TRUST GAMES

[fearless_tech]

[ Have Maka and Soul in the middle of the cafe floor, one looking excited while the other looking less than impressed. ]

The object of this game is to catch your partner when they fall. The one who's falling is supposed be able to trust the one who's supposed to be catching them, and the catcher... needs to show them that their trust in them isn't misplaced. To demonstrate --

[ Maka walks up behind Soul, arms outstretched. ]

I'm ready!

[ooc: For those who want to get tortured and crack their heads open participate in some uber fun games.]

[pianoman_soul]

[Can you tell which is which? Obviously Soul is just here for the food (attempting to set cupcake eating record? Maybe.) just like several other people. Except he has to be here.

He looks back at Maka, seemingly unhappy about this.]

Do I have to?

[fearless_tech]

Of course you do! We can't expect everyone else to do it if we won't even participate ourselves.

[ Still has her arms held out expectantly. ]

Come on, go.

[forthecamera]

[Rise and Matt are also here to help with demonstrating the various games, oho! This looks like it'll be fun]

Let's try it Matty!

Weapon Seeking Meister || Open to All

[a_r0yal_flush]

Yuuri glanced around the cafe area as he peered around the others standing around him. His talk with Conrad in the morning had helped to settle his nerves about the up and coming battle, and Yuuri had left with Wolfram and the others in a better mood.

While he still didn't want to fight in the battle, the young Maou did find himself curious to see who the others ended up partnering with. Yuuri wanted all of his friends to be protected when they went out to battle. There was no doubt that Conrad would find one well enough, but it was Wolfram that he was worried about. He hoped that whoever partnered up with Wolfram was strong enough to handle him. It was a thought that caused Yuuri to smile awkwardly.

Aaa that was something he didn't want to think about.

Saralegui had gone to the meet-up alone, but he didn't see any problem with his mingling with some familiar faces once there. Like his dear Yuuri, who he spotted through the slight crowd in the cafe. Accompanied by his retainers as expected, of course, but that hadn't ever posed a problem before.

The human king made his way over and discreetly caught a hold on the demon king's sleeve, attempting to tug him away from his party for a moment.

[a_r0yal_flush]

There just seemed to be so much to see and so many people that he hadn't yet met. Yuuri couldn't help but find himself a little excited with meeting the new people. The tug at his sleeve pulled his attention away from his search, the young Maou glanced over as he was tugged deeper into the crowd.

"Sara," Yuuri called out in surprise moments before his expression brightened as he was dragged away. He'd almost forgotten the fact that he was meeting Sara here. "You made it!"

[lavenderglasses]

"Of course I did," Sara said with a smirk once he felt they were far enough from Yuuri's friends that they wouldn't be interrupted too quickly. "Do you really think I'd let anything prevent me from seeing you again~?" As if to illustrate his point, he slid his arms around the brunette for a brief hug.

[Lenalee was more than a little bit determined to find herself a partner at this event. From the moment she arrived, she was on the look-out for anyone who might be suitable. Not that she could tell meisters and weapons apart, but still. She had to start somewhere.

Feel free to approach her. Or not.]

for yuuri [filtered voice]

[awesomeboots]

[As she was looking, Lenalee also remembered that she had promised Yuuri that they could take the opportunity to meet each other in person. With that in mind, she quickly pulled out the communication device and opened a filtered line for Yuuri.]

Yuuri? It's Lenalee. I'm at the meeting, are you here too?

[filtered voice]

[a_r0yal_flush]

[The buzzing in his pocket drew his attention away from his curious observation.]

Lenalee! I'm here as well. Where are you?

[filtered voice]

[awesomeboots]

[She comes to a stop by the dessert table and looks around.]

I'm standing by the dessert table, if you'd like to come meet me here?

meister seeking weapon || open

[ghostrepellent]

[If nothing else, it's some free food - even if it is sweets, he'll still go for it. Mind you, Doumeki is honestly pretty interested in finding a partner. If even Watanuki can do it, it can't be that hard. Then again, he hasn't found a lot of people here who are...his sort of person, especially not ones who are weapons. He's always been picky, after all.

Leaning against the wall by the snacks, Doumeki scoops up a piece of banana bread and takes a bite, scanning the crowd, unsure of how to even know who's a weapon and who's a meister. You'd think they'd provide a little nametag sticker or something.

Just keeps eating. Something will catch his eye soon enough, he thinks.]

Weapon Seeking Meister || open

[cutting_trigger]

[ Squall took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the small cafe. He could and would do this.

How hard could it be to interact with a group of like-minded individuals to find a serious partner?

Harder than he had originally thought, apparently. The cafe was bright and cheerful, and the stacks of pastries and two kids playing what looked like trust games made him think of a birthday party. The atmosphere wasn't exactly business like, and he found himself growing irritable already.

Pinching the bridge of his nose he walked towards the group, pulling a chair from one of the tables to sit off to one side. A static moment before he folded one leg over the other, resting his elbow on the flat of his thigh and his chin in gloved hand. ]

[ghostrepellent]

[Glancing up, he sees Squall enter - a familiar face, at least, since he doesn't know a lot of people face to face. So far, despite how long he's been here, he's spent a lot of time recovering and resting. Too many injuries, but at least his wrist is just bandaged now instead of in a sling.

He watches Squall cross to a chair and sit down, looking glum and pouty, and makes a sigh, finishing off his banana bread and fishing out a pair of oatmeal-raisin cookies. That sort of thing seems up Squall's alley.

Crosses the room to where Squall is, and dangles one of the cookies in front of his face.]

Oiy. You won't find a partner like this.

/s-seeked?

[cutting_trigger]

Like what?

[ He hadn't seen Doumeki when he'd entered the shop, overwhelmed by the cafe's atmosphere and caught up in his own thoughts. Even as the other addressed him directly he didn't look up, only half regarding him while glancing around the room.

One gloved hand lifted to snatch the cookie from Doumeki's fingers, bringing it to his mouth to tear off a chunk. A moment of silent chewing - his gaze still averted from the tall young man. ]

[hard_to_eat]

[Ginko slips into the place quietly, hands thrust deep into pockets. The food looks pretty strange to him, but he watches people begin to mill about with great curiosity.

He looks skeptically at Maka demonstrating a trust fall, however-- what on earth is that supposed to signify?]

a meister, too, but just saying hi

[fromthewaves]

[Oh, she recognized him. Naminé took some time in observing the older man, head tilted to the side as she slowly fed on a piece of cake with too much frosting. It's okay, she's playing with the way the colors swirled with her fork, anyway.

She made her way across the floor toward him and stops beside him, her attention briefly arrested by... why were they falling like that?]

[hard_to_eat]

[Ginko glances over, and sees a familiar face. He recalls their conversation, and smiles warmly at her]

Hello, Namine.

[fromthewaves]

Hello, Ginko. [She peers up at him and smiles a little, glad that he recognized her back.]
