Holiday Bash!!

[floatsaway]

🧙 WHO: Ochako Uraraka (floatsaway) + CR (and their +1s)
⚔️️ WHAT: HOLIDAY/BIRTHDAY PARTY YEAAHHH
🕒 WHEN: Now, I guess. :U
🗺️ WHERE: At her CASTLE.
⚠️ WARNINGS: Venti stop trying to get Ochako TURNT None, probably...other than Bakugou's potty mouth. :(

[It's been a hell of a year, or close enough to it, for Ochako and her many friends here. From the varying trials and tribulations of general quests, to the more perilous missions between kingdoms, to new beginnings and changing tides...it's all a path forward on the long road of life. Despite the difficulties, Ochako's been able to reflect on this past year and finally find herself a bit - a new title and a new, but still somewhat the same, purpose in this world. Something given, something earned (even if she doesn't really see it that way, yet), but still very much hers.

Lady Uraraka (hrrgh...it'll never feel normal, yikes) is throwing a bit of a holiday celebration at her small castle to celebrate the coming and going of a full year. Not only that, but also Christmas prior, and even her birthday as well! All friends she knows, and anyone those friends care to invite, are welcome!! They'll be guided to a decently sized ballroom where several tables have been set up for people to relax and eat, and a separate table for gift giving and gift receiving as well!



What, you thought you'd come to this celebration and leave empty-handed? Pshaw.]

[As the main suspect to whom brought the alcoholic drinks Venti may or may not have dodged Ochako every now and then to make sure she doesn't take away his wine again. The girl is a clever menace and he does not want to lose it to her a second time...!

But he can't help sneaking closer when he sees the spread of food. While not the biggest meat eater there is he does pick at it from time to time. It's the vegetarian option that catches his eye as well as the brothy soup and what is that... tofu? Fish?]

Ehehe... What should I start with? It all looks so wonderfully delicious!

[floatsaway]

[It's only because other people are partaking in the alcoholic beverages that Ochako doesn't confiscate all of them and shove them back into the kitchens and away from people. She may be a bit of a goody-two-shoes, but she's not a spoilsport. So long as no one really makes an ass of themselves in a destructive manner, or causes trouble, then she can allow it, though she will not partake at all and you can't pressure her into it, bard >:|. Really, she may be among the best people here to help with upset stomachs and, uhh... Tossing one's cookies, so to speak.

But as she spots that familiar green cape, Ochako slides over and casually bumps shoulders with her friend and music teacher. There is a damn decent spread - potatoes, fish, plenty of steamed rice, roasted and pickled veggies, tofu...so much!! There's also noodles as well, served both hot and cold and with or without broth. Anything not eaten will be packed up and donated to charities helping the people of Lestari and Celliwig, too, so nothing will go to waste. Ochako sort of planned ahead for that.

Oh, and course...no Uraraka feast is complete with a dessert table, too. That's that she's currently loading her plate with. Mini cakes and some fruit tarts. Maybe a cookie or...four.....]

Ehehe, depends on what you're looking for!! But I will say the veggie skewers are really tasty. [Grilled shiitake, thick onion, and eggplant? Yum!]

[concierto]

[Truth be told he can't help the way his shoulders go up when she appears! Clever and quick as always! And Venti would be one to hold his bottle of wine to his chest like she is going to take it! Don't take it! Don't!

But she focuses on the food and Venti lets out a small tuneful laugh and tilts his head.]

Veggie skewers it is! This is quite the amount of food for a festival! Did you make all of this food yourself, Miss Ochako Chan?

[He calls it a festival because he doesn't really know what Christmas even is?]

[floatsaway]

[She should take it, no one here ought to be drinking any alcohol since they're mostly minors, but Ochako isn't here to police anyone. If they can all behave themselves and not go overboard, then she'll allow the...Enhanced Merriment™ to happen on her grounds, and in her home. But the first sign of trouble...and that's the end of the line.]

Eh? Oh, jeez, of course not!! If I even tried to cook everything tonight, I think my arms would fall right off before everyone showed up! Ehehe, no, I hired some chefs and caterers to prepare most of the food here, but I did help in the kitchen a bit. And I provided the recipe for a few of the dishes here, too.

[The ozoni especially, since it's a regional specialty, and some of the miso soups were made by Ochako herself, but mostly everything else was done by some real professionals.]

[concierto]

[To be fair not even Venti would let things get out of hand and ruin her party. He may be a drunk and totally lazy most of the time but he would never ever let anyone get hurt or ruin someone's hard-earned event.]

My, quite the noble lady. You're fitting the glove well! Ehe!

[He's actually pretty proud of her.]

Now... There's a fair few things here I don't recognize. What else would you suggest I try?

[floatsaway]

[ahdxhchsd--aaaaaaa.]

I-It's just a little party!! I'm the farthest person from being considered anything, um...n-noble. Maybe in spirit, but definitely not, um...y-you know.

[Wealth? Status?? Etiquette??? Probably all the above. Ochako is a penniless country bumpkin and nearly everyone fucking knows it. She'd love to pretend she were some kind of aristocratic Lady of whatever, when she was little, but the harsh reality is that she'll never be that sort of person until she's become a top ranking Hero and done enough to feel truly satisfied with her efforts.]

Mmh...well, the soup is a specialty of my region back home, so I'd really like if you tried that, and there's plenty of fresh fish!! Ehehe, or if you'd prefer a more Western palette, there's some turkey, potatoes, and other veggies.

Oh! Remind me, Venti-san, to send you a bottle of sake sometime, though I don't think I should be encouraging that sort of thing...but hot sake is supposedly really nice on cold, winter days.
