Tobir, meanwhile, is making his way to the food and drinks now that he's been set down on his feet again. He goes straight for the sweet fruit punch, drinking two full glasses before turning his attention to gathering and then working his way through a plate of food. He hasn't eaten since shortly before noon, before any of this excitement had started, and he's kind of starving!

The food is nice, it's common for the day-to-day Origin island food to be crystal-duplicated which means a lot of the same. But people managed to figure out a cuisine out of it. The fruit punch has an interesting taste to it, under the sweetness. Something Tobir can't quite identify, and might not notice once he starts scarfing down the finger food shaped in the letters of his name.

Heri was about to come over and see what Tobir was eating, but a Gabe decides to drag him to the dance floor.

Huh, they are shaped like the letters of his name. This handily distracts him entirely from trying to figure out what that aftertaste was. He gets drawn into sorting the letters on one platter into piles while he eats, before someone laughs loudly nearby and shakes him out of it.

Appetite sated, he steps away from the table, blinking at the bright lights, and looks around for anyone who looks like they might like to dance.

Well, the band Gabriel and the Valentines is playing a very upbeat music. And a lot of people want to dance, with him in particular! Elle is the one to reach him faster. She takes him to the middle of the dance floor.

Permalink

Yay, dancing! 

-very uncoordinated dancing. That's a little weird, he's kind of clumsy normally but it's usually not this bad! He has to apologize loudly over the music to several people for hitting them by accident, and at one point he actually trips backwards onto someone.

It's Kenta. He is a bit uncoordinated as well. "Hey! Don't get too enth-enthusiastic!"

Permalink

"Sorry! I keep bumping into people! Thanks for catching me!" He pulls himself back up using Kenta's arm as a steadying point, "Isn't being enthuuusiastic the point, though?" He asks Kenta as he does so, and then he almost tips over again. 

"The food is shaped like my name!" He continues once he's got his balance back again, "Come see!"

Permalink

Kenta reaction to this is to giggle helplessly. "They are! How did they it this fast?" Then he noms on a T.

Permalink

Tobir nods between sips of punch, "Magic, I guess!" He also giggles, and then claps a hand over his mouth, startled by the sound. He squints suspiciously at his cup, "What's in this?" 

Permalink

Kenta sniffs. "...Fruit? And punch?"

Permalink

"What is punch?" Tobir asks in a distantly curious tone. He shakes his head, "Well, it's delicious, anyway." He finishes the cup. Looking around, he grabs Kenta's hand and tugs him back towards the floor, "Come on, let's go back!"

Permalink

"Yes!" Kenta says, making Tobir twirl.

Permalink

He laughs gleefully! 

 

A while later, they collapse breathlessly into the sand at the edge of the party to take a breather. "Origin really knows how to throw a party," Tobir says, "Good food, good music, dancing..." he trails off, catching his breath, and admiring the stars above.

A spark of light rises up and then explodes in a shower of multiple colors.

"Fireworks!"

Permalink

Fireworks!!! He shoots up and looks around for where they're coming from. Once he finds the spot they're setting them off from, he points it out to Kenta, "Let's go see!" 

Permalink

Heri is over there. Alongside two Henries and a Gabe with his hands in his pockets. "Hey, guys! Did you like my surprise?"

Permalink

Hug for Heri! "It's great," he says. "How'd you do it? Can we try?" 

Permalink

"I was researching chemistry the other day. And asked these Henries here."

Permalink

"Let's go with Chemist and Miner."

Permalink

"Yeah, I asked if it was possible, and they agreed to do it."

Permalink

"And I offered to help, because Heri and Henries have no sense of aesthetic."

Permalink

"Anyway, you guys can try launching one if you want."

Permalink

He nods along to the explanation. "You have excellent timing," he tells Heri. 

He bounds over to one of the fireworks still on the ground. He uses the fire control crystal he has to draw a stream of fire over from a nearby bonfire. 

Permalink

-his control over it wavers for a moment. Instead of lighting the firework in front of him, the stream flares out and lights all the ones near him. 

"Oh shit-" 

Permalink

Gabe pushes Tobir and Heri aside in the way of the explosion. Then he flares with a red-purple aura...
