( i. grand opening — mingle and drinks )

[ welcome to the opherium. open to all metas, provided you’re up to the dress code. so make sure you’re dressed to the gills with your fanciest clothes or you might just be asked to leave. you’re ushered into a grand hall. there are appetizers like shrimp cocktails and little quiches placed on large tables for you to nibble on and champagne glasses being passed around by waiters. located in the middle is a large chocolate fountain for all you dessert lovers (loki. it’s for loki). grab yourself a drink and go hit up a familiar face. ]

( ii. dance dance )

[ and of course, once the mingling and networking is done, the staff come to clear the chairs away and leave plenty of room on the dance floor. the lights go dim, casting soft shadows against the wall. slow waltzes begin to filter through the hall as gently encouragement to go find a partner, maybe hold them close, enjoy a little . . . company and more.

or maybe you just want an excuse to step on someone’s foot. equally valid. in fact, there might be a little magic in the air that tugs you towards someone you want to be with . . . ]

( iii. star gazing )

[ the party is winding down. maybe you’re ready to go back. curl up on bed after a late night with drinks and dancing. or perhaps you’re feeling a touch of wistfulness, a need to seclude yourself after all that jazz. consider then, finding yourself a nice quiet corner on the upper levels of the theatre, where there are some nice balconies for you to collect yourself.

and there are always the stars to keep you company. ]

Jason snorts in amusement. That sounded rather blunt but he wasn't offended. It's different from the usual chatter at these fancy parties.

"Their mistake. You just get to reap in the rewards. What's your company?"

[helpdesk_hero]

"Damn right. Better than spending my life in the office anyway."

The question earns a smile and a brightening of David's expression. Honestly he was excited about this, that much was clear.

"I'd offer you my card but my ID and stuff are with my date. I work for a tech company called Adaptech, we do prosthetics research and assistive technology for those who need a bit more to get through life. I'm one of their programmers."

[robintohood]

Jason nods appreciatively at David's answer. It's genuinely an interesting topic.

"Sounds like good work. A lot of people need that kind of stuff. You've been with them long?"

[helpdesk_hero]

"Several months now. I'm a newer hire. I get short part of the totem pole enough, but they're actually pretty chill there. It's been comfortable."

And he loved the work, quite honestly.

[robintohood]

"Sounds like you got a pretty good deal then. You're not used to that?"

Again, there's no judgement in his tone. There's only curiosity.

[helpdesk_hero]

"Not at all," David answered. Then he gestured to himself.

"I'm a black guy dating a guy and wearing a dress while still identifying as male. Yeah, not used to things going well most of the time."

[robintohood]

Jason softly laughs. David's got him there. They live very different lives.

"You got supportive people at least."

[helpdesk_hero]

"I do," he says, grinning. "I've been lucky in that. And speaking of supportive people, I should go seek Balthier out before he gets into trouble."
