Party Time

[loveandduty]

Who: Everyone who wants to attend.
What: It's a party for all, but the pairing up part is for singles only.
When: Day 19 of Fiddlesticks
Where: Gym Carriage
Warnings: Who knows atm just Minako being Minako will add more as things happen.

[Minako figured she did the best she could for the party. Though she also wondered if perhaps she might not have that many people come. Sure she wanted to put singles together, but at the same time, she simply wanted people to have fun.

In the dressing carriage, people will find costumes and masks that were more gothic in nature. There was food and hopefully some forms of sweet treats for those looking for it as well as a variety of drink, mostly non-alcoholic.]

Comments

Aziraphale blinks, gently confused, looking down at himself for a moment.

"Oh, no, no, not at all." He clearly takes the comment in stride. "I must say this look isn't really in fashion nowadays, definitely not with the mask. But, no, I've always been more of a music appreciator myself. But haven't quite dabbled in composing."

[irrationally]

"I see." She takes in the last part first, but then Alice shrugs very slightly.

"I'm not quite sure what is in fashion or not here on the train. With everyone coming from different worlds and all." Even just for her there would be a huge difference between that would be in fashion in London or in Wonderland, after all. "Perhaps you don't stand out that much at all."

[salutosinedelectat]

"Oh, quite right." As much as he's talking about it now, he truly rarely pays attention to any modern concepts if they don't quite interest him at first. Most innovations he does to his outfit are out of necessity - or, rather, were, but he did have some trouble in keeping up in the last few centuries.

"I do suppose there's no real cohesive style, what with the passenger population being as varied as it seems to be."

[irrationally]

Alice dips her head into a slight nod.

.. and then falls silent. At first she still looks the same, but a moment later she definitely starts looking kind of awkward. Ugh. How does anyone do anything at these parties? Or even keep up a conversation? This is so awkward. This is all Xander's fault.

"I.. um." She starts, then falls quiet. Alice is trying real hard to not look as frustrated as she feels at her own lack of social abilities. "I should let you return to enjoying the party, shouldn't I."

[salutosinedelectat]

Aziraphale falls into that silence with her, but instead seems to be looking out at the dancefloor. The music continues to be a blaring mess for as much as he can tell, and he vaguely wonders where a certain lovely demon must've gone.

"Oh! Yes, I do suppose I should get back to my-- company. Lovely meeting you, miss...?"

[irrationally]

".. Oh."

Right. Manners. She may have lost most of hers overtime, but Aziraphale has been relatively nice enough to her that even Alice would feel bad about brushing him off when he's obviously asking for her name.

"Alice. Alice Liddell." There's a nod to go along with it, rather than a curtsey like she may have made in her younger days. She may be willing to extend some manners to Aziraphale here, but that level of politeness is just beyond her by now. "Nice to meet you, I.. suppose, even under these odd circumstances."

Yeah, because clearly a party is the oddest thing possible on a interdimensional train, right.

[salutosinedelectat]

Not even top three, really.

Perhaps it's the alcohol, or just habits that are pulled out of the recesses of his mind through someone else's influence, but he bows in response, and smiles.

"Lovely to meet you, miss Alice. "

[irrationally]

There's a nod to acknowledge his greeting, but Alice sure looks almost slightly awkward in the face of his smile. She's at least had enough experience in dealing with rude and cruel people, but actually polite people? Who smile at her? Those are a total mystery.

So for a moment she looks like she's about to say something else, but then she just decides to take that leave she announced before she makes things awkward or makes herself look like an idiot. She turns around after the nod, disappearing into the crowd of the party.

(Will she realise she forgot to ask Aziraphale's name in turn? Probably not until later.)
