not that threatening to decapitate each other and arranging moonlight duels isn't oscar-worthy, but for those of us that prefer alternatives to murder...

i'd like to point out that the future still apparently celebrates halloween. sure, there are bar crawls and costume parties everywhere you look... but do we really need the publicity of booze + empathy bonds + blue light specials?

maybe we should consider throwing our own party. any takers?

Wait.

Are you having your fellow Displaced pay to get into this party?

[evite]

for entry? no
if we're renting out a place, i'm not footing the bill

though if people expect to do more than just stand around, they're going to have to chip in a few bucks. i'm not catering this thing

[strove]

It sounds like some research is needed.

Is there a consensus on how or when this is likely to happen? If?

[evite]

i didn't take a formal poll
but my guess is that anyone who bothered to reply is interested

[strove]

Even that very concise "no"?

[After Damian's post, Clarke isn't reading into threads, but she did a quick scan of everyone's first remarks.]

[evite]

well, he doesn't exactly get a choice. that's the hazard of dating me, i guess

[strove]

I see. Explains why he wanted to get ahead of things as quickly as possible.

[evite]

[ there's just a momentary pause of daisy staring into space like it's a camera on the office ]

right.
or he was making a joke.

are you against us throwing a party? or just the part where we're hypothetically asking people to chip in if they want to drink anything harder than water?

[strove]

Sorry, did I do something to make everyone think I want to ruin their fun? We've been at parties together. I like parties.

["I'm fine. I'm threatened all the time, only I usually can call someone I care about afterward."]

It's okay. It's just that I was joking, too.

[evite]

you don't sound like you're joking
you sound like you're three seconds away from biting someone's head off

[ irony ]

do you want to get a drink or something?

[strove]

What I want is for you to trust me when I say that it was a joke. I need someone to trust me at my word.

[evite]

this is not about taking you at your word or trusting you, okay? i'm just saying you sound seriously stressed out.

which, in case nobody's ever pointed it out, makes it kind of hard to tell if you're joking.

[strove]

Text does that, too.

Bring your own drinks and snacks. It's communal.

[strove]

Solid plan. Do we want to have a signup for who brings what, or wing it?

[Clarke ... loves ... organizing ...]

[realists]

Wing it.

[ whomst the fuck plans? not jyn! that is what cassian is for. they're gonna wind up with 700 bags of chips and no food but who cares. ]

Water is covered. Everything else is fair game.

[strove]

[Clarke plans. Clarke can see a bad idea from a mile away, and at least this time, it's something innocent like a party that doesn't lead to a long, unnecessarily precocious statement.]

I'm not sure that's a very good idea. These neural implants can help with the "winging it" so it's not poorly done.

[realists]

[ considering the plot of rogue one is jyn yelling WE'RE FUCKING WINGING IT BOYS over complaints from cassian and k2, she is made of but do we have to? ]

If you want to make a sign up sheet, I support you.

[strove]

[Good news: it's 2511 and people love micromanaging other people's lives.

So: there's an app for that.

She sets up her profile on it, and shoots Jyn the link.]

There's an app for that.

[After debating, she adds what she's bringing: some smoked salmon and roasted sweet potatoes.]

I'm already signed up.

[realists]

[ oh huh that is surprisingly easy. ]

Huh.

[ well she is not a liar today so jyn reluctantly signs up.

for chips. :) ]
