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!

I suppose not.

[ There hadn't been much time for games even if there were more. ]

That sounds like a very simple game. [ Alfred can picture it well enough. ] And perhaps fun as well.

Oh, that's the one that sounds fun to you.

[Okay, chess boy. Julie purses her lips and looks around. She knows there are games here, but checkers doesn't really fall under the umbrella of party games.

Still, Hadriel's supplied weirder things...]

You want to play? If I can find it.

It is the one that makes sense.

[ Alfred counters with a quick laugh. It sounds a lot more coherent than the game of 'Twister' that had been described. ]

I would like that very much.

Pft, alright, don't go anywhere.

[She'll go off in search of checkers, which doesn't take as long as she thought and perhaps the gods simply believe that since any game can be played drunk and made more fun in the doing so, any game can be a party game.

But there are few better ways to connect with someone than over a game of something, so ten minutes or so later, Julie places a box down on the table.]

Here we go.

[ Alfred didn't move from where they'd been chatting and wait for Julie's return while watching others that were around carefully. He's still not found himself completely settled in here. It's quite different to deal with people where who he was at home meant little. He was figuring out who he was outside of his title and what was expected of him still. ]

That did not take very long.

I'm good at finding things. [She tells him, lifting her eyebrow up as she sits down and begins to set up the board.] I mean, most of the time.

[Couldn't find that Null creep, could she? Sigh.]

I would guess that is a very useful skill to have.

[ Alfred smiles. He is not particularly talented at finding things but he also hasn't had anything specific to be looking for. ]

This is a good find.

Yeah, I guess it is. [Especially when scavenging is something you need to do to survive. It's only getting harder as time passes.] We can go through a whole pharmacy of meds in a month where I came from. Finding the important shit is... well, important.

[She gestures to the board.]

You need the rules again, or do you want to go first?

Where is it that you are from?

[ Alfred asks and in all honesty he is more interested in getting to know someone new and perhaps gain a new friend (or something). A game is always fun and he knows from experience it is a good way to cultivate respect. ]

I remember. [ Alfred said and without further ado he moves one of the pieces in the way that she had explained after studying the board for a long moment. He believed that there might be some element of luck to this rather than pure strategy as was with chess. ]

Uh, Seattle. America.

[She doesn't wait too long to move her own piece. Checkers can be fun, but chess is definitely a game with far more strategy than the one currently in front of them. At least, on a casual level.]

Earth? God, I don't know, I can't even assume everyone here knows what 'Earth' is.

[ Alfred's brows furrowed. Someone else has certainly mentioned America but he can't fathom it really. ]

Then, you must be from the future. [ He smiles a little and reaches to move another piece. ]

Or you're from the past. [She challenges good-naturedly, watching his next move.

Julie props her chin up on one hand, considering which piece to move next.]

What year are you from?
