People In Glass Houses...
Who | Timaeus Nadir and guests
What | Timaeus is hosting a picnic get-together/catch-up.
Where | The picnic will be taking place in the Tropical Habitat Dome.
When| We'll be using a bit of wibbly time so that people who want to attend can.
Warnings/Notes| None as of yet.
(This is an opportunity for me to make some new CR as well as catch up with ongoing relationships, but I also want to encourage tagging around between characters! Feel free to do whatever you like in the setting with whoever you like! Also I will be backtagging this so don't feel you've missed the boat if you haven't tagged in immediately <3)
Timaeus certainly knew how to organise a gathering- even if it wasn't an outrageously opulent celebration to be held on one of his own yachts. This one was to be held under the expansive dome of the Tropical Habitat- the entire location rented out for the day to Timaeus and his guests, a loosely private affair- formal invitations as such hadn't been extended, but those welcome knew they were. Naturally, all tributes and victors were included in this group.
The Dome was a beautiful piece of architecture in itself, though antiquated when compared with the technology used for the Arenas. Rather than invisible forcefields, the climate of the interior was separated from the outside by elaborately curving steel and glass. Inside, tropical plants of all types thrived- there was a still, green pond and, deeper inside, a cascading waterfall. Butterflies in hundreds of colours, sizes and shapes flitted about, tropical birds swooped between the trees, brightly coloured fish darted in the water.
Blankets and cushions had been scattered in the main clearing with hampers of food, but there was plenty of space for the guests to break away from the gathering if they so desired- the dome was full of winding paths through the greenery- some even climbing around the trunks of the largest trees and leading to viewing platforms above. In a temporary gazebo in the clearing, a string quartet played music that wasn't quite the classical pieces Tributes were familiar with.
Timaeus himself seemed in a brighter mood than he had been for months, more than happy to make conversation with anyone who approached him- though he was certainly keeping an eye open for particular individuals. Some that he'd met, some that he'd lost and had returned to him, and others still that he had yet to meet.

"Insanely. Howard's pretty great, though, he said he'd throw me a birthday party or whatever."
"He asked me who I wanted to invite and I thought maybe you'd want to come? You know, if you want. Apparently we're going to play laser tag, whatever the fuck that is. And there will be cake!"
Her cheer was maybe just a bit too obvious, a bit too forced, and she might be flippant about her death in conversation but that didn't mean it didn't haunt her at night.
(Hawkeye's haunted her worse. Wyatt's. She'd dream about them, and then she'd watch Joel die along with them and wake up with her chest too tight.)

And for a second time, he wonders just what's up with the little ladies language. Not condemning, but curious. His perplexed expression only becomes more evident when he demands, "What the fuck is laser tag?" Just to parrot. "Why not just tag?"
And he finds himself fiddling with the sparkling blue coat he'd been given again, attentively dismissive. Against his better judgement, and no doubt the wishes of any stylist, he reaches out a hand to muss her hair. What else could he do? He wasn't trained for this, wasn't able to trust himself to say anything worthwhile. 'Yeah, cake', was the only thing he could think up, and it made his stomach churn. He patted her cheek once, like he would with Radar- like he wanted to pinch it and stretch it and make the girl's life miserable, but gee, wasn't he a nice person not to?
He supposes he should express concern at the cake thing, if he wanted to keep up the lie that he would die if ever exposed to a drop of milk. Nah. He clicks his tongue, pondering. "I'll go for the cake."
no subject
"I have no idea," she assures him about the laser tag. "But if their cake is anything like the pastries in this place, it is guaranteed to be awesome. I'll count you in, then?"
She didn't even think about the milk, because she had no idea you needed it to make cake. Cake wasn't exactly a hot commodity, in the apocalypse, and the stuff she was used to was more like a fruit cake than anything else.

And if she follows him- he'll swing an arm around her and maybe teach her to dance Lindy, like any lady ought to know.
