tests and training classes before I deemed them good enough to open the doors to the rest of the student body.
draconite: (joy | i'm a villain)

[ Bryn's the opposite of a picky eater, so she's been trying a bite of everything at the table – but when she comes across Azul's food, her whole face lights up. ]

Goodness, this looks incredible...! Where do you recommend I should start?
squidproquos: (repented)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-03-29 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Small glance at the list when she's not looking... Yup! He smiles. ]

Why thank you! I recommend the strawberry macarons- they're quite delicious.
draconite: (chatter | the demon sharing)

[personal profile] draconite 2022-03-30 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Strawberry macarons...

[ She eyes the buffet table for a moment before picking them out and her whole face lights up as she plucks one from the plate. ]

My, they're so dainty and cute! How long did it take you to make these?
squidproquos: (repented)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-03-30 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I started prepping things yesterday when I saw the party flyers, so I left most of it in the fridge to cool overnight. The actual mixing and baking took an hour and a half- mind you, I was also busy working on everything else, so it didn't really feel that long. They can be quite complicated to make despite how light they are, but I'm quite proud of how these came out.

[ He's smiling being able to talk about his baking! It seems like something he enjoys a lot. ]
draconite: (surprise | maybe)

[personal profile] draconite 2022-03-31 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
All that work for such a little pastry...

[ She sounds sincerely impressed. Bryn knows very well she's far from a delicate girl and she has a suspicion that if she tried to make something as fiddly and fussy as this, the whole thing would end in disaster. She turns the macaron around in her hand, to better inspect it from all angles. ]

I'm a little bit jealous, you know! I can't imagine being able to make something like this.
squidproquos: (and get a kiss of true love.)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-03-31 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
It certainly takes a large amount of patience, but it's well worth it in the end. Perhaps I could you some tricks sometime.

[ They do have the time, after all! ]
draconite: (math lady | every breath you breathe)

[personal profile] draconite 2022-04-03 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Bryn blinks at him, looking a little surprised. ]

You really think it's something I could learn?

[ Given the whole Everything about her personality, she's surprised he has enough faith in her to be able to learn such delicate work. ]
squidproquos: (repented)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-04 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
I'm an avid believer that anyone can do anything they set their mind to with the proper tenacity and motivation. So yes, you could. It's just a matter of if you're willing to go the distance, even despite the obstacles.

[ He simply smiles, content with his own answer. ]
draconite: (declare | you're saying he's the zero)

[personal profile] draconite 2022-04-04 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'm absolutely willing to learn!

[ She's all amped up now, bouncing on her heels in glee. ]

I've never done this sort of baking before, but I can manage myself in the kitchen, at least! So I'm not starting from nothing!
twibeast: (true 29)

i'm so sorry

[ He's eyeing up all the sweets like an unattended labrador... but then he notices the sign.

...He still can't read it but he has a vague idea of what it might (???) be saying so he's just

Gently placing a potato down like he's going to try and trade or barter with it. Is this enough. He would like some please. ]
squidproquos: (There's no way to spin it.)

dont be this is incredible

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-03-30 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ He looks down at the potato for a few seconds before looking back up at Orthrus. ]

A... terrestrial spud.
twibeast: (true 13)

[personal profile] twibeast 2022-03-30 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Y…Yes… they’re all that I brought…

…Is it enough for a few sweets…?
squidproquos: (I don't do that anymore.)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-03-31 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He should've been a bit more specific on his sign: "Bring actual snacks and not just whole potatoes." People are throwing him curveballs here he wouldn't expect. Technically he did bring something to the party... ]

Very well. You technically did bring something edible to the party, after all.
twibeast: (true 11)

[personal profile] twibeast 2022-04-04 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh thank goodness! Thank you so much!

[ And now he's going to eye up all the cakes and stuff ]

They all look so amazing, I was really afraid I would miss out...!
squidproquos: (repented)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-04-04 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, and thank you for the kind words as well.

[ He certainly doesn't mind the compliments. ]

May I suggest the blueberry tarts? [ He motions towards them. ] They're quite delicious.
