Where: All over the city!
When: April 15th-April 19th

It's finally time to reap the rewards you've earned from all that hard work collecting and returning the Hope orbs! Be careful walking the streets during the small earthquakes, but feel free to admire the scenery as your beautiful city reassembles its way back into its former glory.

There are new houses where the destroyed buildings once were, and they're perfect for a single person or pair of lovebirds. In addition, you'll find that the electricity to these new houses, and all other homes and shops in the city is restored. The food is better, the monsters are gone- hey, this city might be livable again!

To cap it all off, we've got a feast waiting for you on the 19th! Come one, come all, and enjoy all of your favorite foods, drinks, and party games. It's been awhile since we've all gotten together to celebrate something good, so get your party on and toss all your troubles away!

[evocation]

Kind of. Just the brownies. They're his thing.

[hardwearing]

...it's a normal brownie, right?

[ He doesn't taste anything funny but after that curry it's possible. ]

[evocation]

[That gets her to smile again and roll her eyes.]

Yes. Except for the grasshoppers.

[hardwearing]

Grasshoppers?

[ If she's still trying to mess with him, that tack won't work. ]

They're super healthy, you know. Some colonies farm crickets as a secondary protein source.

[evocation]

[She wrinkles her nose.]

Ew. Do you eat crickets?

[hardwearing]

[ ... does he sense an opening for some revenge? And maybe breaking this weird tension? Taking it. ]

I have, yeah. The crunch takes some getting used to but they're not bad.

[evocation]

[Yeah, that is total disgust on her face. She shudders.]

Oh my God. I'm never kissing you again.

[hardwearing]

[ That gets a grin. ]

Now who's bullshitting?

I thought you were the brave one with food -- and crickets are like the least disgusting edible bug.

[evocation]

Wait, what? Does that mean you've eaten other bugs?

[Don't grin at her!]

[hardwearing]

Once or twice.

[ Not actually as an emergency food source, but on dares when visiting places that did farm other bugs. ]

Crickets have the highest protein, even if the antennae get stuck in your teeth. Like popcorn shells, right?

[evocation]

[This is the worst thing anyone has ever said to her. Her expression shifts from disgusted to horrified, and she gives him a gentle little push.]

Never, ever kissing you again. Ever.

[hardwearing]

[ That just gets him to step back in closer than before. ]

Liar.

[evocation]

[She makes a face at him, stepping back.]

Nope. Now you totally have to dump me.

[hardwearing]

[ Hmm, he doesn't chase again, in case that'd make her actually flee. But he does shake his head a little. ]

Moment's passed, no such luck.

[evocation]

So I'm stuck with you? You didn't tell me about this bug thing when we met. That's not fair.

[hardwearing]

[ Stuck. Sure. ]

Looks like. Sorry, it never came up.

[evocation]

Hmm. Well, you're kind of cute, so I guess I can ignore it.

[hardwearing]

[ Kind of cute? How the mighty have fallen, last week she was making him strip to prove his hotness to her friends. Oh well. He'll blame the crickets. ]

I'll take it. Come on, it's a big party, we've got more to try.

[evocation]

[Or blame her being obnoxious and trying to tease him.]

No bugs.
