Milli-timed to Tuesday the 28th - New Orleans Mardi Gras

[mogget_cat]

The bar room of Milliways is always full of sound - the clatter of dishes and clink of glasses, chairs being scooted back or further in, footsteps upon the floor, rats squeaking, the background murmur of conversations overlapping one another.

But tonight the main door to the bar opens to the mouth of an city alleyway, to a caucophony of noise and music, full of seething crowds and colorful parade floats, the smells of food and sweat and smoke and beer and those colorful fruity drinks sold in yard-long plastic glasses with umbrellas in them. Mardi Gras is in full swing and New Orleans has outdone itself this time.

Yrael enters, trailing laughter from a section of the crowd on the other side. His white hair is decorated with purple, gold and green feathers, his pale face partially hidden by a sharp, glittery cat mask of gold, behind which his green eyes are bright. Over his white shirt this evening he wears a shiny waistcoat of purple, gold, green, and black. It's clearly party time, big time, show time -

"And then some!" he grins, seeing Milliways. "Fat Tuesday is upon us, Milliways! Welcome to Mardi Gras! Come, dance, explore! Laissez les bons temps rouler!"

Yrael will make sure the door stays open for any party-goer who would like to partake in the joie de vivre, and the Bar can certainly provide a change of costume...



(ooc: The post will be open all weekend and into next week as needed! Usual party-thread guidelines apply! Tag in! Threadhop! Meet new people and get into trouble! :D Yrael will be around, but his mun will not be able to tag much until Monday evening. <333333)

Figures Taichi would be around the food. Of course, that's also where Yamato is, but that's because he's interested in food and cooking not because he's stuffing his face with delicious street food.

(Although he is also doing that.

You know, to decide what he wants to make.)

He does clock Taichi, and watches him from afar with the wary look of a skittish animal who can't move quickly right now because it's holding food in both its hands.

Taichi has a bowl of jambalaya. He's almost halfway through before he notices the observer.

Huh.

He swallows a final spoonful, then hands the bowl to a passing waitrat and asks for, "Doughnuts and ice cream? Thanks."

Shit, now Yamato wants doughnuts and ice cream but he can't ask for any because if he does, it'll just look like he's copying Taichi.

He gulps down his drink aggressively instead and peers somewhere off to the side. There. Now, he can just pretend he didn't even see Taichi there, and nobody will know.

[ofcourage]

That's perfectly reasonable.

Taichi swallows a delicious mouthful of ice cream and doughnuts.

...And peers at Yamato.

Yamato feels taunted.

He's also occasionally glancing at Taichi. Just out of the corner of his eye.
