[log] now, the party don't start 'til I walk in
Who: Akechi, Mercy, Ren, Monika, with the second prompt OPEN MINGLE to anyone who wants to hang out at a club with Monika and co. for Monika's birthday (or just hang out at a club adjacent to Monika's birthday)
When: September 22--Monika's birthday
Where: shopping, then a club that accepts older teens (with wristbands if you're under drinking age)
Summary: It's Monika's birthday, and the decision has been made to go out and party. First, apartment A1 (including Honorary Roommate Ren) goes shopping to prep for said partying, and then they and anyone else who wants to tag along go to the club. Also, Akechi is one of the people going to this club, which will probably be funny.
Warnings: nothing major expected; potential for teen alcohol use; if anything happens in a thread just put warnings in the subject line please!
A. tryin' on all our clothes, clothes [CLOSED to Apartment A1 + Ren]
[If they're all going out for Monika's birthday, it's important to have the right style. It wouldn't be fair to call Mercy's outfits old-fashioned when it's not exactly her fault she got shot forward centuries in time, but now that Mercy is here, Monika is going to make sure she fits right in at the club. Also, it wouldn't hurt to pick out a cute new outfit for herself. The area of town she suggests isn't too expensive, but it's got some good clothing stores.]
Okay everyone! Priority number one is getting a great outfit for Mercy, but if you find something you like, you should grab it. [Treat yourself, this is going to be fun!]
B. DJ, blow my speakers up [OPEN MINGLE-STYLE; threadjacking encouraged!]
[It's the kind of club that accepts teens over sixteen but changes to 21 and up after a certain hour of the night. That makes it a more popular spot than some teen clubs might otherwise be, and the atmosphere is already electric by the time it's dark. The music thumps a bass you can feel in your chest and the dance floor is crowded, but not enough that you can't find a place to squeeze in if you want. If you're under 21, you have to wear a glow-in-the-dark wristband, but there's plenty of non-alcoholic beverages to try out. And of course, if you have a convincing fake ID, your options are a lot more open (just don't let Monika know!). The lights are a multicolored show of their own keeping time to the music, though the flashing is kept to a minimum.
If you're looking for a break or just want to sit and eat, there are booth tables available--small ones for more intimate moments and larger ones for big groups. Monika's picked one of the large ones as her Designated Birthday Table, if you're looking for her, but there's free ones all over the place if you want to have time to yourself! The food here's pretty good, too.]

I'd like that more than you can imagine, Akechi.
[She curtsies, in turn.]
If we had a ribbon, I think I'd know what we could do. Ribbon dancing and ties is popular during the Summer Season-Turning Festival.

[He hums quietly, and can't quite hide the way his eyes are sparkling with a sudden interest. He's well aware that it's not how literally anyone dances at a club, at all, but it reminds him of pictures he'd seen late at night searching online for information about Robin Hood. Some kind of medieval European festival where they'd dance around poles carrying ribbons? Perhaps that's something different, but even now, there's still a childish part of him that perks up at the idea of doing something even tangentially related to someone he used to consider a hero.
Not to mention that even though they'll likely look like idiots, he can pass it off as being kind to an eccentric friend and come out looking like a better person for it.]
Well, I'm sure Monika won't mind if we repurpose some of her streamers, no? As long as you dance with her as well, that is. We can tie a few together if they're not long enough.
[He tilts his head back toward the decorations Ren had bought for Monika and gives Mercy the same kind of smile-and-mischievous-wink he'd used to give the TV cameras.]
no subject
'Course I'm dancing with the birthday girl! You're just my warm-up.
[She winks at Akechi before stepping over and reaching for two of the streamers to pull down. She gives one a few tugs between her hands just to check, before nodding to herself, and tying the pair together.]
That'll do for the length. Now, you stand there and take this end. [She hands him one end.] I'll hold this end. We hold it up and I spin under the ribbon and step to the side around, then you spin and go around my other side, then me, then you, then we both go together. We should be back in front of each other then. It's a one-two-three, one-two-three. We can go slow the first time. That sound easy enough?
