fill my heart with song and let me sing forever more

[ ...Apparently there was still paper left over from writing questions + her flyers, because now over the rules in every room there's another flyer taped up:

Those sure are your lovely hosts for the evening. Regardless, heading to the foyer at the appointed time will net you the lovely sight of the foyer walls being covered in make-shift party streamers—toilet paper, actually, masterfully twirled and hung up by Ferid himself.

Also, the clock is absolutely draped with the stuff too. A good time was had in setting this up the hour before the party so no one'd ruin it.

As promised, there's a table with food! Tons of it, of all different kinds, including vegetarian (if we have any of those here). It's generally dinner stuff, but there's a table set aside particularly for a build-your-own-parfait bar. As far as refreshments go, it's water, tea, coffee, and ~*~HOT CHOCOLATE~*~!! Most of it's made by Cilan—the parfait is definitely the fault of your lovely lady host, though.

There's also a sheet with questions set aside, so be sure to pick it up! And remember: if you can't think if why your character'd come, Aligula's the type to make good on her word of dragging them/convincing them. Basically, don't sweat the small stuff. Even free food is a good reason.

Most importantly, mingle and have fun; that's what this party is for after all! Get to know each other and FIND YOUR SOULMATE!!! ]

[ Heyyy, it's her shittalking mate that she dragged on her questions. ]

Evaluating! [ ...she's not calling him his name, that's not happening. ] What did you want to be when you were a kid?

[ was it triangles because he like, succeeded ]

Are you seriously going to keep calling me by my title?

[He's going to be So Mad if he finds out, Aligula...

But speaking of other things he's going to be mad about: this question. While his expression shows that of a chord definitely being struck, he'll give an answer just to satisfy the question.]

Unsurprisingly, I did want to become a doctor even when I was younger. You could say I'm living the dream.

[...Right.]

Just like Attentive, huh. She's always wanted to be an idol, and now she is one! [ She learned that her first day. It was good shit.

...Though was that like a touchy question or something, like wow. ] Not a fan of being asked about your kidhood? I mean, we were all totally insufferable children once, but you couldn't have been that embarrassing.

[Ugghhh why does she keep pressing further on this...

This is what he gets for being so obvious with his bitterness.]

It wasn't embarrassing, just...unpleasant. Actually, that in and of itself would be embarrassing I guess.

Sooo an unhappy one. [ ... ] That's okay, I guess. I mean, it's not okay, buuuut anyway! Your turn. Ask me something.

[ C'mon. Question sheet. Do it. ]

It was decidedly not okay.

[Oh thank god she's moving on, okay. He can deal with this.

...

This has the potential to be a shitshow, so he decides to go with it.]

Tell me about your hobbies.

[ Hoohoo, she got asked this earlier too! She doesn't have to repeat answers, she has plenty of other hobbies... ]

Photoshopping stuff's really fun! And I'm a natural at it. [ ...which isn't a lie, her pictures are very lovely. ] And... hm... People watching, taking walks in the park, tricking vending machines into thinking I've given them money so I can get free drinks...

[ ...her hobbies are very nice. ]

[While he wants to ask just what the hell 'Photoshopping' is, something a bit more relevant catches his attention.]

Have you pulled that off with the vending machine here?

I haven't tried yet!

[ Hmmm. ]

I'd need a way to punch a hole in a coin and have some thread to loop through it and tie it off though, so I could pull it back—oh, but that doesn't work on every machine either. Like, older ones? But newer ones make it so that you can't pull your money back because it's got a one-way ratchet. [ Beh. ] It always sucks running into ones like that.

This one seems on the old side, so you might be able to mess with it if you can get a hole in one of those coins. Might be worth trying.

[As for how...maybe the vending machine has something that'll work. How ironic.]

All right, so what's 'Photoshopping', then? I have no idea where to start trying to envision it.

[ AH YES, HER OTHER LOVE: PHOTOSHOP. ]

I thought you'd totally be the kind of guy who'd know already! [ okay okay— ] So photoshopping is like, digital collage? That's the easiest way to describe it. You can take one picture and then cut other pictures up on your computer to put onto those! I like doing it for scenes that I wouldn't be able to get otherwise, like, me and my man honeymooning in Paris.

So I just take a picture of ussss, clip us out of it, and copy and paste us into the streets of the city of love!! You can so totally do it for other stuff too, like pasting faces of people you don't like in mean situations, buuut I don't really care about that kinda thing. Photoshopping's like, so much fun though! And the best part is, since it's all digital, you can just print as many of your photoshops as you want and post them everywhere!!

[The more Rideaux hears, the more he just smirks. There's a twinkle in his eye, and it's not the good kind.]

That sounds incredible. Where I'm from, it's possible to do something similar in photo booths, but imagine the possibilities if we got it on computers... Honestly Aligula, as much as I hate to admit it, you have me jealous right now.

[He wants to put Julius' face in mean situations. :(]

What is the best Photoshop you have ever done?

[ That's right, totally be jealous— ]

Ooh, it's hard to say!

[ ~~probably the one that's bound to come out of the vending machine at some point~~ oh my god i just realized i can make up a hundred shitty manips and photoshops and no one can refute me ]

I love all of them so so much... Maaaaybe the one King of Despair asked me to make of Femt and the donkey? That got him screaming for a week at least!

[PLEASE DO IT.]

Oh? What did that entail?

[He has no idea who these people are, but hey.]

Juuuust putting a really, really, really ugly donkey's head in place of his own on a picture we took together at a fair-type-thingy once. It wasn't like, anything big, but Femt totally made a huge deal out of it.

[ ... ]

Maybe it was because I put a skirt on him in the picture too? His legs are really ugly, like, totally not skirt-worthy, but it definitely made the picture shine.

[...Incredible.]

That sounds horrific. I'd certainly like to try it out sometime. Think the Adjudicator would take requests for a computer with it?

[That was mostly a joke since he's pretty sure that would be an immediate no, but damnit. He's so curious to Photoshop in action now.]

Probably not, but there's no harm in asking! After all, then he could like, totally do it too! It's such a totally awesome timewaster~!!

[ someone convince the adjudicator to get it please. ]

[...]

I am legitimately tempted. If nothing else, it'd be a good conversation starter. Or a way to waste his time for the hell of it.

[What has this conversation become. And it's only going to get worse-]

All right. So, if by some miracle we do get this Photoshop thing, what would be the first thing you'd Photoshop?

If we both ask, there's no way he could say no. [ ...aligula he could still very well say no, but he'd probably get annoyed if more than one person asked, so— ]

And oooh, good question! Hmmm.... probably Glacial and Unconventional on a date together or something totally romantic like that! I dared Glacial to go use a pick-up line on someone and he went to Unconventional, so like, I'm totally sure things would work out for them.

[...He knows exactly which title belongs to whom and he's just laughing.]

Clearly that would need to be hung here in the foyer for all to see.

I was expecting you to do something with the Adjudicator first, honestly.

Totally tempting, but I'd want to get mock wedding invitations out of the way first! Maybe a couple of totally cute pictures showing off the wonderful relationships blooming in the middle of all of this would get everyone else to thinking it's not such a terrible idea. [ heheh. ]

What would you do?

Oh, so they're getting married already. [What the fuck are your priorities, Aligula.] Well...good luck with that.

As for myself...

[He taps his foot idly as he considers this.]

Probably put my coworkers' heads on terrible things. [At least he's honest.] But I don't have any photos of them here, unfortunately. I'd need my GHS back for that.
