[OPEN, MINGLE] 'cause not all who wander are lookin' for the exit

Who: Taako, Lup, perhaps you-- invited or not?
What: Taako's been trying to think of a good way to have a party now that ice hell is over, and the disappearance of his sister's husband and his brother in law sounds like as good a time as any to start denying bad feelings and cheering up his goddamn twin.
Where: Around Horny House, aka Imported House 5-1
When: April 11th
Warnings: Alcohol, food, some stupidity most likely.

The night of the 10th, anyone who's friends Taako or Lup-- especially if you're friends with Lup-- will get a text from Taako. It reads:

hey
come over tomorrow at noon
i took down a totally massive animal and im having a barbecue
also bring a gift for lup
dont tell her dont ask questions dont care what it is just do it
your prize is a significant amount of roasted whateverthefuck that i have tested to be sure it will not kill you
also if you dont show up im going to come get you so see ya then


And sure enough, the next day, behind horny house is a large pit filled with rocks and... something or other spit roasted over it. Whatever it is happens to be very, very big, but you can probably see the smoke before you see the animal. Most of the tables in the house have been dragged out onto the lawn around it, covered in mismatched cups, containers of water and plates of fruit, and something lovingly labelled 'SPACE JUICE (CONTAINS ALCOHOL)' that is being served in a large punch bowl. It's bright blue and smells like lighter fluid, so it's pretty unlikely you needed to be warned that there's alcohol in it. One table simply has a sign that says 'PUT GIFTS HERE', which is pretty self explanatory. There also seems to be music coming from discernibly Somewhere, though it's completely unclear as to where-- seeing as the guy running it is magic, it might actually just be coming from the sun. None of that is especially important right now. What is important is this:

Everyone here is legally required to go care about Lup, or Taako's going to punch you in the head. And not even with magic- just with his little fists. So do it, punk.

OOC: This is a MINGLE LOG- please put up toplevels and tag around! While Taako had people he invited, it's pretty damn easy to see this going down, and if you play by the rules and say nice things to his very sad sister he won't kick you out. Have fun!!!

[Excuse you, Drake. Even when she's drowning, Lup's too damn stubborn for that.

She lets the touch rest against her arm, but she finally tears her gaze away from the floor to peer up at him, meeting Drake's gaze.]


Like that's ever worked before. Tell me.

[It's hard to show that excitement she'd feel for them right now, but give the woman a week or two. She'll get there. They mean so much to her, it's just a matter of time.]

[ Drake sighs at her, giving her arm a little squeeze. ]

Stubborn. Okay... obviously I need a ring, I can probably deal for that but I think it'd mean more if I had one made. And then I know it has to be low key, but it wouldn't hurt having some help picking out an outfit or practicing a meal. Mind if I cook for you to test things out?

[ The twins are way better cooks than him but he wants to do it himself, he just can't taste. ]
restinglichface: I’d give you a scissor sandwich (i deeply apologize for telling people)

[The touch is nice, cool and familiar, a reminder that Lup is there. That she's still physically present, even if she feels like she's drifting.]

Yeeah, not a chance, Holloway. I'm playin' chef for the night, duh. Don't even try to argue. You'll def have your hands too full to stress over that. So hand it on over to chagirl. I'll make it as memorable as you both deserve.

[Also like, she knows what you both like, so it works out.]

[ That gets a surprised blink, then a soft laugh, and Drake pulls her in for an appreciative hug. She doesn't have to offer that. Especially not with her current situation. He turns his head enough to press a kiss to the side of her head gratefully. ]

Is it weird I'm not that stressed? Yet, anyway. I just want to get it right.

Nah, why should you feel stressed? Isn't really a stressful thing unless you're doing it wrong, y'know?

[C'mon, Drake, where's the stress in proposing? Lup just doesn't see it.]

Either way, I've got your back.

It just seems like a thing people get nervous about.

[ He's not the nervous type, of course, it's just the more common experience. He is glad Lup has his back, though, that she'll help out despite everything. Then he blinks at her. ]

Wait, what's a wrong way to do it?

[Now that manages to get a grin out of her, even if it's fleeting.]

I dunno, doing it in song? He'd probs hate that.
