Let's Have a Party!

Who: Everyone!
What: Throwing a party
Where: Gym carriage
When: Early Evening- early morning, Apple 28

It was three days after the incident with the train and right at two weeks since they'd been allowed to get off this train and roam a new world. Sure somewhere in there, they'd had a brief reprieve involving a new platform and mess of newcomers, but that had hardly counted as a break from the train. So, the point was, they needed a chance to blow off some steam. What better way than organize a party and roll out the last of his ale to share?

He'd recruited Sarai and Maglor to play their harps and/ or sing for music; Ignis, Ash and Evie to make hors d'oeuvres, Dread and Peter to bring in some chairs; and rigged a lamp and some cloth to make a disco ball-like display in the room (which he made Peter to promise not to touch).

Now he just had to get the guests on the dance floor... to harp music? He misses 'regular' music. Sigh.

"-Where did you find this?"

She is totally taking a small glass of the hard apple cider and almost reverently sipping it. "And do you know if we can get any more?"

There's a noticeable lack of pink shadow with her, too.

Tony chuckles and gives Eva a grin. "I didn't. I bought it while we were at Ciyesia. Well, bartered. I was concerned we were taking all of the flowers the local people could need, so I gathered extra ones for the innkeeper, Albany. I also fixed a few things around the inn for her. So, voila, I got a couple bottles of the cider and a barrel of ale. She made it, you know?"

If he ever got a chance to sing her praises to another void train, he'd be sure to do that. The woman deserved it and a lot more. "But please, help yourself. And.. come on, you can have a larger glass than that."

"Smart. Next time we get off the train, I'll try and find useful things as well." There's a slight sheepishness to her voice, as if she'd been so focused on being off the train that she'd forgotten to even think about useful things who everyone, not just herself.

She looks down at the drink then shakes her head. "Not if I'm going to be mixing drinks, Stark-san. Plus, it's hard cider."

And it's homebrewed, so she has no idea how strong it or the ale is. "Tastes good though."

"Useful is a relative term. There's nothing wrong with taking some time to simply enjoy being alone and out of the train for a while. We'll probably need some of that every time this train stops somewhere... assuming it does, at least." He wasn't sure what to expect from the VoidTrecker. But it seemed logical to assume given it called their last stop a 'training' world.

He huffs a laugh at her remark about mixing drinks. Ale and cider? Hardly. But everyone had a different tolerance level, he supposes. "It is." He glances around and then back at Eva. "Where's your rabbit fellow?"

Probably, but that doesn't mean I don't feel guilty over it." A shake of head. She'll feel this way until she does help. She's not a kid and she really should not foist shit off on ther people when she herself is an adult. "But, it should stop. The train that is. What happened a few days ago... I don't think that was normal. And... I think the driver spoke to us?"

Maybe, but she doesn't know, and the next words are offhand. "Sleeping, in his pokeball."

Not.. really, but details.

Tony's smile drops at the mention of the anti-gravity incident and looks away. He refills his drink and it wasn't completely empty yet.

"Let's hope not."

He didn't mind that not everyone helped as much as he did during the last stop. He also doesn't care that people are bored out of their minds on the train and he's so busy he forgets to go to bed. He simply couldn't handle being bored. It may be overly self-aware of him (given his maturity level) but he knew some of his projects were simply made up to given him a sense of productivity. "If you ever need something to do, I'm happy to find something."

He chuckles at hearing the fairy was asleep. It was pretty cute, he hated to admit. "You need to let him know he's missing a party."

"Maybe, and sure," She'll give him that when she noticed the smile drop - and the way he refilled his glass.

It's not her place to point it out, and he probably knows what he did anyway. The main focus is- "What happened? I ended up helping secure anything that wasn't bolted down and got so caught up in it I didn't check in on people."

And dealt with a panic pokemon, but she leaves that out. He doesn't need to know how close Princess came to Mega Punching one of the carriage walls. No one does.

Unfortunately, that was part of the problem. He didn't know, not exactly. He woke up the next day sick and had to use what Manabu told him to fill in the day before for him.

"I don't know," he mutters. "From what I understand something went wrong with the engine. No one could reach it or help and somehow we got moving again. I had a mess in my workspace when I was able to get back to it."

Eva sighs and scrubs a hand over her face before offering a sympathetic smile. "I see... Well, let's hope whatever it was doesn't happen again. I don't really want to deal with that again and I bet you don't either, even if you don't remember. But, at least we're all alright and no one got hurt, yea?"

She hopes.

It was really embarrassing that the train had been in trouble and instead of leading it to safety, he'd attempted to get help from an anxiety attack and ended up taking the wrong pills. Manabu's brief descriptions of it didn't sound good. He hadn't heard otherwise, but he suspected the only one who got 'hurt' was him and getting an awful hang over from it. However, he'd been making a point not to ask others too many questions.

"Yeah, that's the best we can do. We might also want to come up with some protocol in case we have another emergency situation. But.. you're right. It's over now and it's time to have fun. Think Princess would like the disco like?"

"We should- I had to do one for the Battle Tree, and I don't think doing it for a train would be that hard... I'll do it. You have enough on your plate as it is, Stark-san." There's something in her tone that suggest she'll take no arguments about this.

But then she waves a hand to dismiss the topic. She has an idea on why Tony's taking on so much, but now is not the time to get into that. "He'd chew on it at least. But, it's no full moon, if you're looking to see him fly again."

For once, Tony just smiles and nods at that. He honestly did have plenty on his plate and if she wanted to come up with an emergency protocol, that sounded good to him. He was going to say so, but she seemed to want the last say. Whatever, he just smiles, pleased that they were seeing eye to eye on this for once.

"Hmm? No, I was just thinking he might have fun with the lights. But don't let him chew on it! It's likely to give him a nasty shock. I've been meaning to ask.. what kind of treats does he like?"

"Berries, mostly, or whatever we're eating. Pippi are one of the few species who can eat literally anything a human can. Even cocoa and he's the only one of my team who can. Even Fluffy..."

She'll never forget the two weeks she spent worrying if her mewtwo would die thanks to the equivalent of a Mars Bar. Turns out chocolate is extremely toxic to the species and to this day, she doesn't know if that was designed or just a flaw or what. "He's become fond of carrots and eggplants, though. not so much of anything chilli though."

Why would they want to encourage these animals to eat regular human food? If they were happy eating berries and healthier things, they should probably stick to those things. However, he didn't see the point in going further into detail on something he largely didn't care about.

"Speaking of chilies, it looks like Ignis could use a hand with the last batch he's bringing out. Please, excuse me."
