Welcome to Gaia! ::

There have been a few of these theme parties that I did not dress for, as I was not quite "in the loop", as they say. I also could not think of appropriate outfits sweatdrop M'ranndii often did not dress for them either out of laziness on his part, rilu'oh he began to during the anniversary month in which there was a theme party every week that month. Of course... he was not quite himself during that month either sweatdrop

*takes a drink of his latte*
I am certain the outfit that I did manage to put together for this party will suffice. 3nodding It is not really so vital for attendees to "dress the part", as they say... it is just a fun extra for them to do if they so wish. I have found it to be a convenient excuse to go shopping at times whee

Social gatherings I am ves accustomed to. I was required to attend quite a few in my years. It is always mzilt nicer when you are attending on your own volition and are surrounded by those with whom you have already been acquainted with to some degree. Being forced to attend one with complete strangers can be rather.... uncomfortable.

Xas xas. It makes it mzilt easier to approach others and socialize if you know something about them already. Although, even if you did not know the others there, it could potentially be a way to meet new people. That can sometimes require a bit of an outgoing side, though... which not everyone has. Admittedly, while I am supposed to be a bit outgoing due to my class, there are times when I simply keep to myself and not talk to others unless I am approached redface Sometimes it is because I do not want to seem rude and interrupt them if they are already engaged in conversation with someone else. Other times... I am just at a loss of what to say and who to speak with sweatdrop

I am glad you are looking forward to it. It is always nice to have many in attendance, though at times it can also be a bit overwhelming when there are so many others, even if it is something you have mzilt experience with.

If you do not mind my asking, what is it about your upbringing that was "unique", as you put it?

Gi ussta.... that sounds mzilst unpleasant. I understand if you do not wish to go into the details. I was merely curious. My own upbringing was rather normal... or at least I viewed it as such. "Normal" is quite a subjective term.

I understand. When I first arrived, there was a bit of a limit on what I could talk about regarding my past. Some of it was due to my uncertainty of how others would respond because I did not know them well enough and had some distrust and even a level of contempt for the people here. Rilu'oh, even as that subsided, there were a few things that m'ranndii wished for me not to share, such as our marriage. sweatdrop

*waves to her as she leaves. He lingers just a short while longer to finish his latte and rinse out his cup, then heads back down to his quarters to make sure he's rested before the party tonight*

Amy came into the bar carrying a solid, non-see-through tub. It contained all the material Katana had requested. It had taken Amy only about 10 minutes to make everything. She had imagined the nicest silk fabric she could think of and had transfigured the tapestries moments later.

Not seeing anyone in the bar, Amy walked into Psyzapp's office and set the tub on her desk. Right away, though, she noticed how obvious the tub looked sitting on her desk. So, she looked around and then picked up the tub again. She set it over by the couch, against the wall. Then, she turned and left the bar, headed to Aqua Springs.
