Week 2 Monday Night Pajama Party!!

[seaweedwrap]

[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~]

I think the Queen trapping them in their nightmares is enough of a reason to fear, whether or not they did something to deserve it.

[as for Garlemald....]

What...dominoes were those?

[strongestfeelings]

She only does it when we deserve it. And I'd like to point out, that my kingdom is the only one here that's doing perfectly fine. [like yeah there was the whole burned ones thing, but they had actually dealt with that!]

But fine, ask your questions. [She's just gonna. grumpily drain her wine.]

[philomachy]

[Telling how he notices that "we" and doesn't even blink at it. Because like, yeah, duh, of course.]

Decades of my great grandfather's manipulations that I could not even begin to get into. Then his death, which shook the nation greatly, followed by my father taking the crown. [Skipping over his granddad entirely, don't worry about it.] Then the assassination of my father, ending his rule with something of a whimper.

The civil war that followed was enough to tear the Empire apart all on its own, though it was sped along considerably by an acquaintance of mine.

And thus, Garlemald was no more. And nothing of any great value was lost.

[seaweedwrap]

[sorry, Stella, Wu noticed that phrasing...and even after Zenos' explaination, he's kind of stuck on that, a small frown between his brows, concern]

What do you mean, "when we deserve it?"

[Sorry Zenos he's putting all that history aside for a moment because uhhhhhh Stella girl w h a t]

[strongestfeelings]

He just gave you an entire history and ethics lesson, and that's what you're stuck on? [COME ON WU--- ah, her drinks empty.]

It's fine. [She says as she snatches Zenos' glass and drains that too.] Don't be rude.

[philomachy]

[Oh. There goes his wine, welp.]

I imagine if she had intended to delve deeper into the topic, she would have done so.

[Yeah gosh Wu what's wrong with you.]

[strongestfeelings]

Precisely. [A brief pause-- then-- because she's gotten a little soft for him-- she eases her temperament just so.]

I'm a part of Solaria as much as anyone else. It's fine. I'm fine. You have more to learn from the history than-- [how miserable life with her mother is? She shrugs. Turns her attention to Zenos, just briefly.]

I'd say I'm sorry about your kingdom, but it sounds like you were not very attached.

[seaweedwrap]

["It's fine. I'm fine." Stella says and Wu...well, he's not sure he can believe that, but also, he really doesn't know what to do about it. Both her and Zenos are moving on anyway so he's just going to...file that away to ask Someone Else about later.

As for Garlemald--Wu props his elbow on his knee and his chin in his hand]

So...what happened to the people?

[philomachy]

[ha ha... ha.......]

It certainly would be very hypocritical for me to accept any sympathy over an Empire that I helped bring down, in any case.

[yeah he does just kind of brush over that and move on--]

As for the people, I can't say it is any concern of mine. Many are dead now. It would not be the first time the people of Garlemald survived impossible odds, so if enough survive I would not be too surprised.

[strongestfeelings]

You-- [Okay, and then he just drops that a bunch of people are dead, and that it's not his concern.]

Okay. History and Civics lessons are over. This is trashing the mood. [you know what would work better?]

Let's get fucked up and take selfies.

[seaweedwrap]

[Zenos what]

Wait, what do you mean--[YOU HELPED BRING DOWN YOUR--oh wait Stella's interrupting, and he blinks at that]

What are selfies?

[philomachy]

I don't believe I am familiar with the term myself.

[strongestfeelings]

Oh my gosh. [She shoves both empty glasses at Zenos, and as soon as he takes them, she fishes her compact out of her pajama pocket. She flips it open, navigates to the right screen and immediately starts swiping through endless photos of herself that shes already taken.]

They're photos you take of yourself. And your friends, I suppose.

[seaweedwrap]

[STELLA HOLY FUCK]

You can take pictures with these!? But it's so small! [HOLD ON HE'S GOTTA FUMBLE HIS OUT OF THE POCKET OF HIS PAJAMA SHIRT] How? You have to show me!

[philomachy]

[He blinks and, suddenly, he's holding glasses. Ah. Alright, then.]

Ah, yes, one of the capabilities of that device...

[But like, Wu is taking this so he's just

gonna

stand here]

[strongestfeelings]

Right, okay, Wu-- [She's so controlling that she reaches over and just physically shows him how to get to the right place, instead of telling the steps.]

And then, Zenos-- Prince Zenos-- [oh, she likes that. She grins, winding herself around his arm again, trying to tug him down closer to their level.] Get over here with us, and Wu, you have to hold it out really far, and at an angle--

[seaweedwrap]

Okay, really far--[HE'S HOLDING IT OUT and trying to angle it but it's definitely the Grandparent Who Has Never Taken A Selfie vibe going on because he does NOT know how to angle this thing]

[philomachy]

[He's tugged down and ends up just kind of

awkwardly bending down a lot because he is so much taller than y'all it's silly]

[strongestfeelings]

[Stella snaps her fingers, and a new orb of light appears, just above them.

Perfect lighting. She keeps trying to tug Zenos in closer, because like, there's a lot of distance there, and then she's pressing her cheek against Wu's--] A little to the left, Wu--- and up a little. And then everyone smile and say Stellaaaaaa~

[philomachy]

Is the smiling mandatory--

[help]

[strongestfeelings]

[is that elbow in his ribs enough of a yes?]

[seaweedwrap]

[WU IS ALREADY ON IT SO U BETTER CATCH UP ZENOS just smiling that smug little grin of his and angling the thing as bid]

Stellaaaaaa~

[philomachy]

[gods this is so much someone help him

He is. making an attempt at smiling, at least? It's a small smile, but it's something. He's doing

...

well he's not doing his best but you don't really want to see his best attempt here. Not that he could super feel that elbowing but the intent of it was clear enough, and sometimes going along with things is just less hassle.

...he is NOT saying her name you can't make him]

[strongestfeelings]

Stellaaaa---- Come on Zenos--- aaaaaaaa

[seaweedwrap]

[he's still holding out--] -aaaaaaaaaaa---[DEEP INHALE] -aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-- [HE'LL KEEP GOING ZENOS COME ON SENDING AN ANNOYED LOOK HIS WAY]
