Party Time!
Who: Everyone who heard, basically.
What: Kiriko's Party
Where: Event hall by the dorms
When: 8pm Saturday
Why: Birthday celebrations!

The party's turnout was roughly as expected, and the presence of such a lively crowd was enough to make anyone (but especially Kiriko) thankful for the fact that the event hall had air conditioning. Tables were scattered about, some of them holding food for the guests and all of them clear of the dance floor. A school-aged boy with a nervous look to him was at the head of the dancefloor acting as DJ and doing a reasonably good job at keeping everyone pleased, mostly by way of immediately playing any song requested that had not been previously blacklisted by Kiriko. A karaoke system and open mic were set up, but no one had gotten quite drunk enough to approach the stage yet. The much-fretted over decorations had gone up last minute and the sparkling blue butterflies dangling from the ceiling or stuck to walls here and there caught and reflected the dim light.

Kiriko sat at the head table with a gaggle of girls, several from 1-A, and was chatting and laughing easily with them. She was keeping a sharp eye out for anybody who looked like they might break something or cause other kinds of trouble, occasionally turning from the conversation to crane her head and look out over the partygoers, but seemed quite pleased and relaxed nonetheless.

As he entered the hall, Toru began to have another pang of doubt about coming to Kiriko's birthday party. They knew each other, which was certainly enough of a connection for anyone to justify coming to the event, or even more than that, guessing from some of the guests. That wasn't the issue. The issue was that this was the first party that Toru had attended since he was about eight years old. He wasn't a social person, nor was he a party-goer at all. In short, he had no idea what to do in a situation like this.

This being the case, he slipped into the hall unnoticed and began to lurk around the edges of the crowd. Maybe he'd run into one of the other Persona-users?

Kouchisei was similiar to Toru in how he felt about parties - that they were strange and unfamiliar, and that he didn't know how to refuse invitations. Relationships. Social status. He frowned and massaged the back of neck. Knowing people made things complicated. He wasn't fond of being held to a timetable and preferred choosing what to do and where to do it.

In short, he was frightened stuff.

And in the next moment, he was stumbling. A cry of dismay came from his lips, "Ah!" and he was pulling himself left to remain upright. He turned his gaze on whoever it was and felt himself shiver. This was his personal space!

"You... Toru-kun." He didn't quite know how to react. His tone had started cold, but it warmed considerably.

Toru did not relish the prospect of people bumping into him. That was the thing about isolation: human contact was that much more startling when one was avoiding it. But his awkwardness and unawareness of the presence of others made it fairly unlikely that he'd continue his isolation. As it was, Toru was bound to bump into somebody. Literally. The unintentional contact with Kouchisei made him take a half-step backwards.

"K-kouchisei-sempai! Hello!" His tone was less of enthusiasm and more of surprise. At least it was a fellow Persona-user. "How are you?"

	He glanced left and right, figuring the distance between himself and others was enough that he could spot people approaching and make an exit. "... I'm not sure what I'm doing, really. I only came to give her this." He waved the blue-wrapped present he'd been holding behind his back. "And you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kiriko smiled as she saw the two of them arrive and approach, and she had just enough time to note Keiichi's uneasiness before her eye was drawn to the specially wrapped gift and the tray of cookies. The icing design brought a smile to her lips and she looked back up to both of them. "Hey, welcome. What we picked seems to have worked out, Kondo-san." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sagaki, what are you doing." It was a kind of resigned statement more than a proper question. Kiriko stood behind him with her arms crossed, one brow arched at the back of his head. "This is not really the time to be skulking." (Reply to this) (Parent)
