TEA PARTY - ELEGANTE STYLE! Dated for TOMORROW NIGHT, 7/22

[entirelybonkers]

[Alice is determined to find her Hatter, so much so, in fact, that she's gone ahead and gotten to work on that tea party she had invited you all to not so long ago! She's gone to a lot of effort, you see, and - along with the help of a certain cabin boy named Siran (who, unbeknownst to Alice, has slipped in a few little savory tricks, uh oh) -

[When Mikaela had heard over the comms that there was to be a tea party (of all things), she had decided to go investigate. The boat was known for fabulous parties, so this one was bound to be just as exciting, right?

That is, until she tried the sponge cake. Now currently a brilliant combination of ever changing colors, Mikaela glowers in a corner, sipping at something that is definitely NOT tea.]

[Cyrus would certainly have something to say about this, but guess who still can't see?

Oh and also, guess who's fifteen inches taller now? He's only an inch below Sal. Oh, dear.]

[chopshopgoddess]

[Oh, a familiar face shes growing to reaaally like. She grins up at him, and-

..wait. Up?

Mmm. Niiiice.]

Hey, Cyrus. Go through a growth spurt?

[scarredpalms]

[Is that-- ooh, yes, that's Mikaela's voice. Cyrus is quick to recognize it by now.]

You could say that. I ate... something, and bam, I'm a giant.

[He squints. There's swirling rainbows in his vague, blurry vision.]

And seeing colors, too. That's new.

[Anna is standing over by the buffet table, clutching a teacup in her hand as she surveys the pickings. There's a lot to eat, but Anna is terrified of eating something that does something to her.

Still, she's hungry. With a little sigh, she gingerly selects a lemon cookie, cringing even as she bites it.

And, with a growl, she flings it to the ground when she feels the adorable little cat ears sprout. How HILARIOUS.

Screw this boat.]

[internalcage]

[Reiner had been minding his own business, with those adorable brown mouse ears on his head until he spotted Anna throwing a cookie.]

Is everything alrig--?

[Oh, there's cat ears on top of Anna's head. He blinked a few times before lowering his head.]

I guess not.

[dormant_beast]

[Anna hadn't realized that anyone was close enough to see her little fit - she normally doesn't lose her temper like that, but...cat ears? Really? She blushes and smiles. She remembers him from the hall, but he won't know her, not like this.]

Ah...it is...not what I was expecting when I ate a cookie, yes?

[internalcage]

[Of course not. He only smiles and gives a small laugh, indicating to the brown ears on his head.]

Yes. I thought this would be harmless as well, I was mistaken.

[tattoofists]

[Looking to the food table, one might notice a rather tall, broad Klausian man grinning like a loon and chuckling to himself. He seems pretty damn amused at the half eaten sponge cake in his hand, partially due to the fact that he's constantly changing from red to blue to green to orange to purple to red to-- you get the gist of it.]

[chopshopgoddess]

[ Hey look, Mikaela happens to be color shifting, too!

And not as amused about it, but!]

[tattoofists]

[Apparently un-phased by his constantly changing colour, Cliff looks around to see if there's anyone he knows to show. It's kinda cool, in his opinion. Provided it stops at some point soon.

Spying Mikaela, Cliff lumbers on over, munching on the remainder of the sponge cake as he goes.]

Hey, check it out! We're matching.

[chopshopgoddess]

[She would glare, except his attitude and casual nature prevents that. He's far to pleased about the multi-colored aspects they've suddenly acquired.]

...Yeah. Sure looks like it, huh? I feel like a rainbow.

[tanvirus]

[The whiskey in tea was a good idea (as always). The lemon cookie, while delicious, was a significantly less good idea.

His pants were not meant to accommodate a tail. Not only that, it's not listening to him, and the more aggravated he gets with it, the more angrily it thwaps.

Fine, tail. He'll SIT ON YOU okay or not, that kind of hurts. Nevermind. He'll just stand over here. Near the booze. And drink lots of it seriously, tail, cut it out!]

For fuck's sake.

[entirelybonkers]

[Alice had seen her father put whiskey (or brandy, an sometime seven certain types of rum!) into his tea, but those were distant memories of a time back home. Best to leave those memories aside for tonight!

She approaches this man with the tail, all smiles and white bunny ears, reminiscent of Nivens McTwisp.]

Ah, hello! Would like a cookie, or perhaps a piece of cake? There's quite a bit to go around, I admit that Siran and I might just have made a bit more than was necessary.

[tanvirus]

[...Rabbit ears.

Well, at least he's not the only one. By a longshot, looks like.]

Thanks, sweetheart, but I think I'll pass. Wouldn't want to eat too many and make myself sick, y'know? The tea is plenty good for me.

[entirelybonkers]

[Alice is extremely proud of her white rabbit ears, and the little tail that she hasn't yet noticed.]

I see you tried one of the lemon ones, odd thing to happen, don't you think? I find it a bit remarkable myself, and terribly amusing - I've always liked rabbits you see, so I think that this is devilishly clever indeed.

[She smiles brightly.]

[reckless_riley]

[Riley had been walking by when Alice's announcement came over the comm system. She'd peeked her head in. She'd stepped in a little bit. This wasn't her usual scene, but curiosity won out (as always) and soon she found that there were all sorts of delightful things to try.

She'd looked over the scones with frosting, but found the pastel coloring off-putting. So, lemon cookies it was! Riley bit in and found them to be delicious. Cooked through, so as to not be like eating raw cookie dough, but still moist enough she wasn't scrambling for something to wash it down with. Lemony and fresh, without being overpowering.

Perfect.

She didn't even notice the tall white rabbit ears that had sprouted on top of her head, or the matching fluffy, white tail that had popped out over the top of her low-riding jeans.]

[conquistasal]

[Something catches Sal's eye as this lovely young woman passes him and for once, it's not those low-riding jeans. A girl with bunny ears and a tail isn't something one sees every day, even on the Elegante, and to Sal, it is highly intriguing.

He rushes to block her path, which might be somewhat rude, but he's grinning curiously and now his eyes are fixed on her ears.]

'Scuse me fer bein' rude, darlin', but're these real?

[Now he can't help but reach out and touch one adorable ear, feeling it gently with his fingers.]

[reckless_riley]

[Riley looks up and oh wow. Hello, tall, dark, and handsome. He may be blocking her path but she has absolutely no problem with being waylaid. His behavior is a little odd, so while she gives him a smile, she's also trying to follow his gaze.

When he asks if they're real, her smile freezes on her face. Is he asking if her boobs are real? Seriously?]

What are you...

[Then he reaches out and touches something--oh! She can feel his fingers on...what was that? Those hadn't been there before?

Riley looks all around, trying to look up at the ears, and finally has to settle for touching them herself. She stares at Sal in surprise.]

Are there bunny ears on my head?

[Welcome to Riley's first experience with body-altering foods from the Captain.]

[conquistasal]

[The grin turns a little confused as he connects with her surprised look, then he chuckles a little.]

Ah, y'mean y'din' know? Must be a food thing...

[And he glances at the snacks, making a mental note of not to touch any of them. Sal would rather not be a bunny himself. Cute on girls, on him... well, you know, it might be cute. But he's still not going there.]
