Welcome Pizza Party!

[lonelinessloop]

WHO: EVERYONE!
WHAT: a welcome party for the new arrivals, with pizza and milkshakes and snacks and candy, dancing games and video games and a big banner that says 'WELCOME!' and music and balloons for everyone!
WHERE: main common room
WHEN: beginning of August
NOTES/WARNINGs: None so far. Party thread!


The main common room has been transformed into party central!!!

There's streamers and balloons and tons of fun and games. Haruka, Luigi, and Duck have made sure that there's a little something for everyone.

There's a food table with all kinds of snacks and candy as well as pizza with every combination of toppings you could ask for.

There's dance games out with their mats on the floor for fun and friendly competitions, and a sign that says there's a scavenger hunt for anyone interested. There's also a bunch of machines, almost like a margarita bar (but of course not!) that offer all kinds of milkshakes and slushies for anyone who'd want one. Fun, happy, upbeat pop music with bubblegum lyrics is playing just loud enough to be fun but not to give anyone a headache.

Haruka had made sure that the kitchen staff knew they wouldn't need to make dinner tonight, and they were using all paper cups and plates so no clean up! Everyone could have fun tonight!

"We just wanted to welcome you all to the Clipper! So enjoy the snacks, and have fun!"

The fact is that 'there's a part of me that's really the very will of the Multiverse' isn't the sort of answer you can just spring on people. But he can, at least, offer this-

"Someone who's helped guide me for most of my life. I trust their voice just about as much as a person can."

His expression turns wry.

"There's only one right path, though. Not that it's impossible to have it get messed up. It can be fixed, but it's a lot of hassle to do it." What with his entire world existing purely to do that very thing. "I've always figured a ship like this was like a bandage for some of the smaller mishaps."

[hisblueskies]

"Wonder what 'smaller' means, then."

Then-

"I wonder if anyone's actually asked. What the limits are on deals, that is. Whether it's energy, or a path, or something else."

Or, if people had asked, if they were simply ignored. Another question to tuck away neatly, perhaps.

[why_me]

"I couldn't say, since mine seemed to be all right."

And as per usual, he puts his mind to work on the problem, coming up with what he thinks is a reasonable answer, given what he knows.

"And I would assume that 'smaller' isn't really the right word. A 'small' knife in the right spot can kill a man where a giant sword in the wrong spot won't. I'd guess it's more whether something is in the 'right' or 'wrong' place."

[hisblueskies]

"Whether a problem is yours to make the solution for?"

That seems to be what Garion is getting at, at least if Alfredo understands it right.

[why_me]

"And whether it's something that can be fixed without causing other problems. Some events, as terrible as they can seem... need to happen."

Should we start wrapping one or both of our threads?

[hisblueskies]

"... Right."

It makes sense, though it's still quite a heart-heavy concept to wrestle.

"We can't imagine how much has gone into the worlds we know."

By definition, practically; the vast majority of them are only mortal, after all.
