Party Like It's Your Birthday [OPEN!] [Mingle-friendly]
Who: Feliks and anyone and everyone!
What: Big fancy noble birthday party!
When: November 11th
Where: The Łukasiewicz family estate in Union
Summary: Missing Boyfriend Quest kept Feliks from fulfilling his social duties, so for his birthday, his grandparents are shoving him back into noble society! But that's boring, so Feliks invited the ill-bred masses to come and make his birthday party actually fun.
It's been a long time since Feliks put in much of an appearance at any kind of noble function. When was the last time? Lux's birthday, maybe? Ages ago.
Now that his main reason for being away all the time is gone, though, his grandparents made it pretty immediately clear that he isn't going to get out of his social obligations forever. And what better opportunity than his birthday to throw a party and get him back into the whole noble thing? It's sort of like they're trying to re-debut him to Polite Society or something, he thinks.
Of course, Feliks doesn't care much for Polite Society, as much as he cares for his noble friends, so he's taken the liberty of inviting everyone else to come and keep him entertained. More guests mean more presents anyway, right?
The Łukasiewicz family might not be quite as prominent as some of the bigger, richer noble families, but they rather famously never do anything by halves. Every cobweb has been cleared out of the old ancestral residence that his grandparents stay in, every inch of marble and gold and mahogany in the place polished to a brilliant shine. Flickering candles and glittering overhead chandeliers light the entirety of the estate with a warm glow, from the elaborate ballroom down to the quieter sitting rooms and balconies, and there are lush floral arrangements everywhere, set into vases or twined around pillars and draped over doorways. A large orchestra is set up in the ballroom (which is left otherwise rather open to encourage people to dance), where they're alternating familiar dance tunes with a surprising number of adapted songs from Calderan and Citadel music, even one or two from as far off as Sanctuary or Glacier. Wherever people aren't dancing, a number of humanoid Pokemon in snazzy little butler outfits are wandering around with trays of drinks and fancy little hors d'oeuvres, offering them to anyone who looks thirsty, hungry, or in need of something to do with their hands. (The Gardevoirs are particularly adept at singling out people who need something.) A Blissey at the door (his grandfather's, Feliks thinks?) seems to be in charge of greeting everyone and taking their coats for them.
The guest of honor is dressed relatively conservatively (for him) this evening -- though for Feliks, all that means is that he felt more like wearing pants than a skirt this time. He is still wearing a wine-red tailcoat over a ruffly cream-colored shirt and a gold brocade waistcoat, with gold trim on his tight brown breeches and knee-length boots that have a bit more heel than is strictly considered normal for a man. (What good is "normal" anyway, right?) There are moments when he looks a little overwhelmed by all the people, but with several good friends in attendance, he's able to largely keep it together and enjoy himself, mingling with his friends and dancing with anyone who so much as stands close enough to the dance floor to get dragged in.

Open!
[She also has teacakes. Of course.]
Re: Open!
Although, when she spotted a familiar person nearby?]
Aren't you...? [She said to herself without realizing she said that aloud]
no subject
[Mami turns. She looks at Fuuka; it takes her a moment to recognize her, too, but then it's immediate. The girl from the battle against Reshiram. And Yukiko's girlfriend. She smiles, then.]
[She extends a hand to Fuuka.] I remember you! From the battle in Glacier. We didn't have a chance to be properly introduced, did we?
no subject
When she extended her hand out toward Mami, she gave a giggle.]
Yes, that's right! I'm sorry, I should have introduced myself sooner! My name is Fuuka Yamagishi, it's nice to meet you!
And you're Mami right?
no subject
[She knows a little about Fuuka and Yukiko. Mami shakes her hand firmly, before she pulls back, and then smiles.]
And think nothing of it. Fighting a god is hardly the best time for introductions!
no subject
O-Oh, I didn't know that! Um...then I really should have introduced myself sooner!
But I'm glad to see that you're okay in the end! That was quite the battle and um...[Quick, Fuuka think of something to say! Anything at all! Make a good first impression here!]
no subject
[Mami winks.]
How did the two of you meet?
[She'll try to save you, Fuuka!]
no subject
[That...didn't really make things better but at least it made Fuuka just calm down some. And maybe a hint of red here and there.]
Oh! We met after our brief conversation about training Pokemon! And well...I don't know what happened but we just simply started hanging out together ever since then?
I'm afraid it isn't quite as romantic is it?
no subject
[Mami smiles, then she nods at Fuuka. She tilts her head; before she nods her head.]
It seems like as good a start to a relationship as there could be! And now you're quite happy. Everything worked out wonderfully!
no subject
Mind if I ask how you and Yosuke met up with each other then? It must have been interesting because I do remember helping him get something to impress you!
[She said with a giggle. And now the tables have turned!]
no subject
[Bullet Ball remains incomprehensible to Mami.]
Since then, we started spending more time together. I might remember the gift, too. Barrettes, perhaps?
no subject
I wonder should he repay me back somehow!
[She's kidding, really!]
no subject
Why, he probably should!
[She'll even push it further.
Best girlfriend.]no subject
O-Oh. Um, then maybe he should help me out with cooking? Do you think he can do that?
[Fuuka, what are you doing?]
no subject
[Oh no.]
no subject
Could have gone better?
[...Yyeaaahhh about that....!]
no subject
no subject
Oh, goodness! I mean my cooking! I don't know if Yosuke is willing to help me cook after what happened!
no subject
no subject
A longer pause.
...An even longer pause...!]
Um...I'm afraid he had a really bad stomach ache when he tried to eat my cooking?
no subject
[...oh boy. Mami smiles, but it's a little awkward.]
no subject
And who know, maybe I can do the same for you too!
[No, run while you can, Mami!]
no subject
[Mumi no]
no subject
[What have you done?]
no subject
