Thank God It's... Valentines? Just party like it's a Friday!
Who: Other Father (otherfathering) and YOU! Anyone and everyone are welcome.
Where: the Other House backgarden, on the outskirts of Goldenrod and Route 34
When: Valentines Day Evening
Summary: In an attempt to keep people from needing to use their own lights, as well as having fun and letting his garden shine as it should, Father's hosting a garden party!
Rating: E? how do ratings work?
Log:
It was no secret that the Other Father loved to garden, and more as such loved his garden. If he wasn't working with music or children or working in general, he was usually to be found in the garden, planting some new seed, harvesting some strange berry, or pretty-ing up the place with lights and ornaments. With the complexity of the garden, one wrong placement could have made it cluttered; Other Father's placements made it look wonderful. Just like the Otherworld, the family garden was indeed a fantastic garden.
The family garden always glowed, but it struggled as it tried its hardest to grow over the neighboring lights of Goldenrod, never quite looking as beautiful as it should. Father was sure the garden was sad, just as he was that it couldn't fill its potential... and then the blackout was announced. The blackout in which most Goldenrod facilities and homes would turn off their lights and leave the skies dark, to dim their lights for a loving mating season of two marvelous Pokémon. And it gave him an idea. The blackout was optional, so if he were to host an open garden party, then those who attended wouldn't need to use their own lights! Let the garden glow, stop a couple of houses glowing! In his mind, it was a good deed that could work.
And so the garden had been set; the multi-coloured lights shone around the plants and berries and plastic bird-Pokémon, they draped over the branches of the living centerpiece that was the tree, its treehouse that the children had built sat alongside the net of tiny bulbs; they continued onwards and illuminated the performance area, draped over the speaker and around the microphone stand, the area that placed beside the BBQ (luckily not let lit) that still had no idea who would be its cook. Father and his little helpers had made sure the garden was perfect, just like his family and their home.
Tonight would be magical if all went well, and he sincerely hoped it would help the cause of love; there was never quite enough of that, especially on Valentines day.
((ooc; welcome to the party log! The log will be divided into sections as most group logs are. Post under the sections and generally party- or if your character is doing something special, just post a new section.
Have fun, and Happy Valentines!))

[A happy, if reserved, voice from nearby revealed the tall, thin former troll, a rather pleased expression on her face as she approached the shorter girl.]
You wore it!
[It wasn't that she was surprised Aradia wore the outfit she had made, but Kanaya couldn't help but be thrilled when someone did. And it looked rather good too, although the moment Kanaya was close enough she waving a hand in the air.]
Turn around, turn around, let me see it...
no subject
[ Oh, turn around. Setting her glass of water down, Aradia obliged by spinning slowly, being somewhat familiar with this sort of request from the Christmas party, where she'd gotten the same treatment after putting on the sweater Kanaya had made. ]
no subject
I will have to adjust the skirt a tad, perhaps slightly shorter, but otherwise...it seems to suit you.
no subject
Are you having fun so far?
no subject
[The former rainbow drinker shrugs.]
I suppose so. I have to admit, I mostly came to see what this Other Father was like...
no subject
[ At the mention of Other Father Aradia looks curious. ] Have you spoken to him much?
no subject
...We only spoke once, but the things he talked about...
[Kanaya was not pleased.]
no subject
...The things he talked about? [ Aradia's...unaware. ]
no subject
Ah...he spoke of sewing buttons into the eyes of human children.
no subject
[ wait what ] Wait, what?
no subject
[She hesitates.]
The way he explained it, the children he took in...not here, but wherever he is from...he had to sew buttons into their eyes.
no subject
[ ...hang on. ]
..."Had to"? And buttons into eyes...what purpose did that serve?
no subject
[She frowns.]
I'm not certain, he was frustratingly non-specific as to why it was necessary. Merely that it was, in fact, necessary for the children to do so if they wished to remain.
no subject
[ ...Um. This is completely at odds with the things she discussed with Father herself... ]
Necessary...I wonder what could require that? Although we're no strangers to odd requirements...
no subject
[That, and she needs to borrow other people's flyers...]
I don't know. But he was quite certain it was necessary. There though, not here.
no subject
[ She would lend a flyer to Kanaya in a heartbeat, though. She has...lots. ]
Hm. I'll have to talk to him about it, I think.
no subject
[Kanaya nods.]
I was also planning to ask again, though I suspect he will be as evasive as last time.
